Motivation

Eventhough i know that all my previous entry are in english, but, i would like to share with my blog's readers with an article or i would say a letter from a no-more stubborn son which is written in malay. Here is the story..

Mak...
Terlalu bosan rasanya duduk membilang hari...
Dah hampir sepuluh bulan mak pergi
Rasanya baru semalam mak peluk kiter kan sejuk syahdu masih terasa lagi nih...

Mak tau tak...
itu lah pertama kali mak peluk anak mak yang nakal ni sejak kiter dewasa...
dan itu juga terakhir kalinya
Emmmm...rupanya mak dah tau mak nak pergi jauh...
nak tinggal kan anak-anak mak... nak tinggal kan dunia fana ni...

Mak macam dah sedia...
Seminggu sebelum tu...
Mak dah menganyam tikar mengkuang 3 helai...
Akak kata sampai ke pagi mak anyam tikar tuu...
Tanpa rasa mengantuk, tanpa rasa letih...
Kakak pun rasa hairan...
Mak tak penah buat gitu...

Pastu mak pasang radio kecil di sebelah mak...
Tapi mak seolah-olah tak sedar bahawa rancangan radio tu siaran siam ...
Kengkadang siaran indonesia ...
Mak terus tekun menganyam...
Rupanya tikar yang telah mak siapkan tu di gunakan untuk mengiringi mak ke kuburan...

Pastu mak sapu sampah sekeliling rumah bersih-bersih...
Pastu mak jemur karpet-karpet. ..
Pastu mak ubahkan sofa ke tempat lain..
Mak biarkan ruang tu kosong..
Rupanya kat situ jenazah mak diletakkan...

Paling menarik sekali mak bagitau kat maner sume duit dan barang kemas mak..
Ada kat dalam almari...
Ada kat dalam dalam beg...
Ada dalam ASB...
Ada kat dalam Tabung Haji..
Mak cakap tak berapa cukup lagi...
Ada kat dalam gulung tikar...

Masa tu mak perasan takk..??
Kiter gelak sakan bila mak bagitau duit dalam gulung tikar...
Kiter kata mak ni memang pesenn lama laaa...
Mak cuma gelak jer...
Eeemmm..bahagiaa nya saat ituu...

Mak... Hari tu hari sabtu 18 Ogos 1999 pukul 3 petang mak tiba-tiba sakit perut...
Bila malam tu kiter sampai dari KL...
Mak dah dalam kesakitan.
Akak dan abang kat kampong semua dah pujuk...
Mak tetap takmau pi hospital...
Dan cuma tinggal giliran kiter sahaja yang belum pujuk..
Mak kata mak takmau duduk dalam hospital...
Tapi kiter berkeras juga pujuk..
Nanti di hospital ada doktor...
Ada ubat untuk mak..
Kat rumah kami hanya mampu sapu minyak dan urut jer...

Mak tetap tak bersetuju...
Mak memang degil..
Tak salah, anak mak yang ni pon mengikut perangai mak tu..
Tapi akhirnya bila melihat keadaan mak makin teruk...
Mak sakit perut sampai nak sentuh perut mak pon sakit
Kami adik beradik sepakat hantar juga mak ke hospital...

Mak...
Ampunkan kami semua...
Kami nak mak sehat...
Kami sayang mak...
Kami tak mau mak sakit...
Kami terpaksa juga hantar mak ke hospital...
Ampunkan kami yer mak...

Mak... Malam itu abang bawa mak ke hospital
Dan itu lah pertama dan terakhir kali mak naik kereta kiter...
Masih terbayang betapa ceria dan gembiranya mak
Kiter kata nak beli kereta...
Mak asyik tanya ajer..
Cukup ker duit..
Kiter jawab pula...
Kalau tak cukup, mak kan banyak duit...
Mak gelak ajerr...

Lepas tu bila kereta kiter sampai...
Mak buat kenduri kesyukuran...
Dan kiter masih ingat lagi...
Bila kiter eksiden terlanggar Ah-Chong naik motor...
Punya la kiter takut...
Kiter warning kakak kiter jangan sesekali bgtau kat mak...
Bila balik sahaja kampong...
Kiter cepat-cepat simpan keta dalam garaj...
Tapi mak perasan juga bumper depan kemek...
Mak tanya kenapa...?
Selamba jerr kiter jawab terlangar pokok bunga...

Mak...
Tujuan kiter menipu tu supaya mak tak risau...
Maafkan kiter kerana sampai mak pergi mak tak tau hal sebenar...
Mak, kiter menipu mak kan ...
Ampon kan kiter...

Mak...
Jam 4.30 pa gi 19 Ogos 2006
Bila tiba aja kat hospital...
Nurse tengah balut mak dengan kain putih...
Mak mesti nampak kiter jatuh terduduk di lantai hospital...
Mesti mak nampak abang cium dahi mak...
Mesti mak nampak akak baca doa untuk mak...
Mesti mak nampak adik terduduk kat kerusi kat sudut itu...
Mesti mak nampak semua tu kann... kann... kannn...

Mak tau tak...
Pagi tu balik dari hospital jam 5.20 pagi kiter mamandu dalam keadaan separuh sedar...
Adik kat sebelah diam melayan perasann...
Kenangan bersama mak berputar dalam kepala ini...
Jalan di depan terasa makin kelam...
Airmata dah tak mampu di tahan...
Masa tu seandainya apa-apa terjadi di jalan itu kiter rela...
Namun alhamdulillah akhirnya kiter sampai juga...
Di sebab kan pagi masih awal, jadi jalan tu lenggang..
Kosong...sekosong hati ini...
Sepanjang perjalanan terasa kedinginan subuh itu lain benar suasananya...
Terasa syahdu dan sayu...dinginnnn...

Mak...
Kiter masih ingat lagi...
Kiter baca AlQuran kat tepi mak temankan mak...
Jam 11.00 pagi mak di mandi kan ...
Anak2 mak yang pangku masa mak mandi...
Mak mesti rasa betapa lembut nya kami mengosok seluruh tubuh mak...
Kiter gosok kaki mak perlahan lahan...
Mak perasan tak...?

Makcik yang mandikan mak tu pujuk kiter...
Dia kata... "dikk...jangan nangis... kalau sayang mak jangan buat gitu... jangan nangis ya.."
Bila makcik tu kata gitu...
Lagi laaaa... laju airmata ni..
Tapi kiter kawal supaya tak menitik atas mak...

Mak...
Sampai takat ini surat ni kiter tulis...
kiter nangis ni...
Ni kat dlm bilik...baru pukul 4.00 pagi...
Takder orang yang bangun lagi...
Kiter dengar nasyid tajuk "anak soleh" kiter sedih...
Kiter rindu kat mak..!
Takpa la...
Nanti bila kita selesai sembanyang subuh,
Kiter baca yassin untuk mak...
Mak tunggu ya..!

Mak..
Sebelum muka mak di tutup buat selamanya...
Semua anak-anak mak mengelilingi mak...
Menatap wajah mak buat kali terakhir...
Semua orang kata mak seolah-olah senyum aja...
Mak rasa tak...
Masa tu kiter sentuh dahi mak...
Kiter rasa sejukkkk sangat dahi makk...
Kiter tak mampu nak cium mak...
Kiter tak daya...
Kiter tuliskan kalimah tauhid kat dahi mak dengan air mawar...
Airmata kiter tak boleh tahan...
Mak mesti ingat kan yang anak mak ni jadi imam solat jenazah untuk mak...
Tapi kite suruh tok imam bacakan doa sebab kite sebak...

Jam 12 tengahari mak diusung keluar dari rumah...
Akak pula dah terkulai dlm pelukan makcik...
Badan akak terasa panas...
Makk...
Anak mak yang seorang tu demam...

Mak tauu...
Cuma akak sorang saja anak mak yang tak mengiringi mak ke tanah perkuburan.. .

Mak... Hari-hari ku lalui tanpa kewujudan mak lagi...
Begitu terasa kehilangan mak...
Boleh kata setiap malam selepas maghrib anak mak ini berendam airmata...
Dan sampai satu tahap...
Masa tu malam jumaat selepas maghrib...
Selepas kiter baca yassin ngan kawan-kawan...
Entah kenapa biler kat bilik kiter keluarkan gambar-gambar mak pastu apa lagi...
Semakin kiter tenung terasa semakin sayu...
Tangisan tak dapat dibendung...

Mak tauu...
Kiter cuba bertahan...
Memujuk diri sendiri tapi tak juga reda...
Kiter rasa nak telefon mak...
Nak cakap dengan mak...
Anak mak yang ni dah tak betul kan ...????
Dan akhirnya dalam sedu sedan itu kiter telefon kampong...
Kiter cakap dengan kakak..kiter nangis lagi...
Puas la kakak memujuk kiter...
Akak kata... "tak baik laa nangis aje.. doa lah untuk mak.."
Dan akhirnya akak juga nangis...

Mak tau tak..
Di saat itu kerinduan terasa menusuk sehingga ke hulu hati...
Rasa nyilu sangat...
Menusuk-nusuk sehingga terasa begitu sakit dalam dada ni...
Sampai sekarang bila kerinduan itu menjelma...
Hanya sedekah al-fatihah kiter berikan...

Mak...
Cukup la sampai sini dulu...
Kawan kiter dah ketuk pintu bilik tu...
Kejap lagi kami nak pergi solat subuh kat masjid...
Selalunya, kiter yang bawak mak naik motor kan ...
Kali ni kiter jalan kaki dengan kawan pulak...
Esok kiter ingat nak tulis surat kat ayah pula...
Mula-mula kiter tak tau nak hantar mana surat nih...
Pastu kawan kiter bgtau...
Simpan je buat kenangan..
Kiter cuma tau alamat ni aje...
Takper yer mak...k
Kiter kasi orang lain baca...
Kiter stop dulu...
sebab kawan kiter dah lama tunggu tu...
akhir kata untuk mak
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH
Dan jutaan terima kasih kerana membesarkan kiter...
Memberi seluruh kasih sayang dari kecil sampai masuk sekolah..
Sampai masuk universiti..
Sampai kiter boleh rase naik kapal terbang...
Boleh rasa duduk kat negara orang... sampai akhir hayat ini jasa mak tak akan mampu kiter balas..

Sekian terima kasih,
Yang Benar Anak mak yang dah tak degil

p/s : people cries not because of being weak, but because they've been strength for quite some time ;( 

Just for laugh

People nowadays loves to use short form for texting especially the teenagers.
But not everyone knows what all of these words means. Do your parents know what these mean? Does your sms provider even know what half of these mean?

So, here i would like to share some of the words so that afterwards, we manage to understand the texting dictionary. It's a new thing to some people,right? hehe. Okay, here are some of the common and the uncommon words.

Tips for Study Smart

 

I believe that students have problems on how to study. So do I. So that, here i had goggled and found some of the tips to share with the readers. Here, i listed 5 tips on how to study smart.

1. Build a large foundation.  Try to read lots and having a general understanding of many topics to gives you a lot more flexibility in finding the patterns and metaphors in new topics. The more you already know, the easier it is to learn.
2.  Teach it. Teach someone who doesn't understand the topic. Spending five minutes explaining a concept can save you an hour of combined studying for the same effect.
3. Don't force. Don't spend so much time studying before exams. Forcing information during the last few days is incredibly inefficent. Instead, try to slowly interlink ideas as they come to you so studying becomes a quick recap rather than a first attempt at learning.
4. Make short note. Havingly a beatiful notes and a perfect highlighted textbook doesn't matter if you don't understand the information in it. Don't be afraid to get messy when scrawling out ideas on paper and try connecting them in your head.
   
5. Use all your senses. Abstract ideas are difficult to memorize because they are far removed from our senses. Shift them closer by coming up with vivid pictures,feelings and images that relate information together.

Have a try, friends! Hopefully with the tips given, we manage to study smart rather than study hard. I wish you all the best of luck ;)

Book review

 

Basically, i don't read novels. But exception for this Sophie Kinsella's novel.

What's so special about this cutie pie is, the character itself namely, Rebecca Bloomwood.

Let me share the synopsis first.

Confessions of a shopaholic is about Rebecca Bloomwood or also named as Becky, who lives in one of the London's trendiest neighborhood, have a troupe of glamorous socialite friends and have a closet brimming with the season's must-haves. The only trouble is, she can't actually afford it- any of it.

Her job at Successful saving magazine as a financial journalist doesn't pay much at all.

And the conflict started when, she's been chased by dismal letters from Visa and the Endwich Bank-letters with large red sums. She tries cutting back and even tries to making more money, but none of her effort succeeds. Finally, a story arises that Becky cares about, and her front-page article catalyzes a chain of events that will transform her life-and the lives those around her,forever.

What should i said about this hillarious novel is, i do started to realize that yeah, it is so true that people who love to shopped a lot, somewhere somehow, they need to shop only what they need, not what they want. Or else, they will facing troubles just like Becky. Beside that, as on economic, we learned that, humans have unlimited wants in their lives.
 So that means, we just couldn't fullfill it all. 

I recommended people who love to read, or to shopped a lot, to try this book. I believe, you won't regret.Plus, actually, i adore Becky's talent in writing. Eventhough she is only a human-created character, i wish one day, i could be just like her. Not being a shopaholic type like her, but being a great writer. So that, i could share with the world what i feel. 

Here are some praise for the Shopaholic novels: -

"Perfect for anyone wishing that bank statements came in more colours than just black and red."- THE MIRROR (LONDON)

"This book is an indulgance that's definitely worth every penny. "  -NEW WOMAN (LONDON)
