Today is Saturday, 12 May 2007, equal to 24 Rabiulakhir 1428
Today is Yong's birthday.. I dun know the Hijriyah date but one thing for sure insyaAllah, I'll remember either one of the birthdates. She's the 1st sister in the house... born about 44 years ago in our own house in kg. She and her family live in Seberang Perai, near to UiTM and Permatang Pauh itself.
I admit that Yong and I were not really close when I was younger and that was perhaps because of our age which differ about 15 years. Just imagine that when I was 13, I've already got my 1st niece... so as me and Yong. But I'm glad that our bond has become stronger and matured a few years back especially after I got married. I believe, I've changed a lot when I'm married and it helps me a lot in our relationship... I notice many similarities between us - the fact that both shape is 'small' in compare with our remaining siblings - Kak Bib, Kak Chik and Awa (will expose them later..hehe), love vacation, can climb up trees, etc. (ermmm... what else?).
When there's a holiday or even a weekend where I've time, my fam and I will spend our time together at kg or rather at her house.. and then we'll arrange to go for a visit to Penang or at our uncle's house in Pengkalan Hulu (take about 1 hour to and fro her house. Permatang Pauh - Baling - Pengkalan Hulu). Or sometime we'll drop by at Ulu Legong hotspring. We even had visited Merbok, Lembah Bujang, Tupah and finally to Tanjong Dawai together. If we've time, we even also went for a picnic to Taiping waterfall (I can still remember vividly, that time Adam was still a 5-month baby! Luckily, he didn't act strangely when we returned).
Yong was married at her age of 27 to Abang Nua (comes from Bota Kanan) in the year 1990 just not long after our grandma died somewhere, if I'm not mistaken, in October. Later, in 1991, my 1st niece was borned and at that time I was 13 and still in form 1. The different between Amira and my youngest sister is only 5 years. Yamin came later in 1994. Somehow or rather, I still have a strong relation with Amira till now. She might has a few more kids, and we believe they were twins, but unfortunately they died and she has never talked about that and we simply don't want to touch her emotion over having more kids/babies by asking her more. Deep down inside her heart, I just know that she always wanted and put so much effort to have more kids. When she wanted to leave for Mekah to perform her Hajj a few years back, I threw her a hope that after she came back, probably she'd conceive but that's it... fate is not on her side and I feel sorry for her...
Yong is scheduled to go to Mekah again end of this month to perform her Umrah. Hope she'll be safe... wonder when is my turn.. I also want to go to Ta'if as my mom's relatives are still there. Her grandma was Ta'if originated... and died also in Mekah... From mom's story, her grandma's name is Syarifah (heritage Syarifah). Got married to her granddad who was a Banjar. Her grandma's siblings were 18. All were living in Ta'if...and I believe the 'keturunan' is still there. Our faces are merely mixed faces... there are few inherit Arabic faces.. and no wonder Adam looks like one...
Back to Yong, she is a great teacher and has passion to what she does. That has made most of her students succeeded and remember her so much. There was one time she brought her kiddos to stay at our house during hari raya. Nowadays, the age of the students must be somewhere around 30++.. When I look to the teacher nowadays, I can see so much different by the way I look into Yong's eyes... full of passion in her job... for I believe that if a teacher has a passion in what she/he does, the students will always be successful because what she/he does is coming from heart..
Maybe she doesn't know one thing... one thing for sure that I love her so much... for I have never shown my feelings for her... I just show it to Yong's kids - Amira and Yamin... Especially for Yong:-
1. Happy Birthday... hope your life is full of blessing from Allah s.w.t. I have no present for you like always... but thought.. huhu
2. Happy Mother's Day too...
3. Happy Teacher's Day too...
p/s : So lucky la.. you Yong... can celebrate so many 'days' with other people.. jealous I..
