A Message by George Carlin (comedian of the 70's and 80's) :

" The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways , but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less,we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much,love too seldom, and hate too often.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill.

It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete...

Remember, spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.

Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.

Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.

Remember, to say, 'I love you' to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.

Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER :

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away."

Kucaiku

Tuaian pertama pokok kucaiku. Inilah hasil kucai yang disemai oleh abah dan mak (2 pasu kecil) dan aku satukan dalam satu pasu besar sikit supaya senang pokok kucai nie nak membesarkan diri.

Niat di hati, nak gorengkan kue tiew bersama sikit taugeh dan kerang. Ataupun buat cucuq bawang/ikan bilis (faiz alergik dgn udang), cicah dgn sos cili di waktu petang2. Memang sedap.

My FIL loves kucai so much, sampaikan my MIL masa mula2 kahwin dulu, hari2 makan sayur kucai sampai dia menyampah dah dgn kucai. Baru tau yang kucai ini menarik lalat datang berterbangan.

Kat rumah di Penang, mak semai 4 pasu besar kucai. subur giler. Yang bestnya, bila nak guna kucai, just potong dan masak, convienient kan? I love the idea of planting our own vegetables. Convienient and cheap. i've just planted ladys finger @ okra. Wait and see.

Gambar last year sebelum diserang oleh lalang.

Let me see, i've already planted a few vegetables. Sikit jer, Pandan, serai, pokok limau purut, pokok kari, pokok lengkuas, kucai and latest bendi. Banyaknyer lalang lagi. Last weekend, neighbour dah berjaya mengerjakan laman belakangnye, dah clear lalang. Ish.. tercabar nie. Nak cari cangkul plak sebab lalang nie degil, kena buang dgn akar. Kalau tak perjuangan yang sia-sia gamaknya.

D.A.T.E

Today is my birthday. Three-One actually. Happy Birthday to me.

At this time (7.30 am to be exact), no body wishes me, even my hubby. Emm, i miss my late abah. He's the one, who will sms or call me, around 7 - 7.15 am on my birth date.

Not this time.

Usually he'll be the first person to wish me.

But not this time.

I miss my abah very badly. This morning while driving to work, I recited a few times of Surah AlFatihah and sedekahkan kepada abah, just to relieve my sadness, my rindu to him, of wanting to hear his voice wishing me 'Happy Birthday Ana'.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Updated :

Mak called me at 8 am and wish me 'Happy Birthday', I'm happy already. See, there's always someone remember my birthday (because i always set Birthday Reminder on their hp hehehehe). Sayang mak.

Hopefully our New Family Hobby

Adik Faiz's Royal Throne. Duduk jer sambil gelakkan abang dia. Keh keh keh

"Okoman" muiz posing with his 'new' ride and safety gears.

Ayah's bike attached with Faiz's Carriage. My bike (yellow one) with Basket as Family's Bellgirl (tukang angkut). And Muiz's bike with spanky 'new Loceng'.

Jeng jeng jeng

Tadika Muiz ada Hari Penyerahan Report Card kepada Family, which is on 8/7/08. Aku yang excited terlebih.

Bila tanya usatazah apa yang diuji, rupanya hafazan doa dan surah.

Abah dan muiz masa raya Tahun 2006

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Al-Fatihah

I've read it somewhere :

Kita hanya berpeluang mendidik anak sekali sahaja...

sementara mereka masih bersama kita.

Yup, its true enough for me.

My Mak

Meet my Mak, my pillar of strength. Sebelum nie aku jarang bergambar dgn mak,
so i'm trying my best to be a GOOD daughter to her. My father's deadth does open my eyes to certain matters in my life, which i take for granted before.

My mom and my son while waiting for me settling my father's file at LHDN Penang last Friday. They went to Fort Cornwallis and have a blast time there. Siap kena saman parking lebih masa hehehehe

Adik faiz tolong aku angkat baju yang dah kering which i bundle-up into small bundles. I asked him to put on the sofa, instead he neatly arranged it on the floor. Quite a cheeky young man :D

--------------------------------------

On the other note - Hari nie dah 35 hari abah pulang ke Rahmatullah.
