Land of Nine States

                                      Map of Negeri Sembilan



Land of the Adat
Let children die not adat
That famous maxim


A unique system
Where women has the last say
Custom rules the men


From Minangkabau
The Yamtuan beckons
On invitation


The Four Lawgivers
Hold the power to appoint
The Ruler to reign

At KLIA

Tuesday twenty six
We were at KLIA
To send off Nurul


Nurul and Ayra
Moving across the causeway
New experience


Jalil takes new job
Covers Asean region
More challenge and scope

May Allah protect
We shall miss you all so much
Take care and be safe

Lost in PJ

                                    With Bakar who is in Black Songkok

Bakar, a cousin
Went out on Tuesday morning
And he went missing


The search was mounted
The police with their k9
The scent fade away


Then on Wednesday
He was seen near Assunta
They rushed to the place


But he was not there
They scoured the nearby area
Found him near the mosque


That  is dementia
The memory is like blank
Allah protect him

                      It was last Tuesday

              When thunder and lightning struck

              The electric trips

 

 

              With deafening sound

              Followed by power outage

              Then the count begins

 

 

              The appliances

              The surge has taken its toll

              Repairs punched a hole

                   

General Election

                                              2008 General Election


It is in the air
Election fever is brewing
With buntings and flags


Most of the people
Are busy with life's struggle
For bread and butter


To govern means trust
Not self-serving or glory
But justice for all


The fight will be keen
Candidates must keep their cool
Or else go fly kite


Cast your vote wisely
Be guided by your conscience
Not by dollars sense

The Flag

                                         Malaysian Flag


Our honour, the flag

Testy times on eastern front

Defend our border



Too lax in the past

They came in and out easy

Now it exploded



It is rather sad

Precious lives put on the line

Wake up call is now

Reflection

         Ayra, six months old

         Much like the mother, Nurul

         A close reflection




        Ayra is lucky

       Nurul is able to care

       With loving tender



       When Nurul was baby

        We left her to Kak Mus hands

        The trusted helper



        She too came that day

        To wish them the best of luck

        On their island move





In response to my friend's request, I am posting this in the hope that I would not hibernate too many a time.

       

Ayra is Six months old today

                                            Ayra and her dad, Abdul Jalil


Today, which is a Monday 11 March, my grand-daughter Ayra is six-months old. On Saturday, 02 March 2012 a " Doa Selamat " (Thanksgiving prayer) was done at my home to supplicate for Allah's Blessings on the pending relocation of my daughter Nurul, my grand-daughter Ayra and Jalil my son-in-law to Singapore upon Jalil's moving to a new job there. This week they are there having a look at the apartments where they are going to move in by next month. Insha Allah they will have a good place to stay.
