easy to be a good parent, difficult to be a good child

i certainly agree with that. As a parent we always want to give the best to our kids. The best education, the school, the best food, clothing and the best etc. We are willing to do all thos kind of BEST thing, nobody need to force us. Failing to fulfill the BEST thing will make us feel that we are a bad , ignorent, irresponsible parents.

BUT how many time we try to give the BEST thing to our parents? we are so busy with our life until one simple call to say "HOW ARE U" everyday becomes so hard to fulfill.Yeah it sure make us feel guilty but we keep on continue with our life... forgiving ourselves... for leaving our parents behind ( well a lil bit, but still behind).

If our parents sick( minor sickness), then normally if we live away from them , we will just call and ask how they are. And will call any siblings who live nearby to check for our parents and bring them to hospital or clinic. Why cant we ourslve, drop anything that we are currently doing and visit them? What is more important than 2 people that brought us to life? And if the sibling who stay nearer cannot entertain our request to look after the parents or send the parents to hospital, we tend to get mad and probably say " That's the advantage of having someone near , just bring mother/father to clinic, it cant be that difficult!!". Yes, Its easy but we never do it ourselves.

If we live near to them, we still will be very busy with our live. but when a sibling who live away called we will say, i've look after them, but what else you expect me to do? i also have my own life and kids...why dont you yourselves come back and attend them for yourselve? if you are busy i am busy tooo...hmmmm... that's normally happen...

but if our kid is sick, we will definitely send them to clinic right away. we can took emergency leave to excuse from work to take care of them.

Ark kena pukau??

Lama betul tak mengupdate blog ambo ni... maklumla... buzzy le katakan... hehehe.. cerita ni my hubby dah cerita dari last week lagi tapi memang tak sempat nak didokumentasikan..

aku ni kalo time kurang buzzy sket hari jumaat suka ikut hubby pegi semayang jumaat kat masjid bayan baru , tapi hubby je la semayang jumaat,selalunya seperti biasa pompuan cam aku ni apa lagi melepak kat sunshine la.. cuci2 mata tengok beg ke kasut ke.. kalau tak dapat beli dapat tengok pun jadi la...

ceritanya pasal sorang akak tu yang modus operandinya sama cam aku jugak. time husband dia semayang jumaat dia pun lepak le sengsorang kat sunshine. Nak dijadikan cerita datangla mamat indonesia ni tepuk bahu dia. Terus akak ni terpisah dari dunia luar..tapi sebelum tu sempat jugak dia SMS husband dia cakap dia takut. bila husband dia pegi cari kat sunshine memang tak de... sampai la 3 hari kemudia lepas husbandnya pegi jumpa sorang ustaz tu..barula akak ni dijumpai kat dalam sunshine dengan baju yang dia pakai hari hilang tu, dengan barang2 shopping dia hari tu..tapi kasut dah hilang. rupanya sepanjang 3 hari tu akak tu tak pegi mana pun ada dalam sunshine tu jugak..tapi orang yang mencari semua tak nampak. sekang ni akak tu tengah berubat sebab walaupun dia dah sedar masa dijumpai tu tapi lepas tu dia jadi cam murung dan terganggu.

herankan.. tapi ni citer betul.. aku tanya gak hubby ..buat ape pulak mamat tu pukau2 pastu tinggal cam tu je. kata hubby aku menurut ustaz tu mungkin orang ni ingat akak tu perempuan single kot..so jadi mamat ni mungkin ada niat nak menjadikan akak ni mesin cetak duit dia...ye la bila dah kena pukau .. penat2 keja pun boleh bagi duit kat dia.. tapi lepas tu dia tahu akak ni ada husband sebab tu dia tinggal cam tu je. entahla..hanya mamat tu dan Allah je yang tahu apa niatnya

so kengkawan sesiapa yang jalan sorang2 kat mana2 harap berhati2 sikit. kalau dengar cerita kosong atau cerita o je aku mmg susah nak percaya tapi ini datangnya dari sumber yang sah...

nota: sunshine adalah supermarket kat sebelah masjid bayan baru

Let go and live a life

How hard to let go? sometimes when we thought it's impossible to erase the memories of the past, what we need to do is not to erase.

"Forgiving does not erase the bitter past. A healed memory is not a deleted memory. Instead, forgiving what we cannot forget creates a new way to remember. We change the memory of our past into a hope for our future." quote by Lewis B.Smedes

Indeed it is. By forgiving we can let go.By letting go we can cary on with our life. and by letting go we can live a life to the fullest , without regret and hesitation

The Suluk lunch

Yesterday was the 2nd day we're in Kota Kinabalu Sabah for my BIL wedding. We went to pasar besar kota Kinabalu and have the suluk lunch there ( upstairs)
The dish is made from 'ikan yu' or shark.some people call it serunding ikan yu.eventhough shark has a very 'fish' smell a lot of turmeric and other spices has eliminate the smell away.sorry for the not so good picture. it was taken using my samsung omnia hp as we dont want to take out the big camera coz my hubby dont want to be seem like tourist at his own place...:-) This is Gamai, a type of seaweed. It taste a lil bit salty and eaten with sour sambal belacan or lime juice.
sambal kicap eaten with gamai
And this is another type of seaweed. called birdnest seaweed. the suluks eat by mixing this seaweed with young mango or bambangan( a very sourish mango like fruit) I never get this one prounce right it is called kilau? kemilau? or kunilau or none of this.its basically raw fish of any type , in this case mackerel, soak for while in the hot boling water and mix it with mango , onion , lime juice and salt to taste. yes, it has a very strong fish smell.

junctions of life

"at a position like you, you need to prepare yourself to do things that sometimes you dont want to do.." said my boss to me one day. Just now i did that, i just talk to my subordinate about moving him to one area that many people dun want to go and move him from a very comfortable place, working in normal working hours to shift.I feel bad about that but i really have no choice. I am glad that i never have to fire anybody yet so far. But i know sooner or later the moment will come and i've to do it.hmm..life... sometimes throwing us to junctions ..and we need to choose no matter how reluctant we are...
