Nourah Hilang!

Yesterday was Good Friday. Since Singapore cuti, my sister, kak Fau yang duduk kat Singapore balik KL.

So, semalam dia kata nak bawa anak-anak dia pergi Petrosains kat KLCC, dia ajak Nourah sekali. Of course lah Nourah was happily agree to join.

Yang pergi was kak Fau, her two sons, Ika and Nourah. I didn’t follow because… well I’m still on my pantang (kononnya. lol).

You know… I have this bad habit of always thinking something bad will happen.

Macam selalu berfikiran negative lah. Sometimes melampau juga lah fikiran tu. Well, I like to say that I am extra careful. :P

Whenever Nourah keluar with anyone other than my husband or I, mesti paranoid semacam. Tapi since Nourah suka nak jalan-jalan especially with her cousins, kesian lah pula kalau tak bagi dia ikut kan. So, ok lah… I put all my bad thoughts away.

Keluar before 12pm after maghrib, baru lah diorang balik dari KLCC.

Diorang masuk bilik je suddenly my sister asked me, “Nad… tadi ada tak rasa something? Something like motherly instinct?”

Dalam hati I was like, kenapa pula kakak aku ni? Nervous kejap. Tapi still sengih-sengih tanya, “Kenapa? Apa yang dah terjadi?”

“Tadi Nourah hilang kejap.”

Ya Allah… tak tau nak rasa apa bila kakak cakap macam tu. But I’m pretty sure diorang pun lagi lah rasa gelabah bila dapat tau Nourah hilang.

So, kakak cerita bila found out Nourah tak ada, dia and Ika went separate ways cari Nourah. While Ika pergi every level, kakak pun terus cari security officer nak tanya kalau ada dapat report budak hilang. Tak ada.

Then kakak dengan security officer tu pergi ke concierge tanya kat sana pula kalau ada dapat report. Pun tak ada.

Bila kakak nak sambung cari, suddenly that security officer lari panggil kakak nak bagitau diorang baru dapat report ada jumpa budak.

Alhamdulillah, memang betul diorang jumpa Nourah. 

Ika tengok Nourah nangis pun dia nangis sekali. Dah la hilang kat KLCC dengan ramai foreigner lagi. Tapi kalau hilang kat Midvalley atau One Utama lagi lah boleh meraung mungkin. Those two were huuuuuge malls.

So sekarang ni, tengah fikir nak beli leash untuk Nourah ke tak. Well, kalau nak diikutkan pengalaman sendiri memang lately bila berjalan dengan Nourah dia suka wandering around sendiri. Tau-tau je dia jauh kat belakang, stop kat mana-mana kedai lah yang dia nampak menarik.

Risau tau tak! Sigh.

Cerita Tentang Rezeki

Growing up, I was never the brightest or the most successful child… well, in terms of academically. Compared to my sisters, I never went to boarding school, didn’t get straight As during exam or even good grades during my Uni years (haha)… both of my big sisters graduated with a Master and Phd and they are now secure with a good career… even the little sister is currently doing her Masters.

Honestly, I admit, I did feel down sometimes when I think about it. So, usually I don’t want to think about it. But when I do, I remind myself that Allah has better plan for me. Be patient. I know that I’d tried my best to be the child that my parents proud of… or even for me to be proud of myself. But come to think about it, my rizq is actually in another form.

Among my siblings, I am the one who is always around and near to my parents. 

When I was in primary school, ibu was admitted to the hospital for an operation. I can’t remember clearly why she was admitted, something happened to her eyes... but I did remember that I had to cook meals for ayah and my little brother and sister because my big sisters were in boarding school and college.

…

After my parents came back from hajj, ibu had high fever. I still can’t forget when ibu asked ayah to buy her bubur McD, instead ayah bought a packet of instant bubur Maggi. It’s funny when I think about it now. Hahahaha. 

Ibu asked ayah, “mana bubur?”

“Nadhira tengah masak”, ayah said.

“Hah? Masak apa?”

“Bubur maggi la…”

“Ibu kata bubur mcd la… mcdonald…”

Hahahaha… pity ibu. Ibu already hungry, had to wait some more.

…

There was one time when ibu accidentally fell down the stairs and broke her foot.

Again ibu was hospitalised and underwent operation. And when she came home, she can’t walk properly. Sebab tulang yang patah tu need some time untuk bersambung semula. Kalau salah langkah, takut misaligned.

At that time, luckily I just lived downstairs. Every day after I came back from work, I will spend some time at my parents’ house. 

(Now I still live nearby… same apartment area, but different block. Haha.)

...

Actually ibu had been through a couple of operations back then. Sampai satu hari masa jaga ibu, I said to myself. "InsyaAllah, selagi Nad mampu Nad akan jaga ibu..."

I guess that is one of the dua that Allah has granted.

...

So, whenever you feel that life doesn't go your way... just sit back for a moment and reflect. Rizq can be in any form. It's not always about making lots of money. The time that you spend with your loved ones, your health, having a peaceful life is also a rizq that we take for granted.

That's it for today. Till then.
Assalamualaikum. :)

Binatang Peliharaan Saya

Assalamualaikum,

Amboi... tajuk macam tajuk karangan sekolah rendah. Hahaha... korang ada tak haiwan peliharaan? Kalau tak ada pun, binatang apa yang korang teringin nak pelihara?

Hehehe. Selalunya, ramai yang pilih kucing sebagai haiwan peliharaan kan? Atau pun dipanggil pet lah senang sikit. Dulu saya pun suka sangat kucing dan teringin nak bela kucing as a pet. Tapi ibu tak kasi. Dia risau adik saya yang asma dan at that moment, saya ada eczema. Bila kena bulu kucing, gatal kulit. Huhu.

Garang garang nak pergi mana? Haha. (sumber: google)

Kakak saya pernah bela arnab dulu, lepas tu tak tau lari ke mana. Hilang macam tu je... atau mungkin kena makan ular sebab belakang rumah dulu hutan belukar. Pernah juga beberapa kali terserempak dengan ular dan biawak besar. Hahaha. Kitorang lepaskan arnab ni kat laman belakang rumah je. Ada pintu lama kat belakang rumah, dua - dua ekor ni selalu melepak belakang tu. Maybe dia rasa tu shelter dia kot.

Dua ekor lebih kurang macam ni lah warnanya. (sumber: google)

Lepas tu bela hamster dua ekor pula. Tapi tak lama juga sebab dua - dua mati kot. Ke hilang melarikan diri dan kena makan ular juga? Hehehe. Hamster ni best juga bela sebab kan kecil je, boleh biar dia jalan - jalan atas tangan kita. Paling comel bila tengok dia makan, sumbat kuaci dalam mulut. Hahaha. Lepas tu lari pusing - pusing kat wheel dia tu.

Kenapa montel sangat ni?... (sumber: google)

Pernah juga adik beli anak ayam. Satu masa dulu kan popular anak ayam macam - macam warna jual kat pasar malam tu. Kesian anak ayam kena spray tau. Tapi rasanya sama juga, tak lama lepas tu anak ayam mati. Sobsobsob... ye lah, nak bela ayam tapi takde ilmu nak jaga. Nak bagi makan apa, nak kena mandi ke tak? Ayam ni duduk dalam bilik pula tu. Macam mana lah diorang nak main kan?

Dah serupa cotton candy pun ada. (sumber: google)

Binatang last sekali yang kitorang pernah bela ialah kura - kura. Dari kecil yang bela dalam akuarium mini tu last - last jadi besar sangat kena letak dalam besen. Mana lah tak besar, makan kangkung banyak. Lepas tu besen letak dalam bilik air. Tau tak perasaan bila kura - kura keluar kepala bila kita dalam toilet? Hahahaha. -__-"

Kalau besar lagi ni, boleh duduk kot atas dia? (sumber: google)

Tu semua binatang yang kitorang pernah pelihara kat rumah lama, rumah teres. Sekarang bila pindah ke rumah apartment, pernah bela binatang kecil je iaitu ikan. Sebab on the way nak ke rumah kitorang, ada banyak kedai - kedai jual ikan. Tu yang saja - saja nak cuba bela ikan. Tapi macam biasa, yang hidup pasti akan mati. Tambah pula family saya jenis selalu berjalan. Memang innalillah lah bila ikan - ikan tu kena tinggal. Huhuhu.

Paling latest... sebenarnya tak sengaja pun nak bela binatang comel ni. Tiba - tiba je ada kat balcony rumah saya. Bila dua ke tiga hari tengok dia duduk diam, makan banyak dan semakin gemuk. Rasa macam seronok pula. Dah siap nak google dah cara hidup binatang ni. Tapi... tiba - tiba esok hari nya, hilang macam tu je. Tak ada tanda atau jejak yang ditinggalkan langsung... sedih kot. T___T

Ulat beluncas lepas di poko limau purut saya. Habis botak daun. Huhu

Kawan - kawan kata mungkin dia dah jadi rama - rama yang cantik. Tapi saya tak percaya sebab dia belum jadi kepompong lagi. Bukan sekejap kitaran hidup dia. Kakak saya kata, mungkin dah kena makan dengan burung sebab nampak gemuk dan sedap. Hmm... mungkin. Haha.

You will be missed ulat beluncas. Hihihi...
