reading into Life of Pi
Currently, I am reading Life of Pi.
You may be forgiven if you express, “what? Again?”
if you had remembered that I first mentioned about Life of Pi sometime last month, during the fasting month kot..
Well, I am still into it. Which means I have yet to
finish and to be precise, I stopped at page 229 just now before maghrib. Another
200 pages to go in order to finish the story. Most probably this is one of the
longest times I have taken to finish up a novel. No, don’t get me wrong. The story
is as interesting as you can imagine, way better than the movie, but perhaps
the details of the story, written from the 1st person view, can be
quite taxing, if I may say so. The writer @ narrator, in relating his
experiences, dwells about his feelings, his thoughts. It’s taxing because I can’t
help but to sail deep into my realm of thoughts and feelings as well. Every time
I read the novel, after a few pages, the idea of the story connects to me, or
should I say, I connect to the story in my own kingdom of life.
For now, I am still reading it, and reading into it..
The sea, inches beneath me yet to far to see.. page 208
God who is
within and beyond and surround,
Who is so near, yet the darkness of the heart
Veils us from seeing
Him..
The ocean was a smooth skin, reflecting the light
With a million mirrors.. page 212
God shows Himself Majestically in millions of
Instances yet unnoticeable by the mortal eyes
What a shame!
Layan..
I wrote this for you
"Oh shut up. Every time it
rains, it stops raining. Every time you hurt, you heal. After darkness, there
is always light and you get reminded of this every morning but still you choose
to believe that the night will last forever. Nothing lasts forever. Not the
good or the bad. So you might as well smile while you’re here."

he: Everything’s in red!
me: Yeah, I know!

kalau kau tahu
Bunga-bunga yang
berkembang itu rezeki,
Bunga-bunga yang
meluruh memenuhi rerumputan
Itu juga rezeki,
Kalau kau tahu..
Apatah lagi nafas yang
kau sedut
Beribu-ribu kali sehari,
Pelbagai bentuk rupa
warna-warni
Yang kau saksi,
Semuanya rezeki,
Kalau kau tahu..
Rasa di mulut,
Rasa di tangan,
Rasa di hati,
Rasa di seluruh
Anggota ini,
Tak pernah putus rezeki,
Kalau kau tahu..
Hujan panas,
Siang malam,
Silih berganti,
Mata memandang,
Telinga mendengar,
Mulut berbicara,
Limpahan rezeki,
Kalau kau tahu..
Yang cantik buruk,
Yang senang susah,
Yang sihat sakit,
Yang kaya miskin,
Rezeki terperi,
Kalau kau tahu..
Bila mati menjemput
diri,
Itu baru takde dah
rezeki,
Kalau kau tahu..

the unbecoming of Mesir
it's a coup. as simple as that, against an islamic government chosen by the majority (unlike my beloved malaysia).

last days puasa
Last days puasa
Minggu lepas kiranya last week of
school la before the holiday.. isnin slasa rabu kelas macam biasa je.. tp masuk
hari khamis budak form 1, 2, 4 seme kena pegi dengo ceramah kt surau.. gua
ngajo form 4 n 5.. tp masuk je jumaat mmg tak ngajo langsung.. pagi tu
perhimpunan punya la lama, mana lagi dengan penyampaian hadiah nya, ucapan gitu
gini, sampai naik kematu ponggong, gua cakap lu.. akhirnya, dekat pukul 10 bru
habis assembly. Peh.. tak tahan..
Petang jumaat tu, pegi beli barang2
dapur n pelbagai lagi sebelum nk raya ni.. mujur la untuk anak2 dh settle
sebelum puasa hari tu lg.. jadi, tak la banyak kerenah nak berpusu2 dgn manusia
kat shopping complex dan supermarket ni.. malam pas trawih seronok je, sebab
esuk2nya tak sekolah dh.. cuti dua minggu, da.. tapi ada pulak kaum ode ikan
tilapia. Maka pukul 11 mlm gua pun cargas la ke sangkar ikan, sampai pukul 12,
menyauk dari 1 pagi sampai 2steng, pukul 3 cargas gerak balik, berhenti kt air
tawar pekena mee goring dgn the tarik, hantar ikan kt 3 tempat, by sahur ngam2
chi ro sampai rumah.. pas sahur, mandi, solat subuh je, 6steng terlena
akhirnya.. tapi jam 8 dh time to cargas dh..
Sabtu pagi, waktu yang dinantikan
sebab nak pegi pekan sabtu kt bt10. Sebabnya ramai kaum dh balik kg dari serata
Malaysia, jadi, pagi tu boleh le jumpa.. lagipun last Saturday of ramadhan
memang meriah peniaga jual brg2 yg pelbagai.. harga jangan cite la, msti boleh
adjust punya..
Pas habis kisah pekan sabtu tu, lbh
kurang jam 11 gua pun gerak ke teluk intan, pastu ke parit untuk ngutip duit kat ram sawit.. kiranya duit raya la.. : ) dari teluk
intan nak ke parit lalu area kampung je all the way.. memang picturesque, gua
cakap lu.. especially bila lalu kg gajah – lambor kanan – bota kanan – parit. Rumah2
kampung lamanya, peh, memang terbaek.. gua cukup suka lalu area macam gini. Mana
lagi dengan sunyi nya, bersih, green, jalan pun tak sibuk.. last2 pkl 3 jugak
la sampai rumah..
Petang tu kononnya belanja deme
(read: anak2 n missus le) makan kt restoran yemen di manjung ni. Kaum cite
nasinya dengan kambing mendy dan lain2 racun.. jadi, gua pun layan la..
conclusionnya: boleh laa, tapi klu di beri pilihan, ia tak la dok kt no 1..
malam je macam biasa sebelum terawih layan nia main bunga api n mercun pop2
dia. Anak gua, beb..
Sunday gua memang bawak bertenang..
iye la, mana tak penatnya dari jumaat malam sampai la malam tadi cargas tak
henti2, kan.. layan.. baca kitab, layan
video, malam terawih dengan anak2, pastu makan2 sikit, by 11 lena dh..
Semalam, cargas balik dh.. pagi
hantar nia ke sekolah, basuh bmw missus, pukul 10 dah keluar manjung dengan
missus. Pegi fotostat kitab, nak beli meja kecik dapat meja dgn set bangku
pulak dh, pastu buat kredit baru kt skomk layan beli mesin basuh dan dapur +
oven, (semua tu missus gua nak, k..bukan gua, k..)pegi beli no baru kat celcom,
singgah beli tikar getah, bateri, kipas stand lagi, otw balik beli racun untuk
kebun pulak.. celah2 tu amik nia. Petang jam 4 beli lauk standby raya nanti takde ikan.. last2 gedebak gedebuk sudahnya
keluar masuk rumah pukul 7suku kat maghrib baru la boleh bertenang. Malam ingat
nak tido la awal, dan memang tido awal pun, tapi pukul satu terjaga sebab nabil
demam pulak.. adoyai.. jenuh jugak gua dengan missus gilir tengukkan dia sampai
subuh.. nabil kalau demam memang brutal, beb.. sampai 38.6 temperature dia mlm
tadi. Risau gua.. dulu sekali kena dok hospital seminggu, beb. Demam je tu..
yang jadi mangsanya gua la, sebab kena teman dia, kan.. anak gua, beb..
Pagi tadi bagi dia makan ubat lagi,
pastu gua buat ubat kampong: beras pulut + asam jawa + pegaga + air ramas2 sapu
atas kepala.. harap2 mujarab la, insyaAllah. Bukan apa lusa nak raya, jap lagi
patutnya nak balik rumah mem bos gua kt pj.. ni pun gua nak cargas lagi.. dah dekat
tengahari, kan..
Okay la, lain kali nyembang, kalau
ada rezki, jumpa lagi. insyaAllah. Finally maaf zahir batin.
Selamat!
