Hari ketiga 2020...banyaknya cerita duka semalamnya.

Its 8.30 now.
A beautiful morning. The sun is showing her face ,smiling gently down on earth. In a few hours,come noon,it will be raging hot. Very hot . Its been dry for over a month in this region without rain.
Last night,I watched ABC...or is it some other channel.
The main news is about the bush fire still raging in Australia.
Allahu...ngerinya. Unimaginable. Local tv channels dont show much of this tragedy enfolding there this very moment.
Langit Kuning Jingga.
Api marak menyala hingga  tinggi pokok.Membakar dengan rakusnya.
Burning tinder flying around.
Hundreds of people trapped. No where to go.
Jam 9 pagi hari masih kelam.
Berpuluh orang maut setakat ini.
Kapal Navy digunakan utk membawa mangsa2 ke tempat selamat
Di Mallacoota ... mereka dinasihatkan terjun ke dalam laut jika api marak hingga ke pantai.

Scenery hanya tergambar dalam filem selalunya. Namun semua diatas bukan khayalan tetapi kenyataan.
Dan khabarnya...Hari Jumaat dan Sabtu mereka akan berdepan dengan situasi lebih haru biru.!

Ya Allah..selamatkan mereka walau mereka berlaianan bangsa dan agama dari ku.

Semalam juga aku terima banyak berita...tidak berapa gembira.

Tentang perletakan jawatan MM...Dr. Mazlee Malik. Sedih mengenangkan seorang menteri yang berbuat seupaya dia utk pendidikan negara terpaksa mengaku kalah. Letak jawatan.
Kancah politik bila memasuki skop pendidikan memang tak terjangkakan..

Disatu sudut pula,berita anak2 pun aku terkesan sama.
Masing masing dengan tekanan kerja dan hidup .
Apa boleh ku buat selain meminjam telinga utk mendengar. Sesekali memberi pandangan. Semoga mereka dapat bertahan menghadapi kesukaran.
Doa ku agar mereka selamat . Mereka tenang utk menghadapi tekanan2 kehidupan yang beragam.

We are strong ladies and gentleman...Your tt is strong, your mom too. So are you..

Its 26C now up north.
Calm and quiet.
Safe for the chirping of the birds,the crowing of the chickens.

Semoga hari ni berita lebih baik aku terima...
Ya Hanana Ya hanana... the music on tv.

Here 's some thing about the place called Mallacoota,NSW,Australia,googled.

Before,it is a renown tourist area,now resembles a war zone.

LOL...tertype 2019 pd tajuk pulak.

Selamat Pagi.... kindy time

Hari kedua 2020
Hari pertama persekolahan tahun ini.
Dah habis cuti
Masa utk masuk sekolah kembali.

But why dont I see any school going children on the road today?
Selalunya ada dua tiga orang berjalan kaki ke sekolah tak jauh dari rumah.
Haha...rupanya aku terbangun bila hari dah meninggi..

Lewat whatsapp ,aku terima cerita mereka
Yang ku cintai
Sapa lagi kalau bukan cucu kami.

 Dah segak berdandan
Nak pergi kindy
Semoga dia bertahan
Menempoh segala cabaran

2 tahun lepas dia dimasukkan ke taman asuhan
Aduh.... cuma beberapa hari saja dia di sana
Asyik menangis sebab rindu ayah dan mama
Akhirnya,rumahlah saja taman asuhan nya.

Abang nak school. Abang is big now..Itu ayat2 dia. He's ready for school were his promise.
Semoga begitulah jadinya.

adik

abang

yeahhhh....ready to go!

Remembered those old days...
4 children
4 kindies
Ada yang riang ria pergi
Ada yang menangis meratap hiba tak mau ke sana setiap pagi.
Macam2 lah yang jadi.

Ada masuk kindy pasti, balik rumah pandai mengaji
Ada masuk kindy yg seronok ,mkn,minum,tidur sekali.
Ada masuk kindy yang pergi sekali ,besok cabut lari...

Apa apa pun semua kenangan itu,mahal harganya. Tak terbeli.
Now... rumah sunyi sepi.
Hanya tinggal dua orang tua yg sakit kaki...hihi.

The old and the new...

Woke up to a searing pain in the knee...its an old story
Sakit lutut...is an old vocabulary.

Financial strain is yet another old story.
Somehow or rather,its not a joyful news to receive.

The padi field in front of my house is green.
Its a usual sight at this time of the year.

The chickens still pooed on the porch floor
The cats still climbed onto the roofs of the cars

Over the news,
Fireworks in USA
Bush fires in Australia
Ghosn escaped Japan
American embassy attacked and seiged in Iraq
North Korea nuclear
Najib's court cases
Modi's CAA.
Malaysian tanker seized in Iran!
Thats quite a handful kan...

Nothing new...same old,same old

So whats new?
Perhaps only this....

this B 6 note book

the sun and the wave
Hope no drama

2020 on the go

just a small part....

The first entry in my 2019 note was this:
To do my best...

This year,what could be more apt?

Thats all folks. Have a good day.

In a minute....2020 here we go..

Time now 23.59 as registered on my laptop.
In 60 seconds ...oh no its NOW !
Loud bangs and booms from fireworks could be heard in the distance.
Usher 2020...
Happy New Year folks.

Just a few hours earlier ,heard some not so happy news.
Seems like 2020 wont shine bright as anticipated . Work related. Financial problems seem to be in the forecast. Hope all matters be settled amicably. Soon.

Watching the news on tv ,my heart goes to the people down under. OZ was once near to our heart when my youngest studied there for her degree. Seeing the catastrophic bush fire engulfing the land made me shudder. Its still raging over there. With a few fatalities and mass destruction,ushering the new year was sad indeed.

Good night people.
Happy New Year.

On a different note...
To the people of Malaysia at large, be grateful for the peace that we have. Be mindful of how we live,breathe,act,preach and speak. A spark could ignite a fire.Much worse than NSW bush fire. I kid not.
Sleep tight. Rise up to an awesome 2020.
