Father

One day, if my son ever asked me,
"Father, will I be able to fly high? up above the sky?"

My answer is yes, son. Yes you can. Everything under the sky is for you to venture. You can definitely fly, but sometimes looking at things closely is better than viewing it from afar up high in the sky. You can fly, but you must also first crawl, walk, run, and swim with the people around you, and when the time comes for you to spread your wings, I ask you to remember one thing; life is not about living alone. Thus, you can try to drag people around you and carry them flying with you, but you'll end up flying low and slow. Teach them how to fly instead, so that you can fly with them,

high up above the sky.

One day, if my daughter ever asked me,
"Father, will I be able to have all the sweets in the world?"

My answer is yes sweetie. Because you're already the sweetest thing in the whole wide world. Sweetness is something you will always look for when your days are gloomy, it is something precious, something rare, for your heart to feel, and Im sure people around you will find it hard to find it too. Thus my daughter, be that sweet little girl you always are, and share that sweetness with the people around you. Something good in abundance will always make you sick, but just that right amount will make you happy and cheerful, strong and beautiful,

just like your mother.

Duit

"Kenapa nak naikkan sewa doktor? kami duduk sini lama dah. Bukan ke kami ni dah macam anak doktor?"

"Masa berubah, kos hidup pun dah berubah anak oi. Sejak Mesir revolusi ni, kawasan ni makin maju. Tak lama lagi Mansurah ni nak sama taraf dengan Tokyo dah." kata tuan rumah dengan muka stern.

"Kalau ya pun, mana boleh naik beratus macam tu. Ni dah increment lebih 300%, Mana logik?"

"Dah nak buat macam mana, aku bukan suka-suka, tapi land value dekat sini memang dah naik. kau ingat apa, sia-sia lah aku professor of economics dekat universiti kau tu. Malu tahu kawan-kawan aku semua cakap diorang naikkan sewa untuk budak Malaysia. Mana aku nak sorok muka?"

Kami tunduk. Tak ada hujah balas.

"Lagipun, Rumah akhwat Malaysia depan ni sewa dia LE1600. Cuba banding dengan sewa korang?"

"Mak aih, 1600? hampeh punya adik-adik"

Pasrah.

Perbualan berdasarkan kisah benar.

Aduhai adik-adik. Kalau benar pun korang mampu, kami ni tak lah sangat. Kalau dah sewa tu lebih LE1300 ke, tak payahlah akad. Aduhai.

Abang nak simpan duit untuk kahwin. Tahu?
