Sukan Olimpik 2008 sudah bermula. Pelbagai jenis sukan dipertandingkan. Aku sempat menonton acara kegemaranku, memanah semalam dan ahad lepas. Memang seronok. Tahniah kepada pasukan Malaysia kerana berjaya ke pusingan suku akhir. Lepas ni try masuk semi final pula, kalah sikit ajer, cube lagi.
I had a dinner with old friends in KL just now. I kind of agree with the issue brought forward by my friends that in Malaysia, we feel spiritually lower compared to while being in the UK. We we wondering why is it so? I try to reflect upon myself and realised that many things that I used to do in the UK previously is not continued or done less frequently. May Allah help me regain my spiritual strength.
while riding a car in KL with my friends, we had a joke about being true Malaysian.
A true Malaysian must be racist. They have no sense political of correctness in daily conversation and always relate people according to their race. Despite that, they always associate certain values or attributes to each race.
Well, may it is wrong, but I found it is quite apparent especially among the Malays within my sphere of life.
Bila balik ni macam-macam nikmat dapat. Jalan-jalan, jumpa saudara-mara, mandi laut, mandi sungai dan banyak lagi benda-benda yang lama tak dapat dan tak ada di UK. Kadang-kadang terasa risau pula, apa makna semua ini, takut-takut ada sesuatu menanti di hujungnya. Maklumlah nikmat yang diberikan bukan sia-sia. Pasti ada maknanya. Semoga ianya berakhir dengan kebaikan.
Semakin lama aku kembali ke tanah air, semakin banyak aku jumpa bukti benarnya kata-kata pepatah yag dipelajari ketika sekolah rendah dulu. ye la, di sinilah tanah tumpahnya darahku. Adik-beradik dan ahli keluarga semuanya di sini. Kalau makanan, sini lagi sedap. Mudah cari yang halal dan berkualiti. Banyak jeis pula tu. Kat sana makan chiken and chips je la memanjang. Tak sihat betul. Surau dan masjid banyak, mudah solat. Tadi semasa duduk-duduk menunggu adikku membeli air kelapa, baru perasan kat sini ujian mata kurang sikit la, alhamdulillah, muslimat yang menutup aurat lebih ramai. Tenang sikit rasanya. Mungkin tu la berkatnya duduk kat negara yang Islamnya bagus, mungkin orang lain akan kata tak betul sangat. Alhamdulillah, syukur duduk kat Malaysia.
