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

Journey of Brother and Sister Part 1

Women of Substance by Barbara Taylor Bradford.It was a while back I read this emotional classic.A poor country girl,unfortunate circumstances fleed to big city London and make it good.
I am not a book reviewer neither my intention to write a sinopsis about the novel or films.Yes,it was also a hit tv series.Worth checking it out.I am sure a few pearl drops would do us good.

My,thought came running on Emma,the main character in the Jane Austen classic,
the 18th.centuary romantic novelist of the 'Pride and Prejudis' and 'Emma'.Those two classic would be a must in-cart for those into the literature.

Co-incidently the name reminds me of my youngest sister Emma in the land of white Dove.She's my most loveable sister of the two other sister of mine.
Her journey to London,England begins way back in 1983 in the pretext of studying.Study she did.I was still at my 2nd.year in the Poly then,we took the flight together on Thai Airways via Bangkok transiting.

Within a nick of a time,believe me we almost missed the flight,while in transitting .

Here's the story.

It was Emma's maiden,flight to anywhere.It was the furthest she's been,from a sleepy hollow Malacca.

At Subang International Airport,I met a dear friend of mine Zaini,she's was based in Bangkok,a stewardess with The Royal Saudi Airline.
She invited us to her apartment in down town Bangkok,knowing we has a few couple of hours before taking the connecting flight to London,Heathrow.

Zaini,gave us a good meal and a proper scrub on my hair by a Malaysian hair sylist in Bangkok.Talking about hair ,you bet mine that scruffy and weird long.Zaini insist that I had my hair cut.I obliged to her request.The visit to the saloon does do me an instant reformation.

Thanks Zai!!!I remember and cherish that!!
She send us back to the airport on time and I still have an hour or so before depart.I check in straight away and linger around at the transit lounge together with Emma.
I was so careless for not being prompt on the time,coz'at that particular era I do not own a watch.Well,it was not hip to wear a wrist watch,such was a hippy altitude then.

I was so into linggering at the transit lounge,I didn't notice or hear,our names was call out on the public announcement.It was merely 5 minutes before the flight take off,then I realised we had missed the flight.
We straight away dash to the entrance gate to catch the flight.
Mind you,the airport in the 80's were still in it manual stage.
One has to embark on the runways,a bus would take us to the desginate plane,but mine,I was so sure the plane to Heathrow was the one I saw at the entrance were already moving.
We make a dash to the runway.Me waving and screaming like a damm fool!!to the flight captain,I could see the captains cockpit from a distance,begging him to stop the plane.

One kind hearted ground staff,managed to radio the captain and after a few interception the moving plane,stilt for us.We board the plane in split second.
When we board the whole passenger in the plane did that stared look on both of us,probably,questioning mentally,how on earth those two 'wogs' managed to board the plane?

It was a smooth ride after the incident but upon safely arrived at Heathrow after the back breaking journey and another incident at the Immigration counter.!!

Indeed,it was the begining of a journey on the road of no return....!!


Pak Tuo

Moga Allah Memberkati Pertalian Kasih Mu

My dear Aida & Aidil,

Apa tanda hari nak petang,
Anak merbah terciap-ciap,
Apa tanda cinta nak datang,
Darah didada girap-gemirap.

Sembah takzim pembuka diri,
Tegahnya adat tamaddun berzaman,
Selamat menjalani Putri sehari,
Moga Allah berkati sepanjang perjalanan.

Ikan keli masak lemak,
Ikan sembilang digoreng lada,
Pesan emak kepada anak,
kalau tidur mesti waspada.

Pukul satu makan,
Pukul dua tidur,
Kalau dua-dua dah berkenaan,
Tak siapa pun boleh masok campur

Malam-malam dengar suling,
Suling merdu dari bambu,
Kalau nak kena pusing-pusing
Bila pusing makin jambu

Lagu reggea memang sedap,
Sedap lagi Melayu Asli,
Kalau ada yang menggendap,
Katakan saja 'For Private Viewing Only'.

Selamat Menjalani Kehidupan Yang Sebenar.

'Man is the General, Women is the Major,
Hubby make General decision and Wife makes The Major Decision'

Tahniah.

Yeah .........My Gal Nana's 15th.Birthday

About a year ago I did asked my gal Nana a quizzy question.

The question was,

'Nana....are we ready to accept a women as Prime Minister in Malaysia?

She still hasn't give me an answer till this day.

pssstttt........Kak Long....in Melbourne you there!!

Himm.....our week end pride and joy ADAM

Yes....that him.I call him PANGLIMA since day one.
My intonation like a Panglima,commanding but not demanding.
My orator skill pass on...
My living strategies skill aquired will pass on...
My logical skils ....wait for your 18th birthday

I train .....and well train my boy...
If anyone asked you who are you?

'...I am a person when I.O asked,IGP jawab!'

Well Done ...my Gal.

Thats my girl.
My beloved gal's Aimi achieved another Aces in her life.
She is awarded a schlorship by RMIT Melbourne Australia,
persuing accountancy deg,

Well,a cross road with her sponsor at the moment.
Well done my dear.
Do look forward for your graduation day.

Stay focus.......and be happy, all are well on board.

That's My Cucu.....Cucu Ku Dunia Ku

I promise a game of rugbby once his able to run,a pair of Timberland boots and a Kuda Kepang.
That's my cucu Ahmad Adam.

Good Bye Aimi Ku Sayang...God Be with You Insyallah

It's nice to see a child turn to be a pretty young lady.

Aimi left for Melbourne,Australia today at 9.30pm MAS flight.She's a daughter to me though I am only an uncle to her.

I am sought of bouncer to her and Nana her younger sister.

Guarding and motivating since they were a child.I could say they were our pride and joy.

Did pretty well during last SPM exam with 7 A1 and 2 A2's.The result if it were during my time would be a definate on any JPA'S overseas scholarship's list but sad to say now,with the overboard straight A's it's impossible even to apply for one.

I for one have nothing against straight A's,but a little overboard of ossession of A's is a bit worrying coz' it has multiple effect on child phsyco enviroment.

Aimi will definately get a place at any local Matriculation course of her choise if she decides to do local but she has set her mind to go overseas.

Me since I myself study abroad encourage it,firstly it was overseas which broaden our horizen and 2nly.self development and self confidence in leading a life in the future.

Paper qualification are ample any where, but one's out look in life are rather differs if we are sheltered at home.

Those are the essential element in fighting sprites in life.

We were at first sceptical of any sponsorship offer,knowing fully well the competition is,but one good samaritan offers a full fledge sponsorship right till graduation.I would call it golden opportunities of the life time.

Allah bless the golden heart.Allah gives what he wishes to anyone deserve.

Aimi's deserve to be among the bright young generation of scholars.

Be well my 'mon petit la'per (French).God protects you and our love to you remains the same.

We are proud of you Dato and Datin,May Allah bestows rightoues to you and family.Amin

Football.....The Curi Ayam Game

**ayah 1952**

Yes..yes the football fever is on again.
Me like any others male species are hook to the game and could not resist to watch the live telecast.

Wow....hang on a minute,anyone has any interesting tale to tell about football?
Yes the 'curi ayam'slang meaning a foul play by footballers every time a players cross over before the ball reached the line.
What ever it means, it does mean something to our local foot pundits.

Me basically,my daily pocket money comes from football.
Yeap..ayah is a football umpire and active one too,
'Joe Play Go'- The Football Umpire the locals nick name him.
Call it a shot he will be there on any afternoon at the Bandar Hilir padang,that is before the Padang turns into a concreate jungle by the State Government,turning the Padang at first as a 'Sound and Lighting Arena' and later I don't know what other mall they wanted to build for a population of a small city of 100,000 population.
Gone with the playing fields supposed to dig the talented Malaccan football players and up the mass super shopping mall.
Well,any newly decorated so call city needed a brand new shopping mall,I supposed

Yes, being a football freak the Imam of my kampong,the late Iman Hj.Sapau is one freak of a footballer.
There was on one occasion,the Malacca Team led by 'The Towkey aka Soh Chin Ann" was playing for the FA Cup.It was the was the semi-finalist game,if I may recall.He refuses to leads the Fridays prayers solely to enable him to see the match at the Kubu Stadium.I wonder when will the new state Stadium would be ready?
It seems it take ages to built one.

The Padang do have historical significant.
Firstly, it was the first Padang where the Proclaimation of Independence was hail by 'The Tengku' in 1956 arriving back from the pre independence discussion with the English Authority.
During its hey day, the padang not only breezees with cooling air from the seas of the Straits of Malacca but fill with leisure activities in the evening.
After a football match ayah will walk with me to the nearest stall for supper of Rojak and Satay not forgetting Air Tebu at Wak Temu stall under the 'Old Gum tree' right facing the famous 'A Famosa'.Fresh food off course.
Arwah Wak Temu is the dad of the National Hockey player Kamaruddin Temu.


It was from this field the birth of our National Skipper, now a Dato Soh Chin Ann aka 'Towkeh' is born.So does the national hockeys players Tam Kuan Seng,Haridas,Zamani Othman,Razak Leman,Zulkifli Bakar and Adnan Bakar both are sibling is groom.
Those were the days we play football and hockey for the love of the game not for the sake of money.The pride to be able to represent the state was a honour and be look up at,since under 12 MSSM competition.

Ayah, an avid sportman ever since his young age till now has instill a high level of sportmanship in me ever since I was a wee lad.
Even though I do not excel in any sports but I do enjoy watching a good game.
It haves been instilled in me and it comes naturally.

That was how ayah got his extra money, by being a football umpire in the evening.
All the amature clubs matches, he will be there,umpiring the games.Ayah keep fit by running up and down the football feild.
Malacca has vast amount of amature football clubs, those days.Name it, Kubu United,Dunlop United,Lee Sports Club,MCI United,Kg.Morten F.C.
They were the pioneers in the minor league.

Each match the umpire service charge WAS RM5.00.Saturday and Sunday is a full schedual for ayah.At time he has to matches one in the morning and one in the afternoon.Thus if there is 5 games in a week there is an extra RM20.00 a week for ayah.
RM5.00 in early 60's is a big amount.
Considering a goverment clerk pay was only R150 a month and that is how he managed his finance to feed all four of us,educate,and dress us decently.

I bear witness to Allah Almighty, ayah is not a 'CORRUPT' government servant.
He leads his life decently and earn his piece of bread to feed us in a likely manner, far from the the element of corruption.

Anybody dares to challege this statement please do so 'BUT' beware the court is all hearing!

The evening collection will goes to his LP collection of Titik Puspha,Ernie Djohan,Lilie Suryani,S.Affendi.Bing Selamat,Gersang etc.etc.etc.Not to forgetting Matt Monroe,Big Brother Frank,King Nat etc etc.

It was from ayah I learn to appreciated collectable items.
Ayah has amazing oldies LP's and still in his possession at home.
The umpire fees, goes to his little collectable space nice and neatly arrange

His sportmanship brought him everywhere.He plays tennis for the RISDA sport club,and still plays tennis right up when he is retired up until he met with an fatal accident which causes him to limp.
A handicap man,now but he still does 'senamrobik' everyday.
You find him doing his routine at the Bukit Serindit Park everyday except when it is raining.

May Allah protect my beloved Ayah.
May be one day I tell the story how ayah tried to groom me to be a national tennis player and match me with Adam Malik the first Tennis Pro from Malaysia.Its a long to brag and it begins way back in 1970 when I was in Standard 5.

In the mean time there is only one Dad,that is My Ayah that has 'NEVER EVER'
"Curi Ayam To Feed His Entire Family"
Syukur Lillah my families purely tummy is clean.

That Is My Inyik.- Sheihk Sulaiman AlRasuli Candung

Memegang Teguh Mazhab Syafi'i

Perkembangan Islam di nusantara tidak bisa dipisahkan dari kiprah para tokoh agama dan ulama besar yang giat menyebarkan sunnatullah serta Hadis di berbagai wilayah. Sejauh ini, Sumatra Barat merupakan salah satu daerah yang melahirkan banyak ulama terkemuka.

Di antara tokoh ulama asal Sumatra Barat terkemuka adalah Syekh Sulaiman ar-Rasuli. Semasa hidupnya, Syekh Sulaiman dikenal masyarakat luas sebagai ulama yang gigih mempertahankan serta mengembangkan paham ahlusunnah wal jamaah dan mahzab Syafi'i. Selain itu, dia merupakan pendiri organisasi Ittihadul Ulama Sumatra (Persatuan Ulama Sumatra) dan Persatuan Tarbiyah Islamiyah (Perti).

Dari buku Ensiklopedi Islam, Syekh Sulaiman lahir tahun 1871 di Candung, yang terletak 10 km sebelah timur Bukitinggi, Sumbar. Oleh karenanya, dia pun lebih sering dipanggil dengan sebutan "Inyik Candung". Dia bernama asli Sulaiman bin Rasul, namun murid-muridnya di kemudian hari, akrab memanggilnya dengan nama Maulana Syekh Sulaiman ar-Rasuli.

Ayahnya bernama Angku Mudo Muhammad Rasul, yang juga ulama di daerahnya. Dari ayahnya pula, Syekh Sulaiman memperoleh pendidikan awal, terutama untuk bidang pelajaran agama. Di samping itu, sejak kecil dia menimba ilmu kepada Syekh Yahya al-Khalidi di Magek, Bukitinggi.

Ibadah haji dijalaninya pada tahun 1930 yang kemudian bermukim di tanah suci Makkah selama beberapa tahun. Di sana Syekh Sulaiman menuntut ilmu dari sejumlah ulama terkemuka. Antara lain Syekh Achmad Khatib Minangkabau. Sedangkan teman-temannya saat belajar di Makkah ialah Syekh Abbas Ladang Lawas dari Bukitinggi dan Syekh Muhammad Jamil Jaho.

Ketiganya tetap beraktivitas bersama sekembalinya ke tanah air dan menjadi tokoh ulama terkemuka. Mereka lantas gigih memperjuangkan dan mengembangkan paham ahlusunnah wal jamaah. Tiga sahabat karib ini dikenal dengan sebutan "tali pilin tiga."

Pulang ke kampung halaman, Candung, segera Syekh Sulaiman membuka sebuah pondok pesantren besar. Dalam waktu singkat, pesantrennya ini mendapat sambutan menggembirakan dari warga masyarakat sekitar. Makin lama jumlah murid-muridnya kian bertambah banyak. Tak hanya dari wilayah setempat, mereka yang ingin belajar di pesantren itu juga datang dari berbagai penjuru Sumbar, Riau, Jambi, Bengkulu, Tapanuli, Aceh bahkan Malaysia.

Materi utama pendidikan di pesantren tersebut adalah pengajaran paham ahlusunnah wal jamaah serta mazhab Syafi'i. Dia sangat konsisten menjalankan paham dan aliran tersebut. Begitu pula ketika ada muridnya yang telah berhasil menyelesaikan masa pendidikannya, maka pada ijazah kelulusan akan dicantumkan pernyataan bahwa si pemegang ijazah, jika berfatwa, harus mendasarkan pada mazhab Syafi'i. Selain itu, masih dalam ijazah tadi, tercantum tulisan bahwa Syekh Sulaiman tidak akan rela bila muridnya berfatwa atau menganut paham selain paham Syafi'i.

Syekh Sulaiman tidak cuma dikenal sebagai ulama, kiprahnya merambah ke bidang politik dan keorganisasian. Tahun 1921, bersama dua teman akrabnya, Syekh Abbas dan Syekh Muhammad Jamil, serta sejumlah ulama kaum tua Minangkabau, membentuk organisasi bernama Ittihadul Ulama Sumatra. Ini merupakan organisasi saingan Persatuan Guru-guru Agama Islam (PGAI) yang didirikan kaum muda tahun 1918.

Tujuan dari pembentukan Ittihadul Ulama yakni untuk membela dan mengembangkan paham ahlusunnah wal jamaah serta mazhab Syafi'i. Dipilih selaku ketua umum pertamanya adalah Syekh Abbas Ladang Lawas. Organisasi tersebut kemudian menerbitkan majalah ar-Radd wa al-Mardud dibawah asuhan KH Sirajuddin Abbas dan H Mustafa Salim bin Syekh Muhammad Salim.

Dalam satu rapat yang berlangsung tanggal 5 Mei 1928 di rumah Syekh Sulaiman, muncul pemikiran bagi pembentukan organisasi persatuan sekolah-sekolah agama yang berpaham ahlusunnah wal jamaah. Sejumlah ulama tersebut secara tegas tidak setuju dengan aliran pendidikan yang dikelola kaum muda, semisal madrasah diniyah serta Sumatra Thawalib.

Selanjutnya, sekolah-sekolah agama yang tergabung dengan Syekh Sulaiman dkk dinamakan Madrasah Tarbiyah Islamiyah.

Syekh Sulaiman seringkali berbeda pendapat dengan tokoh muda lantaran keteguhannya mempertahankan paham ahlusunnah wal jamaah. Kendati demikian, dia sangat toleran dan menghargai pendapat orang lain. Oleh sebab itu, tak aneh bila tokoh ulama ini kerap bekerja sama dengan berbagai pihak meski ada ketidaksepahaman.

Pernah suatu ketika, Syekh Sulaiman berbeda pendapat dengan Dr H Abdul Karim Amrullah, yang pada intinya mengenai tarekat Naqsabandiyah serta rukyat dalam penetapan awal Ramadhan. Akan tetapi, keduanya tidak serta merta mengedepankan perbedaan pendapat itu ke dalam suatu debat kusir. Keduanua justru bekerja sama erat khususnya untuk menghadapi kolonial.

Mereka berdua bahkan acap kali mengisi ceramah di suatu tempat. Dan bersama dengan Syekh Ibrahim Musa --seorang ulama dan tokoh pembaru di Parabek, Bukitinggi-- berjanji untuk membawa semangat persatuan kepada segenap umat di wilayahnya.

Di bidang politik, Syekh Sulaiman pernah pula menjadi anggota Konstituante hasil Pemilu tahun 1955. Dia merupakan salah satu anggota tertua dan sempat ditunjuk untuk memimpin sidang pertama Konstituante. Selain itu, kiprahnya berpolitik sempat mengantarnya menduduki jabatan ketua Majelis Islam Tertinggi Sumatra Barat yang berkedudukan di Bukitinggi. Syekh Sulaiman pun tercatat pernah menghadiri konferensi ulama-ulama Sumatra dan Malaysia di Singapura pada zaman pendudukan Jepang tahun 1942.

Sejumlah karya tulisnya di bidang agama hingga kini masih dirujuk oleh beberapa sekolah agama. Antara lain karyanya adalah Kisah Isra dan Miraj Nabi, Cerita Tentang Maulid Nabi, Kisah Nabi Yusuf dan Yakub, Tassawuf, Ilmu Tafsir, Usuluddin, Doa-doa, Kisah Muhammad Arif-Tassawufdan Perdamaian Adat dengan Syarak.

Demikian sumbangsih Syekh Sulaiman ar-Rasuli untuk mengembangkan agama Islam dan pendidikan agama. Sejarah membuktikan, Perti yang dibentuk bersama dua sahabatnya dulu, kini telah menjelma menjadi sebuah organisasi yang mapan dan memayungi ratusan sekolah dan lembaga pendidikan Islam. Agaknya Syekh Sulaiman hendak menitipkan pesan bahwa dengan memajukan pendidikan, maka umat akan dapat bangkit dan berkiprah lebih aktif dalam usaha membangun bangsa dan agama.

My Pride and Joy- Mohd Fahmy,Nor Aimi,Andi Afley,Nor Fahzana and Andi Ashley

Hmmm.....The STPM result was announce last week.
Mohd Fahmy my eldest did reasonably well a modest 4A's in all the subject taken,with CGPA of 3.67.

The whole family is rather pleased with his performance.Never expected such an extraordinary result from an average Joe.
Fahmy is an average student ever since he was a young lad.Never show any extra ordinary performance in school but his determination to do well is well noted in the family.
Being the eldest,he showed the examplary to his others in the family what hard work and little play could get by.
His determination to read Law at the best Malaysian Law Faculty ie.UIA beats the odd.
His up right atitude forces me to gives the best to him and stranghten my inner me in believing that all my beloved one could achieve as his brother.

Now this year Aimi your SPM,'A'level at KYS for you if you make it.
Nana a long way its 2 years honey moon for you,but dear you show sign of positive development in inner you.
Aimi,

Tok Wak and Awah Mak

Date.....What Date..............?
Another year another resolution!
Hmmm....another dairy....what non sense!!!! I can't remember anyone whom keep his dairy to the maximum filled with memos and important notes.
Who ever told you either his or her diary is full with squibble written in it is a " LIAR!"
Name it,high ranking officers,Prof,sales man,sales top management,lawyers or bloggers, most of our own personnel dairy is empty.
All we did perhaps was,jotting down our mum phone number for s.o.s reasons.
Some of us goes fanatically collecting diaries before new year.
At the end of the day the old collectable dairies would be left in dust.
However,let me tell you a real gentalman whom keep his diary full,each single day.
This is not a "bluff", he did and piles of the dairies is still stored away at my late grand mums attic.

My late grand father "Tok Wak" that is my mums dad.
Wow.....what a strict disciplinarian he is.All my mums sibling remembered the lesson well.
He being the Principle Head Inspector of Schools in Malacca my home town, knows him for the"No Nonsense" approach.Till now people remember"Cikgu Dollah Puchong"(Cikgu=teacher)Puchong was his nick name.Puchong is a bird similar to a swan.Long neck and long legs.
That is how my late grand dad looks like.Well built with long legs and long neck.The name stuck till this days,way pass his death in 1992 at 92.
The school teacher who plays the violin,not concerto on Bach Em off couse but simple tune to fill his time and an instrument to brings joy to the family.
Simple tune may be "Tudung Periok" or"Grand Dad,Duke of York".
To be honest I never had the chance to hear him playing.
According to my late grand mum ledgend he is quite a player.Use to play at
'Kenduri kawin' or at 'Mandi Safar'ie. something like the wedding reception or a local carnival celeberation the Muslim month of Safar.A teacher whom is the state champion in Billarda old hen on Keroncong.Keroncong is similar to the reaggae beat or perhaps the Hawaian music except it is a bit decent.

His diary is fill from 1952 till his weak hands began to trumble in early 1990.No joke,he still write till his last breath.Not a novel or anything inparticular important in nature but notes of what his children gave him,his children school fees reminder,notes on any kenduri (party)of families members,my late grandma doctors appointment,her due payment to the grocries shop or simple jotting of his daily spending expenditure.Yes triffty.
Off course he has to, being the bread winner with 10 schooling children, he has to be triffty.

Yes in the old days the credit system exist on trust.Now every single item is "CASH"
However it facinates me his passion and that still strikes me of what an extraordinary gentalmen,a low profiler in the society and yet kept his words and built relation on trust,and maintance his fine tuning with the family well,he is.I being the witness.
How many of us still do?

That is what I call "QUALITY "of a man.

Specking of quality....in "Zen The Art of Motor Cycle Maintance" I found this phrase to share with you bloggers...!

Lastely Happy New 2006,don't count the years just count the cries!!!!!

from Zen......'quality are internal and external aspects of the same thing.A person who sees Quality and feels it as he works,is a person who cares.A person who cares about what he sees and does,is a person whom is bound to have some characteristic of Quality....

And I say..........Iya.....

Al-Fatihah
