A Joy.....

So many things on my mind

So much work needs to be done

And yet...
so little time...

With three little ones in hand

Is a handful

Keeps  me on my feet twenty-four seven

But...

It is not a complaint

Not a dislike...

No, no, no...Not even near!

But... it is a ...

joy of giving

joy of loving

joy of teaching

 joy of learning

I feel blessed having them around

They brighten up my days

Looking at the smiles on their faces

Heard their waves of laughter

Their cute faces when they cry...

Their innocent and calm faces when they sleep...

Delights me...

Alhamdulillah

May all three grow up to be SOLLEH 

May someday,
 when I am long gone

they will cherish the moments we spent together.....

And hopefully.... someday,
 they will remember me as a small part of their life...

InSyaAllah...

Gone but never forgotten...

Assalamualikum, I have written this since the day he passed away on the 13th of June 2019 but I just cannot bring myself to post it. Not much that I can share about him but to my family and me, he is a very special person indeed. In my eyes, he is a brother and a friend to whom we can discuss lots of things. It was a great loss to all of us but Allah loves him more. May all his good deeds make him one of those to Jannah...InSyaAllah.

Allahyarham A.Rahman Hassan

(30 Julai 1946–13 Jun 2019)

      Life is very short indeed... in the blink of an eye, something or someone whom you knew and very close to or someone whom you admired from afar was gone forever. The only thing that we can remember was the moments we shared together. Those moments will be in our heart and in our mind until the end of time. 

      We all are living on borrowed time. A phone call from him last few months was the last I heard of him. He was in Johor attending a family’s wedding and at the same time meeting families from all over near and far to complete his task. He asked me to see him there to meet family members whom he think are related to my family line on my father’s side. I  could not make it because too short of time. We planned to meet again in future but in this case, the future will never come. 

       My long lost brother was gone forever. He collapsed and passed away peacefully in the arms of his loved ones.  When he was in the ICU, my husband and I managed to visit him.  Thanks to Chu Oki and husband Rauf for the visit. Even with all the tubes and wires, he still looked good and not a slight look of pain in his face.  Nothing! So peacefully. Subhanallah... he was just like in a very deep sleep.  But Allah loves him more. He was called back. Even though it hurts everybody, especially his wife, siblings, his sons Khir and Az plus the grandchildren.  This is because he loved having them around him all the time. It was said that every weekend or every festive day, every one of them will be gathering in his home in Ampang. He brought his family members in a very tight bond. This Silaturrahim he created was fantastic. He will be missed but each and every one of them. I hope they stay the same until the next generations to come. his sons especially have to lead the family now and make sure his legacy remains. But we have to accept fate. Abdul Rahman bin Hassan was gone forever but the memories and his songs that he left will cherish us and remind us of him for as long as we live.  My generation and earlier than I grew up with his songs.

       He was a very loving person.  Although a well-known personality since the 1960s, he was such a very humble and down to earth. He always has time for everybody. He worked hard for his peer group and friends of the same profession especially and he stood up and fight for their rights. He was a real artist at heart and in mind.  I am very sure that his friends of the same era especially will miss him dearly. He was a grandfather, a very caring father, a happy husband and most of all a loving brother to everyone who knew him. 

His family who love and adore him very much.

As for his wife, Datin Fadhilah Mansor whom we call Kak Chik. Please be strong and stay as nice as you are. Thank you very much for taking care of Nong. He missed Arwah  Kak Azizah so much and Allah sent you to him. You have been such a wonderful companion, a humble partner and a very understanding wife to him. He made no mistake of choosing you. May Allah blesses you with all the best in life.

Both of you will be missed.

On that special day, my husband was the emcee.

        He was working on his family tree and worked hard to bring his family near and far together. I hope and I make dua,  may Allah grant him Jannah for all his good deeds in bringing families together and tightened the Silaturrahim amongst us. May Allah bless his soul.  

       The whole nation, young and old especially for his friends who were in the same boat with him entertaining us since the 1960s, will definitely miss him.  

       Please make dua for Allahyarham brother A.Rahman Hassan also known as Nong amongst families and closest friends and may he rest in peace. InsyaAllah.

Makan Durian dengan jiran!

Jiran yang sentiasa bersepakat, ukwah yang erat menghasilkan kejiranan yang hebat.

Sejak bulan Mei kami membuat perancangan.
Biarlah ditertawakan kerana membuat persipan yang
awal kerana ramai yang terlepas pandang bahawa
ketika durian sedang luruh, ramai pengunjung berebut-
rebut mencari penginapan di sini. Akhirnya hari yang
dinanti tiba jua. Kehadiran kami dinanti.....

Syukur Alhamdulillah, segala perancangan
berjalan dengan baik dan teratur sekali tanpa sebarang kemalangan. Seramai 54 orang peserta yang terdiri
dari 20 ahli RSSB dan keluarga mengambil bahagian
dalam program Makan Durian di
Lembah Temir Eco Resort ,Raub, Pahang.

Sedapnyaaaaaa.....

Pengantin baru menikmati makanan tengahari....

Setiba di LTER, kami dijamu dengan
makan tengahari dengan pelbagai jenis lauk kampung
yang sangat sedap...hasil dari air tangan
Hajjah Wan Remlah. Benar-benar rasa masakan ibu.....Kemudian satu taklimat telah
diadakan serta penyerahan kunci bilik
bagi semua peserta.

Peserta yang kali pertama datang ke sini
perlu diberitahu tentang apa yang dibenarkan
dan apa yang dilarang di LTER. ini adalah
untuk menamin keselesaan mereka selama
berada di sini. Peserta pulang ke bilik masing-
masing dan beristirehat...
tetapi anak-anak sudah
tidak tahan lagi bila melihat air sungai yang jernih
dan dihuni oleh Kelah liar yang jinak....
Ada yang terus terjun...
hahhahahha...

Menikmati pemndangan Air Terjun LTER di waktu malam.

Selepas berehat, kami dihidangkan pula
dengan minuman petang...makannnn lagiii.
Kemudian, Haji Che Din Sulaiman memabawa
kami ke kebun duriannya dan beliau mengongsi
ilmu tentang penanaman,
penjagaan serta jenis jenis durian.

CDS mengongsi ilmu duriannya.

Bergambar sakan bersama pokok durian...

Kemudian kami bermandi-manda di
Lata Temir yang memang amat sesuai untuk
anak-anak kecil berenang. Air sungai tidak
sebanyak biasa kerana hujan agak kurang
bulan ini dan uaca sangat panas. Tetapi
kami tetap gembira. Perlu berhati-hati kerana
keadaan batu-batu yang licin. Masing-masing
berpakat memerhatikan pergerakan antara satu
sama lain khasnya anak-anak kecil.
Bimbang ada yang terjatuh.

Emi berlagak seperti life guard...

Makan malam sedia terhidang selepas
kami keluar dari surau Solat Jamak Takdim Qasar
Maghrib dan Isyak. Timbalan Pengerusi
Persatuan RSSB, Dato Misri menjadi Imam
dan beliau juga merupakan Ketua Rombongan ini.

Selepas makan malam, LTER telah
menjamu kami dengan sebakul penuh durian
Musang King dan sebakul penuh Durian D24....
MasyaAllah, masing masing makan sampai tak
cukup mulut. Dari situlah kita dapat mengenali
siapakah diantara kita hantu durian. hehehehhe.
Terima kasih LTER.
Durian mereka memang terbaiklah!

Jamuan Durian Musang King dan D24...terbaik.

Peserta berehat di bilik masing-masing dan
ada diantara kami yang bersembang
hingga larut malam. Itulah kelebihannya jiran tetangga di RSSB.....punya ikatan persahabatan yang sangat akrab.
