うん by Makihara Noriyuki

お互いに形みたいなモノが
なければダメな頃もあった
何が誰かの心の支えに
なるかわからない
ずっと前に僕のキーホルダーから
もってったやつを大事につけてる
ちっぽだけど　これでも僕なんだと
言って揺（Yurasu）らして見せた

25歳の年から急に
一年一年が早いよね
あまりどこにも連れて行けなかった
もうちょっとだけ待ってろよ

他には何も言わないで
君が＜うん＞って言えたから
百回好きと言われるより
うれしくなった
他には何も言わないで
僕も＜うん＞って言えたから
ほら世界で一番短い　I love you

梅雨の晴れ間は少しだけ
次の夏の予告をする様
紫陽花（Ajisai）の坦根の前で僕らは
小さなキスをした

<綺麗になりたいと思うこと
これからも忘れずにいるから
格好いいおじさんになるよう頑張ってよ>
鼻先に指が触る
他には何もいらないから
ずっと僕のそばにいて
嬉しい気持ち伝えるのは
ちょっと下手だけど
他には何もいらないよ
こんな気持ちは初めてだよ
どんな遠くにいってももう一人じゃない

大事なことはいつも
平凡な場所にうずくまって
僕らに気づかれるのを
じっと待ってる

他には何も言わないで
君が<うん>って言えたから
百回好きと言われるより
うれしくなった
他には何も言わないで
僕も<うん>って言えたから
ほら世界で一番短い　I love you

1 Muharram 1430

Salamat tahun baru Hijrah 1430. Semoga dengan kedatangan tahun baru memberi lebih banya berkat dan ketenangan dalam hidup kita .... Insya Allah.
Hmmm ... lama dah tak menjengah blog. Dah macam bersawang sana sini. Tak tahu nak mula dari mana.
Sekarang ni dah ada 'note book' sendiri dan internet access kat rumah Insya Allah boleh lar rajin sikit menjengah blog sendiri tak pun 'merayau' menjengah blog kengkawan yang lebih senior ber'blogging'. Memang dah lama nak beli 'note book' tapi terpaksa ditangguhkan beberapa kali kerana faktur kewangan yang tak mengizinkan. Yang penting keperluan asas mesti diutamakan. Tak ada 'note book' / internet sendiri pun ... orang kata 'tak mati' lagi pun kat office pun masih boleh nak ber'internet' cuma tak berapa selesa sangat.
So, rasanya per'belanjaan' termahal tahun ni ... 'note book' brand TOSHIBA yang compact. Lepas ni kalau nak berbelanja kena fikir 3~4 kali. Hanya betul-betul perlu saja baru keluar duit. Bukannya ber'kira' atau 'kedekut' tapi dengan keadaan ekonomi tak menentu kita kena selalu ber'ingat'. Segala perancangan awal terpaksa di'rombak' semula. Yang penting berjimat.

Salam Syawal Hijrah 1429

13 Oct 2008 / 13 Syawal 1429

Untuk pengunjung dan rakan-rakan bloggers saya ucapkan :

Selamat Hari Raya .... dan Maaf Zahir Bathin.

NOSTALGIA TUJUH LIKUR

Malam Tujuh Likur
( MB: )
Abangku dengar-dengar ku berkata
Malam ini kita sambut tujuh likur
Hanyalah tinggal tiga hari saja lagi
Kita akan menyambut hari raya
( AR: )
Jangan dik jangan bimbang jangan gaduh
Pakaian anak kita dah sedia
Kuih ketupat yang abang janjikan itu
Marilah dihidangkan untuk tamu
( MB: & AR: )
Di pagi hari raya yang mulia
Marilah pergi ke rumah mertua
Bermaaf-maafan bersama
Bermaaf kita suami isteri
( MB: )
Jangan bang jangan lupa malam nanti
Bawalah anak kita bertemasya
Ke taman hiburan gembira riang-ria
Setahun sekali berhari raya
( MB: & AR: )
Marilah kita sambut hari raya
Maaf bermaafan bersukaria
Di lain tahun kita jumpa
Supaya hidup ini bahagia
Selamat menyambut hari raya

Pernah tak dengar lagu ni?? Lagu A. Ramlie dengan Maria Bachok.

Hmmm ..… Sebut jer malam tujuh likur teringat masa zaman aku budak-budak dulu. Kemeriahan minggu terakhir sebelum raya memang terasa. Tak macam sekarang puasa tak terasa macam puasa dan raya pun tak rasa macam raya.
Dulu malam-malam terakhir sebelum raya rumah-rumah seluruh kampung dok macam berlumba-lumba pasang pelita. Dari pelita buluh, lampu lip lap hinggakan pelita tin susu semua dipasang keliling rumah. Pendek kata seluruh kampung terang benderang dek cahaya pelita.
Yang main mercun ngan bunga api nya lain. Yang ber’perang’ ngan meriam buluhnya lain.
Tapi sekarang semua dah tak ada. Malam masjid lesu, lampu pelita minyak tanah dah diganti dengan pelita electric, mercun bunga api dah jadi barang larangan. Meriam buluh jangan sekali.
Lebih-lebih lagi macam kita yang duduk bandar ni suasana puasa raya dah macam tak ada apa-apa. Dah macam cuti umum biasa.
Orang cina dan India pun sama jugak tak? Kalau mereka menyambut Gong Xi Fa Chai ngan Deepavali.

Diari Ramadhan – 22 September 2008 / 22 Ramadan 1429

Handphone tak boleh called out! Tension!!! Apa tak nya bill bulan ni lebih daripada biasa. Nak ikutkan memang tak banyak buat call. Bila check bill baru perasan roaming charges masa kat Bangkok dulu adoooiiii. Naik juling bijik mata. Banyal call dari opis so nak tunggu claim, lepas raya baru masuk. Hmmm terpaksa bersabar lar tunggu gaji.

Cerita tentang puasa dan raya. Puasa aku tahun ni Alhamdulillah masih terjaga. Walau pun ada beberapa ensiden menguji keImanan. Tentang RAYA, hmm tak ada beza macam tahun-tahun yang lepas. Persiapan untuk diri sendiri memang tak ada.

Tahun ni Insya Allah aku beraya kat kampung. Kelaziman kalau raya mesti nak balik kampung. Tak sah kalau pagi raya tak ziarah kubur aruah emak. Tahun lepas aku beraya sorang-sorang. Adik beradik yang lain semua tak nak balik. Mmmmm …. malas nak bercerita.

Sebut tentang raya rindu aku kat kuih tat nenas, biskut cornflakes dan kuih makmur aruah emak buat. Kalau dulu masa aku kecik-kecik time seminggu sebelum raya ni semua tengah sibuk buat kuih. Yang tak pernah miss dalam menu kuih raya emak; bahulu, tat nenas, biskut cornflakes dan kek lapis koko.
Lain-lain option, dodol atau pun wajek.

sambung esuk

Ramadan 1429

Ramadan is a Muslim religious observance that takes place during the ninth month of the Islamic Calendar, believed to be the month in which the Qur’an was revealed to Angel Gibrail, who later revealed it to the Prohet Mohammed. It is the Islamic month of fasting, in which participating Muslims do not eat or drink anything from dawn until sunset. Fasting is meant to teach the person patience, sacrifice and humility. Ramadan is a time to fast for the sake of God, and to offer even more prayer than usual. In Ramadan, Muslims ask forgiveness for past sins, pray for guidance into the future, ask for help in refrain from everyday evils and try to purify themselves through self-restraint and good deeds.
The name "Ramadan" is the name of the ninth month; the word itself derived from an Arabic word *rmd as in "ramida" or "ar-ramad" denoting intense heat, scorched ground, and shortness of rations. It is considered the most venerated and blessed month of the Islamic year. Prayers, (fasting), charity, and self-accountability are especially stressed at this time; religious observances associated with Ramadan are kept throughout the month. Laylat al-Qadr, which is thought most probable to occur during an odd night in the last 10 days of Ramadan, so it might be the 21, 23, 25, 27, or the 29 of Ramadan (as Sunni thoughts), and nights of 19, 21 or 23 (as Shiah thoughts) is considered the most holy night of the year. It is the night in which the Quran was sent down to Muhammad. Ramadan ends with the holiday Eid ul-Fitr, on which feasts are held. During the month following Ramadan, called Shawwal, Muslims are encouraged to fast for a further six days.

The most prominent event of this month is the fasting / puasa practiced by observant Muslims. Every day during the month of Ramadan Muslims around the world get up before dawn to eat sahur, the pre-dawn meal, and perform the fajr prayer. They do not eat or drink anything after this prayer is said, until the fourth prayer of the day, Maghrib ( Sunset ), is due. Muslims may continue to eat and drink after the sun has set, until the next morning's fajr prayer.

During Ramadan, Muslims are expected to put more effort into following the teachings of Islam and to avoid obscene and irreligious sights and sounds. Sexual thoughts and activities during fasting hours are also forbidden. Purity of both thought and action is important. The fast is intended to be an exacting act of deep personal worship in which Muslims seek a raised level of closeness to God Almighty. The act of fasting is said to redirect the heart away from worldly activities, its purpose being to cleanse the inner soul and free it from harm. Properly observing the fast is supposed to induce a comfortable feeling of peace and calm. It also allows Muslims to practice self-discipline, sacrifice, and sympathy for those who are less fortunate. It is also intended to make Muslims more generous and charitable.
Those with severe health problems related to eating are exempt from fasting. One reason for this could be that lack of food and liquid in these situations could be detrimental to one's health. While fasting is not considered compulsory in childhood,(which ends at puberty), many children endeavour to complete as many fasts as possible as practice for later life.
Many observant Muslims anticipate which part of the sidereal year (as opposed to the Islamic Calendar) Ramadan will fall on. A summer Ramadan requires much longer fasting and shorter overnight periods of recovery than a winter one.
Paradoxically studies have shown that some populations actually gain weight during Ramadan. In their research Frost and Price showed it was due to compensatory increased calorie intake overnight.
Experts advice pregnant women not to fast since it might among other things increase the risk of diabetes.
In addition to fasting, Muslims are encouraged to read the entire Qur'an.
Sunni Muslims tend to perform the recitation of the entire Qur'an by means of special prayers, called Tarawih, which are held in the mosques every night of the month, during which a whole section of the Qur'an (juz, which is 1/30 of the Qur'an) is recited.Therefore the entire Quran would be completed at the end of the month.Tarawih is an Arabic phrase referring to those extra prayers. This prayer is performed after prayer solat of the night Isha’a, but before the witir rakat. Tarawih are not practiced by Shia Muslims.
Muslims also pay Zakat during the month.It is only applicable if one can afford it. For those who qualify to pay Zakaat, as per the Islamic Nisab (that is those whose wealth exceeds their necessities), of the leftover of their wealth earned in that Islamic calendar year. Although Zakat can be paid any time of the year, it has to be calculated on a year to year basis, and many Muslims use Ramadan as the month for calculation and disbursement.
Ramadan is also a time when Muslims are to slow down from worldly affairs and focus on self reformation, spiritual cleansing and enlightenment, establishing a link between God Almighty and themselves by prayer, supplication, charity, good deeds, kindness and helping others.
Since it is a festival of giving and sharing, Muslims prepare special foods and buy gifts for their family and friends and for giving to the poor and needy who cannot afford it; this can involve buying new clothes, shoes and other items of need. There is also a social aspect involved – the preparing of special foods and inviting people for the Iftar meal (the meal to break the Fast).
In many Muslim and non-Muslim countries with large Muslim populations, markets close down in the evening to enable people to perform prayers and consume the Iftar meal (the meal to end the fast) – these markets then re-open and stay open for a good part of the night. Muslims can be seen shopping, eating, spending time with their friends and family during the evening hours. During the whole Ramadan season (about 29 to 30 days) , Muslims will not eat or drink from the brink of dawn (about 1 hour and 20 minutes before sunrise) until sunset.
Events of Ramadan
Laylat al-Qadr (Arabic: لیلة القدر) literally the "Night of Decrees" or "Night of Measures", is the anniversary of two very important dates in Islam that occurred in the month of Ramadan. Muslims believe that it was the night in which the Quran was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad. Muslims believe that any acts of worship undertaken on this night are rewarded in multiple thousands in comparison to the same act of worship done on any other day. There are two schools of thought on date of this event. Some Muslims are of the opinion that it lands on the 27th night of Ramadan while others believe that it may be any one of the last odd nights.
The Islamic holiday of Eid ul-Fitr (Arabic: عيد الفطر) marks the end of the fasting period of Ramadan and the first day of the following month, after another new moon has been sighted. The Eid falls after 29 or 30 days of fasting, as per the lunar sighting. Eid ul-Fitr means the Festival of Breaking the Fast; a special celebration is made. Food is donated to the poor (‘Zakat al-Fitr’), everyone puts on their best, preferably new, clothes, and communal prayers are held in the early morning, followed by feasting and visiting relatives and friends. The prayer is two rakaahs only, and it is an optional prayer as opposed to the compulsory five daily prayers.
Muslims are encouraged to fast six days in Shawwal, the month following Ramadan that begins after Eid ul-Fitr; these days need not be consecutive. According to hadit, one who fasts the month of Ramadan and six days during Shawwal will be rewarded as though he fasted the entire year.

Cerita Pasal Kucing

Hmmm …. “keluarga” dah bertambah. Semua dah ada 10 ekor dalam sangkar : Pikoe, Ira, Fei Fei, Ninie / Queenie, Momo / Gizmo, Mei Mei / Xiao Mei dan 4 ekor anak kucing yang belum celik mata. Dan, tak termasuk si-Itam, Jahhat ngan “Anak Makcik” ( Popo kasi nick name – actually tak ada particular name nak kasi ). Tak semua orang suka kucing. Ada yang kata alah dengan bulu, tak suka bau-bauan, dan macam-macam alasan.

Memang leceh dan memenatkan. Belanja pun boleh tahan juga. Tapi bagi aku kucing yang aku ada sekarang adalah teman paling “rapat” dan “penghibur”. Tak kisah lar kalau keluar belanja seratus dua sebulan tetapi ber”baloi”. Pulangan yang aku dapat lebih berharga dari wang ringgit yang aku keluarkan. Ketenangan dan keseronokan yang aku dapat adalah yang paling berharga.

Sekurang-kurangnya “mereka” pandai menghibur :

Si Pikoe ( Pure Persian ) – Nama agak unik jugak. ( One of the main character inside my favorite cartoon “Dragon Balls” ). Ketua keluarga dan juga si-kaki bully yang aku beli masa baru berusia 2 bulan dengan harga yang agak mahal. Asalnya berbulu panjang dan berwarna putih tetapi sudah berberapa kali dibotakkan sebab bulu yang selalu berpintal dan selalu kotor. Selalu menyahut kalau namanya disebut. Agak manja dan suka kalau bulunya selalu diberus.

Si Ira – Ibu kucing yang aku pinjam dari kawan sama office. Agak garang sikit. Tapi ada masa manja nya, Ya Rabbi!!! Nak tidur pun naik atas katil. Kalau dah tidur, macam-macam posing keluar.

Fei Fei, anak Ira dengan …… ntah?? Yang pasti bukan dengan Pikoe, Kucing betina. Very smart. Tak kira apa yang aku makan dia jadi tukang sibuk “kecek” apa yang aku makan. Asalkan nampak kelibat aku, dia sudah mula meng”eow” tak kira pagi atau malam.
Oh!!! Ya ….. she got new “baby” se”ekor” baru seminggu. Harapkan perut jer besar tapi yang keluar sekoq jer!!! Anyway, Pikoe & Fei Fei congrat!!!
Anak Ira dengan PIKOE; Ninie ( Asalnya nak panggil nama Queenie, panjang sangat pendek kan jadi Ninie ), Momo ( Nama kucing yang dulu – Full name aku letak nama GIZMO ) dan Xiao Mei ( Yang paling kecil dari tiga ekor ) . Ninie & Momo agak manja. Cuma si Xiao Mei agak liar sikit. Memang dari kecil saiz dia agak kecil berbanding Ninie dan Momo. Dan, semestinya jadi mangsa buli Ninie dan Momo.

Kucing-kucing BOHJAN – Itam / Jahhat / Anak Makcik. Yang selalu ada kat rumah macam biasa si Itam. Jantan se-ekor ni pelik sikit. Nak manjakan dia kena tepuk kuat-kuat badan dia. Manja nya lain, kalau dah meleseh-leseh kat kita suka sangat duduk kat kaki. Sampai nak bergerak pun susah.

Jahhat, adik beradik si Itam yang juga anak kepada Ujang cucu kepada Gizmo. Asalnya masa kecik-kecik dulu suka gigit orang ntah macam mana lekat nama panggil Jahhat. Perangai lebih kurang macam Itam tapi liar sikit. Jarang balik rumah. Kalau time nak makan baru balik. Lebih kurang, kira jantan kaki rayau juga, merangkap kaki pukul kat area rumah aku.

“Anak Makcik,” pelik namanya kan?? Popo yang kasi nama. Selalu, lepak kat rumah temankan si Itam. Tukang layan Ninie, Momo dan Mei Mei berkejar turun naik tangga.

Tenteng 4 ekor anak kucing yang belum celik mata. Nanti dah besar sikit aku cerita. Sebab, nak cerita sekarang pun tak tahu apa nak cerita apa. Yang pasti, rumah aku nanti
