Majlis Baca Yasın . Selalunya setiap malam jumaat ada majlis baca yasin dan doa selamat. Sama sama doakan yang tersayang di tanah air khasnya dan seluruh umat Nabi S.A.W. amnya akan mendapat taufik dan hidayah serta kebekatan dalam hidup. Tapi baca yasin saja lah tak ada pulut kuning atau nasi minyak. Tekong tetap adalah Tuan Hajı Molvi Maulana Daud Supari. Kalau dia balik Malaysia nampaknya tak adalah majlis ini. Jadi rasanya kena adalah pelapis seterusnya. Sebab itu lah Haji kita ni dah tak balik dekat tujuh bulan sebab tak ada orang nak ganti buat doa selamat. Aku pun turut bersimpati. Hebat pengorbanan Haji kita ni. mungkin dia dah dapat sifat malaikat yang tak bernafsu lagi. . Dua harı lepas tetiba ada lagi majlis baca yasın. Rupanya si Azam(dıa lagi.....) mınta doakan nenek dıa yg akan menjalani operatıon dalam masa terdekat. Bertuah nenek dıa dapat cucu yang penyayang macam Azam nı.....memanglah dia intan payung....gunung ledang ....nenek dia.... Jadi kami ramai ramai bacalah ya

Presıdent's Visit Kami dı beritahu bahawa Presıdent nak visit tapi bila masa dan ketika yang tepat kami pun tak tahu. Kadang president ni visit ikut suka hati dia saja. Tak ada protokol langsung........orang kata sempoi. Jadi, dı Fab Yard ada lah gantung bendera bendera yang bewarna warni macam rainbow di sepanjang jalan untuk meraikan dia.

Under 18 Football Team - SMKBSB My son ıs squartıng at the front row, second from the left . Thıs is my son's football team. They had a league match last week and managed to secure the bırth up to the quater final. Last year I was accompanying the team when my son was playing for under 15. This year I failed to join the team. But I passed my support from behınd. I hope next year they will manage to crawl up to the final and I intend to provide full assıstance to the team. . What really drawn back my enthusiasm was that the school did not send the under 15 team of no reasons. Only god knows. I asked my son, Safwan why, he himseft cannot explain. I had allowed him to buy new soccer boots before the match day. I was frustrated, annoyed the way that teacher was handling. Irresponsible. If you have any problem why didn't you come forward to resolve the problems. If money was the concerns, I whole heartedly willing to sacrifice and donate some money to the team. Teacher, don't ki

Grave Secrets by Kathy Reichs Yes!....I've finished my second novel within a week. I'm on the right track now and I have another three novels to complete. Should I start now or rest for a while? Hhmmm..... The third novel probably I will start during my journey to Istanbul next week end. I feel that my timetable is squeezing me tight to finish other projects that are still waiting in the line. . The story was about Dr. Temperence Brennan, an anthropologist to uncover the death of missing women and children in Guatemala City and the murder of tenage girls. I will give 3.5 stars for the magnificent write up.

Kaka To Find Zara . Kaka is a permanent resident in our camp. Every morning he will come to our cafeteria and have some milk. Lunch and dinner he will never miss. He resided in this camp earlier than me. My friend told me that they collected her at rubbish dumping area. He was thin, dirty and weak. But now he is cute and chubby with excessive food available for him to finish. . When I was having dinner yesterday, my friends told me that they saw Kaka playing with Zara. I was confused because I have searched in so many places around the camp and at the contractor's area. Nothing was positive that she is still alive. I was really distressed. My friend confidently informed that the cat that they saw was really Zara. They confirmed the picture in my blog. Ok...I believe you and that make me relieved. . Then I brought Kaka to my room and nicely told him to find Zara. Bring her to me dead or alive. It is a huge responsibilty for Kaka to accomplish my mission. Once you find her we will ce

A Visit To Ahmet's House . Ahmet orang local sini. Dia kerja apa aku tak pasti di sini tapi dialah yang jaga makan dan minum waktu supper. Selalu dia bekalkan roti yang di buat oleh isterinya. Bila aku ke surau Ahmet mesti ada dan kalau dia awal, dia lah yang azan. Baik, akhlak mulia dan beriman. Aku respect sungguh dengah kecekalan dia walau pun hidup dialam suasana sebegini. memang aku tabik dan hormat pada Ahmet. Kadang aku jadi malu sebab akhlak aku mungkin tak semurni dirinya. . Suatu hari aku ajak Haji dan Azam ( macam three stooges plak) untuk pegi rumah Ahmet. Setelah semuanya set aku pun bagitau Ahmet and set an appointment. Aku pun risau jugak sebab dengsan gaji dia yang alah kadar nanti terpaksa beralas perut untuk menjamu kami makan. Pada hal kami hanya mahu ziarah biasa sahaja. So kita set hari Sabtu lepas zohor untuk kerumahnya. . Mula kami ke bazar sebab Hj nak beli kasut. Maklum sekarang dah semangat nak bersukan dan Azam pulak sibuk nak beli jaket. Aku rasa dia ni

The High Chaparral Vs The Savannah . Today, as I was travelling to Turkmenbashi with my colleagues, I spotted a camel. It might belong to somebody but freely gazing the schrubs and vegetations. It looked very hairy from the neck down to the hump. I ask the driver to stop and asked Azam to take a photo cos he was sitting near to the window. . This is the surrounding of our site. Remote from human community. Only patches of hard vegetations cover the earth. Now spring is approaching and the area gradually covered by green grasses. The difference from the high chapparal is that we dont have cactii. If your drive along the road you can find oasis down the valley. As you drive along you can view the sheapard was guarding the sheeps and cattle. . When I think of it.....I'm leaving in a very different world now. Obviously the savannah has its own character to explain...

Maulidul Rasul II Yesterday we were invited by Mr Raja (Not the king in actual meaning) to gotong royong for the maulidul rasul feast that going to happen at night. I was so lazy to go coz there are many things to complete such is updating my blog, finishing my novel and resume my stitching. I was having breakfast after I played table tennis and Haji reminded everybody again about the invitation. I did not comment anything coz I possitively sure I'm not going. While I was enjoying doing my stitching somebody knocked my door. Who the hell this people were. I was reluctant to open the door but I was forced by my anxiety. Do you know who are there???? Dengan muka kesian rupanya Haji dan Azam...hhmmmm...dah tak boleh bagi reason lagi. Then I pick my jacket and head on for the rewang.... Here are few photos I managed to capture during rewang time but the night event I just enjoyed my dinner...... Inilah pakar pakar masak tu. Aku pun tak berapa kenal tapi rasanya mereka ni dari drilling

Amalkan Memberi Salam Hari ini aku nak cerita perihal memberi salam. Sepanjang hidup aku, orang yang ringan mulut untuk memberi salam adalah orang Turkmenistan. Rasa penat nak jawap. Nak buat macam mana kalau tak jawap berdosa pulak sebab menjawap salam itu wajip. Baik lelaki mahu pun perempuan. Baik tua mahu pun muda. Waktu pagi tepat pukul 8.00 pagi aku dah ada di ofis. Kadang bila anak anak dara clerk masuk aje opis terus toleh ke arah aku memberi salam. Aku dengan tersipu-sipu jawap lah salam mereka itu. Aku terfikir juga adalah baik kiranya amalan ini dapat di lakukan di tanah air aku sendiri. Rasanya rakyat negara aku berat mulut skit nak beri salam. Aku doakan salam yang di beri akan memberi mereka kekuatan untuk kuat dan amalkan kalimah Allah. Semoga Allah makbulkan doa aku. . Di pintu masuk ofis ada terdapat message undangan perkahwinan. Nama anak teruna tu kalau tak silap Abdullahyev. Maksudnya nama mereka mereka ini telah di rusiakan dari arab. Kalau nama member aku katakan

Maulidur Rasul Tomorrow is Maulidul Rasul in Turkmenistan. In fact the Maulidul Rasul is also celebrated in Malaysia today and was declared as public holiday. So the office will be closed tomorrow. We are invited for the doa selamat tomorrow at our supply base manager's house. After isyak prayer just know we were invited for the rewang or gotong royong for makan makan at his house tomorrow morning. The meal will be served after friday prayer. The menu will be satay, bihun goreng , bubur kacang and many more I supposed. I think I just go to eat. Heheheh ...bit lazy to participate for the gotong royong . . Ahmet came to my office this morning. We talked a lot about project...how to tidy up and make it more effective and efficient... talking about the progress...talking about engineering. I comprehend his concerns and I threw few of my concerns as well. Later we dragged our conversation to talk about politics...life...family and many more. It ended up nearly two

How Do Feel Yusuff?? I called my wife yesterday. She told me that Yusuff was not feeling well and he caught a fever. Hhhmmm....I envisaged that the fever will subside very soon if just a normal fever. My wife further told me that she rushed to the clinic in town about 12.00 a.m the night before. Just another precaution to ensure that nothing worst will come. His operation undergone last month still lingering fresh in my mind. Pity him and pity my wife too. . I called my wife again today to receive new updates about his health. Thank god he is fine now but he insist to be pampered and cuddled all the time. I honestly hope that my wife fully understood what is in my mind right now. May Allah bless all of us and never give up hope for praying.

Waktu Yang Sementara Suatu hari aku ke bazar. Aku lihat seorang wanita tua menjual kuaci bunga matahari. Lalu datang seorang lelaki tua datang untuk membelinya. Aku jadi sayu. Tiba tiba hati aku terdetik untuk mengambil gambar mereka. Lalu aku teringat bahawa suatu masa aku kan begini kalau di panjangkan umur. Aku tak sesegar dan sekuat seperti waktu muda. Aku terus fikirkan lagi, adakah masih ada harapan untuk aku meneruskan hidup hingga ke hari tua. Bagaimana kah suasana meniti hari tua.......seribu pertanyaan dan harapan. . Orang alim umpamakan hidup dan mati bagai buah kelapa. Belum tentu yang tua akan gugur dahulu, malah kemungkinan yang muda dan putik akan gugur dahulu. Tak semestinya manusia akan jumpa Ilahi apabila meniti senja tetapi mati tak mengenal waktu. . Beberapa hari lalu rakan sekerja di sini kehilangan adik lelaki. Di beritahu bahawa adiknya kemalangan semasa menunggang motosikal. Ahad lalu kami sama sama membaca tahlil dan yasin untuk arwah semoga di golongkan bersa

Nur Syamim Alia Dear Syamim, How are you my dear...... I try to get hold of you when I called home but you were always not around. Umi told that you were at school or tuition. Hhhmmmm.......Umi mentioned that you got number 10 in your class and congratulation for that. I know not that easy to arrive to that number since you are in the top class. But I really hope that you will make further effort to prove that you can do better. How about your tuition with Cikgu Haniff ? Umi said that you really enjoy the class. I have done my part to arrange all of you for tuition before I left and hopefully you will benefit from it. My very last message please take good care of yourself, be a good girl, take care of your study, reading quran and praying and please help umi to organise the house and take care of your sister and brothers too.

My Daily Routine I got to rearrange my daily activity now. There are few activities that i used to, need to be scrapped out. I missed my gardening very much and I really hope that my wife and the children will take good care of my garden and start to propogate the almost dead plant in the compound. Prune and groom them again to look more lively and fresh. I missed my car too and unable to take Yusuff especially for a ride after return from work. My wife will hold him beside me and he stays there quietly and insist to be in the car for sometimes. I will miss the kisses from Syahadah and Ikhlas...and I will miss talking to my sons about football and about school. Hhmmmm...I missed everybody and I really hope that my daily routines will heal all the misses that I adore for the whole of my life... I almost finishing my novel. There are few more chapters to go and I would anticipate by Monday I will complete. There are 4 more novels to go and I attempt to finish before I return home. The c

Waiting For Spring Today is cold. Not like yesterday even few days back where the sun was shining smilingly. This morning I got to put on my jumper to keep me warmer. People said that the wind came from Kazarkstan that effect the drop of temperature....hhmmm. We tought that the winter almost saying good bye and gradually dissappear with its own memories. It seems that the change will further for sometimes. We have been dreaming for spring to come faster. For us to enjoy the green and the leaves and the sea. The chirping of birds and colourful flowers. The time to eat more grapes and probably fishing. Get rid of those chilled and gloomy faces. Waiting patiently to enjoy the games, volleyball, football and tennis. We had enough moments trapping in the room with snooker, pool and table tennis. Tired of listening to the same karaoke with unprofessional voices. Anyway this is life in the camp...... Nobody cares.....

Albina Gave Me a Cat In some occasions, I can turn a bit crazy.....heheheheh.... When I arrived here I was thinking of having a cat. I went to town searching around for a cat and probably kitten is better. I came to office and was telling the girls how can I have a cat. Finally Albina told me that she got a kitten (almost as big as a cat) and she was willing to give away her kitten to me. Then, last Sunday I went to town to buy all the staff to welcome my new partner. Albina brought her(the big kitten which is obviously the size is not similar to our local cat) to me yesterday after I told her that everything already prepared. I waited for her very early morning and I saw Albina carried her wrapping with a cloth to prevent from cold. I was smiling and excited when I saw her and I took a box immediately to bring her to my room. She was quite frightening when I hold her and tend to recognise me later. I told Albina that I will call her Zara Now I have a companion and do what ever talk

Banyaknya Pilihan . Hari ini aku keluar lagi. Aku nak beli kelengkapan baru sebab ada orang nak kasi aku anak kucing...heheheh. So aku ada temanlah untuk bermain dalam bilik. Aku beli besen untuk dia ke toilet dan bekas makanan. Pasir aku boleh ambil di sebelah banglo aku ni. Pasal nak bersih no hal sebab ada cleaner datang tiap tiap hari. Lagipun di sini aku memang banyak masa sebab masa untuk keluarga tak ada lagi. CUma masa untuk aku talipon sahaja. . Esok aku akn beritahu Albina yang aku dah sedia terima kucing yang dia janjikan. Aku nampak bersemangat ..harap harap tak adalah hangat hangat tahi ayam. Semalam masa aku ke pet shop bila nengok budgie to teringin juga nak beli. Boleh juga borak borak dengan dia bila boring di bilik. Sebenarnya nak kata boring tak adalah jugak. Dalam bilik pun banyak benda yang nak di buat. Nak blogging lah, baca novel la, nak menjahit lah. Boleh dikatakan memang pack. Kalau ke ofis itu lain cerita pulak. Lepas tu nak bersenam dan main table tennis la.

The Ugly Duckling Have you read the ugly duckling during your childhood? I still remember how my teacher narrated the story when I was at the primary school, standard one. It was about the black ugly duckling that was shunned by all its family due to its appearance. One day when he grew up his appearance totally changed and become the most beautiful swan. Spring will arrive very soon and winter will be gone. No more thick jacket, jumper, sweater and shivering. I appreciate spring where the flower starts blooming from its hibernate. The daphedil, tulip and hydreangia will turn the earth into wonderful colours. The roses will spread its fragrance into the air and the surrounding will be so amazing. I took the oppurtunity to snap few pictures where the swan gently cruising at the Caspean Sea. Unfortunately the photo was not that good. If I have the magnifying lence for sure I can take a good shot. You can see the white swan from far. Sooner or later they will migrate again to other beau

Kasut Untuk Yusuff Semalam aku ke pekan Turkmenbashi. Adalah benda nak beli seperti kacang, soap dan sebagainya. Kalau tak keluar lepak dalam kem saja pun boleh gila di buatnya. Di samping itu nak juga cari benda benda lain. Tetiba masa dok jalan jalan tu aku ternampaklah kasut kasut yang comel. Terus aku teringatkan anak aku yang bongsu, Yusuff. Mesti cantik dan qute bila dia pakai. Kasut kebanyakan berasal dari China dan banyak barang barang yang lain juga berasal dari China. . Aku pun tanyalah berapa harganya. Si pemjual kata dalam 215Manat. Baru dalam 10USD untuk dua pasang. Kalau nak comparekan dengan harga di Malaysia rasanya dah murah tu. Aku minta kurang lagi tapi dia tak kasi...Hmmmm...tak apalah sebab banyak masa lagi untuk bershopping sebelum balik ke Malaysia. Kasut budak budak perempuan pun fancy-fancy. Kalau aku beli pada Safiya mesti dia suka sebab dia pandai bergaya. Entahlah....semua ini mengingatkan anak anak aku........
