I LOVE YOU

Very nice article. Written by Sheikh Khalid Yasin.

‎"After 21 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take another woman out to dinner and a movie. She said, “I love you, but I know this other woman loves you and would love to spend some time with you.”

The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my MOTHER, who has been a widow for 19 years, but the demands of my work and my three children had made it possible to visit her only occasionally.

That night I called to invite her to go out for dinner and a movie. “What’s wrong, are you well?” she asked.

My mother is the type of woman who suspects that a late night call or a surprise invitation is a sign of bad news. “I thought that it would be pleasant to spend some time with you,” I responded. “Just the two of us.” She thought about it for a moment, and then said, “I would like that very much.”

That Friday after work, as I drove over to pick her up I was a bit nervous. When I arrived at her house, I noticed that she, too, seemed to be nervous about our date. She waited in the door with her coat on. She was wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary. She smiled from a face that was as radiant as an angel’s. “I told my friends that I was going to go out with my son, and they were impressed, “she said, as she got into the car. “They can’t wait to hear about our meeting.”

We went to a restaurant that, although not elegant, was very nice and cozy. My mother took my arm as if she were the First Lady. After we sat down, I had to read the menu. Her eyes could only read large print. Half way through the entries, I lifted my eyes and saw Mom sitting there staring at me. A nostalgic smile was on her lips. “It was I who used to have to read the menu when you were small,” she said. “Then it’s time that you relax and let me return the favor,” I responded. During the dinner, we had an agreeable conversation – nothing extraordinary but catching up on recent events of each other’s life. We talked so much that we missed the movie. As we arrived at her house later, she said, “I’ll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you.” I agreed.

“How was your dinner date?” asked my wife when I got home. “Very nice. Much more so than I could have imagined,” I answered.

A few days later, my mother died of a massive heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I didn’t have a chance to do anything for her. Some time later, I received an envelope with a copy of a restaurant receipt from the same place mother and I had dined. An attached note said: “I paid this bill in advance. I wasn’t sure that I could be there; but nevertheless, I paid for two plates – one for you and the other for your wife. You will never know what that night meant for me. I love you, son.”

At that moment, I understood the importance of saying in time: “I LOVE YOU” and to give our loved ones the time that they deserve. Nothing in life is more important than your family. Give them the time they deserve, because these things cannot be put off till “some other time.”

May Allah (SWT) bless our mothers and fathers, Ameen!

Berkhatan

02/12/2012

Haikal dan Hakim sudah selamat di khatankan pada 02/12/2012. At first, we thought of doing the majlis kat kampung. Tp tu la...emak tak braper sihat, the rest ada kat KL. Who wants to manage everything. So at the end, tumpang majlis adik ipar ajelah. Dia pun nak sunatkan anaknya.

Semasa Harith dan Haziq dulu, mereka berkhatan di Hospital Kuala Kangsar. Masa tu, we decided to sunatkan mereka secara tradisional. Cara lama. Potong dan jahit. Kali ini memikirkan kasihan pada anak anak..hehehehehe..Teringat-ingat lagi semasa dalam perjalanan pulang dari hospital ke kampung, Harith dah mula menangis. He couldn't endure the pain. Maybe masa tu ubat bius dan mula hilang. So, kali ni guna clam sajalah ya.

Sementara menunggu waktu untuk di sunatkan..kekekke

Hakim selepas bersunat. 

Actually, i have no idea at all, what types of clamp yang ada kat klinik. People are saying about smartclamp. Tp smartclamp pun akak takleh nak bayangkan macamana..heheh

Actually, there are several types of clamps. Smart Klamp, Pestible Plastibell clamp (lupa ejaannyer camner. Kena tengok balik slip yang clinic bagi), alis klamp (kalau tak silap akak...ni yg akak nampak kat klinik la ya..)

Smart Klamp, I'm sure semua orang dah biasa dengar. Haikal menggunakan Smart Klamp.

Ni ruper Smart Klamp. Gambar ehsan google

Pestible Plastibell clamp...akak pun first time dengar. Sbbnya, Hakim menggunakan this type of clamp. Ni ler rupa pestible plastibell clamp bila dah tercabut. Masa lepas sunat, mcm pelik gak. Ini ker rupa clamp tu. Rupernya ada beberapa jenis clamp. Sbb Hakim ni kecik jer badannya, so boleh guna this type of clamp. Adoii..mcm macam lah zaman technologi skrang ni.

Pestible Plastibell clamp

But to be honest, akak prefer cara lama. Walaupun guna clamp, it seems that, it took quite sometime gak for them to recover.  Waktu utk sembuh lebih kurang mcm kena jahit. Cuma rasa sakit tu kurang la.  Bebudak tak risau kalau nak berjaga jaga sangat kat bahagian tu. Dah 2 minggu bebudak ni....tak gak elok elok lagi..hehhee..Klu jahit, takyah susah susah nak bukak clamp. Nak tunggu clamp tercabut..kekek...Paling paling pun tunggu jahitan sembuh....Takperlah..watever it is…dah bersunat pun. ..Ikut pilihan masing masing ler....

Winter Sonata - Happy Ending

Saper peminat Winter Sonata. Korean Live Action Romantic Drama which was produced in 2002 and really a big hit in asia. It has also been adapted into anime series which was aired in October 2009. I'm sure all of you aware that citer ni happy ending. The happiest moments can be seen in Winter Sonata Anime.  It was an anime followed by llive action. Voiced  and played by the same actor and actress. Jun Sang and Yoo Yin got married. All relatives and friends were there. Jin Sook, Yong Kok, Chaerin, Sang Hyuk... Tp of course actor Park Yong Ha was not in the drama (Sang Hyuk). Ganti orang lain which i'm not sure sapa. (Nanti mintak tolong pak gugel carikan....hahhaha) Park Yong Ha committed suicide in year 2010. The Winter Sonata Anime Series was broadcast dalam tahun 2009...Not really sure, sapa all those new faces in the winter sonata anime. The wedding ceremony was held at the house which Jun Sang built for Yoo Jin.

Cross Stitch

Many years ago (not to say many years ago la....)......maybe couple of years,  I was addicted making handicrafts. Join every group of crafts here and there. Cross stitch, beads, etc..But as usual, half-way. Hot hot ciken shit..wakkakaka..... This is the result of handicrafts yang akak ever done before.  Group yang masih lagi menten until now is Needlecrafter.

All these, hasil kerja semasa rajin ber kraftangan before. Some of it, i did for myself. Some I gave to friends of mine. There were several which we exchange amongst group members. But I think, i want to start again...hahaha.....nanti jadi lagi hot hot ciken shit...kekekkeke

Suami Hanya Pinjaman..

Saya selalu thinking a lot tatkala memandu ke pejabat. Time sensorang dalam kereta ni kan...banyak lah perkara yang saya suka fikir. Sebab saya bukan suka sangat mendengar radio while driving.

Pagi ni dalam perjalanan ke pejabat, tiba tiba saya teringat kisah kawan saya semasa sama sama belajar di sekolah menengah dahulu. Satu hari, saya sengaja menelepon dia untuk bertanya khabar. Macam macam perkara kami bualkan. Almaklum, lama tak nyembang kan....sambil sambil tu saya cuba korek rahsia. Kepochi tak hengat. Tu pun, sebab based on the status yang selalu dia letak kat facebook. Status dia memang selalu mengundang spekulasi. Saya serkap jarang je taww....haha. Eventually dia shared juga dengan saya kisah hidupnya. Kisah sedih, kerana kawan saya ni baru sahaja dimadukan. Patutler her facebook status asik yang sedih sedih saya. Saya speechless seketika bila mendengar cerita dia. Ntah lah...pada saya, Suami Hanya Pinjaman from Allah SWT. Whenever Allah wants to take him back from you, He will, whether alive or dead. 

Dalam hidup kita ni, memang kita akan melalui pelbagai dugaan dan rintangan. Pahit manis, maung, kelat, masam pekat, semua ada. Polygami adalah sesuatu yang menakutkan for almost every women. Bukan hanya dia....mungkin saya juga. Why?? Banyak alasan untuk itu. Jika kita ingin membicarakan tentang adil it can never be adil.  Adil tu very subjective. Kawan saya ni, masih tidak dapat menerima hakikat bahawa dia telah dimadukan. Bahawa suaminya kini sudah mempunyai seorang lagi isteri. Dan kerana itulah, kehidupannya agak huru hara sekarang. Saya betul betul simpati. Secara jujurnya, saya memahami situasi yang dia alami. 

I am not against polygamy. And also does not want to say that I agree. Andainya ditakdirkan saya dimadukan, saya memohon from Allah SWT supaya give me all the strength and patience to deal with it. 

I know that my friend loves her husband very much. Every wife does. She cannot bear the fact that now the love has been divided into two. Love ni pun very subjective. Susah nak cakap. Bukannya an object that can be divided equally. Even with our own children pun, kadang kita ni ada anak yang lebih kita sayang. Ini kan pula dengan isteri. Tapi saya nak kawan saya tahu...…Please love yourself more. You have everything that you want. Love from the kids, friends and relatives. Luxurious life, stable working career. It just that, now you have to share your husband with someone else. And for me, this is the time for you to have you own time. You can do what you want to do (with permission granted from your husband). In fact your husband still loves you…but at the same time, he loves another women..hhehhe. Live life to the fullest. Live With No Regrets. Love With No Limits. When your is husband is not around, you can spend your time with family and friends, which you cannot do that for the last 20 years. For the whole 20 years, you’ve devoted yourself to him. Now, you have a break.

As a wife, treat your husband accordingly when he is around.  Bukan suruh derhaka lak..Do what wives always do. Don’t think so much about him being with another wife. Nanti your life suffer. When you keep thinking..thinking..thinking and thinking again.....bykler tanduk tanduk yg kuar nanti..hmm..ckp senang ler saya ni...hehhehee.

I don’t want to see you suffer and miserable. I want you to be happy. As happy as before....So next trip...jommm...Cuti Cuti Luar Negara..hehhehhe

Notakaki:  I dun know what my life would be in the future…huhuhuhu…

Popiah Glass

atau di kenali dengan nama Vietnamese Roll

Akak mula makan popiah ni, bila ada sorang kawan akak menjualnyer. Emak dia from Cambodia...jadi memang tau lah makanan asal usul orang Vietnam ni. Pertama kali akak makan, akak suka. Sedap....mmg sedap. Dan pada akak, its a healthy food. Sebab isinyer sayur sayuran  + isi ayam + isi udang.

Akak pernah tertengok kat chenel Travel kat Astro berkisarkan tentang popiah ni. Bagaimana cara kulit nyer di buat.  Setelah akak makan, akak rasa boleh buat sendiri. Yang penting kena ada kulitnya. Maka bermulalah edisi mencari...jalan jalan cari bahan...hahahhaa...

Akak pergi TMC Bangsar (adik badik Giant ni..so rasanya kat Giant mesti ada). Cari punya cari punya cari..maka akak terjumpa lah ini....yang mana akak pasti, inilah kulit popiah glass ni.

Satu paket ada 20 keping. Perghh..puas makan.

Beginilah rupa Vietnamese Rice Paper sebelum di rendam.

Gambar ehsan gugel. 

Ini pula hasil setelah di roll...hahha..

Ni adalah bahan bahan yang akak gunakan dalam vietnamese roll ni.

Daun selasih
Timun
Soon
Karet
Ayam (direbus)
Salad

Sebab sendiri buat, segala galanya akak letak byk byk...hahaha..esepcially daun selasih. Sedap rasanya.

Tp kalau di lihat pada kulit belakang paket Vietnamese Rice Paper ni, resepinya agak berbeza. Tapi tak kisahlah. Ikut citarasa masing masing.

Notakaki:  Nak rendam vietnamese rice paper ni tak perlu lama. Walaupun setelah di rendam, nampak macam keras lagi, tapi takper. Sebab nanti ia akan lembut. Dan kena handle with care. Vietnamese Rice paper ni sgt lembut....senang ter koyak.
