Ayah Ku Kawin Lagi - Ayah Ku Pegi Aji.

It was over 40 years ago ayah decided to remarry again ending his single father status.Remember well the happy go lucky single father bringing up 3 tots children single handedly with a mere Risda clerk pay base on Suffian Report pay scheme.
Its something between $180 a month,I think.

Me,being the eldest to two other sisters was groom with no branded jeans except tailored made long pants by the perfect work of Hj.Manaf of 'AZAM TAILOR' and white shirts from Bee Loon ready made and the shops still at it presence humble beginning site at Lorong Bukit Cina but has expanded over the years all over the country mega mall.
Hj.Manaf has been my tailor since my wee lad days.
My first tailored suit for my England trip was hand made by 'Hj.Manaf The Tailor'.
Attire ethique was strictly observed by ayah.
Hair cream and body talcum powder a must.Off Raya morning with smartly polish Bata shoes goes along well with Hj.Manaf tailored trouses and the white shirt being reused again as my school shirt after Raya.

Suddenly,after joyeous yearly routine on Raya's with ayah,the daily bath personally by him in the morning before off to school,the morning dressing up,the dinner together with my single father stops abruptly and out off a sudden.
Ayah no longer at home with us.
We have to mend life to school all by ourself.
I was too young to understand why ayah left us suddenly.
However,ayah is always there sending us off to school in the morning and evening he will drop by after his daily dose of tennis game at the Bukit Baru Tennis Club but he no longer at home, reading the newspaper while we finishes our school home work.
His personnel home tution given to me on my weak subject also stop.

I was totally lost.
Seeing ayah morning and evening but he is not at home while we were asleep as he used to at night kept a 10 year lad puzzle,keeping together a 7 and 5 years sister together is another sodding tale.
Remember well,the day I confront him asking him why is he no longer with us at home.It was not a riddle but a straight question from a 10 year old lad

'......ayah,....ayah kahwin lagi ya!!!!!!!!!!

He was stunn by the question.
He didnt answer the question.
I presumed the answer was 'Yes',suddenly the pearl drops without invitation.

The rest was history.

May 2009 - 7 am

My usual wake up call at 6.30 am.
Normal morning routine procedure like any other morning.Nothing unusual.
Suddenly a call came in at 7am.It was ayah's voice.

I must say,very-very-very-very very rare and unusual for ayah to call his 3 children.Not only to me but both my sisters as well.
Not at 7 am.From my past experience,call that early only an emergency informing death of imediate members of the family.

I remembered his no normal greeting over the phone.
Not a commanding voice and ayah has never been a commanding father.
His advise to children will always begin with a field trip for Rojak and Satay Wak Temu with big glasses of Air Temu to go with ,right up front facing the famous 'A Famosa'.

After eating,straight into the car.
We will be in his old white VW bettle for his prep talk,park some where along,the Famosa or the front sea-side ,me glaring at the open sea of Strait of Malacca,somewhere over there is Sumatra.

My performance,my behavouir,my grade etc.etc.The normal fatherly advise.
Never ever my beloved father cane or shouted at me or shunn or humilate me in public despite me a mischievious lad myself.

Never Ever.

The phone call from ayah that morning stun me.Straight to the point informing me.

'.....'Will.....aku nak pegi Aji tahun ni.'

I was stun !!! the request coming from ayah.
I wanted to sujud sadah right away.

My simple answer was'.....ayah jangan kuatir...biar Mie uruskan.
Right away I was at Tabung Haji HQ,Ampang as the first customer of the day enquiring for my ayah haj trip.Deposited the required amount and total amount which we pool together to see ayah's trip to Haj.this year.

Waiting patiently over the month,the reply from TH management for his application status.Mind you,ayah does not even have a Tabung Haji account and we have to open one for him.Knowing fully well,ayah clerk pay package are all spend on his schooling age children,even though we do not live under one roof together.
All his children needs are well look after and care for.


Monday 28th Sept.2009 bersamaan 7 Shyawal.

Tabung Haji reply :
En.Jalius penerbangan Haji Tuan ialah pada 1 hb.Nov.2009.
Sila laporkan diri di Komplex Tabung Haji Kerana Jaya pada pukul 9 pagi.

I did the sujud saadah after reading the confirmation letter.

Terima Kasih Ya.Allah.

Akhir Sebuah Impian - Simply Classic

Well check up the whole film in youtube as well



Klassik.......seni itu milik semua.
Bukan milik persendirian.
Kami hargai interlectual property,daya creativitas dan kesempurnaan pembikinan.
Kami kagum.

It was 30 overs years I saw this classic film by Almarhum Benyamin S,late Broery Marantika and Emilia Countessa.Man....the Savoy cinema was pack full for the whole month.The music by Favariote Group remain evergreen. Simply classic for a Form 2 boys then. TV programme was still at it infancy. Love Farok Afero acting always the baddies character.His punch line ' jangan kau minta ubatnya dari aku !!! when his son Broery met an accident which causes Emelia blind.A nostalgic rerun for those in the fities.Those era of 'Casablanca' sort of movie.

Memory dulu kembali lagi
DiHari lebaran Adil Fitri
Bermaafan bersama kita sudahi
Syukur dan Rahmat moga dilimpahi.

To All dear friends bloggers and non bloggers.

SELAMAT HARI RAYA ADIL FITRI.Maaf Zahir dan Batin.

AKU

Kalau sampai waktuku
Ku mau tak seorang kan merayu
Tidak juga kau
Tak perlu sedu sedan itu
Aku ini binatang jalang Dari kumpulannya terbuang
Biar peluru menembus kulitku
Aku tetap meradang menerjang Luka dan bisa kubawa berlari
Berlari Hingga hilang pedih peri
Dan aku akan lebih tidak perduli
Aku mau hidup seribu tahun lagi


Chairil Anwar (Maret 1943)

Salam Ramadan

Demi Nusa,
Demi Negara,
Pasti kau dan aku sebati.

Yasmin -The Ledgendary Story Teller.Al-Fatiha

It was Nov.2005 when I first starts blogging,after been persuaded by my mate Boe,he was blogging under Ricky's Cafe then.
It was the early blogging era,much to my amusement,the stories written in the blog then,were innocent.
I am not a sopo fan thus,my visit to those sopores are limited.
I dont discuss or rather stayed away from those 'me know all the problems in Malaysia blog' nothing amazed me with what was written on the wall.


It is a fact yasminthestoryteller.blogspot.com was my first blog I followed with Boe's persuasion.
Her words were simple.
A very knowledgeable and a profound blog.
It discuss mainly on her work on films and adverts in progress.
She's jotted down to a precise detail,ample enough for a person like me with no knowledge of the film industry to understood its content.

Her blog was a one-stop-centre between her-fans and her co-worker,corresponding via the comment box.
The respond was fast.No twitters what so ever then,but her assistant were there in split second waiting for instruction on the on going projects or witting teaching her films student about the finer points in film making via internetting.

Amazing women,making use the 'know how' technology rather that 'know who',in making quality pictures.
I followed her blog long enough till I managed to get 5 entrance passes on her very first premier and much controversial film'SEPET'.
Ted,one of her pupils managed to pull me through.I pass on the ticket as a marriage present to my nephew Ariff,Lin and both my girls Nana and Aliah.It was before Adam was born.

I was active and a regular to her blog.
You would notice some of my early writing was a reflection of her blog.
Comments made by some, sometime were off the line and sensitive.
Come from a multi ethnic society,the religion issues were at stake but she played her critics down well.
Her films leads to much controversial in a conservertive society of ours,
but I must say ,she's a class of her own.Her message clearly understood.

A pace setter,an inspirational for the new breeds,a phlithropist and a trend setter on her own right.
She's take criticism in strike and able to defence her work inteligently and diligently.There was once I propose to her,

'....mum,you should be a Senator by now,incharge of our Culture and Art Ministry.Your place is at Dewan Negara...'in one of the comment box.
nahhh...she's not instrested.

She was much into her work with passion and articulation.
Be it the PETRONAS Raya's,CNY or Depavali or X'mas advert,she delivered it with perfection and in harmony refelecting the multi ethnic preception of
'what Malaysia is' instead of 'Malaysia where?? !!!!

They didn't teach that in any Malay film production do they?
Love and devotion for Film making - As she once said in her blog in 2006

'we don't need "ART" for a few.
we don't need "Education" for a few.
and we don't need "Freedom" for a few.

True to her words,Art is an Education,art shapes a person inner feeling and art is a social tool to instill love for human mankind as was projected through her work, translating human desire to Love,Peace and Tranquality.

Her messeage was simple ie. ...........BE GOOD HUMAN !!

Moga Allah memberkati usaha mu Yasmin !!.Amin

7 das tembakan ke udara. !!!!!!!!!!!

hormat Panglima.........hormat.

Al.Fatiha.


**************

Suara mu merdu,
Creativitas mu anugerah.
Insipirasi segala anak Malaysia.
Kepatriotikkan dan semangat mu yang gitu tak pernah disangkal.
Ilmu mu mendalam.
Fikiran mu terang.
Minda mu cergas
Kebolehan mu tanpa batas.

Kami sedu
Kami kenal siapa kamu
Mata mu sentiasa menunduk tanda merendah
Ayat-ayat cinta mu
tanpa mengira warna,semua hanya hamba allah jua
Kami setia
Kami bangga
Kami meratap kesepian
kami hormat pengorbanan
Kami tatap bingkisan
Pulang mu menemuai Ya-Hakim,
pulang lah dengan aman
moga perjalanan akhir mu disinari zat Ya Haq.
moga 'Loh Mahfus' penyeri pengabadian.

This is what the legal terminology the 'Inquistorial Legal System' I reckon.
Another appeal I wonder ?
Could you unshackle the schackles Yang Arif ?
All the Law student at all Law Faculty is observing the decision YAA !!

Another legal question Yang Arif?
Can the monach be impreach for wrongful decison made in his official duty.
Yes,as at it is now ,the answer is 'NO' according to our law.

BUT,Yang Arif,what if in the future, the err is so grave while executing His Mejestic official duty and it caused a great hardship to the citizen?
Probably,a new obitar on such an issue need to be address for future reference,YAA.

If,and only if the law said other wise,what would the remedy be?
For acedemic reasoning,history been refresh
King Edward V111 abdicate his throne for the love of Mrs.Wallis Simpson.
A gentlemen act indeed.

You the Wise one YAA.

Two diffrent state with two conflicting set up.
State Assembly is a noble place.Help us,we help you.
Read here

Pleased lah YB!!
Concentrate on how to pump money into Melaka.
Irrelavent and related issue is out.

Money is dry man !!!

This is no laughing matter !

I recieved a suprising mail containing some probably trail exam paper of our STPM boys.I have to edit the identity of the candidate and the good school from being drag to a major issue.
It was a while ago I wrote a short sinopsis on the topic.Heres the link

However,let me remind you the answer script does not come from my former alma,but that doesn't means there is none on the discovery channel !!
Be aware of that,Cikgu pleased !!

I am speechless,stunt by the write up answer script.
Yes,it was hilarious.
Probably,the exam was held on the April Fool's Day.
I leave it to the benefit of the doubt.
The exam paper was Sejarah (History).

The Sijil Tinggi Persekolahan Malaysia(STPM) or HSC/STP during my days was the last bastallion before one enroll to a university or start a working adult life.
The paper consist of 2 paper.
Sejarah 2,that is History of Asia Tenggara ,Jepun and India and History 4 consists of Sejarah Islam dan Sejarah Islam di Malaysia or a student could opt.for Sejarah 3 thats European History.

A student has to pass both paper with a minimum C to obtain a principle pass.

Go ahead have a good laugh.
This is a real answer script from our Sixth Form boys back home down south.
As far as I could recall,getting a place in the Sixth Form in a fully govenment school are based on the over all SPM examination.and a student must perform reasonably well to be selected to be in the Sith Form.

But....how come there's an odd one in the class ?
I find it amusing and thought provoking.
Check,Recheck or rebounce.

Take it as a good rememberence of the yester years I reckon.
Me,I'm no perfect on my examination answer either.

For much better viewing,view with Picasa

What !!!!!!!! Name a school after a Chief Clan !!!!!

I wonder whether naming a school after our fore father does bring good to our children.
Read the news.

Is Mr.Yap, a real philatrophist or only a story of from rag to riches?

I doubt it.What say you?

Why barking at the wrong tree, Mr.Ong?

Its a irrelevent issue.

hmmmm...........think about it !!!!.Prof.

Atas Nama

Ada diatas nama Tuhan, melecetkan Tuhan,
Ada yang diatas nama negara ,merampok negara,
Ada yang diatas nama rakyat ,menindas rakyat,
Ada yang atas kemanusiaan, memangsa manusia,
Ada yang diatas nama keadilan meruntuhkan keadilan
Ada yang diatas nama persatuan, merosak persatuan,
Ada yang diatas nama perdamaian,mengusir kedamaian,
Ada yang atas nama kemerdekaan,memasung kemerdekaan

Maka,
atas nama apa saja atau siapa saja
Kirimlah laknat kalian
atau atas nama aku perangilah mereka dengan
