Kau tau ke?

I am not an idealist...

But, I wonder how could a person, sacrifice his/her life for the sake of making more and more money. No doubt, money is important...(and yes, I do want to marry a wealthy guy!) but then again, what's the purpose of life, if you work so hard to get money and at the end of the day, you regret everything that has passed in your life without you realizing "their" existence because you're too busy working day and night.

I personally know a person...a great woman, who gave up her five-figure salary, gave up her GM post, just to be with her family. To bring up her children in the very best way that she knows of, to take care of her hubby, to make sure they have clean and nicely ironed clothes to wear, to have food on table when they come home from school, from work, and most important of all to be "there" for her hubby and children all the time - obviously that's the character of the Seven-lords' Mama :)

Oleh kerana itu, tak perlulah kamu menceritakan kepadaku bagaimana wanita beranak tiga men-juggle masa kerana terpaksa bekerja dan melayan karenah suami dan anak-anak. Ini kerana, aku telah menyaksikan sendiri bagaimana Mamaku (mama kepada > dari 3 orang anak!!) bekerja, kemudian berhenti demi kepentingan keluarga, sepuluh tahun selepas itu, kembali bekerja, dan kemudiannya berhenti lagi setelah beberapa tahun menjadi GM di tooot...(mana boleh citer yg xtra2 sgt) supaya anak-anaknya boleh jadi orang-orang yang berguna, berotak dan paling penting sekali beriman dan berakhlaq! Jadi janganlah kamu ingat aku tak faham...walaupun kadang2 aku buat-buat bodoh di depan kamu.

Kalau sekarang ni kau tak prihatin terhadap anak-anak kau, kau ingat besok bila kau dah tua, diorang willingly nak beri perhatian pada kau? Ini masanya untuk kau sayang anak-anak, supaya bila anak-anak kau dah berotak nanti, diorang sayang kau tanpa syarat.

Jadinya...don't let your work dominate your life, don't allow your work to become your life! Takde maknanya. Tak tentu lagi kita ni semua nak hidup sampai umur "warga emas" - takut2 urat besi semua dah karat sebab terlalu lelah bekerja, apa pun tak dapat melainkan duit, duit, duit. Itupun, kalau ada lagi lah setelah ditolak bahagi dengan hutang-piutang dan juga cukai (kau bayar zakat tak?) Bukan boleh bawak masuk kubur pun.

Islam promotes the moderate approach to life, kerja perlu, rehat perlu, masa untuk keluarga perlu, masa untuk aktiviti lain2 pun perlu. Fikir-fikirkan lah...



-aku yang merasakan hidup ini perlu seimbang, bukan pada percakapan saja, yang lebih pentingnya pada perlakuan-

Walaupun mother's day dah lepas, aku still nak dedicate lagu ni untuk Mama yang terbest dalam dunia. Selamat hari hari-hari hari Mama!

Sometimes I feel my heart's so lonely
But that's OK
No matter how my girl just left me
I just don't care
Whenever the rain falls down 'n it seems
There's no one to hold me
She's there for me, she's my mom

Just for my mom I write this song
Just for my mom I sing this song
Cus just my mom can wipe my tears
Cus just my mom can only hear

Trapped in a subway
Can't remember the day
But I felt OK
Dumped in a damn situation in every condition
With no conclusion

You may say I have no one
To cover me under the sun
You'll get it from your mom...!
Mom!!!
