TOMORROW
Saying that we'll do it the next day
But sometimes we don't realise
Tomorrow might not come anyway
"Tomorrow I will start to repent
I will do lots of sadaqah and pray
Tomorrow I will give others a smile
Tomorrow I'll repay all my debts of today"
But what if tomorrow never comes
and we return to Allah Almighty
We might regret not doing it today
Like REPENT, do daawah and give charity
For if you leave things till tomorrow
The next day might be just too late
Whatever we can do, do it all today
Give all that you can and DON'T YOU WAIT!

On Tuesday, while i was busy cooking for my family's evening meal, i received a call from my mom from M'sia...she said that my aunt, my dad's elder sister who was suffering from Parkinson's disease has passed away around 2pm. I thought i get to see her one more time before she goes..just 2 days before she died, i thought about her, thinking how is she now? is she getting worse? The last time i saw her was 2 years ago. Now.. juz remembering her. My aunt, a window at a very young age, with her only son shared a home with my other aunt's family (my dad's youngest sister). During her free time, she use to come over to my parents home, well almost everyday she drops by as she stays two houses away opposite of my parents home. It was during my primary school days. On several occasions we, my mom, my aunt, my sis and i, play board games...her favourite game is 'Monopoly'. We use to paster her to buy properties whenever she lands on one, my mom would ask her to buy it but she wouldn't..her excuse.."i don't have much money!" I would offer to give her my money for her to buy, then my mom would say.."u don't have to give..she already has alot in her hands..see..pointing". It's true but she uses her money carefully eventhough...it's only paper money. We had such fun...laughing...chatting...that was 'those' days but these memories will always be with me and can never die.

Hi Sis!
ThanX for SMSing me about Big Pupu's passing away. That day was a crummy day for me. My head was killing me plus my neck was killing me, due to the pillow that I've been using for 2 and a half years was to the point of being flat like a piece of paper and the news that you passed me.
I've always thought that I would be able to see her again by the time I've finished my studies in Aussie but it''s not ment to be. At least abbah made it a point for bringing me to see her everytime I'm back at Malaysia at the end of the year, just in case. She'll always tell me to study hard whilst I'm in Australia and she'll be crying whenever abbah tell us it's time to leave her.
Oh well, this is the life cycle of human beings as to is everything else in this world. everythign will come to an end. |
