Kemesraan

Suatu hari Dikala kita duduk ditepi pantai

Dan memandang ombak dilautan yang kian menepi

Burung camar terbang bermain diderunya air

Suara alam ini hangatkan jiwa kita

Sementara sinar surya perlahan mulai tenggelam

Suara gitarmu mengalunkan melodi tentang cinta

Ada hati membara erat bersatu

Getar seluruh jiwa tercurah saat itu

Kemesraan ini janganlah cepat berlalu

Kemesraan ini ingin kukenang selalu

Hatiku damai...jiwaku tentram disampingmu

Hatiku damai...jiwa ku tentram bersamamu

Last night I attended a kenduri doa selamat, so normally during kenduri we get to see friends and family, recites prayers and tahlil together. The part where reciting prayers and tahlil are the part that I like most because when we said our prayers, I can feel that Allah s.w.t is listening to us and all you can feel is peace, nothing else matters. Another part that I like is, makan time where food is everywhere. Lauk pauk jak mo 10 macam, lain lagi dessert, kuih-muih, kek, coffee and tea, air bandung and fruits...apa ngak kenyang macam ular sawa!

What I've just described is how a normal kenduri affairs are carried out but last night the host invited a group of anak yatim from Rumah Anak Yatim Islam Tawau. They came in to join us for the feast, ramai betul and meriah sangat! So, after the feast they performed few songs for us siap accompanied with keyboard organ lagi (please correct me if I'm wrong, ngamkah tu namanya?). Syioklah tengok dorang nyanyi walaupun ada sengau sikit and sumbang but that is besides the point. Then they sang their last song, which was "Kemesraan" made popular by Broery Romantika. Terus I rasa sangat sayu especially part chorus, "kemesraan ini janganlah cepatlah berlalu..." I felt like my heart is crying because knowing that we are so lucky to have our parents with us to see us grow up to become what we are today. You see, they were jovial and happy despite hadn't had the chance to experience parents' TLC.

Which makes me wonder, sometimes we take things for granted, thinking that our loved ones will always be there for us...but what if one day they are gone? I can't imagine how I am going live without my parents... God knows. I just hope, Allah s.w.t panjangkan umur mereka so I have the chance to give something back to them. Amin. No, it's not just money (macamana juga I want to return their endless investments with my reckless spending? wink-wink). Actually, it's the quality time that we spend with our parents, itu yang mahal tu...and off course TLC goes a long way...hey, did you tell your parents that you love them today? Did you ever say thank you to them? Hmm...better go and tell them (not through blog, fb or sms ya?) in person.
