birthday..

salam.
just got back from my parents place in pj. today's bak's birthday. he's 80, beb! not as strong as before, but his mind is still alert and very much alive with the happenings around him.
Allah has given bak a long and wonderful life, albeit some incidents yang agak menyedihkan dalam hidupnya. but he has taken everything in his stride..
meriah jugak beb, bila balik dan berkumpul ramai-ramai. all my siblings were there, all seven of us, plus nephews, nieces, and cucu-cucu sedara. it was a pot luck session, although the earlier plan was to have a bbq. xpe la, next time pulak kot..
last week was mak's birthday. she's 75. mak is still ok. makan terlalu lalu, : - ) , segalanya membuka seleranya, tu yg boleh tahan 'berisi' badannya, hanya sakit lutut tak leh nak buat apa dah kot.. kena dengan berat badan yg terlebih dan exercise yg kurang, dont think the ache in her knee will ever disappear. one thing that is rather worrying about mak is that since a couple of years ago, she finds it hard to fall asleep at nite. sometimes it lasts until dawn, barulah ngantuk. sabar je la mak. nak buat macam mana. zikrullah dan selawat je la byk2.

bak dan mak yang sangat ku cintai,
doa anakmu pasti meniti dibibir setiap hari,
apatah lagi di hati senantiasa mengingati,
semakin ku berusia, semakin ku menyedari,
tiada kasih sejati di dunia ini,
melainkan kasih bak dan mak yang tak pernah henti-henti....

maafkan anakmu yang terlalu,
menyakiti hatimu dalam segala sesuatu,
suatu tika dahulu, tika jiwa kacau,
tika jiwa nanar, tika jiwa lara,
tika jiwa gelora....

maaf zahir batin bak n mak.
