You are 9

friday 4Zulhijjah 1428H = 14december 2007 @ 909am



my dear son

14dec 1998, you were born.

It was 9 years ago...at 655am.

at 1200midnight, my h/p alerts me of your birthday and i softly wished

you "happy birthday, i love you so much, you are the best thing happened

in my life".


now that you are gone...


memories,,,

son, i held you in my arms for only 8years and 9months

13september 2007 = 1Ramadhan 1428H, you left me.

we'd just came back from our surau after our tarawih prayers.


so many times i dream of you...i hugged you, held you tightly, kissed and smelled,

but when i'm awake, you are not there.

it wasn't easy letting you go...it wasn't easy moving on.

my life stops there.

i still see you as an 8year old.

when you turn 9 today...

how do you look today...

what are the words will you say to me today...

where do we celebrate your birthday today...

do you have the voice that i'm used to hear...

there are so many questions running, and i don't have a clue.

i still bear some regret for the things that i couldn't fulfill

or that i delayed it.

you wanted to see the dragon dance when we were going home after

your taekwondo

i remembered saying "they haven't started, let's go home and we come back later"

at home, you had your ice-cream and sometime later you gave me a card

.........

i laughed at what was written, and taking it for granted

and whenever i see any such performance, that memory comes back.

when you asked me to take you to the "eye of malaysia", i said "later",
"next time" or "we go during school holidays" or "we go together with your sister".

doesn't my heart breaks whenever i passed by that area?

marrakech

mon 23Zulkaedah 1428H @ 1215hrs

marrakech...a place in morocco, was featured on the discovery travel
channel on the cable tv last weekend.
watched it first, by accident while changing the channels during advert.
didnt pay much attention
and again, i saw it on sunday night and watched it till end.
...like the design of their houses, by the hill-slopes
i think i like the food too.
yes the showcase titled as "bizarre food"
want to go there...

username(s)

fri 20Zulkaedah 1428H

what prompted me to have my own blog! nice reading others, and
why not have mine...
so the urge of doing so, today...since few hours ago, get me stucked
with the username.
being not-so-artistic person, very hard for me to get something
that's catchy.
typed one, cant get thru, then another...failed,
3rd attempt...had to look out in the newspaper
then made a phone call to a dear friend,
we talked, and who knows i might land with the username
and hit the keyboard few times with his suggestions
still unlucky, though
after that phone call, got a call relating to work
what a coincidence, the caller shares same name with my friend
also, same name as my 1st bro-in-law...

ohhh i knew 3 men with similar names

suddenly, the word 'tranquerrah" pops in...
why tranquerrah, or in my mother-tongue, we say "tengkera"
few days ago, in the same newspaper
this word was named as a restaurant
and there was a write-up

i have fond memories of tranquerrah...
