السلام عليكم
uhuk2..berhabuk blog. dah tulis, asek draft je. ntah bile nak postnye.
alhamdulillah alhamdulillah ahamdulillah...my two day trip in purdue was beyond what i expected.
really, it doesn't matter where you go, it's the company that makes it all worth a while.
in my case, my journey began with me beseeching, alone, to go to purdue, which i've been planning since i started my summer holiday. the going to purdue part. not the pleading part. ha, THAT i didn't plan. dreaded in fact. hmm.
so, alhamdulillah...not only did i manage to persuade ayah. i managed to persuade ayah to make along come with me :) the journey took me and along roughly 4 hours, with the weather, 103oc. arrived at lafayette at 5.30pm and i was straight away sent to my sis' house, adilah...she didn't even know i was coming.
the house was quiet, i knocked on the door..and there was my other sis, hanna, mixing some caramel cake batter. she was totally surprised. hehe. funnny. terkejut dia.."aaa budak kecik ni". sweet :) that was a very nice surprise for me too!!! but how odd. dah lame kawan2 tak panggil saye bdk kecik...ever since kat uk. it's cool though. my long forgotten middle name revived. tapi, kenapa ade orang at all yang panggil saye budak kecik? masih saye tak faham hingga ke harini. but it's cool...itu menunjukkan kami ade persefahaman walaupun saye tak sure ada kena mengena ke tak.
dari situ, sempat solat berjemaah...then, pergi ke park. there, we came, we saw, we conquered. CONQUERED i tell you, sampai org tak lalu dah kat situ. masa berpicnic, ade je students lalu2, tengok2. right after we started our games, a large turf of the park, kami buat macam tanah pusaka moyang kami punye. some sis were rollerblading....very well, actually and going fast but didn't know how to stop. takde breakk. hehe.
yang lain, well...kami main frisbee. tp tak brapa nak dapat sambutan... jadi, kami main tuju kasut. fuh. berfeluh2. ateeqa nasha ponn sangatlah bersemangat. lupa kejap diri. not only that, kami main pukul berapa datuk harimau which, tiba2 transform ke game serigala dan biri2, maka terbina lah kandang kambing. nampak bukan, kami dah confius...
keletihan.
kami setel dgn game yang lebih static, stationary. it's either, mulut yang bergerak sbb bercakap...ataupon mulut tutup, berlain yang bergerak. ha. ape tu? kami main "cap kali cap3" which, i've forgotten how the song goes...mama aja mase darjah tiga. habis main tu, main charades. ini, amatlah mencabarkan utk saye. sbb kami main teka2 simpulan dan peribahasa. fuh...time ni, jelas kelakaran masing2. ade dua teams, setiap team member bergilir2 tampil kehadapan dan buat act. referee kami, ida yang cemerlang :) dia bagi the words, sorang2 act it out..dari bagai punguk rindukan bulan, telinga kuali, ular kena palu dan kambing pulang ke kandang...dan mcm2 lah. ade ida bagi sampai 10 words. cool lah. refresh BM masing2. who knew it was going to be educational :)
then, sebelum maghrib dan bersurai, tibalah masanya utk wasiat terakhir...............dot dot dot.
tak tahu nak cakap ape sebenarnye psl slot yang ini. setiap sorang kene ckp, buat ucapan, biarpun sepatah atau berpuluh2 patah2. long story short, time saye, saye reflect balik lah kenangan lampau bila first time saye kenal kak farhana dan kak hannan. ucapan saye, saye tak plan...
extract sket dari ape yang saye igt saye ckpkn, add minus...
"start dari kenalan, jadi kawan. kawan purdue pertama saye adelah kak fana..first time dtg purdue utk malaysian night 2009, kami singgah ke rumah dia kat brownstone. mama bawak mee ke rumah kak fana dan semua makan...masa tu, ade addeen. dia tgh goreng karipap yang kurang hensem. muhsin pon ade skali kot. then, kak hanan muncul. saye tgh basuh pinggan2 dlm sink..dia kata, "eh, takyah lah basuh. tinggal je.." saye insisted...dan dia ckp "ha basuh lah..nak sgt basuh.." from that moment, oke la..saye dapat impression yang sis berdua ni boleh tahan otai dalam ayu2 mereka.
kite jauh dan jarang berjumpa tapi saye sayang sis berdua sangat2 sbb walaupun tak ramai sis yang saye boleh relate to sgt kat chicago, saye rase dekat je dgn sis2 ni. sis2 ni selalu igt kat saya...for example, kak hanan mase bace buku "If I Should Speak:, dia text ckp dia teringat kat saye. kak fana pun same...dia igt utk ajak saye dtg, tgk dia balik. katanya, dia berdoa sgt2 saye dpt datang".
what am i going to do without these two sis.....oh btw, the reason saye dtg purdue was nak jumpa these two sis sbelum mereka balik, on wednesday. from the four hours we were all together, every moment was precious. kalau mcm ni lah ukhuwah akhwat kat purdue, then, i'm missing out on a lot! tapi Allah ni mmg best, bijak dan adil lah. Ini sebenarnye kebaikan utk saya...because, i realize, what is there to kesal???? Allah grants me the BEST of both worlds!!! saye "jauh", tapi saye ade ukhuwah sebegini. walaupun kene travel sket, usaha sket utk jumpe face to face, that what makes the ukhuwah tastes sweetest. saye tak pernah rase belong sgt in a group..indeed, they are true friends. dunya dan akhirah, inshallah. saye rekemeng kat semua org xD.
hm mayybe saye syok sendiri? takpe...saye lebih bahagia begini :)
kat chicago, Allah tolong dan bagi saye space utk expand, prosper extend, outreach, grow dgn social network yang saye kene form sendiri kalau nak hidup lah, basically. Alhamdulillah. but still, more efforts could be used.
malam menjelang...selamat sudah kami berjemaah. then, ade bro ni pulak blanja makan especiallylah untuk meraikan sis2 yang nak balik ni dgn jayanya, ramai2. esok tu plak makan mee goreng..alhamdulillah2. rezqi Allah ade kat mane2 aje. mcm saye kate, geng2 purdue ni klako2 blako. macam2 kerenah. tapi, really, kerenah anak2 lah yang sangat mencabar (tetibe je. i'm talking on behalf of mama dan parents sedunia). ujian kan. nak off topic kejap. sis mona were talking just now..ckp psl kerenah anak2. mama jumped in.."mana tak pening kepala mak bapak. sorang anak nak kene suruh tido....sorang lagi nak kena paksa jgn tido utk baca buku. sorang anak nak kene ajak tengok tv...sorang lagi nak kene paksa tutup tv. sorang anak terlebih2 bergaya, sorang lagi nak kene suruh bergaya sikit. sorang anak nak kene suruh keluar, sorang lagi tak menyempat nak keluar...ternginjang2. hangat je buntut nk keluar rumah" memang aa. hafiz hashim mencelah, "itu baru tiga orang, anty...saya ade 6 org adek beradik. haaaa. cuba bayangkan. lagii macam2 kerenah". huhu. taknak lah bayangkan.
so, anywaaay. sori terdivert. alhamdulillah alhamdulillah alhamdulillah. sedap, makan ikan. sebenarnya, sangat tak sangka ade orang nak blanje. we owe you big time. ishh. mahei2 plus lah bubble tea. dan macam2 lagi.. tapi, kalau macam ni lah gayanya, bleh la slalu pergi purdue eh. lepas makan, bersembang for the last time as a group like this with these two sis, malam pun dan tua. itu tandanya, masa utk ke walmarrtt :) last time shopping utk iphone dan cekelat.
noww, dah balik rumah, pack sket2, gedebak gedebuk, tidurrr..lepas subuh bangun dan sambung balik..... haa..you must be thinking "sambung blk tidur". dok aih, sambung balik packing lah! saye dok dapur preparing breakfast. ramai dijangka hadir.
sejam pergi dan sejam lagi balik...that was how long it took us to get to the airport and back home. mcm biasa, seronok je..bercerita ape sume. ade moment2 yang menggetarkan jiwa. kat airport, ade lah banjir sikit kan...saye tumpang melihat je kejadian banjir tu. nak wat cammane lagi kn. hari dah mendung...in case you didn't notice, ateeqa nasha tgh cakap beralas.
all in all, sadis jugak lah..i'm never good with goodbyes. but that's life. people come and go. but memories stay. sori lah agak cliche. but it's true :) alhamdulillah, i'm blessed with such lovely sisters and brothers. at the end of the day, in spite of me, having no biological sisters, Allah grants me with spiritual and social sisters who mean just as much to me as mia familia. and they're all not just from purdue...from many places! including a few sis whom i've never met but are in touch like crazy bff who talk and share almost about everything! subhanallah. you know who you are...:)
