True Colors
And when things happen and the person shows you his real color, you get surprised and you baffled as to how come this person is behaving this way.
I guess its not that he has changed or anything. But you think he HAS changed because of the new circumstances or situations. The person now who you think has changed is the exact same person you've known before. He has never changed. Its just that there's a part inside of him that never got to the surface because the situations for that particular behaviour to submerge never arise.
Sometimes the signs were already there. The signs of some of his true colors. But we just ignore and chose to close one eye. The reason being, because we know we are not perfect either and we have our own flaws and rainbows of characters that never get to the stage too.
The thing now is if the colors are shown by the person, do we have the generosity to accept them ?

Bercakap Sendiri (Bukan Seperti Min)
namun kita tidak mampu berbuat apa-apa apatah lagi untuk merubahnya
Ada hati yang perlu dijaga walau jiwa sendiri sangat tidak mampu menerimanya
Cuba untuk memberontak, tapi kita bukan lagi remaja
Hari-hari memberontak bukan lagi milik kita
Menjadi dewasa memang bukan yang menyenangkan
ada masa kita terpaksa menelan dan menghirup semua
sambil menahan diri daripada meluah dan/atau memuntah
Rasa yang benar di dalam hanya mampu disimpan semat di dada
Ada kalanya batasan ugama dan adat membuat dan memaksa-maksa kita rasa bersalah
dengan perasaan dan rasa kita sendiri,
lalu kita pun lebih mudah menghakim diri sebelum orang lain menghukum

Min
Min bukanlah orang yang asing di sekitar kawasan ofis aku dan Pekan Rabu. Badannya agak gempal berambut lebat pendek dan agak berkerinting. Yang membuat dia agak menarik perhatian ialah kerana Min agak 'lembut' dan seksi. Seksi kerana t-shirt yang dipakainya akan digunting luas hingga menampakkan kedua-dua bahunya. Dan Min juga berjalan melenggang sambil bercakap seorang diri dengan satu beg plastik di tangannya.
Setelah beberapa minggu selepas sapaannya yang pertama itu, kami bertemu lagi. Kali ini kami berjumpa di tempat parking kereta ketika aku baru sahaja hendak melangkah keluar dari kereta. Min sedang berjalan menuju ke arah Masjid Zahir bila tiba-tiba dia terlihat aku dan terus menegur.
Kakak kan yang bagi kat Minduit hari tu ?
Aku hanya sekadar tersenyum dan mengangguk kepala
Kak, jomlah bawa Min pi Ipoh. Jomlah kita pi Ipoh ...
Sambil ketawa aku katakan pada Min
Eshh nak pi Ipoh buat apa...? Orang ada kerja nih ....
Adalah sebabnya Kak..
Min tak boleh nak habak .....
Jom lah ....
(dengan gaya agak sedikit gedik dan manja)
Kak ambiklah Min jadi adik angkat Kak ... !!
Ambikla....
Kak, kak tau dak Min memang kena pi Ipoh ni...
Sebab depa kata Min tak boleh duduk sini dah.
Depa kata kalau Min dok sini Min nanti kena SULA
Aku rasa ada laaaa tu sapa-sapa yang usik bagi tau kat dia, sebab PAS dah perintah Kedah orang macam dia nanti kena sula.....
Min .... Min ..... Mudahkanlah hidupnya Ya Allah .

Siapa Kassim Selamat
Kamu benci seseorang kerana dia mungkin pernah menyakiti kamu walaupun akan ada ramai orang yang akan mempertahankan orang yang kamu benci itu dengan mengatakan dia sebenarnya baik
Kamu suka seseorang juga kerana ia ada kepentingan bagi kamu. Walaupun orangnya memang dibenci dan dihina orang, tetapi oleh kerana dia baik dengan kamu, kamu tiada masaalah dengannya.
Sebab itu kadang kita lihat dan tertanya-tanya mengapa seorang gadis sangat sayangkan seorang lelaki yang semua orang ketahui adalah seorang yang kita rasakan sangat tidak berguna. Kita akan cepat terus menghukum gadis itu atas kebodohannya yang kita rasakan sangat jelas memilih lelaki yang menjadi sampah masyarakat. Tetapi pada satu sisi yang lain kita tidak tahu betapa si sampah masyarakat itu lah yang selama ini yang berdiri teguh di belakang gadis itu, yang menerima dirinya seadanya, yang menjadi pendengar setia si gadis, yang berada di sisinya di saat si gadis sangat memerlukan.
Memang lelaki yang tadi itu tidak akan menjadi menantu pilihan, tetapi jika sekiranya dia datang meminang dengan membawa sebuah kereta yang hebat dan kemudian sering menghulur wang yang banyak kepada bakal mertua, pastilah bakal mertua tidak lagi akan memandang serong padanya kerana lelaki itu sekarang juga berkepentingan secara 'personal' dengan bakal mertua.
Seperti juga cerita Ibu Mertuaku yang bencikan Kassim Selamat. Yang dia marah bukan sebab Kassim Selamat tu "ahlil musik" per se. Dia marahkan sebab imej yang Kassim Selamat bawa kepadanya yang dia rasa amat memalukan bila bermenantu lelaki yang bukan Lawyer atau Magistrate. Ibu Mertuaku sebenarnya hanya pentingkan diri dan imejnya walaupun Sarimah dah berlari-lari anak dan sembamkan muka di bantal dan bergolek-golek atas katil dengan gediknya cintakan Kassim Selamat.
Tapi sebenarnya ada kebenarannya mengapa Ibu Mertuaku tak mahukan Kassim Selamat memandangkan Kassim Selamat tu memang bodoh kerana kemudiannya terbukti firasat seorang ibu bila Kassim Selamat dengan kejahilannya telah menggarpukan matanya hingga buta.
Mungkin Ibu Mertuaku sedar dan merasakan dari awal seorang Doktor atau Lawyer atau Magistrate tidak akan membutakan mata mereka dengan garpu.
Sekian.

Jack 'n' Jill Went Up The Hill
But after some thoughts, I said "Why not ?" as long as I know the boundaries ....
Actually they are MTB group. That's one of the reasons I decided to join them rather than the "roadies" . With my speed limit at 27km/h I think I wouldn't be left alone behind the pack because for MTBs even at 27km/h it is considered above average speed, I think.
The group has their cycling session at nite, taking the hilly route behind and around Jitra along the road of Tanah Merah to Bukit Wang and and sometimes the Guar Napai route, of which will only be around 30km. They would ride every other night without fail, subject to the weather, but still there are times when rain just cant stop them.
Ok. I m not really a strong cyclist and hills are not my usual playground. But with the group ,I have been introduced officially with this one steep hill. It was not really a proper introduction but rather more like a surprise encounter. That first night, I was cycling with only four of the group. The road was not that bad and since it was at night I couldn't really see whats in store at the front. I was coming down from a small hill and was really enjoying the descend when I started to feel some struggling pedalling. It was suddenly getting harder to push the pedal. I pushed and pushed but it was really difficult ... the boys told me to go slow, but I was not slowing, I was struggling to actually move because I had come to a halt.
"Bukit gila apa hampa bawa nih...?"
I had no choice but to unclip the pedal and get down from the bike. I had to push the bike and surrender the climbing.
The next day, out of curiousity I drove to that site of the hill to have a look and see what it was actually like.
Had it been daytime I wouldnt have climbed in the first place
I would have got down and walk !"
But still the look of the hill didn't scare me to try the climbing during my second session with the group. Tentulah tak boleh juga kan ... Aku bukan Aini.
During the third session, I was already praying "Ya Qawwiy, Ya Qawwiy" right from the corner before the road to the hill. And when I reached the hill, I could see the boys were already climbing. One of them stayed with me and was helping me on how to do it. I pushed and pushed with some encouragement from him
"Tekan lagi Ann, tekan kuat lagi ..."
..... I pushed and I could feel the heat building up inside my thigh and I pushed and tried to push, left and right, left and right ... and ... suddenly
... BOOM ...
I fell down
(dengan penuh manja dan sopan gitu...)
together with my mentor behind who was following me closely .. We apparently had no time to unclip ! Alhamdulillah we didn't tumble down like Jack 'n' Jill.
So u see... I told you, hills are not my playground.
But secretly I hope to conquer that hill one day. Insya Allah.

Abah and Cik Zah
You see Abah loves Mak dearly but he can be so helpless when Mak is around. It seems that he can never do a single thing on his own. He always have Mak on his call.
Cik Zah, mana butang baju saya
Cik Zah Cik Zah macam mana nak buat ni ?
Cik Zah Cik Zah saya cari tak jumpa pun
Hmm... but now since they are both getting older, we feel sympathy towards Mak. Anis especially can be very vocal with Abah. So whenever she hears Abah calling Mak for help, she wouldnt hesitate to snap Abah
Abah cuba lah buat sendiri !
I told Anis, maybe thats what their relationship is all about. Perhaps thats Abah's way of being 'manja' with Mak and perhaps Mak deep down inside, enjoys that too. The feeling of being needed by the husband. Its like their own way of communicating their love to each other. And maybe we should never interfer that.
Alas, I think we all have our on ways of sustaining a relationship. Theres no standardize means and everybody would only be comfortable with their own routines. Be it by way of helplessness or bossy or bickering or whatever ... as long as both know they love each other despite the flaws.
After all, nobody's perfect.
:-P

Its Not Easy To Do Good Sometimes
A friend is being charitable with this one poor family, a single mother with a few children. This friend of mine decided one day to donate some money to the family. She even went to the extend of going to the house to have a look at their living condition. It was quite an uneasy visit when the single mother's mother pestered my friend for more money. My friend even bought them a bicycle for the son to go to school. When her daughter was going to get married, the single mother came to my friend's office to borrow some money for the wedding. My friend was hesitant but relented so as not to disappoint one's hope and wish. The single mother even promised to pay back the money once her daughter gets a job. To this day my friend has not seen the money.
So you think the single mother would back off a bit for not paying the money. No, she called my friend every month as if demanding for her salary. My friend was starting to get annoyed and irritated. It is hard to be 'ikhlas' when you re being harassed like that. But I guess thats the way Allah determins your sincerity in doing good. Its like a test Allah puts to see whether you really mean what you say or what you intend to do.
So as to minimize her annoyance of being disturbed every month, my friend now asks from the single mother to open up an account so that she can put the money in the bank. She gave some money and asked the lady to go straight to the bank to open an account and come back with a photocopy of the bank's account book. The lady went off and never came back until a month later.
She gave the photocopy of the account book and within an hour later ringed my friend asked her "Bila nak masuk duit nih, kak dah pi tengok kat bank, duit tak masuk lagi pun"
So how...????

My Art Of Bargaining
I was in Ao Nang last weekend and to my delight there was quite a number of shops which sell imitation oil paintings. The price was not bad and I can say, cheap. You can get the famous white & black Beatles's cover album, Jimmy Hendrix, Marylyn Monroe and some other beautiful and classy paintings to your liking. At the most the prices are not more than 3000BHT (mostly around 2500BHT) for one good piece of delicate, intricate painting and for a much simpler one you can bargain for less than 1000BHT.
I was looking at some beautiful pieces at one stall and one painting of a Volkswagen beetle bug caught my eyes. There's also another interesting painting I ve been drooling to get but its a bit over my budget so I thought I d just settle for the beetle.
The VWbeetle bug cost 1200BHT and I was asking for 900BHT.
Me: Can you sell to me for 900(BHT) ?
Seller: NO... I give you 1000(BHT)
Me: Oh come on... please if you give me 900(BHT).... I'll take it...
Seller (pleading): Oooo.. 1000(BHT).... 1000(BHT) I give you 1000(BHT)
Me: 900(BHT) !
Seller: Wait.. I ask my husband. Krong krang pad thai pattaya krong plang plong.....
Seller's Husband To Wife: Plang plong krang krong pad thai phuket krabi pat pong pang....
Seller's Huband To Me: Just another 100(BHT).. I sell to you 1000(BHT)
Me: 900 (BHT) arrr....
Seller's Husband (after a few second of thought): OK
Me: Yeayyy...
Seller: You pay deposit first. You can come and take the painting tomorrow, I will do the packing for you.
Seller taking out the receipt book: Ok how much you want to give for the deposit ?
Me : 1000BHT
All was silent for a few seconds before cracking into a loud laugh in the middle of the night in the small street of Ao Nang.
Crazy me ......
*1,000BHT=RM101,43

Bukan Ofis Bapa Aku, Nora
Dia bukan nak pi beli perabut kat situ, tapi nak pi amik gambar dan amik no siri sebarang perabut yang dia berkenan dan bawa balik tunjuk pada satu kedai perabut kecil-kecilan di Jitra. Kedai kecil-kecilan di Jitra tu mengaku boleh amik barang dari kilang yang sama dengan harga yang jauh lebih murah.
Masaalahnya Nora ajak aku pi la ni juga, time pejabat.
Dia ingat aku kerja satu ofis dgn bapa aku.

I think I might need the drawing block again... it used to help me during my study years...I hope it will help me again at the office now.
I m just trying my best.

Whats Up Doc ?
Anyways, its not like I m totally new now to ADD. I did my homework, my own research and everything on the subject before I went to see him. Apparently he didnt leave me with a big impression on the subject and I doubt the pills that he gave me. He was trying to confuse me with anxiety, which of course does relate to ADD too but which I dont think he should give me the drugs before diagnosing me in the first place. His idea was to rule out anxiety so that he could see within the next two weeks whether I d have calmed down and thus giving a big entrance to the possibility of ADD/ADHD.
But of course he was right when he told me I should take all sort of tests, like the blood test, ECG test and the psychological test which also includes an IQ test, before he could diagnose me with ADD. And for these, I might have to fork out more than RM1K.
Maybe I should try KL doctors.
cK on the other hand is not so keen with the diagnosis thing. He truly believes I am ADD and I, do not disagree with him. I have been thinking a lot these few days about my past and all my so called eccentric and weird behaviour. I am also trying my best to get as much informations as I could from the internet. I m not sure whether its really that important for me to be diagnosed.
And cK was so kind to get me two books on the subject of which he asked me first before handing me the books
Are you sure you re going to read them?
Ya, ya I'm not so good with books. I'm more of a 'magazine junkie'. Because with magazines I dont have to read and focus for long.

Dont Add Anything More To My ADD
I knew my bf was always complaining about me not listening to him. He said I never listen whenever he was saying anything or talking to me. I didnt know what to explain to him but I do notice that sometimes my mind just sort of drift away during a conversation. Because of my poor concentration and lack of focus, I would always miss some parts of the conversation . I ve checked with Nora about this too and she admits that it hurts her sometimes because whenever she was telling me anything I looked very disinterested and as if my mind was somewhere else.
Inattention by not really listening and focusing is one of the many symptoms of ADD. There a lot of other instances and symptoms like procrastination, zoning out, starting multiple tasks but never completing anyone of them, constant worrying, inability to prioritize task, easily bored, esily distracted, forgetful etc etc. And because of all these symptoms, people with ADD have always been misunderstood. To certain extent it affects relationships with other persons.
Now I understand the reason why I have to read and reread certain page of a book, because my mind just can't focus because it keeps on wandering. I know for a fact about this because I really have to struggle to read the first few pages of a novel. If I manage to pass through the first chapter and if I find the first chapter interesting, only then I can finish the book. You see, the only thing that can make an ADD person to finish anything, it has to be of interest to them.
There are times during a movie when I would suddenly be at a lost that I would have to ask Nora what certain scene was all about, even when you can see that my eyes were fixed on the screen. According to Nora too, and to her annoyance, whenever we are watching a movie, I would suddenly get up and do other things not related to the movie watching (like getting a drink or snacks for the movie). I would for instance go and read a magazine or wash the dishes.
There is an endless list of all my odd actions and behavior which now I find the answers in ADD. It scares me but at the same time I wonder how in the world I got to be where I am today with the ADD.
I suppose I have always been under HIS wings with HIS Rahmah and Rahim and the duas of my parents.........

Ps:
Oh ya, Pak Ngah masih tetap dengan hobinya menonton TV. Satu-satunya alatan yang memang Pak Ngah belanjakan dengan agak mahal baginya adalah TV besar, Video(dulu) dan VCD /DVD (sekarang) yang elok.

Selamat Hari Raya
Perempuan Melayu zaman sekarang,
malam-malam sebelum raya bukan lagi menganyam ketupat,
tetapi di internet menganyam blog

juga maafkan aku kerana tulisanku kadang merapu
maaf maaf
kerana mungkin aku pernah mengguris hati kamu dulu
Maafkan aku
S E L A M A T H A R I R A Y A

Jangan Marah Kalau Kamu Tak Boleh Menghubungi Aku Semalam
Nokia jenama telefon tangan aku itu, aku rasa memang sangat gagah perkasa, hanya setelah jatuhan yang ke 15 kali, barulah ia mengalah dan mengangkat bendera putih tidak tahan lagi hidup bersama aku, lalu beliau mengambil keputusan membunuh diri. Aku seperti tidak percaya apabila secara perlahan skrinnya hilang dari pandangan dan lenyap bersama-samanya segala jenis data yang aku simpan. Orang-orang dan bank-bank yang mencari aku semalam masih boleh mendengar talian aku yang masih hidup apabila membuat panggilan, tetapi aku tidak dapat menjawab atau berbuat apa-apa kerana Nokia tidak langsung menulis wasiat hatta untuk aku mendengar deringan sekalipun. Kematian manusia berkarier diabad ini rupanya mati bersama-sama matinya telefon tangan mereka.
Dan Allah Yang Maha Kaya itu tidak akan selalu membiarkan hambaNYA derita lama. Kematian bukan sahaja melahirkan kesedihan tetapi juga memberi laluan kesempatan. Ya, seperti juga suami yang kematian isteri, tanah kuburan yang masih merah bukanlah alasan untuk menolak mendapatkan isteri baru.
:-P
Cleaning Day
There were even my work books in primary four. Math workbook done in pen. Can you believe it, we were supposed to do math using fountain ink pen. Must have taken lots of confidence to do math in ink but we never complained.
I found old love letters too.... hahaha looking and reading at all the letters, I just couldnt believe that the writer was me, so corny ! Ewwww... Those letters were from and to my previous loved ones. A few are draft and un-posted letters and notes to an Indonesian student I was stalking. Crazy me. If I had a kid, I wd never never let her/him see those letters, it was so embarrassing pouring my heart out like that. Ewwww.... again !
And of course I also founds notes of crazy games I used to play with Motien and Misbah. Yeah.. Misbah was actually playing stupid games with me and Motien, you know the old games of guessing names of celebrities, actress and actresses. I saw names of the Kapoors too in the game... so to accommodate Misbah's favourites,I reckon.
During those days, I used to make my own greeting cards. I found this and I thought its cute to share it with all of you.
.. during Ramadhan..
hoping to get a glimpse of the "Lailatul Qadar"

UMN* 's Seven Stages of Grief
1. SHOCK & DENIAL-
2. PAIN & GUILT-
As the shock wears off, it is replaced with the suffering of unbelievable pain. Although excruciating and almost unbearable, it is important that you experience the pain fully, and not hide it, avoid it or escape from it with alcohol or drugs.
You may have guilty feelings or remorse over things you did or didn't do with your loved one. Life feels chaotic and scary during this phase.
For most of them, they do feel the pain of course. They are in pain and thats why they are behaving they way they behave now.
The guilt, hmmm... this is a bit tricky because I dont think anybody would openly confess of being guilty. Chaotic phase... definitely !
3. ANGER & BARGAINING-
Frustration gives way to anger, and you may lash out and lay unwarranted blame for the death on someone else. Please try to control this, as permanent damage to your relationships may result. This is a time for the release of bottled up emotion.
You may rail against fate, questioning "Why me?" You may also try to bargain in vain with the powers that be for a way out of your despair ("I will never drink again if you just bring him back")
Hahaha... this is when the arrogant who shall be nameless but starts his name with an A came into the scene. The "Why Me ?" phase. They are suddenly getting angry at people and at other races. Making all sorts of provocations just to show their anger.
4. "DEPRESSION", REFLECTION, LONELINESS-
Just when your friends may think you should be getting on with your life, a long period of sad reflection will likely overtake you. This is a normal stage of grief, so do not be "talked out of it" by well-meaning outsiders. Encouragement from others is not helpful to you during this stage of grieving.
During this time, you finally realize the true magnitude of your loss, and it depresses you. You may isolate yourself on purpose, reflect on things you did with your lost one, and focus on memories of the past. You may sense feelings of emptiness or despair.
This is yet to happen. But I think its getting nearer already.
5. THE UPWARD TURN-
As you start to adjust to life without your dear one, your life becomes a little calmer and more organized. Your physical symptoms lessen, and your "depression" begins to lift slightly.
Hmmm..... not sure if they will ever ever come to this phase.
6. RECONSTRUCTION & WORKING THROUGH-
As you become more functional, your mind starts working again, and you will find yourself seeking realistic solutions to problems posed by life without your loved one. You will start to work on practical and financial problems and reconstructing yourself and your life without him or her.
Tsk tsk tsk....... ermm.. to expect the mind to start working again... ? Not sure if it is ever functional in the first place. But I do hope they can start "seeking realistic solutions".
7. ACCEPTANCE & HOPE-
During this, the last of the seven stages in this grief model, you learn to accept and deal with the reality of your situation. Acceptance does not necessarily mean instant happiness. Given the pain and turmoil you have experienced, you can never return to the carefree, untroubled YOU that existed before this tragedy. But you will find a way forward
I guess this phase will only come when they have become an opposition
Source :http://www.recover-from-grief.com/7-stages-of-grief.html
They are in pain. Just like an angry bf/gf who cant accept the situation, they have to hurt back to cover their ego and pain. Exactly like a hurting lion .... it will run amok because he s in pain.

Lagi Cerita Tentang Aku Suhardi Dan Salwa
Aku, Suhardi dan Salwa tetap bersama di dalam kelas semasa Darjah Satu dan Darjah Dua. Seperti yang pernah aku ceritakan dulu, Salwa memang dari keluarga yang agak berada dan berkemampuan. Melihatkan dari jenis kereta ayahnya saja sudah cukup untuk kami sebagai budak sekolah menganggap Salwa bukanlah dari golongan miskin. Ditambah pula betapa dia selalu membelanja kroni-kroninya dikantin sambil jalan beramai-ramai, Salwa kelihatan sangat menonjol dan berkuasa sebagai Ketua Yang Memakai Topi Berbunga.
Aku ? Aku pula tidak popular seperti Salwa, tambahan lagi waktu Darjah Satu itu, kerana lompatan "zero-point" (tali getah) yang tidak tepat menyebabkan aku tersungkur rebah ke bumi, patah gigi hadapan. Aku memang tidak tampan dengan gigi berlubang dan tanpa wang untuk belanja kawan-kawan lain makan di kantin. Mak aku hanya bagi aku 2 kupang (RM0.20) saja untuk ke sekolah.
Walaupun aku tahu Salwa telah "cop" Suhardi dari Darjah Satu lagi, itu tidaklah menghalang aku untuk tetap berkawan dengan Salwa sebagai kawan sekelas. Bagi aku yang masih mentah ini, aku juga mempunyai rasa kekurangan diri di mana aku mengambil keputusan untuk mengundur diri. Salwa boleh memiliki Suhardi kerana siapalah aku ini untuk rapat dengan jejaka tampan itu. Suhardi pula seperti kebanyakan budak lelaki 7 tahun yang lain, tiap hari masih sibuk mengejar belalang dan bermain "combat" dan tidak tahu sepatah haram pun yang dia menjadi rebutan dua budak perempuan sekelasnya.
Antara kelebihan Salwa waku itu ialah dia sangat pandai bercerita. Setiap kali Salwa membuka mulut maka ramailah murid lain yang akan berkerumun di mejanya untuk mendengar cerita. Salwa akan bercerita tentang pelbagai perkara tetapi yang selalu menarik aku ke meja Salwa tiap kali ialah untuk mendengar cerita Salwa tentang kolam renang di rumahnya.
Aku ingin membuat pengakuan di sini; ada dua benda di dalam kehidupan kanak-kanak aku yang menjadikan aku meleleh air liur melopong bila mendengar orang menyebutnya iaitu : piano dan kolam renang. Aku memang sangat teruja tentang dua benda itu.Kamu mungkin telah baca tentang aku dan piano Motien dulu. Tapi sebelum kenal Motien aku telah terlebih dahulu kenal dengan Salwa dan kolam renangnya.
Menurut Salwa di rumahnya ada satu kolam renang yang besar. Dia dan keluarganya sering mandi manda bersama di kolam itu pada waktu petang dan masa cuti sekolah. Kamu boleh lihat muka aku tiap kali Salwa menyebut kolam renang, mata aku bersinar dan mulut aku akan ternganga dengan senyum yang terhegeh-hegeh. Salwa pula setiap kali bercerita akan siap dengan pensil dan kertas untuk melukis kolam renangnya itu. Dan aku pula tidak akan habis-habis bertanya itu ini tentang kolamnya, keluasan kolam dan juga kedalaman air di kolamnya. Dan termasuk di dalam soalan-soalan poyo aku itu ialah tentang siapa lagi yang mandi di situ,baju renang jenis dan warna apa yang dipakai, guna pelampung atau tidak dan lain-lain soalan yang hanya akan datang daripada seorang kana-kanak yang gila kolam renang dan bermain air .
Dan Salwa tidak pernah jemu bercerita dan bercerita tentang kolam renangnya kepada aku yang konon ada hati mahukan bakal suaminya, Suhardi.
Memanglah aku ini budak-budak sangat waktu itu. Dan memanglah juga aku sangat teruja dengan kolam renang Salwa dan tidak dinafikan juga bahawa Salwa bukanlah dari golonngan miskin tetapi ada "sesuatu" di dalam cerita Salwa yang aku ingat sampai sekarang yang membuatkan aku juga rasa seperti ada yang tak betul tentang cerita kolam renangnya itu.
Mana tidaknya, Salwa bercerita kolamnya yang besar itu ada empat papan anjal; setiap satu untuk Mak, Ayah, Abang dan dirinya untuk digunakan mereka untuk melompat masuk ke dalam kolam itu.
Mana ada orang buat sampai empat papan anjal untuk satu kolam !
Tapi seperti manusia lain, aku telah memilih untuk percaya hanya apa yang aku mahu percaya. Kerana biarpun cerita Salwa tidak betul seperti juga cerita piano kecil kayu Motien itu..... ianya cukup untuk aku berkhayal dan berfantasi indah tentang kolam renang. Seperti semua kanak-kanak lain di dunia ini, Salwa dan Motien juga berkhayal dan bermimpi mahukan Kolam Renang (dengan 4 papan anjal) dan Piano (yang besar)
Kami hanya kanak-kanak pada waktu itu.
Kami tidak berdosa untuk berangan.
*Izinkan aku juga untuk masih berfantasi tentang sesuatu yang telah 30 tahun lebih aku tinggalkan di mana jauh di sudut hati aku berkeyakinan kalau Suhardi di suruh memilih antara aku dan Salwa, pasti Suhardi akan memilih aku. Hahahahahaha.
