Lonely, I am So Lonely…
My Goldfish, Nano has been a widow for the past few months. All the other 3 goldfishes died, one after another. Hubby was so sure that Nano is a guy fish, but I persistently knew that she must be a girl. No man could last few months without the company of someone. Ever since the devastating lost of the other 3, Nano has been very healthy and did not even show any sign of deteriorating. When those 3 died of constipation which led to dropsy, rotting fins and tails infection, I was hoping that Nano would follow soon. I was so frustrated with goldfish at that time. The medical trip to Pets Wonderland in Midvalley was worthless after hundreds spent on the medication. After Kenit died of dropsy, I bought Nano and Piko to accompany Si Gemuk. This time I bought Nano and Piko from a different pet shop. Not even a month passed by, Si Gemuk died because of rotting fins. It must be contagious as Piko followed Gemuk death after few days. I guess Nano must be one kind of survivor with higher antibody. I’ve been contemplating the thought to buy another pair of goldfish to accompany Nano, but what if those new pair bring harmful germs and infection which lead to Nano’s demise. She must be so lonely, swimming alone without any fish friends in the tank, but for her own good I rather let her be…

Mampukah Suami, Sanggupkah Isteri?
Petikan dari The Star Jumaat 19 Ogos 2005, Both the newspaper and Mingguan Malaysia also highlighted a statement by Kelantan Mentri Besar Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat calling on wives to keep in mind the “problems” faced by aging virgin women, whose number has increased in the country, and not stop their husbands from marrying again. These wives, he said, should not prevent their husbands’ plans by reacting violently as long as the latter could afford to take another wife. “Just think of the situation faced by the aged virgin. She will be forced to remain unmarried when in actual fact, there is a man who desires her. Wives should thus give these men room. “These things will not be resolved as long as people only seek to fulfil their own desires but not think of others’ desires as well,” he said.
Secara peribadi, dari teorinya MQ tak membangkang poligami ni, ye la benda dah dihalalkan, kenapa pulak ada hak kita nak haramkan. Tapi rasanya dengan keadaan semasa dan tahap keimanan yang tak seberapa kenalah ukur baju di badan sendiri. Termampukah suami yang nak beristeri lebih dari satu tu mengharungi hidup berumahtangga dengan tanggungjawab berlipat ganda. Sedangkan isteri yang seorang pun kadang tak terlayan kehendak dan keinginan, ini kan pula lebih dari seorang. Nafkah yang diberi bukan setakat zahir saja, batinnya bagaimana. Mampukah suami membelai setiap emosi setiap dari isteri tu, rungutannya, keluhannya, sakit demamnya, bukan lagi setakat hal di tempat tidur, tapi benda2 lain yang lebih mendalam dan rumit. Kalau setakat nak beristeri lebih dari satu untuk nafsu semata-mata, tak guna la nak tegakkan hadis dan hukum kalau gunakan cuma untuk kepentingan sendiri.
Dan sebagai seorang isteri pula, MQ selalu muhasabah diri sanggupkah berkongsi kasih dan perhatian suami. MQ pernah terbaca, suami adalah jambatan untuk seorang isteri itu ke syurga. Mana-mana isteri yang cukup amalannya dan taat kepada suami, kunci syurga sudah ada di tangan, pilihlah mana2 pintu yang diingini. Walaupun dijanjikan payung emas di syurga buat isteri pertama yang sanggup dirinya dimadukan, Allah angkat isteri pertama menjadi ketua segala bidadari kelak namun MQ rasa lagi takut memikirkan akibat kalau suami terpaksa mengharung azab neraka sebab tak mampu berlaku adil untuk setiap isteri. Kalau diri bukannya taraf iman Saidina Ali, tak perlu lah berharap ada isteri setabah Saidatina Fatimah. Cukuplah isteri yang seorang di jaga dan dididik, biar sama-sama dapat berbahagia di syurga kelak.

MMU 6th Convocation 2005
After a year plus waiting for the invitation to MMU Convocation ceremony, it finally arrived. Few changes were made by MMU Convocation committee this time compared to the year in which I attended my convocation. For example,the invitation card and car sticker were not sent to home, we were forced to claim them at Dewan Seri Negeri in Melaka either on Friday or Saturday since my husband’s session was on Sunday. The graduates were required to test their smart card or 64K MyKad in order for their name to be called outloud on the stage.
Eventhough I found it such a hassle to do in the first place, but when the moment came, as the big screen showed my husband’s name and his degree title, I felt all the pride and joy engulfed my big heart at that time. For all the years he struggled to get the degree, all the hurdles and obstacles he overcame, I could never explain how proud I was at that time. Plus this year the chancellor Tun Dr Siti Hasmah handed out the scroll personally, unlike my time when we received the scrolls from the Dean of Faculty.
And when the MMU song Permata Dunia were sang by the two undergraduates, (I think one of them must be a foreigner), I felt very proud to be a part of MMU graduates community. As the ceremony ended after all the long speeches, the graduates jumped and threw their mortar boards in joy, I realized that eventhough the journey to the Degree world has came to completion, the long road ahead is still waiting. There will be more real life assignments, endurance tests that create heartache, quizzes which bring headache and bigger world examinations to take, and this time no syllabus is available for us to follow, no one particular textbook to read in order to pass all the life test with honour. What we have is only our guts, great patience and all the accumulated life experiences to lead the way. May we never give up and endlessly find the wisdom in life.

Minggu Yang Sibuk
Minggu ni banyak benda yang berlaku, persiapan terakhir untuk ke Konvo ke 6 MMU di Melaka, ambil robe di SUPB Sdn Bhd di Sri Gombak, lawatan ke Klinik Pergigian Alam Permai, (suami tampal gigi and undergo root canal treatment), nak balik kampung ambil MIL untuk join konvo di Melaka dan banyak lagi yang bakal terjadi.
Semuanya sebab suami nak ambik scroll atas stage, can be considered as one of important events in my life apart from my graduation, bertunang and kawin ceremony…heheh..at last dpt jugak suami ku berkonvo. Ingatkan MMU dah tak nak jemput sebab ada hutang kat finance yang tak langsai. Session suami Ahad petang, harap2 la masa tu stalls jual bunga segar nak lelong bunga2 diorang…boleh la jimat skit..kalau tak satu bouquet dah cecah 30-40, dah boleh cover bayar Tol balik Pantai Timur antar MIL balik kampung..isk isk…tapi MQ dah siapkan bouquet comel sendiri…cuma bunga plastik la kan…walaupon tak berbau wangi dan tak natural, but I still think that it’s the thought that really counts. Lagipon bouquet bunga matahari ni suami boleh letak kat meja kat ofis kalau dia nak…cuma belum tulis kad lagi..kad pon nak buat sendiri…semua kalau boleh nak buat sendiri…for me personal touch is very important… lagipon mmg rasa seronok bila dpt buat benda2 kraftangan ni…:))
Nanti lepas selesai majlis konvo tu boleh la bercerita lebih lanjut…tak habis lagi nak kemas bilik2 tetamu ni…ada org nak dtg overnight baru la kalut nak berkemas…MIL plak tu kan..kena la extra kemas skit, mungkin nephew pon ada sekali nak bermalam sebelum balik Labuan…
oh ye… my lemon cheesecake dpt A+ dr SIL…dia kata sedapnya..kalau ada lagi dia nak…tak pe nanti boleh bakar lagi bagi kat SIL…seronok memasak ni kalau ada org suka mkn, tambah2 kalau org tu pon pakar memasak…rasa mcm kat sekolah dpt bintang n cikgu puji pulak…tu yg semangat tu….
