Opah Checks In...

Here I am, back again for the umpteenth time, with yet another promise to stay committed (and not really believing if I ever could). The flesh has been weak for the longest time now but the spirit remains willing, that much I can admit to. 

There was a time when putting pen to paper (so to speak) was as natural as doing one's daily toilette, and just as satisfying. Somewhere along the way, however, something happened. The thoughts plateaued and dimmed, lethargy set in, procrastination ensued.

The last time 'Kata Kama' saw life, on January 17, 2013, I was a freshly-minted opah (grandma), hardly a month old. Today there are three cucus in tow - Hasan, Ijaz and Hasan's little sister, Huda.

Way back in 2008 whilst on the haj pilgrimage with Pak Abu and two years later during umrah with the whole family, I shed tears at the foot of Jabal Rahmah, asking for Allah's mercy to bless my children with marriage and little ones of their own. 

Five years on, the household has expanded to include two sons-in-law and one daughter-in-law. God willing, another daughter-in-law will complete the equation come February next year.

All things considered, life has been good and kind. There had been kinks aplenty in the past and I know life may still spring a surprise or two even at this ripe age. But rest assured, I no longer sweat the small stuffs.

And this is as far as mukadimah goes. Watch this space (after all, the crazometer has been de-activated) and in the mean time, have a Kitkat!

nice mukadimah, mama keropok :D

I had magnum choc brownie while trying to think what to write for the 06052015 blog entry. I know, not a good breakfast food but i had to find some idea to write.

Transitions are good. They allow for contemplation and a re-look at changing game rules. And subsequent observations therefore will be fresher and more relevant. Good luck and all best wishes. Will be following earnestly.Thank you.

Hello Opah. Cucu sihat? Looking forward to more of your posts. Sukerrrr .

Fadhil said...

Salam and good morning Kak Kama. Nice to see you back. Let us not worry if we can keep our promise of continuing to put up posts... I'm not pretty sure if I can do it too. But writing a blog post is very much more satisfying than putting up a single line FB status update (although I don't think I'll be abandoning FB entirely, hehe).

Myanmar devotees say about the committee members of SAMNAK SAMBODHI (YIP KUM FOOK as president) are very stupid and have no Buddhist teachings at all, because they do not know how to manage the Temple

The temple committee is waiting for donations from the devotees only, they don't know anything, the Myanmar devotees also said and were very sad when it happened like in a Buddhist temple, added that we monks lived there like cows because last time we were a monk (VEN. U NANDIYA) living there, the president YIP KUM FOOK took his donation of about RM20,000.00

Myanmar devotees said about the committees in front of our monks, looked like a kind person and they were some very good committees but behind the ghost idea, we monks were very scared but we monks came to Malaysia for training only, our monks don’t care what the committees did.

We are Malaysians and we know about YIP KUM FOOK well because this YIP KUM FOOK is a big ghost in Malaysia, this YIP KUM FOOK can do everything to get money, he is not shy and does not listen to people’s gossip, but one day he will taste what he ate

If anyone likes to know and understand about YIP KUM FOOK, please go research on GOOGLE, thank you very much
