This Sunday

This Sunday,
I would be under a different sky,
Different breeze, hot but wet.

This Sunday,
I would be standing on a different land,
Different industrial and scenery.

This Sunday,
I would talk to a different person,
Someone who I almost forgot their voices.

This Sunday,
I would eat different food,
Food that I love but still missing.

This Sunday,
I would be doing things that I never done before,
Arrive at KLIA for the last time from London Heathrow.

This Sunday,
I would ask;
Why is it today?

This Sunday,
The last Sunday was my last Sunday,
After this Sunday,
It will be the same Sunday forever.
No more the feeling of four seasons,
How I would surely miss the feeling of cold.

A Day In Glagow City Centre

I just wanted to share with you the latest pictures. My mum, Iman, Zakwan, Zakiyah and I went to Glasgow City Centre on 14th of September 2008. It might be our last time going there. I bought my Eid shoes!!! Anyway, enjoy the pictures!

Tempahan Kuih Raya

Well, obviously that is in Malay. I tell you what it means; 'tempahan' is booking and 'kuih raya' is Eid cookies. It might be hard to just translate it word by word. Let me explains. When it comes to Eid time, Malaysian usually baked or ordered cookies, which is our tradition. In the past years, I never missed making 'kuih raya'. I guess, now I felt Eid is not complete without my mum's recipe on 'kuih raya'.
Because of this year, we are not here in Glasgow on Eid day, some people wanted my mum's 'kuih raya' and asked her to sell it. We usually never sell 'kuih raya'. We made lots and lots and different kinds and we would let the guests eat as much they want on Eid day. Well, this is year is a bit different. This year is business on 'kuih raya'. I only like 'kuih raya' called "Almond London". This 'kuih raya' is one of the expensive 'kuih raya' in Malaysia because of the chocolate. If I am cooking or baking, I only made the ones that I like. Sadly, "Almond London" is not very popular here in Glasgow. Only one person ordered hundered pieces of "Almond London". My mum is making the most wanted 'kuih raya' ever here which is called "Jam Tart". I do not like that because of the pineapple jam. Here are some pictures of "Almond London" that I have made.
Note that we run out of black casing for "Almond London" and I am not very good at pouring the chocolate. But the taste is all that matters!

Goodbye

Can I say it is a goodbye?
I have been avoiding to say it,
The word 'goodbye',
Every time I said it,
I did not mean it,
It will never be a goodbye,
We will meet again somehow,
In future or in another world.

How can I know that we will meet again?
We might never meet each other again,
As long as I know,
We will not meet much often like before.

Am I afraid friendship would end?
Yes, very afraid that after I am gone,
Gradually one after another would forget me.

Is goodbye the end of everything?
I will not want to believe that.

No one should believe goodbye ends Everything.
