Note 1: Urgency gives me the acceleration to speed faster. I love it.
Note 2: You will seldom see me on the net (as if I could resist blogging).

Jangan Bawa Mereka Dekati Saya Lagi

Assalamualaikum wbt

Di saat saya tiba di sini 5 tahun lebih yang lalu, saya seorang yang serba tidak tahu. Innocent. Tidak tahu yang buruk-buruk. Tidak tahu yang kotor-kotor. Tidak tahu pelbagai istilah. Tidak tahu pelbagai jenis manusia yang ada. Sekarang, terlalu banyak yang saya tahu. Perjalanan masa yang tak berhenti mengenalkan saya dengan semua ini. Hampir kesemuanya yang jelik-jelik.

Yang paling saya sesali, saya mengenali golongan gila seks. Baik suka lelaki-perempuan, lelaki-lelaki atau perempuan-perempuan. Di sini saya spesifikkan. Saya benci gay. Saya bukan ditemukan dengan satu, dua kes. Tapi saya ditimpa sederap, dihadapkan hampir berbelas kes. Jika saya bukan saya, saya tidak tahu apakah keadaan saya sekarang. Alhamdulillah saya masih saya. Maka saya menjauhkan diri dari segala yang ada.

Rugi bukan, apabila melihat golongan yang berpotensi menjadi teman hidup kita bernafsu songsang pula. Adalah lebih menyedihkan, apabila mereka ini sebenarnya bukanlah cetek ilmu agamanya.

Tapi saya pohon sungguh-sungguh. Jangan bawa lagi mana-mana golongan ini mendekati saya. Saya geli. Kerana mereka tidak malu membelakangkan hukum Allah. Dan saya geli kerana mereka menongkah fitrah.

Fitrah manusia yang waras sudah cukup indah. Dan Islam itu Allah jadikan sempurna dalam memenuhi fitrah ini. Siapa yang melawan fitrah, mereka itu… Hmm. Isilah jawapannya sendiri. Kalau ada yang terasa, maaf, saya hanya mahu encik sedar. Ya. Encik adalah seorang encik. Perbetulkan naluri encik. Selagi wujud golongan seperti encik, satu masyarakat itu turut terkena tempias azab Allah. Kalaupun encik tak malu dengan apa yang encik buat, tak takut dengan azab Allah, fikirkanlah nasib orang lain yang tidak terlibat.

Bacaan sampingan yang ditulis dua tahun lalu: Pink Is Not For Me

Nota: Tapi kalau macam dalam lagu Geek In The Pink tu takpe. Hehe. Yang tu normal. Yang macam tu diizinkan mendekati. Huhu.

Kalau

Assalamualaikum wbt

“KS, kalaulah tiba-tiba hal tu jadi macam ni, KS nak buat apa?”

“Kalau KS, dah lama KS serah pada yang lebih berhak. Kalau kamu pulak?”

“Kalau apa?”

“Kalau apa yang kamu tanya KS tadi jadi pada kamu pulak, kamu buat apa?”

“Ish, tak kot.”

“Mana aci. Tadi pada KS, KS jawab je soalan tu. Kalau je pun kan.”

“Macam mana tadi soalannya?”

“Aishh. Kalau hal tu jadi pada kamu, kamu nak buat apa?”

“Erm. Entah. Wanie tak tahulah.”

“Tapi tadi dah nyata-nyata soalan kamu pada KS begitu bunyinya. Kalau dah jawapan kamu macam tu, KS pun dah fahamkan jawapannya hanya sama ratakan saja dengan jawapan KS tadi, kan. Kira macam pulangkan pada kamu semula jelah, kan.”

Kami sama-sama ketawa. Memandang jam, hari sudahpun lebih dua minit masuk ke tanggal 5 Januari.

Kami berada dalam kasut yang sama. Tak siapapun memahami. Tapi pendekatan kami untuk berhadapan dengan hal ini hampir sama saja. Tapi saya jangka penyudahnya berbeza. Gula-gula kapas yang manis untuk Wanie. Secawan kopi pekat yang sederhana pahit untuk saya.

Nota 1: Bersedia menghadapi hari muka.
Nota 2: Tolonglah wahai kamu-kamu itu. Jangan penuhkan kotak friend request di FS dan FB saya. Saya memang tolak semuanya. FS hanya untuk kawan-kawan sekolah lama dan FB hanya untuk kawan-kawan di sini saja. YM? Ini lagi satu. Sila jangan cari saya di YM lagi. Memang tidak wujud. Berikan saya sedikit ruang, boleh?

Back Into Shape

Assalamualaikum wbt

Alhamdulillah. After more than 48 hours bed ridden session with blocked nose, sore throat and barking cough, I am now back into shape. I had myself a strict medication schedule. I woke up for every course even at 4 in the morning. I asked my brother to ring me up in order to help me getting up from sleep. Ah. I put so much effort to get back kicking as soon as possible.

I had a few special antidotes too. A few phone calls with my best friend, Faaiqah, followed by Nadia Yuna and a long conversation with my emak over the phone last night. And this morning, I recieved two emails from my ayah. One contains a video of one of my favourite songs and another one contains a picture of chicken curry that they had for lunch at home today. Everyone seems happy to tease me with food, shopping and all, eh?

Oh, I am a fan of Micheal Buble. But my ayah sent me the Bee Gees’ version. I laughed to bits. Thanks, Ayah. But don’t worry. I like it anyway. Hehe. How Can You Mend A Broken Heart.

Note 1: I still have some flu and super husky voice. Thus, I need to consume the drugs, still.
Note 2: I can’t wait to continue my revision! I am nerd, I know. Haha.

Mukah : A Silent Heaven Of Sarawak

Assalamualaikum wbt

My dear Kaklong,

Mukah is about 3 hours drive away from Sibu. It is located right in the middle between Sibu and Bintulu. So no worries. You may come back home easily since domestic airports are around. In the northen part of Mukah, you may go swimming in the South China Sea. Hence, most of the Mukah people live up their lives as fishermen, selling ‘umai’ and other fish or prawn based products. Have you ever tried birdnest? Oh, you never tasted it, right? Later in Mukah, you may try it, dear. Birdnesting is one of their very few economic activities. The other thing is Sago. Still remember the TV program we watched 16 years ago on TV Pendidikan about Sago production? Yeah. They used legs to produce them. Hehe. Ok. Kidding. That was 16 years ago. Nowadays, they use modern technologies to produce them until the packaging is done.

Most of the residents are Melanau. They are Muslims and have their own Melanau tongue. Therefore, I strongly suggest you to learn their language to easily marry a Melanau guy ease your days in Mukah. One more thing about the people, they are courteous and a smile is never really far from the surface.

Oh, not to forget, there’s a nice pier in Mukah where fishermen come and go in the morning and evening. It is located right in front of the Mukah Market. I think, you can repolish your past time activity that you left long ago, hang out at pier or jetty (I suggest you to read this entry again. Huhu).

I hope you will survive in Mukah. Don’t worry. I will surely pay you a visit. I’ve never been there yet. So I hope, you will expect my arrival around July, alright? I am almost 95% sure that you won’t be sent to some rural areas in Mukah. According to the information given by my trusted friends, such places in Mukah are approachable easily by 4-wheel drives. Thus, I consider that they are not that rural anymore since no boats or JKR ferry are needed. So, please give me a big smile when I come to your place, ok? Oh, I hope you are not going to put high expectation about Mukah. Everything is possible. Just remember what ayah had told us: He always knows how to put things in proper place. Perhaps, you are just one great human being to have this great opportunity to be sent in such place. Hey, after all, Mukah isn’t that bad, no?

I hope that you feel relief reading my lines here. In fact, the title tells everything already. Come what may, I know you will survive, Kaklong =)

Note: I spent most of my time on the bed. Even I prayed on the bed too.
