As the earth spins quicker than its usual rate 50 years or so ago, so does time.Byk sgt benda mengarut lately.Paling mengarut budget 2014. Not only that, segala benda nak kasi org putih pegang.I hv ntg against org putih but when it comes to national security, national integrity, this is where I draw the line between embracing globalisation and broad daylight imperialism/modern day colonisation.Walaupun byk benda I tak setuju with Tun Mahathir, his effort to bring us out of our colonised minds is stg I treasure and respect.Penat je dia menghabiskan duit kita buat twin towers, airport yg besar, itu ini...agar we take pride in ourselves..we can rule, we can manage our own affairs..aleh2 pemimpin2 silver spoons ni (termasuk la KJ tu) senang2 je nak serah itu ini to org luar.Org kita ada, buat mcm kucing kurap (dah Spore dah ambik) etc etc.
Anyway, while lots are being sold off, life continues till they get us...
My students at the prison are picking up well their writing class. Terang hati betul mereka ni. But Hanif Kureishi thinks teaching creative writing is a waste of time..you can teach the craft but not everyone can write a story.I'd say give everyone a fair share of learning.We'll judge later.What is a great story anyway.Methinks writers need great editors and great marketeers.
I organised a surprise bday party for Nik at 10 pm semlm with my in laws. Nadra and Nazeer could not come cos' Nadra meragam but the rest came.Kak Mutik and hubby and Kak Yah pun dtg.Nik betul2 terkejut..balik penat on a Budget Day (on standby nak jwb reporters with his ceo)... balik he was given mee tok wan aje for dinner (tulang daging korban) then we brought him his cake.Sebelum tu suami Kak Mutik masuk2 je dah ckp happy bday.I had to mouth him no don't say anything.Haha.Almost rosak.
Topic of the day was Kak Yah (who has been living with the family for the last 37 years or so.Kak Yah is my father in law's niece but she has stunted growth and came to live with the uncle to help out with the household since she was 17). She took care of not only Faisal and Lina but their kids, mine (when we were in between maids) and Rose's kids (on and off).So she's really close to everyone.And she sees Mama's home as her home too.Baru2 ni she fell down.Pi chk takda apa but she mcm kemamar.She went bck to Kelantan for raya haji and got worsened.Tak ingat adik beradik sendiri.So her younger sister,Mutik said they would look after her now and tak pyh balik KL lagi.
But semlm Kak Mutik sent her back cos' Kak Yah homesick (dia dah tak boleh sesuaikan diri di Kelantan.Her home is here).Nik and siblings ckp we'll take care of her..chipping in to pay for her hospital bills etc.We owe her that much.Semoga Allah berkati Kak Yah dan ingatannya pulih semula.The funny thing is she tak ingat her siblings but bila tanya ni siapa of Nik, she quickly answered Nikky Dee (Nik's fun name at home).Ros jadi Nikky Ros (now...that is new).Kesian Kak Yah.
The story of one of my neighbours continues.Another kes kesian.Bibik suspects she's the second wife yg telah diceraikan without proper nafkah.Hadoi...so sadlah.How can any man jadi begini irresponsible? I think her sanity is slowly slipping away but she won't talk to anyone (except my maid cos' my maid ni nosy sikit..suka tanya itu ini).She said she's related to all the sultans in Johor,Melaka, Maluku, Borneo.And yet the house owner said she had not paid her rent for 3 months.My point of sharing the story with you is this: how can we assist? Whenever we could, we'd give the kids whatever food we can..lebih2 pun takut kena sergah...maklum kerabat, kan? We don't know how to handle this really.Dulu I thought kalu nak sombong (Bibik said she said she didn't want to mingle with org biasa cos dia dari keturunan bangsawan) two can do it...but after hearing stories frm Bibik,I think she needs all the support she can.If I can't be nice,I must not be mean to her.Masa Bibik agih2kan daging korban terlebih dulu, she was so grateful kata Bibik.She said her kids kata sedap
daging tu...ada lagi ke.Kesiannya...I wish there is a centre to assist women in her position.
Hai folks, dugaan saya sgt besar...silap langkah..besar durhakanya kpd Allah dan sesama manusia.
Let's see happier moments: today Nik and I lunching at Westin (Z's bday gift for her dad...booked online all the way from Sheffield.How sweet, kan? Alhamdulillahlah)
