If I could catch a rainbow ....

Looking through some old and almost worn-out files, I found stacks of printed inspirational quotes / poems which I thought of sharing.  I will once a while publish and share the ones which I love and definitely brought a lot of meaning to life so that when I am done - I can throw the files away.  But the memories stays .....

If I Could Catch A Rainbow
(by Sandra Lewis Pringle)


If I could catch a rainbow
I would do it just for you
And share with you its beauty
On the days you are feeling blue


If I could build a mountain
You could call your very own
A place to find serenity
A place to be alone


If I could take your troubles
I would toss them into the sea
But all these things
Are impossible for me


I cannot build a mountain
Or a catch a rainbow fair
But let me be what I know best
Someone who will always be there ....

They must be felt with the heart."

Trip down memory lane .... again

  

Ihsan happily doing the 'chicken dance"

KL kids jadi budak2 kampung...

Layan depa ... sambil borak2 minum petang .. 

Comotnya .. tak tau Irsyad ke Ihsan ni!

December 2011 yang lalu, aku balik kampung.  Banyak plans yang tak tertunai masa tu.  Bukan apa, bila dah dok relax kat kampung, jadi malaih.  Tapi, the important ones dapat la buat.  Rasa cukup la tu - rasa berbaloi la jugak the last trip.  21st January (CNY holidays) aku balik lagi.  It was a last minute decision and an unplanned trip.  Bila hubby cakap nak balik Kedah, aku sungguh terkejut dan terharu. Walau pun the trip is more for him to play golf at Bandar Darulaman, I can still have my share of 'excitement' there.  The girls pun tengah cuti, so molek benar la tu!  Bertolak on Saturday - jem giler - kita sampai Alor Star tengah malam.  Terus ke Hotel 'T' - nasib baik ada bilik.  Tu pun bilik yang we all nak dah fully booked, so ended up cramping in one room with two single beds.  Jadi la, nak tidog saja.

Next morning, after sending hubby off to Darulaman for his golf - berjalan2 around town sekejap, then balik rumah mak lepak there till almost maghrib.  Walaupun rumah kampung, and nothing to shout about - I love being there.  I love being surrounded with past memories. Pelik, kan?  Past is past, yes I agreed, but seronok bila dapat meng-reminisce kisah dulu2.  Dah dekat maghrib, sebelum gelap kena la balik hotel and then fetch hubby at Darulaman GC.  It was a fun day, playing with my niece and nephews, Sofeeya, Nafiz and his twin brothers - spoiling them.  Mak depa mana berani nak marah!

Esoknya sama.  Drove to Darulaman to drop hubby off for his golf - again.  Beli breakfast hantar balik rumah.  Before that, singgah kubur ayah, sedekah doa and bersihkan kubur.  20th Jan exactly 8 years ayah pergi menemui Penciptanya. Alfatihah buat ayah.  InsyaAllah, doa kami takkan pernah putus.  After sending packets of nasi lemak back home, kami keluaq pi Tesco.  The day before masa kat Tesco, nampak kedai kain, so planning-planning nak beli untuk mak for her baju kurung.  Alhamdulillah dapat beli 4 pasang for her.  Then beli some toys for the kids.  Balik rumah, same routine - lepak, makan, sembang2, gelak.  Oohh... bestnya.  We plan and hope to be able preserve the house, which needed some repairs actually.  Mudah2an plan dan harapan menjadi kenyataan.  Like the day before, I left just before maghrib.

Pagi Selasa, lepas breakfast kat area Darulaman, we drove off back to KL.  It was tiring but worth it.  Part of me felt empty and nostalgic .. again.  Agaknya dah tua kot.  Anyway, I had this faint hope in me - that aku ingin nak menghabiskan hari tua nanti at my birth place.  Doaku mudah2an dipermudah dan menjadi  kenyataan - insyaAllah...  Tak leh cakap banyak2, tak jadi terus nanti.  Banyak yang perlu difikirkan dan diselesaikan di sini.  Kita mampu merancang, ketentuan Allah swt mengatasi segala-galanya.
