Auntie supposes today is a good day as any to start updating auntie's blog again after over a month of hiatus. As usual, been busy doing this and doing that. In the mean time, many events came and went without auntie able to 'report' them on blog. Of course, auntie's main excuse was the lack of workable camera for auntie to put pictures with words but now auntie got meself a nice carry-in-handbag camera, so hopefully, auntie boleh update blog more regularly, presumably to the delight of friends and family yg still dok baca blog ni.
1st event auntie nak report (although auntie didn't have own pictures of it) was the 4zero reunion celebrating of auntie's school friends. This reunion is to celebrate our batch reaching the age of 40 this year and still feeling fourteen. Sadly,auntie did not get to attend the reunion in Pullman Resort Putrajaya coz auntie was conducting a training in KL and then auntie went home to Kuantan for a family event (so more past-event entries to come!). The picture above was the cool design that the gang had come up with to signify the celebration. It was also the design on the sexy apron that everyone got for door gifts (auntie will post pictures of auntie's apron later).
Tapi, walaupun auntie tak pergi, auntie telah berjaya mengirim sebuah puisi sebagai dedikasi kepada kawan2. Auntie pernah dikenali disekolah sebagai penulis puisi yg agak kompeten si sekolah dulu (chewah) so tak heranlah mengapa madam presiden kepada AJK penganjuran yg dikenali sebagai PGK (Pompuan Gila Kuasa)telah meminta auntie menulis sajak utk event tersebut. Thanks, Tatee for the request. If was my great pleasure.
Sajak auntie dibaca oleh soft-spoken, calm and collected Shahnaz,now a teacher in Kedah. Tajuk sajak is "Cerita Kita 2". Cerita Kita 1 was presented in our reunion in 2006. So, here goes:
CERITA KITA 2
Kawan-kawan,
Kita ketemu lagi,
Bukan hanya di jasad dan mata,
Tapi jua di hati nurani,
Persahabatan kita ini tidak mengenal jurang fizikal
Kerana ia tertambat jauh di sudut kalbu yang suci.
Kawan-kawan,
Pernahkah kita terfikir saat dulu,
Bertemu dalam sunti,
Usia manusiawi belum kenal kendiri,
Tapi kita sudah perlu mengerti,
Tanpa ibu ayah bersama di sisi,
Kita sesama mengisi kekuatan mencari hala
Cabaran hidup remaja
Kawanku,
Kita bersama seperlapan usia,
Kita bersaudara sehayat yang ada,
Empat belas, empat puluh, hanya angka,
Sahabat sezaman di hati sentiasa.
Duhai sahabat sezaman,
Kita bertemu berpandang mata, berlapang dada,
Yang tiada bersama, dalam ingatan kita tetap serupa,
Yang pergi tak kembali, usah dilupa walau seketika,
Al-Fatihah usah lekang di bibir untuknya.
Marilah dalam pertemuan ini kita panjatkan,
Syukur yang tawaddhu’ kepada Ilahi,
Kerana dengan kehendak-Nya jua kita bertemu lagi kali ini,
Dan marilah pohon doa pada Yang Esa,
Hari ini penuh makna bahagia
Dan biar berkumpul kita saat ini
Bukan untuk akhir kali.
