Cerita tentang 'love'...

Salam sahabat,

Abah petik ini dari emel yg abah terima. Menarik juga untuk dibaca.

-------------
Slow down for three minutes to read this. It is so worth it. Touching words from the mouth of children. A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, 'What does love mean?'

The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined See what you think:

'When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore.
So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love..'
-Rebecca- age 8


'When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different.
You just know that your name is safe in their mouth.'
Billy - age 4

'Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other.'
Karl - age 5

'Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries without making them give you any of theirs.'
Chrissy - age 6

'Love is what makes you smile when you're tired.'
Terri - age 4

'Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK.'
Danny - age 7

'Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more.
My Mommy and Daddy are like that.. They look gross when they kiss'
Emily - age 8

'Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen.'
Bobby - age 7 (Wow!)

'If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate,'
Nikka - age 6 (we need a few million more Nikka's on this planet)

'Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday.'
Noelle - age 7

'Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well.'
Tommy - age 6

'During my piano recital, I was on a stage and I was scared. I looked at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling. He was the only one doing that. I wasn't scared anymore.'
Cindy - age 8

'My mommy loves me more than anybody You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night..'
Clare - age 6

'Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken.'
Elaine-age 5

'Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford.'
Chris - age 7

'Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day.'
Mary Ann - age 4

'I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones.'
Lauren - age 4

'When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you.' (what an image)
Karen - age 7

'Love is when Mommy sees Daddy on the toilet and she doesn't think it's gross.'
Mark - age 6

'You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget.'
Jessica - age 8

And the final one

The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife.

Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there.

When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said,

'Nothing, I just helped him cry'

Apalah agaknya anak2 kita kata bila ditanya benda yang sama.

Cerita tentang Sang pemimpi...

Salam sahabat, semoga hari Isnin ini bukanlah Isnin hitam buat kita semua. :-)

Tidak ada epekan atau khabar apa hari ini. Sekadar menyambung coretan lepas berkaitan laskar pelangi. Pagi semalam, abah tonton lagi cerita itu, kali ini dengan Ummi, ketika bersarapan. Menonton berdua dengan ummi rupanya lebih 'feel', sebab boleh tersengih dan ketawa bersama saat adegan2 lucu dipaparkan diskrin TV gedabak abah yg sudah 12 tahun menabur bakti (atau bala) pada abah, dan keluarga. Seronok tengok Ummi yang keadaan kesihatan masih diperingkat 'sederhana' boleh tersengih2 ketawa dengan cerita itu. Sememangnya anak2 LK itu melucukan di ketika ketikanya.

Kali ini, abah menunggu Sang Pemimpi pula. Untuk abah lihat dan ceduk apa saja yg positif dari sambungan LK itu. Moga2 SP akan sehebat LP insyaAllah.

Cerita tentang laskar pelangi

Salam sahabat blog, semoga kita semua tetap dalam rahmat kesihatan dan kasih sayang Allah SWT.

Pada rakan2 fesbuk abah, pastinya sudah tahu akan kondisi Ummi yang dimasukkan ke wad di DSH baru-baru ini. Sempat jugalah bermalam di hotel DSH tu selama 2 malam. Habis juga dalam RM1.6K (tapi senyum saja, sebab insurans yg bayau). Walaupun begitu, tak nak la masuk wad lagi walaupun kos ditanggung majikan. Sekarang Ummi telah sedikit sihat, dan masih dalam cuti berehat.

Terima kasih buat semua sahabat2 yang mendoakan.

Kali ni abah cuma nak bercerita sikit pasal satu filem Indo yang abah tonton minggu lepas. Dah lama nak tonton, cuma baru berkesempatan. Filem Laskar Pelangi, yang diadaptasi dari novel karya Andrea Hirata (yang berlatarbelakangkan Pulau Bangka) ini adalah sebuah kisah kehidupan. Kehidupan yang tak jauh lari dari kita. Situasi dan watak2nya.

Abah tidak baca novel itu, tapi selepas habis menonton filem ini, abah boleh rasakan yang novelnya sebagus filemnya. Cerita tentang kehidupan, dan kekangan yang ada. Ada sekian banyak kekangan yang melingkari hidup anak2 kecil itu, tapi bukak kekangan itu yang ditonjolkan. Yang diperlihatkan adalah bagaimana kita perlu hidup diatas kekangan yang ada.

Kesusahan hidup jangan dijadikan lesen untuk tunduk pada keadaan. Dan anak2 itu sesungguhnya bijak dalam melayari hidup disebalik kesulitan yang ada.

Kisah tentang duka, pengorbanan, kasih sayang, persahabatan, cita-cita...

Jika anda gemarkan kisah2 tentang kehidupan, tontonlah LP ini, dan abah pasti ada benda positif boleh diceduk dari situ, paling tidak untuk motivasi diri anda.

Tertarik abah dengan kata-kata Pak Harfan, "hiduplah untuk memberi sebanyak-banyaknya bukan untuk menerima sebanyak-banyaknya...".

Cerita tentang Maher Zain

Takde apa nak dingepekkan hari ni. Tgh mati kutu skrg ni nak mengepek. Sekadar nak berkongsi satu lagu dari satu penyanyi yg abah baru tahu kewujudannnya hari ini. Kalau anda boleh layan nasyid Inggeris, album terbaru Maher Zain adalah satu kemestian.
