My Sister's Keeper


Sara and Brian Fitzgerald's life with their young son and their two-year-old daughter, Kate, is forever altered when they learn that Kate has leukemia. The parents' only hope is to conceive another child, specifically intended to save Kate's life. For some, such genetic engineering would raise both moral and ethical questions; for the Fitzgeralds, Sara in particular, there is no choice but to do whatever it takes to keep Kate alive. And what it takes is Anna. Kate and Anna share a bond closer than most sisters: though Kate is older, she relies on her little sister. In fact, her life depends on Anna. Throughout their young lives, the sisters endure various medical procedures and hospital stays--just another part of their close-knit family's otherwise normal life. Sara, a loving wife and mother who left her career as an attorney to care for her daughter, is sometimes lost inside the single-minded caregiver she has become in her efforts to save Kate. Her strong, supportive husband, Brian, is often rendered powerless and passive by his wife's strength and determination. And their only son, Jesse, drifts, at times all but forgotten as Kate and Anna take center stage. Until Anna, now 11, says "no." Seeking medical emancipation, she hires her own lawyer initiating a court case that divides the family and that could leave Kate's rapidly failing body in the hands of fate.

The movie was adapted from the novel written by Jodi Picoult. As usual, the writer always brought up the conflict within the family and end up in the court battle. If you were a mother like Sara, will you dare to sacrifice other child in order to save another child? Sometimes we have to take or perceive life and death as it is. Its a destiny. No matter what it takes, death is not a shameful matter. Yes, there are always ways to find the remedy to cure the disease or to slow down the progress. Everybody will experience the pang of death during the last bed and it is hard to miss somebody that we love. Death is just a transition to another eternal world which that must be considered as the ultimate life. The life that will judge all the good deeds and wrong doing before we are permitted into the heaven. From earth we are created and to earth we are belonged.

Regent Park Mosque London Setiap hari Khamis malam Jumaat aku akan ke London untuk ke Algate East Mosque, Christian Street, London. Masjid ini dahulunya adalah synagogue. Apabila komunity Islam sudah bertambah di kawasan ini, terutamanya warga Bangla, maka ramai orang orang Yahudi yang berpindah ke North London. Selalunya aku akan terus dari kelas ke sana yang memakan masa selama 30 minit by train. Kadang kadang ada member teringin nak ikut tapi selalunya aku seorang lone ranger aje. Di samping dengar bayan sekali sekala seronok juga boleh jumpa dan borak dengan member2 yang lain. Di sinilah aku selalu jumpa Abang Qasim aku tuh. Kalau aku dah penat dan rasa dah lewat untuk pulang ke rumah, aku iktikaf aje di masjid. Kalau aku iktikaf Abang Qasim lah yang selalu sediakan bistra untuk aku. Sayang dia kat aku...hehehehe. Esok paginya kadang aku terpaksa ponteng kelas sebab lewat. Lagi pun subjek tu bukanya ada exam pun. Jadi week end sahaja aku selalu lepak di rumah member member aku yan...

Pokok Bunga Kertas Sekarang orang tanam pokok bunga kertas dalam pasu gantung. Bila daun dia merendang dan berbunga memang nampak cantik seperti pokok pertunia. Rasanya pokok bunga kertas ni lebih senang nak jaga lagi pun dia berbunga sepanjang tahun. Ada juga di tanam di dalam pasu yang lebih besar. Tetapi harga tiga kali ganda. Aku beli Empat pasu untuk di letak di depan rumah aku. Satu warna bright pink, peach, white and light pink. Nampak gaya ia akan menjadi koleksi terbaru aku. Dulu aku pernah tanam berbagai bagai pokok ni dan dah besar dan cantik untuk di bongsaikan. Tapi kawasan rumah sekangkang kera aku terpaksa eksport ke rumah mertua aku. Sekarang entah kemana pokok pokok itu. Actually idea untuk letak bunga kertas berjurai tu dah lama aku buat seperti di dalam gambar tu. Aku rasa dah 6 tahun aku tanam kat atas tu tapi masih juga kemetot. Aku tahu puncanya. 1. Tinggi sangat - jadi malas nak kerabat pakai tangga untuk membaja dan merumput. 2. Kurangnya baja untuk di suburkan ...

A Visit To Sg Buluh . Last week aku ke Sungai Buluh. Niat di hati nak beli pasu besar untuk aku semai pokok kemboja. Akhirnya aku lupakan saja hajat tersebut. Aku cuma beli sepohon anak pokok kedondong sahaja yang belum lagi di tanam. Oleh kerana rumah pun tak siap lagi elok aku releks dulu. Pokok bunga kertas ni pun hampir Rm6o. Mahal bukan main. Tapi memang cantik merendang. Nak cari yang biasa di jual satu beg RM5 pun dah susah dan semuanya semakin meningkat harga. Bunga Antorium ni lebih besar dari tapak tangan aku. bila nengok memang aku rasa luar biasa sikit pokok ni. Saja aku tanya harga rupanya RM 60. mahalnya mak datuk. Nanti murah lah tu. Aku rasa benih ni datang dari Thailand. Inilah pasu pasu yang aku belek belek dan tak jadi nak beli. Harganya sekarang semakin melampau lampau. Aku rasa baik aku tanam di atas tanah saja pun cantik. Tapi dengan Yusuf yang lasak ni aku kena berhati hati bila tanam di tanah. Nanti semuanya boleh jadi tunggang langgang di kerjakan oleh yusuf.
