MANGAWI RINGIT

My kids...oh no, no, no... I should not call them my kids like some teachers do. Make me feel very advanced in age. Should call them my students. Ahhaaa... better yet, my pupils... my pupils... isn't using the word 'pupils' a lot more cool? I seldom use the word. Should be using it more. Similar word in Bahasa Melayu is 'murid

JUDGEMENTAL



I don't like the smell of this....



Disapprove very quickly? Judge and criticize others just so soon? 

Take time. For a while, hold your judgement.

Give 'x' a chance.

Let 'x' works out the best at the first.

Second chance?

Up to you then.

To be JUDGEMENTAL or play the GOOD SAMARITAN. 


OUTRAGEOUS



Snail mail.

"Going the Distance to Bring the People Together"
No. 1 option



     


Kesayangan Baru


Kerja keras.
Bersungguh-sungguh.

Lap bersih.
Hilangkan kotoran.

Sental.
Nyahkan minyak.

Kerana dia...
kesayangan baruku!

Ponsikou Kinorohingan.
Kerana rahmatMu...
tidak terkirakan oleh ilmu hisab...
upaya aku
ada
dia.

Apa?

Kesayangan baru.

INTIFADA

My brother told me, "A demonstration by people in Jordan was planned to be executed after Jumaat prayer. It's to show support for what the people in Egypt are up to against their government. Nonetheless, it did not take place. Maybe because of the rain..." 

I'm a froggie under the coconut shell. I was in the dark of all current issues while I was in Ulu Sugut. Uprising of the people in Egypt against their government is one of them. There is no excuses for my ignorance since there is Internet facality in school. Just what did I do in school? Awww... I'm busy with my position as the Head of English Panel. Excuses... excuses... stop with giving excuses Askidah!

Now. I'm out of the darkness, I say, "I support the Egypt uprising against Hosni Mubarak's regime..."  

Eksotika

kau nampak tuh?

 tuh...
yang angkat bakul
bakul buluh tradisi
warna kuning diraja Melayu tu!

ya!!!

uncle yang pakai topi
warna coklat tuh...

kau tidak tahu...
aku panggil tuh...
eksotika Dusun!


eksotika-eksotika Dusun...

uncle
dan
bakul buluh tradisi
buatan tangan

dua-duanya
eksotik.

waktu kecil

musim menanam - menuai padi 
macam uncle itu
aku juga pernah angkat.

 dari Kampung Matan
ke
Paka Dua.

Jalan kaki.

kalaulah
gambar aku diambil.

masa yang itu

aku yang comot
kerana lumpur sawah.

semestinya
menjadi eksotika
juga!

(sengih)


bakul buluh tradisi
wakid Dusunnya.

biarlah aku
tiada gambar
mengangkatmu
yang mungkin
boleh jadi pengingat
pada
the good old days,
pada
pelajaran awal
mengenal erti susah.

aku ada memori itu
di benak
selalu.

aku harap aku
bukan macam Dr. M kata
"Melayu mudah lupa!"

aku kan Dusun.
Dato M for Masidi belum pernah kata lagi kan?
"Dusun mudah lupa?" 

Cet...
lupa
sifat universal semua
tiada takluk pada sesuatu bangsa
harapnya aku
tidak lupalah.

Kredit untuk mama
yang meng'order'ku
mengangkat
wakid.

KAU 26, AKU 26, 26... AKU SEDAR!

Mahu ketemu
sahabat kesayangan aku...
Ummu Qurratu...
Syaziah namanya...
makin langsing
biar baru bersalin
(diam-diam aku cemburu, aku kan makin cumil!) 

Dia ada bilang padaku,
"Epen
sedar-tidak-sedar
26 sudah umur kita.
Kan?"

Aku sengih saja...
Aku bilang,
"Odoi...
saya sedar bah!
saya sedar saya 26 young...
kau 26 young...
mesti mahu sedar diri!"

Pecah ketawa...

For old good time's sake...
saya
mengimbas
meminjam
kerana sentiasa melekat di hati
ungkapan popular Ustaz Jusidin,
"Perjuangan kita belum selesai!"
biar berapapun umur kita!!!
TENTU!!!

Gambate Kudasai!
