Alhamdulillah, Ayum masih belum tinggal satu haripun puasa untuk Ramadhan kali ini. Aisyah menangis masa nak ke Taska. Baby biasalah, buat perangai pukul 4 pg... dah 2 hari pening tak cukup tidur...
Di pejabat, dah ramai mula bercuti. Anak2 murid Aviation pula, hari ini merupakan hari terakhir mereka. OJT mereka bermula selepas raya, kecuali Jeremy, yang akan memulakan program trainee pilot seminggu selepas raya. Pagi ni, berkereta seorang, sebab kak Bedah dan Rahim dah bercuti. Rahim naik flight ke Sabah pukul 7pg. Kak Bedah pula, anak2 di asrama & kolej balik hari ni. Tahun ni, dia sayu sikit, sebab Fakhri tak ada, dia berlepas ke Jordan 10 Ramadan yang lalu.
Malam tadi, sempat buat biskut choc chip. Dapatlah satu adunan - sedap!!! Sambil tu, tengok cerita Kekasihku Seru - barulah faham betul2, sebab dah tunjuk salasilah macaman bermulanya Waris...
Petang semalam juga, semasa ke JPS di Sek 4, terjumpa Gina... punyalah vogue minah tu dengan baju merahnya...Then, ke UiTM, Dr. Faizah dah balik. Jumpa Miya, borak2 kejap... Masa balik, dah hujan...
Ok, harap2 esok tak ada masalah nak bertolak sebelum pukul 8... minta2 selamat... Amin

6 days to 1st Syawal
Yesterday was my Pak Chah's birthday- for the first time, I remembered. So at around 6 yesterday, I mentioned to Papa, and he told me to send Pak Chah his greeting as well.
Hm, and, in 2 more days, this Saturday, I'll turn 39!!! Just a year shy of the big 4-0! Wow, am I really that young?
Right now, I'm quite into geni.com, a wonderful site that allows you to create family trees... last weekend, while checking out the family tree with Aduk, we discovered that our great-great-great grandparent / my mom's oneng-oneng is a Panglima. How's that? Anyway, it really is interesting to have this kind of connection with family members, I'd go and invite more family members soon!
Talking of relatives, semalam borak dgn kak Mas (Hafazah, menantu Pak Long Yahya)... lama tak bercerita, adalah jugak sedara nak chit-chat kat sini. Konon nak promote tudung, tapi cerita-ceriti yang lebih.
Last nite, ingat nak buat choc chip sikit, tp baby meragam... ada aje benda yang buat dia menangis. Tapi bila I simpan butter dlm fridge, she had the cheek to ask me, "Mummy kata nak buat kuih?" Macam2 anak dara tu!

7 days to 1 Syawal
I haven't blogged for almost 3 weeks. So many things have taken place in Malaysia... some good, some sad, some depressing...
At work, my Aviation kids are now sitting for their finals, being their final week, I am a bit nostalgic about life without them... imagine, knowing them for almost two years, every week, save for holidays, sick days, OJTs, hm, I'm really gonna miss them!
On the political landscape, I know that as a government staff, I cannot make political stands, but no right-thinking Malaysians are not anxious about how things are on the home front. Yalah, 9/16 came n left, then 9/18's UMNO MT meeting was explosive, then, bloggers were detained, Teresa Kok released from ISA, n yesterday, RPK was sent to Kemunting... Hm, how's that, Sporeans? In that sense, you cannot kiasu with us - you lose hands down! No way your political landsacape's as interesting as this!
At home, my babies are finally back in the pink of health, ready, raring for Hari Raya I guess!
And so far, kuih tart dah tinggal dalam 200 pieces... I think almost 60 pieces dah habis kena ngap by the kids...
My upm tesl group dah start emailing the raya wishes.. I have to remember to do that soon!
hari ni juga, dapat berita sedih- ayah Dila meninggal di Kelantan. Baru hari Isnin tu cerita2 dengan dia, dia excited nak balik Kelantan awal, malam ni, patutnya, utk beli persiapan untuk anak2 di sana, sebab dia tak pernah shopping di sana. Semoga dia dan keluarga tabah dengan dugaan di Ramadhan mulia ini...
Til my next blog, ciao!

Al Fatihah.
Pak Samad telah kembali ke rahmatullah pada jam 5.58 petang tadi di Hospital Pantai Kuala Lumpur. Jenazah Allahyarham akan dibawa pulang ke rumahnya di No 2 Jalan 16/7C, Petaling Jaya dan akan dikebumikan pada hari esok, selepas solat Jumaat.
Semoga Allah SWT mencucuri rahmat ke atas roh Allahyarham.
Jika disorot kembali sejarah era penjajahan, tidak boleh dinafikan sama sekali perjuangan beliau menentang penjajahan Jepun dan British melalui Kesatuan Melayu Muda, disusuli peranan beliau mendrafkan Perlembagaan Rakyat bersama-sama Pak Sako dan Ahmad Boestamam.
(dari DSAI's blog)
from thestar:
KUALA LUMPUR: Veteran journalist Tan Sri Abdul Samad Ismail (pic) died at the Pantai Medical Centre at 5.58pm Thursday after suffering from lung infection.
Abdul Samad, 84, affectionately known as Pak Samad, was admitted to the hospital on Aug 24 after complaining of difficulty breathing.
He leaves behind wife Puan Sri Habibah Hamid and 10 children.
His first wife Hamidah Hassan died June 2, 1990.
According to Bernama, Abdul Samad's body will be taken to his house at No 2, Lorong 16/7C, Petaling Jaya and it will be laid to rest after Friday prayers.
Pak Samad touched many lives through his writings which were radical at times but always thought-provoking.
Born and educated in Singapore, Samad's career in journalism started in 1940 after he finished his Senior Cambridge certificate. He started working as a cub reporter in the newly-established Malay daily, Utusan Melayu.
As a Malay nationalist, Samad fought for independence from the British through his writings and the newspaper sympathetically covered news of student movements and labour agitations.
He also joined hands with left wing Malay nationalists in pushing for de-colonisation and met with anti-colonialists of all races including Indonesian revolutionaries fighting for their own independence against the Dutch.
He went on to head Berita Harian and later on The New Straits Times group as its managing editor. He was arrested in 1976 under the Internal Security Act. He was only released in 1981 after which he re-joined the NSTP group as its editorial adviser. He retired from journalism in 1988 and was honoured by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong in 1992.
He was also awarded the title Pejuang Sastera (Literature Champion) for his accomplishment in the literary and journalistic field.
In 1994, he received the Ramon Magsaysay Award for Journalism, Literature and Creative Communications Arts in recognition of his role in championing national independence, cultural revival and democratic nation building.
Some of the novels he has written include Kail Panjang Sejengkal (1963), Patah Sayap Terbang Jua (1966), Tembok Tidak Tinggi; Orang Jauh (1967), Menduga Lautan Dalam; Menimba Yang Jernih (1968), Sutinah (1975) and Hud (1995).
