Series 18

There is no short cut to any place worth going.
Sometime ago, someone told us: “This is where I want to send you both”.
Today, that someone hints us: “Sorry!”
Then we said: “Allah’s willing; we will be there one day, on our own!”

Mr. Kite, Please take me away, far beyond yonder and far from the eyes could see. My only daughter that I care and love so much left me alone with a broken heart!
Fly me to the moon; Let me sing among those stars
Let me see what spring is like; On jupiter and mars
In other words, hold my hand; In other words, baby kiss me
Fill my heart with song; Let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for; All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true; In other words, I love you.
What a long hair! But it was not long enough compared to the first time, sometime in 1970s, which was kept for about 10 months. This time it was only for 7 months and I already felt the heat, especially when the sun shines on those grey hairs! I could not beat you, you won!!
Lucky me, if not, I have to keep my promise to shave all – bald!
RIP to a close and true friend of yours, Sunkist, died on 3 Jan 2007. You mourn for the loss deeply, and we tried our best to comfort you. We laid it to rest at the exact spot you wanted and we planted the “misai kuching” on its grave.
Since you love and like cats so much, we planned to take you to visit the Cat’s Museum in Kuching, Sarawak, but sorry to say, this is not possible anymore.
Today, it is just another day to remember. Every year, we grow older and older, but actually, our life is shorter by time, except that we do not know when it will finally end, only Allah SWT knows.
For the past 20-plus years, we have given you our love, care and support. Almost every year you wished me a prosperous life and happiness, but from this year, I will not hear those congratulatory messages anymore. You are too far away for those lovely and encouraging words.
Unfortunately, we have to accept the fate destined upon us. No other persons knew what actually happened that led to the current issues. Anyone may say anything they like or did whatever to change and influence the situations. The truth lies between the three of us, but sometimes, nobody would want to listen and that leaves us with “nothing”, just because we don’t like to argue. We know we are right and Allah is with us, and may one day, the truth prevails. By that time, it will be too late to say sorry as the damage has been done.
We are planning to make an important decision of our life, at least before the end of the year. We hope this drastic decision would be a success; it will help us to build our future and forget the past. Life must go on and we will do whatever we can to ease the pain, hopefully, Insyaallah. We would sadly say good bye to all the memories or whatever we had here at Taman Seri Gombak when the time comes.
Assalamualaikum wbk.
You enjoy singing since you are 3 years old, with your favorite of Ramlah Ram’s or Man Bai’s songs. It was “Yesterday”, that your talent is sure enough! Watch out Youtube.com, here I come!
The umbrella that protects us from rain or shine for as long as we need it.
We thought you’ll be with us “under our umbrella” for the whole of your life, to protect, love and adore you, to make sure you’re safe and have the best education there is, attend to all your needs and for any other reasons you know why. We now know that it is impossible and that our rights were taken away!
They say, “Laughter is the best medicine. But too much laughter may make you cry”. So, laughter does not mean that you are happy, but rather it is a sign that will lead you to be unhappy, probably with tears in your eyes, when the time comes. Our fore-fathers used to say “Jangan terlalu suka, nanti berduka”
