Suatu Renungan Buat Semua...

Terpanggil untuk menulis post ini dalam bahasa Melayu, setelah membaca tulisan Nur di dalam post terbarunya. Maaf terlebih dahulu dipinta jika tulisan kali ini agak 'offensive' atau menyinggung mana-mana pihak. Sebenarnya, telah lama terfikir untuk menulis tentang isu ini, menyuarakan rasa tidak puas hati saya tentang perkara ini.

Terus ke cerita utama. Izinkan saya menulis sedikit sebanyak mengenai tempat saya dilahirkan. Saya dilahirkan, dan seterusnya dibesarkan oleh datuk dan nenek saya di Felda Sungai Panching Selatan. Suasana kampung yang sangat harmoni. 

Saya meninggalkan kawan-kawan sebaya di Felda ini sewaktu saya mula-mula diterima masuk ke SMK Seri Kuantan, sebuah sekolah asrama. Kerana jarang pulang ke kampung, saya mula mengalami kesukaran untuk menghubungi mereka. Baru-baru ini, pada hujung tahun 2008, saya telah dikejutkan dengan sebuah klip video yang tidak bermoral. Seorang gadis sebaya saya bersama-sama dengan seorang lelaki sedang melakukan seks di dalam ladang. Sepupu saya, seorang pelajar perempuan yang berumur 16 tahun telah menunjukkan video tersebut kepada saya. Pada amatan saya, ternyata penglihatan saya tidak salah. Gadis sebaya saya itu adalah rakan saya sewaktu di Darjah 6. Kami tidak rapat, tetapi saya mengenali dia sebagai seorang rakan. Cerita di sebalik klip video itu lebih teruk lagi. Rakan saya ini telah bertunang. Lelaki di dalam klip video tersebut bukanlah tunangnya. Daripada cerita yang saya dengar daripada sepupu saya, rakan saya ini telah putus tunang sebaik sahaja video klip ini tersebar. 

Itu cerita pertama yang ingin saya kongsi. Kisah kedua adalah mengenai sahabat saya, seorang pelajar lelaki. Ingin saya tanyakan terlebih dahulu, seramai manakah anak-anak Felda yang berjaya ke menara gading jika dibandingkan dengan yang gagal di bangku persekolahan? Terlalu sedikit. Nisbahnya suatu yang tidak patut. Sahabat saya ini berjaya menghabiskan persekolahan dengan mengambil SPM, tetapi dia telah gagal (yang saya maksudkan dengan mendapat gred F bagi subjek Bahasa Melayu). Tiada seorang pun anak Felda yang berjaya lulus dengan cemerlang di SMK Seri Panching. Akhirnya, rakan saya ini telah menjadi seorang pengurus ladang. 

Aneh, memang aneh apabila saya pulang ke kampung dan berjumpa dengan sahabat-sahabat lama saya. Mereka semua bertubuh besar dan tegap, rupa mereka kasar dan ada antara mereka yang kelihatan seperti sudah berkahwin. Apabila saya tanyakan, rupa-rupanya pekerjaan mereka yang menjadikan mereka seperti itu. Sesetengah mereka telah berhenti sekolah sebelum mengambil PMR dan bekerja di ladang dengan mengambil upah meracun atau menabur baja. Ada antara mereka yang bekerja mengait buah kelapa sawit dan menjadi kelindan lori. Memang pekerjaan mereka itu tidak mungkin dapat dilakukan oleh saya, tetapi tidakkah tempat mereka sepatutnya di sekolah?

Bukan hak saya untuk menuding jari kepada mana-mana pihak berkenaan dengan masalah ini, tetapi telah menjadi tanggungjawab saya, walaupun hanya seorang cucu peneroka Felda, untuk mencari inisiatif bagi menyelesaikan masalah ini. Kita cuba lihat sebagai professional, dan bukannya seseorang yang menulis bagi melepaskan geram. 

Agak jauh telah saya melalut. Maaf kepada pembaca. Tentu anda telah bosan dengan cara penulisan saya yang terlalu mengikut format seperti kertas peperiksaan. Ada satu lagi cerita yang ingin saya nyatakan. Jika di bandar, membawa motosikal tanpa memakai helmet adalah suatu kejanggalan. Tetapi, di Felda, ianya seperti satu perkara biasa. Di tempat saya, kanak-kanak berumur 10 tahun sudah boleh menunggang motosikal adalah perkara biasa. Fenomena mat rempit di tempat saya amatlah berleluasa. Kanak-kanak diasuh dari kecil, sejak memiliki basikal pertama untuk melakukan aksi-aksi berbahaya. Di hadapan rumah datuk saya adalah sebatang jalan yang lurus dan berbukit. Jadi, setiap petang, dapatlah kami melihat aksi-aksi berani anak-anak Felda yang ingin mendapatkan lebih momentum. Daripada kanak-kanak yang berbasikal (sambil melakukan aksi-aksi berbahaya) sehinggalah kepada remaja-remaja belasan tahun yang menunggang motor 'scrambler'. 

Saya bukannya seorang yang telah mendapat ijazah luar negara (insyaAllah, beberapa tahun lagi), tetapi saya ingin menggunakan sepenuh ruang yang ada untuk berkongsi pandangan saya terhadap kemajuan Felda. Bukannya marah kepada pihak tertentu kerana tidak diberikan biasiswa (mahupun saguhati) atas kejayaan 10A, tetapi cuma mahu mengingatkan rakan-rakan. Ingin saya ingatkan sekali lagi, pendapat dan kisah yang saya tuliskan ini cuma dari perspektif saya, di Felda Sungai Panching Selatan, Kuantan. Akhir kalam, sejuta kemaafan buat semua pihak.

for life is a funny thing

Sometimes, when I was about to fall asleep, I went back to think about things that I had done in the day time. By doing that, I was able to see either my days are worth or not at all. Once I think about it, I realized that I waste too much time doing unnecessary things. My priority is not yet organized, and my life is not yet properly scheduled. This very evening, I look at my right and saw Wahid, my loyal roommate and responsible friend. Then I turned to my left and saw Adib, my helpful roommate and a really caring friend. I stare in my front side and ponder. Ponder, ponder and ponder again. I was the ‘weakest’ among all my roommates. Then my ideas flow extremely fast from my mind. So I grab a piece of paper and try to list down what has been the disturbance for my priority to be yet unorganized.

So here’s the list that I’ve made.
1. When those guys and girls were studying during their free time, I loiter around talking
rubbish, listening to the tracks I admired so much or just sleeping all by myself.
2. When those guys and girls were studying during their free time, I surf the internet for a
new tracks or gig flyers on Myspace, strumming my guitar in front of my laptop to learn
new licks and solo or leads. What a waste of time.
3. While those guys and girls were busy studying during weekends, I woke up at 1 o’clock and
have my lunch, before going out to either play bowling, snooker, jamming or went for
karaoke. I wasted my money, my precious time and eventually my future.
4. While those guys and girls were doing the homework given by the lecturers, I sat down,
doing nothing but stared at those toiling companions. I procrastinate, again and again.
5. In every class, I want them to end early. I have no passion to study. Not at all, and I think
that I was critically lazy.

So there it goes. However, there are some others that I can’t show. It’s too personal.
This track, Bosan from Roti is very nice. It was taken from their album Ilustrasi Mimpi.

“Bosan dengan hidupku, mengapa jadi begitu, kemanakah hilang semangatku”

For life is a funny thing.

the cheese cake story

A few days ago, on the Chinese New Year’s eve, my family and I went out to do some shopping. We spent quiet a lot that day, yes; we look like we have a lot of money but in fact, we don’t. We bought my little brother’s Adidas shoes (which cost him almost RM300), my new jacket, my father’s new t-shirt and also my youngest brother’s new sandals (there’s more, but I can’t list them down). During dinner, I asked my mother if she wanted to try a Secret Recipe cheese cake. So I bought her three slices of the cake, as I may recall, that is Black Forest, Blueberry Cheese and Chocolate Cheese. Some of them were very nice to her, but some other was too ‘cheesy’. Talking of the cheese cake, I remembered something very nostalgic. My girlfriend likes cheese cake very much. I remembered back one time when we went out together, while waiting for the commuter at the station, we shared a cheese cake. That is the time when I feel very close to her. She always likes the cheese cake, even if it was not a Secret Recipe one. So come to think about it, I missed her so damn much. I think I should make it up again with her. We have been fighting for times recently, and I think I acted terribly on that. It was my fault. Enough about my personal matters, I know you like (menyampah betol aku bace blog Syahmi ni, x abes2 citer pasal awek…) with my blog. My most sincere apology for that.

We all enjoyed the day very much (please note that we refers to my family and I, not my girlfriend and I). Our economy has been quiet approving recently, for my father has to go outstation for times in a month (he worked as a Radioactive Protection Officer, a RPO, who grants license to factories). However, I can’t help but to worry about him. The trip from Kuantan to Butterworth is not a stone’s throw away, and he was just taking the bus there. I had always prayed for his safety during the trip.

Syahmi is; worried about his father, missed his girlfriend so much and thankful to God.

For True Friends are Forever...

Last Friday...

Is when I learned what does true friends means...

Morning, on the way to INTEC...
Shasha drive me to INTEC, because my guitar is too big and I don't want to take the bus with the guitar on my back...

Before lunch...
Wahid said, "Syahmi, sori r, aku x dpt bawak ko sbb aku kene blik sblum Jumaat..."
That's what best friends does; Apologize if they can't help...
Then I said,"Kalo camtu, ko tolong r bawak balik gitar aku..."
That's what best friends does; Help whatever, whenever they can...


Then Shasha called me, "Syahmi, ko nak balik ngan aku ke?"
That's what best friends does; Offers help whenever they can...
And I said, "Xpe r, Shasha... Aku balik lepas solat... Thanks..."
That's what best friends does; Refuse in the best way they can...

On the way to PJ...
I said, "Let me fill the tank first... Leyn..."
Then she said, "Too late, I've already filled it..."
That's what best friends does; be proactive whenever they can afford...
Fauzan said, "Let me pay for the parking..."
I said, "Haha.. Just like we have to pay any..."
Then he took out his Touch and Go card to pay the toll...
That's what best friends does; Say bad things, do good things...

While getting lost...
I said, "We can call the centre, but I don't have enough credits..."
They both say, "Use mine!!!, but you have to do talking..."
That's what best friends does; Never be too stingy with one another...

When I was losing hopes and giving up...
I said, "Forget about it, guys... Let's go back..."
Nur said, "No, not yet... Let's look around just a little more..."
That's what best friends does; Be supportive... At all times... By all means...

When I make a joke on the most expensive u-turn...
Everybody laughed loudly, even with the unsolved problems...
That's what best friends does; They chill, even in difficult times...

When we found the Greenpacket building...
I said, "There's no parking around here... Somebody have to wait in the car..."
Nur said, "I'll wait... Just don't be too long..."
That's what best friends does; Volunteered for help... Even with boredom and risks...

In the building...
Paan called me, said, "Bas Cityliner bunyi bising giler r... Baik aku naek Sani.."
Hahaha....
That's what best friends does; Share disappointment with each other...

At Ole2... Before karaoke...
Afiqah called me, "Weyh, aku nampak ko!!! Ko sombong ngan aku ek..."
I said, "Ye ke? Aku x pasan pown ko... Jom r pegi karaoke..."
That's what best friends does; Talk to each other whenever they got the chances...

Before going to Section 17 for the bus...
I said, "Jom Zul, hantar aku kat Seksyen 17... Nanti aku topup r minyak..."
Zul said, "Ngan beg banyak gini? X kisah r... Jom..."
That's what best friends does; Help each other, regardless of the time...

While waiting for the bus...
Nani came to me and my girlfriend, said, "Awek ko ney Syahmi? Name ape?"
"Shiqin..." "Owh... Nani..."
I just watched and smile... Meet my girl, Nani... hahaha...
That's what best friends does; Know each other's significant other...

For TRUE FRIENDS ARE FOREVER...
