Erti Merdeka - di mata anak-anak ku

Cerita setahun lalu disini ...

Cerita tahun ini ... 31 Ogos 2006 .



Uqbah (3+ tahun) :
Mak : Uqbah ... merdeka tu apa ?
Uqbah : melldeka melldeka melldeka (sambil berlari-lari keliling ruang tamu dengan sebelah tangan terangkat)





Aziz (6+ tahun)
Mak : Merdeka tu apa dik ?
Aziz : Merdeka tu dia ada 14 jalur merah dengan putih. Mak tau tak putih tu kenapa ?
Mak : Putih ... putih tak cukup pensil warna
Aziz : Cikgu kata putih tu suci
Aziz : Ayah kenapa ayah tak pasang bendera kat kereta ?
Ayah : Sebab Mak tak beli.
Aziz : Kalau merdeka kita buat benda sendiri, tak payah tunggu Mak beli.





Abdul Rahman a.k.a Aman (8+tahun)
Mak : Apa Merdeka tu Aman ?
Aman : Kemajuan negara.
Aman : Cikgu cakap pasal Merdeka kat sekolah semalam.
Mak : Ooohh apa merdeka tu ?
Aman : Merdeka tu ... dulu orang Jepun serang kita.
Mak : Kenapa ?
Aman : Dia nak suruh kita dengar cakap dia. Lepas tu orang putih datang. Lepas tu Tengku Abdul Rahman, yang namanya macam nama Aman tu, pergi naik kapal. Dia bincang-bincang, lepas tu kita dapat Merdeka.



Azfar (10+ tahun)
Mak : Bang, merdeka tu apa ?
Azfar : Macam yang abang buat kat sekolah tu pakai komputer. Ada warna merah, putih, kuning, biru. Yang jalur senang je nak buat. Yang bintang susah sikit.

Pantun Merdeka 1 , Pautan Syair Merdeka 2 ...

31st July 2006

Today is the day , that is yet another major milestone in my working chapters.

My 2 friends, who happen to be my ONLY staffs, are leaving the M** under the Separation Scheme.

So what does this mean to me ?
Food wise - eat eat eat !!! We hv series of farewells (read eat-eat) in the last 5 days. The group farewell at Paya Serai, then I** Durian & Rambutan feast, then The Division farewell with really good Thai Food on Friday. And this morning, the office Nasi Dagang & Cake eat-eat.
Personally, for them, I am happy and wish them all the best. Yes RMMMM (and lots of RM) does not guarantee happiness, but RMMMM (and lots of RM) does give room to pursue other interests in life. And it does give room for some "peace of mind".
And there are opportunities if they want to pursue other careers, within the same line or different line.

Work wise ---- I will be the one doing the 3 persons job, with the help of one contract staff. So what will that mean to me .... ha ha ha ... ask me in a month time.



Oh well ... wish me luck ... and I think I better start my "ganti puasa" .

Crystal Sabah Love For RTAR@TI

My virtual friend, Taty is selling Crystal Sabah.
She is pledging for every buy a portion will be donated to Rumah Titian Ashraful Rohaniah Teluk Intan (RTAR@TI).
Why is she passionate about RTAR @ TI ?

Apparently Taty's family is from Teluk Intan. Taty is now in Sabah following her husband. Taty is still interested to extend her helping hand to RTAR @ TI eventhough she is kilometers away. And walla walla she has very good craft skill and she put it to good use by designing such beautiful accessories. And her kind heart make it possible for her to allocate a portion of the sale proceed to RTAR @ TI.

Farah, Opah dan RTAR@TI

Farah, 5 tahun, adalah salah seorang penghuni RTAR di Teluk Intan, Perak. Al-kisahnya, Farah diserahkan oleh ibu dan ayahnya, (atas sebab-sebab yang tidak di ketahui) semasa berumur beberapa bulan, kepada pasangan Kak Ana dan Abang Ajis. Sehingga kini, Farah dibesarkan di kalangan penghuni RTAR.

Apakah tugas Farah pada waktu makan ?




Nenek berbaju merah itu dipanggil Opah oleh Farah, walaupun sebenarnya mereka berdua tiada pertalian darah. Mata Opah tidak dapat melihat. Opah bergerak mengengsut dibantu oleh tangan. Farah akan menyuap Opah setiap waktu makan. Mereka berdua tiada ikatan darah, cuma takdir menemukan mereka di RTAR.

RTAR dulunya di kenali sebagai Rumah Amal Hashimiah di Kuala Selangor. RTAR menempatkan warga emas dan juga kanak-kanak istimewa yang yatim, miskin ataupun tidak "dikehendaki" oleh keluarga mereka. Sejak awal tahun 2006, mereka telah berpindah ke Teluk Intan. Sebab musababnya saya sendiri kurang arif.

RALK1

Charity .... even with a trifle

Fellow wonderful readers ,

I have been in touch with Rumah Amal Limpahan Kasih @ Puchong . In Dec 05, I went there with my family to send over some contribution (collected from friends and neighbours) to help them for the school openings. I wrote a short write-up and email it to my neighbours and friends who further forward the email to their friends. Many more helping hands reach RALK. The simple act of writing a simple write-up and the use of techology supported by the kind hearts of neighbours and friends DO MAKE THING HAPPEN. Now they have adequate furniture and beds for their daily use. Thank you very much indeed.

Last 2 weeks, I had another opportunity to visit RALK with my bestest friend, Elin and her daughter. Here is some update on RALK for your reading pleasure.

RALK is founded by Puan Rabaah (the blue head scarf lady) and her husband En Zawawi (not in the picture). The children under their care are orphans or children from poor families. They have 2 helpers Kak As (with the pink head scarf) and another kakak.

Currently there are about 16 kids from age 6 - 15. They are in the process of establishing a permanent place at Kg Sri Aman, Puchong. In the mean time while soliciting for donors, they are renting 2 houses in Bandar Bukit Puchong2. One for the girls and another one for the boys.

We went there to send 20 sets of bed sheets (courtesy of my M*S & I*M friends)

The new green bed sheets do brighten the room ...kan kan kan ...

As well as 15 bright-colored towels gift from a friend, Teacher Shafinaz.


To all my friends who contributed to help my visit to RALK more meaningful, Thank You Very Much. May Allah bless your kind deeds .

I am merely doing the despatch job :)

As of today this is the list of things that you can further contribute (not limited to this list though) :

a) vacuum

b) toileteries

c) barangan dapur (kicap, sos, ikan bilis, kentang, garam, rempah etc)

d) clothes for the children (age 6-15 yrs)

e) time to do reading sessions

f) cash for the daily expenses

g) stationaries

h) .................

To those who wish to contribute to RALK, in deeds or cash or anything, do contact Puan Rabaah/ En Zawawi at 019-2227339 / 03-80601770 .
