Understanding Engineers - Take One
Two engineering students were walking across a university campus when one said, "Where did you get such a great bike?"
The second engineer replied, "Well, I was walking along yesterday, minding my own business, when a beautiful woman rode up on this bike, threw it to the ground, took off all her clothes and said, 'Take what you want.'"
The second engineer nodded approvingly and said, "Good choice; the clothes probably wouldn't have fitted you anyway."

To the optimist, the glass is half full.
To the pessimist, the glass is half empty.
To the engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.
Understanding Engineers - Take Three
A priest, a doctor, and an engineer were waiting one morning for a
particularly slow group of golfers.
The engineer fumed, "What's with those blokes? We must have been waiting for
fifteen minutes!"
The doctor chimed in, "I don't know, but I've never seen such inept golf!"
The priest said, "Here comes the greens keeper. Let's have a word with him."
He said, "Hello, George! What's wrong with that group ahead of us? They're rather slow, aren't they?"
The greens keeper replied, "Oh, yes. That's a group of blind fire fighters. They lost their sight saving our clubhouse from a fire last year, so we always let them play for free anytime."
The group fell silent for a moment. Then the priest said, "That's so sad. I think I will say a special prayer for them tonight."
The doctor said, "Good idea. I'm going to contact my ophthalmologist colleague and see if there's anything he can do for them."
The engineer said, "Why can't they play at night?"
Understanding Engineers - Take Four
Q. What is the difference between mechanical engineers and civil engineers?

Math and Science will be taught in BM
KUALA LUMPUR: The Cabinet has decided that the medium ofinstruction for Maths and Science will revert to Bahasa Malaysia innational schools and mother-tongue languages in national-type schoolsfrom 2012 onwards.
The reversal of the Teaching of Math andScience in English (PPSMI) policy will be done in stages, Deputy PrimeMinister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said on Wednesday.
He however added that there will be greater emphasis on learning the English language.
English literature will be re-introduced, as will subjects on grammar and composition.
Beginning2012, students in Year One and Year Four in primary schools, and FormOne and Form Four in secondary schools, will learn Math and Science inBahasa Malaysia.
The change will not affect those in Form Six and Matriculation.
The two subjects will be taught in two languages until 2014 for other students, he said.
“The gap between rural and urban students has widened since PPSMI started.
“Only19.2% of secondary teachers and 9.96% of primary teachers weresufficiently proficient in English,” he said, explaining theGovernment’s decision to revert to the old system.
On efforts toemphasise the learning of English, the number of English teachers wouldbe increased by 13,933 -- retirees would be hired, as well asforeigners if need be.
Primary schools will also increase English classes by 90 minutes a week.
Therehave been calls from various groups for the policy to revert to before2003, when the subjects were taught in Bahasa Malaysia in nationalschools, and either in Chinese or Tamil in national-type schools.
Theissue has seen a rare alliance between Malay and Chinese educationists,who are against the switch, although there are also calls by many parents and entrepreneurs for English to be maintained.
Comment : I heart fully agree with the decision. Well, u see, we already have the English subject itself. So, why must we involve Math and Science in this matter? Does learning math in english will enhance your english proficiency? For god sake, it's all about numbers and science is all about concepts. To success in math and science for later education, it's very very essential to understand and grasp the foundations securely. That means, the subjects must first be taught in a manner that the students can understand easily. Tell me, how can this be achieved if we teach these subjects in a language that the students can barely understand. English is not our mother tongue and learning this language itself will take time and efforts unless these students have been speaking in english at home which is very rarely found in Malaysia. Many people say it will soon be a trouble when the students enroll in university since most subjects are taught in english. My god, are these people too ignorant to realise the existence of English subject in primary and secondary school. When the time comes for them to go for tertiary education, if they are really learning in school, 11 years of preparation of learning English is enough for that. Most important scientific terms do not differ much in both language and believe me, the transition will be smooth provided that they already have strong foundations and knowledges in that particular field. Learning math and science is not about language, it's all about understanding. You dont memorize to solve mathematical problems... and you definitely dont need to memorize to explain scientifical phenomena if you really understand what is happening.

Empires
Yesterday, i've made a big decision... Don't worry it's not a decision that will the determine the fate oh this word. Hehe... Joking. Oh well, I've just purchased a ps3 cd entitled Dynasty Warriors 6 : Empires. That alone costs me rm230. That's why i dont really like ps3. The original cd is effing expensive! All programmers around the world, fast break the code and make a ps3 pirate cd out of it! :P
It was a cloudy and peaceful afternoon, all of a sudden my mom asked me if i want to follow her and my sister going out to KK. Since I myself had nothing to do at home, i willingly answered 'yes'. First stop, we went to Wisma Merdeka because my sister is planning to cut her hair at a professional saloon. So while waiting, I took a stroll with my mom and ended up in Bata Shoes Shop. We then looked around the shop and I planned to buy a new slipper since my existing slipper is too worned out. After purchasing one, I went to a gamestop and surveyed the new arrival games of ps3. Nothing cathed my eyes, I then went to Tong's to catch up with my mom. Soon after that, my sister smsed my mom that she was done with the hair cutting. Without any delay, we met her at the saloon. I told my mom that I want to go to Citymall to survey some games. Good thing, she agreed with me.
After going through a lot of traffic jams in KK, we finally reached the destination. I went to a gamestop and asked the boss, "boss, dynasty warriors 6 empires suda sampai ka?". He answered, "blum owh, mayb bsok atau lusa kali tu baru sampai." We then went to the next stop and the boss answered the same thing. Finally, I reached a shop and the boss told me the game had just arrived. I could still see the games piling up on a table and he's selling it at rm 230. The adrenaline was running fast through my body while holding the game case. Unable to decide at the spot, I went to Oldtown White Coffee with my mom and sister. I was thinking, thinking, and thinking. "Should I buy the game or not?" that question just keep lingering inside my mind. Being unable to resist the temptation, I went to the nearest ATM, drew out some money, and went again to the shop and said "Boss, i want the game". To cut the story short, I was home.
Without further a due, I opened the case and started playing. My dad made a big noise saying how cheap you can purchase it on internet, but I was too busy playing to pay attention to his bubbling. I've already bought it. So what to do? Nothing. Just smile (I've heard the phrase somewhere... Where is it actually?) One thing that concerns me, this game is one hell of a fun. I've just finished playing the officer mode from 8pm - 4am continuously without any break and planning to continue it after I finish updating this blog. I guess the gamer side of me is really back now.

Transformer and Lord of the Ring
Well, basically i've just watched Transformer 2. It's a great movie indeed with pretty solid actions. I've heard so many fuss on how great the movie is. Yeah i heart fully agreed with that. But to nominate it as the best movie of this century? No, I think Transformer is not up to that level yet. Yes it is IF AND ONLY IF 'Lord of the Rings' was never filmed before.
I can still remember crystal clear every scene in LOTR although 6 years has passed since that time. So far no movie has ever beaten LOTR in term of its epic-ness. Remember in 'Return of the King', when King Theoden of Rohan charges with his army of cavalry into a hopeless battle while screaming "Death!!!"?? Holy crap that was just too awesome. Knowing that you will die, but still fight for the freedom of middle earth.... No words can explain the feeling. The bravery, sacrifice, sadness, friendship, loyalty, betrayal... It is a complete movie good enough to drive me emotional watching it. So far, it is the only movie that had managed to make me stood up and clapping at the end of a movie in cinema. So if you ask what is my favorite movie of all time, without second thought, i will say Lord of the Rings Trilogy. ;)
Anyway to those who still havent seen the Transformer 2. Go watch it... It's definitely not a waste of money to buy the ticket. Have fun!!

Me and Digimon
Many many years back, when i was still so naive and innocent...
There exists an anime called DIGIMON or in it long terms, digital monster.
I used to be a freak and fanatic of digimon...
Actually up to this time, I am still and always be a lover of digimon. :D
Back then, I was so eager waiting for sunday morning to come. Sitting in front of the television, watching digimon was once my routine every weekend.
The badass design of digimon never fails to leave me in awe. Screw pokemon!! (i hate cute monster) Long live digimon!! hahahaha
I wish i can go back to the past... sadly it's nothing but an impossible dream. :(

Susan Boyle
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxPZh4AnWyk
I might be a bit outdated. In fact a lot! hahaha... Seriously i never know who the hell is this lady until i was given a link by my friend, Edgar to watch her audition in Britains Got Talent 2009. To those who are wondering, Susan Boyle was one of the contestants in this reality TV show and was awarded 2nd place in this season. Take note, she is actually 47 years old!! At first, i didnt expect much from seeing this video. However, things had gone beyond my expectation and I actually almost cried. Yes i was touched. Call me whatever you want but I dont really care. I had learned a great lesson watching this video. Commonly, we sometimes tend to judge people with reference of their outside appearance. I thought i was not that type of person until I saw the video. Without realizing it, i was actually laughing my ass off when Susan Boyle went out introducing herself to the judges and told them that she wants to be a singer. I was like 'wth is this women doing' at that time. To my astonishment, my mouth was shut tightly after this old lady started opening her mouth. That was absolutely stunning! I was speechless. I felt like i was somewhere inside a wonderland playing in a flat and calm playground with her singing as the background music. Ok i might sound a bit exaggerated. Hahaha. Moral of the story, never judge a book by its cover. Even a not good looking bread might turn out to be super delicious sometimes. Who are we to judge the creations of God (im not referring to the bread). It's very common that some people insult the other people just because they are not smart, or maybe they are not as good looking as the insulter. The question is, are we too perfect to pass judgment on these people? No we arent. Therefore, never ever look down on these people. In fact, everybody is equal in His eyes.

bad.. utterly bad!!
OMG... The last 5 months i checked my body weight, it was 64 kg. Then I checked it again last two months and it increased to 68 kg. Yesterday, I found out that it increased again to 71 kg!!! So here you can see that my body weight has been skyrocketing these few months. This is bad. Real bad... Something has to be done!! It's do or die.

Great~!
I've touched down on KK few days ago. So far the holidays is going great. This is really the place where my true heart lies in. :D
There have been some changes in my home when i was away for 5 months. The most notable is absolutely the new and lovely ps3. Sienz, the only games that we have so far are FIFA 09 and Metal Gear Solid 4. Hype all those games you want, but I aint going to play it though. No particular reason, just not my type of games especially the shooting one and football. Hahahaha. Anyway, talking about shooting, i've been participating in a paintball game with my colleagues. Special courtesy goes to Frank for inviting me. I was there with Ikhwan, Frank, John (Frank's bro), and a few of Frank's La Salle friends and cousin. Just 4 words to say, "no pain no gain". It sure is fun but definitely you will have to endure a couple of lovely and gentle hits from the pellets. I really mean it! Hahahaha. Got a couple of head shots and lovely bites at the back. Yeah thanks to Frank for ambushing me from behind. Nevermind... I managed to get my revenge by giving him a nice head shot at the end of the game. Sorry Frank, I dont really mean it. I was randomly pulling the trigger without knowing one of the pellets hits your head hard. >.<
Hopefully i can play this awesome game next time. If possible in a larger scale game(16 people). Im very sure it's going to be a lot of fun. Just have to fully get yourself prepared. Dont be like Ikhwan who became the president, running on the field using slippers and fall down. You know what it means if you fall on the battlefield. Just get ready to get focusfire from your enemies. Hahahahaha
Anyway back to ps3, to those ps3 owners who stay in KK, apparently I found two game shops in Citymall providing rental service for ps3 games. One of the shop offers rm20 per game for 1 week with rm250 as deposit and the other offers rm50 per game for 3 weeks with rm300 as deposit. If you dont have the capability to buy the original expensive games, renting is not bad at all. :)
Till my next post. Sayonara~

Strange
Something strange happened to me... I actually lost my silver ring four days ago. That day i was preparing myself to go to lecture early in the morning and I was very sure that my two silver rings were still attached to my fingers before i left the room. Soon after that i realized that i lost one of my rings when i was going down the stairs at my apartment. I tot i might lost it somewhere along the way so i didn't give too many thoughts on that. I did try looking for it inside my room but found it to no avail. And guess what, I've just found it lying on the middle of my bed a few minutes ago. Creepy~ I've been sleeping on the bed for 4 days and i have this habit checking my bed thoroughly before going to sleep. Im very sure the ring wasn't there before. Crap!!! Anyway thanks to that 'thing' for returning my ring.

Finally
Phew... Finally im able to update this blog after a series of urgency from my fellows. It's not that i dont want to update this blog, but the supreme buzyness in this hectic uni life limits my capability of doing so. Non stop assignments, tests, and lab reports have been bombarded to me. Gosh, im glad im still able to survive this rough current. Just go on with d flow one my friend said... :)
Hmmmm... Since the holiday is finally hitting on it's edge, i guess i'll have to seal this PSP for a moment or i wont be able to concentrate on studying. The end of this holiday means there are four more weeks before the study week starts to kick on. Wow! time flies fast.... Really fast. Soon i'll be able to go back to KK!!!! Yipee...
Talking about the end, Gundam 00 s2 and Soul Eater are also coming to conclusion. What i can say, those two are superb animes. Good animation, good design, and a good story plot. But so far, i still cant find any anime that can top Code Geass which in my opinion is the best anime to be ever created so far. Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is following next on the top list. Phew... Still waiting for a great anime to be released to get rid of my boredom. Hahaha... Being super buzy doesnt mean i never face this problem. :P
BTW last couple of weeks i received a bad news from my brother. RIP my lovely ps2. You have been a great and loyal friend to me. Your 5 years of great service will always be remembered. Sigh. And the good news is my dad is planning to buy a new 42" HD TV and a ps3 next month. Yeah!! This is really making me wanting to go back more than ever.
Anyway, the mid sem break is almost coming to an end. 2 days left before i go back to my normal hectic life. Owh ya, i purchased a PSP last week which hereby i announce my official girlfriend!! Wakakaka. Basically, dating with her was what i did during the whole last week. From waking up till i adjourned back to bed, this fella never ceased to amuse me. Getting a hold on this lovely console is really making my life more intriguing. Safely u can say console is a cigarette to me. Hahahaha. Game addict huh!! Whatever... >.<

Tagged
Well i was tagged... The rule is simple.
Select a song and describe the song's lyrics using pictures.
More or less similar to those karaoke songs.
Quite interesting it is actually but I just managed to do the 1st verse of the song until it's first chorus. The sulking internet connection here limits my capability of searching new photos since i don't have that wide arrays of photos stored in my laptop. Haih....
Anyway it's a japanese song... OP of Dragon Ball GT it is.
It surely brings a lot of memories to those dragon ball fans out there... hahaha :)

One Year Older One Year Wiser
Now im officially an adult! Hahaha... Should i feel happy or sad? I have this mixed feeling running through my heart. Happy that im turning adult which means im now able to do many things that i dont in the past? Or sad cause im no longer a teenager? Whatever it is, time flies and there is nothing we can do except appreciating every seconds we undergo. No? Hehehehe
Anyway 45 minutes before 12.00am, there was a short blackout for about 15 minutes yesterday. Wow! We're just in the second day of this semester and this thing happened. I really thought that i might be celebrating my birthday in the dark. Thank god it didnt last long or i might go to bed early. :P
As planned, me and some of friends here went to v5 cafe to have a supper. The purpose was to celebrate the birthday of course. Well it's not my birthday alone, Phil actually shares the same date with me. Hahahaha... So I would like to take this opportunity to wish Phil Foster happy 21st birthday!! And of course to myself too and everyone that is born on the 21st January!!! Hahahaha. Thank you everyone for the wonderful wishes. Really really appreciate it. May god bless all of you! Amin....

Sadness, Despair, and Sorrow
Those 3 are the exact words that describe my feeling and situation right now. Sigh~ Im leaving KK in less than 12 hours from now. This one and a half month seems too short for me. I think i had a great moment with my friends and families here this holiday. Believe me, I'll cherish every moment that we have spent together all these time! Thank you everyone!! :)
I guess i wont be seing KK till the next coming June. However based on my previous experience, the time will be passing by so fast.... Really really fast. I'll soon find myself to be very busy with assignments, tests, lab reports, quizzes, and bla bla bla then taraaaa............. im already sitting for final examination! The excitement of going back home will then strike me once again. Hahahha.. Those recycle will just keep repeating itself till i graduate or going for practical soon I guess. Hopefully this new coming semester is going to be enjoyable and wonderful... not only for me, but also to everyone else.
Gud luck!!!

The day with an old friend
I wake up early this morning... Just to accompany my mom to attend the PIBG seminar talk. It's great to see all the old faces in the school. Some of them never changed though. :)
To make it short, my mom dropped me at Centre Point KK right after the talk finished where I met with an old friend of mine. Really old... It has been 9 years since we last met (mcm jejak kasih pula). He's actually my first friend when i first walked into SK Sungai Anib 1 in 1996... We lost contact to each other after I moved to KK in my secondary school and by God's will, he found my friendster by internet 2 weeks ago. :D
We were basically reminiscing the good old time that we had spent together in primary school and it's full of laugh and fun indeed. He called me a 'nerd' for carrying big bags and big water bottle to school. Damn, he even remembered how i walked n the way i dressed myself. Frankly speaking, there were a LOT of sweet memories to recall... Wrestling at the back of the class before the additional class began, playing stupid run and chase game, playing erasers, kena rotan by teacher Joraidah ramai-ramai in the middle of the field, getting my Math exercise book thrown away by Ms Chang for unknown reason,and the list will go on... I swear those memories will always be kept in my heart. Reminding just how innocent i was before.. :P
I never realize that I actually experienced such a fantastic and memorable moments during my childhood days. hahahaha... and i seriously miss those faces whom i never got the chance to say good bye before moving to KK... Im definitely happy with this kind of reunion and may God bless them in everyway they do

4th January Outing
It's been a while since i hang out with Ikhwan and Afzan.. The last time was d day before Hari Raya i guess. We decided to go to Citymall and and had drinking session at the Oldtown White Coffee. That was d second time i came to this coffee house. The 1st was in 2007 whereby Adi was craving for ice cream toast on the night before the fasting month began. We visited Mark at Starbucks and had a short chit chat. The good thing is he offered us 30% discount to have a coffee there. The bad thing is we still didnt have enough money to afford that. Maybe next time lah ya Mark. :)
Haiz... That was really not my day. I ordered an ice cream toast but only to find out that they were running out of ice cream. i was like 'duh'. Come on, Giant is just nearby. Walking three minutes long to purchase the ice cream wont hurt isnt it. As the result, i ordered the ordinary kaya butter toast. Well not bad at all. Having it with an Oldtown Twin Shake Coffee (not sure about d exact name) was a good combination actually.Well we're jz basically chit chatting for d next 30 minutes. I jz found out that Cikgu Musli actually has a blog. hahaha.. cool...
me and ikhwan
me and afzan
It was already 9.30pm and there were still many people walking around unlike Centre Point which is already dead by 9.00pm. I was a bit surprised actually ... Hahaha.. I found this Polo pouch which was orginally rm39 priced. Not long after that a salesgirl approached and informed me that there was 50% discount going on for d whole bags for sale including that nice pouch. Without a second tought i bought it with rm19.50.. Not bad wasnt it? Hehehe.. The bad news is i only have rm10 left in my wallet right now.. geez... Im looking forward for another hang out this friday which is Mark's off day.

Pengorbanan
After having a nice dinner with Dr Roddy, i came back and reached home around 10.00pm. I was just about to reply Edgar's comment on d previous post and d modem was turned off. Left with frustration, i forced myself to sleep only to find out that i woke up at 1.00am... yeah nice~ :(
Well i couldnt sleep after that... no internet though... Nothing to do, so I opened my MS Word and was thinking to rewrite my first 'cerpen' in my high school days... That is why this post is entitled 'Pengorbanan'. I wrote this during my 'ujian setara 2' when i was in form 5. Only the story line is d same... I alter n improvise it a bit so it will look more refreshing to me. I did post this 'cerpen' in my previous friendster blog which i had deleted a couple of months ago. hahaha... I spent like 3 hours to rewrite this. D story line is still d same as d previous one so it's not really that hard. Long time I havnt spent my time 'buat karangan' and it is very fun indeed.. It is pure fiction and has nothing to do with anybody, neither the living nor the dead. To those who wants to plagiarize, ask for permition 1st k...

“Allahuakbar Allahuakbar…” kedegengaran laungan azan memecah keheningan subuh. Terjaga dari tidur hati ku berdetik “dah subuh rupanya.” Tanpa membuang masa aku bergegas ke perigi di belakang rumah untuk mengambil wuduk. Walau seberat mana mataku sekalipun , itu bukanlah alasan bagiku untuk mengabaikan tanggung jawab sebagai muslim. Tambahan lagi aku akan menghadapi hari yang bakal mengukir sejarah dalam hidupku iaitu SPM. Setelah selesai menunaikan solat, aku keluar ke dapur lengkap dengan pakaian seragam sekolah untuk sarapan pagi. Seperti biasa hidangan sudah tersedia untuk dijamah.
“Kau dah solat tak Adli?” ibu ku bertanya terbatuk-batuk.
“Dah ibu. Ibu sihat tak?” aku bertanya kerisauan. Sejak akhir-akhir ini, kesihatan ibu bukanlah di tahap yang memberangsangkan. Namun dia acap kali menafikannya. “Ibu tak apa-apa. Cuma penat sikit,” itulah jawapan ringkas yang ibu beri setiap kali aku bertanya. Sejak ayah meninggal dunia empat tahun lalu akibat kemalangan jalan raya, ibu lah yang menjadi tunggak keluarga ini. Sebagai anak tunggal, aku pernah menyuarakan hasratku untuk berkerja sambilan. Namun ibu membantah hasratku sekeras-kerasnya. “Kau tak payah kerja, ibu mampu menyarah keluarga ini! Kau belajar lah baik-baik. Tak payah risaukan ibu. Risaukan diri kau dulu.” Kata-kata ibu beberapa tahun lalu masih lagi terngiang-ngiang jelas di telinga ini.
Aku teringat peristiwa yang berlaku awal tahun ini di saat semua pelajar sibuk membayar yuran SPM, hanya aku seorang yang belum membayarnya. Pihak sekolah memberi tempoh masa dua minggu untuk yuran itu dilangsaikan. Mendapat tahu berita ini, ibu bertungkus lumus berkerja lebih daripada biasa. Selain daripada hasil jualan kuih muih yang tidak seberapa, ibu mengambil upah menjahit daripada penduduk-penduduk kampung dan jiran-jiran terdekat. Ibu sanggup bersengkang mata menyiapkan jahitan yang ditempah dan pada masa yang sama membuat kuih untuk dijual keesokan paginya. Berkat usaha ibu, akhirnya masalahku berjaya diselesaikan. Kadang kala aku rasa bersalah kerana tidak mampu menghulurkan sebarang bantuan. Hatiku yang melihat setiap titik peluh ibu jatuh berguguran tidak mampu digambarkan dengan kata-kata. Hanya tuhan saja yang tahu perasaanku di saat itu.
“Oi, Adli! Apa yang kau termenung tu? Dah lewat ni” Aku terjaga dari lamunanku. Tanpa membuang masa aku menyalam tangan ibu dan bergegas ke sekolah yang terletak tidak jauh dari rumahku. Awan mendung pantas berarak menandakan hujan bakal membasahi bumi tidak lama lagi. Aku mengorak langkah lebih pantas daripada biasa dan akhirnya tiba di sekolah sepuluh minit kemudian. Tidak lama selepas itu, titik-titik hujan akirnya jatuh berguguran. Fikiranku menerjah mengimbas kembali peristiwa yang berlaku tahun lalu.
Pada hari itu, aku yang baru sahaja selesai menjalani aktiviti ko kurikulum terkandas di sekolah tatkala hujan turun dengan lebatnya. Aku bercadang untuk balik selepas hujan berhenti. Aku menunngu dan menunngu namun hujan masih belum menampakkan tanda-tanda untuk berhenti. Hari sudahpun senja dah aku bercadang untuk meredah hujan balik ke rumah. Baru sahaja aku bangun dari tempat duduk, kelibat ibu kelihatan dari jauh datang membawa payung. Air mataku menitis tanpa aku sedari. Betapa besarnya jasa seorang ibu terhadap anak-anaknya. Lebih-lebih lagi ibu kandungku ini. “Kring Kring!” loceng berbunyi bising membawa aku balik ke alam nyata. Aku mengambil semua alat tulis dan bergegas masuk ke dewan peperiksaan. Dengan lafaz bismillah aku membuka kertas soalan dan menjawab dengan tenang.
Masa pantas berlalu dan tanpa aku sedari, hari ini adalah hari keputusan SPM diumumkan. Dengan harapan yang utuh, aku membuka langkah ke sekolah. Rasa gementar itu memang tidak dapat dielakkan. Lebih-lebih lagi apabila Awang memberitahuku bahawa aku mendapat 10A1 setiba saja aku di pagar sekolah. Pada mulanya aku bersangka itu hanyalah sekadar gurauan. Rupanya apa yang dia katakan itu benar-benar belaka. Sukar untuk aku mempercayai apa yang ku lihat tertera di atas slip peperiksaanku. Itulah hari yang terindah aku pernah rasakan sejak sekian lama. Bergagai-bagai pujian yang aku terima daripada guru-guru dan rakan-rakan seperjuangan. Dengan hati gembira aku mengorak langkah balik ke rumah. “Ibu mesti gembira!” hatiku menjerit keriangan.
Aku bergegas ke dapur sebaik saja aku sampai di rumah. Hatiku yang riang bertukar menjadi panik tatkala melihat ibu tersungkur di atas lantai. Aku menjerit meminta pertolongan daripada Pak Samad, jiran terdekatku untuk membawa ibu ke hospital berhampiran. Ibu dimasukkan ke bilik kecemasan sebaik saja kami tiba. Tiada sebarang perkataan yang mampu menggambarkan perasaanku ketika itu termundar mandir di hadapan bilik kecemasan. Setengah jam kemudian, doktor keluar memanggilku.
“Adik, ibu kamu tidak mampu bertahan lagi. Penyakit barah yang dihadapinya sudah mencapai tahap kronik. Kami tidak mampu berbuat apa-apa. Dia cuma ada lebih kurang dua hari saja lagi…” Hatiku hancur persis kaca di hempas ke batu di saat itu . Air mataku mengalir deras tanpa ditahan-tahan lagi. Hari yang sepatutnya hari terindahku bertukar menjadi mimpi ngeri yang tidak mampu dibayangkan. Aku meluangkan setiap masa emas ku di samping ibu sehinggalah beliau menghembuskan nafasnya yang terakhir.
Kini, aku berdiri di hadapan kubur kedua-dua ibu bapa ku. Berdiri megah bersama isteri dan anak-anak yang tercinta. Aku yakin mereka gembira dengan pencapaianku andai kata mereka masih lagi mengorak langkah di atas buka bumi ini. Berbekalkan keputusan cemerlangku dalam SPM, aku melanjutkan pelajaran ke luar negara dengan biasiswa yang ditawarkan. Aku kini seorang doktor berjaya. Itulah yang ibu dan ayah impikan selama ini. Ibu, ayah, terima kasih buat segala-galanya…
