if anyone were to ask how abah was when i was growing up, id say, garang as hell.just a look, a stare and it can make me (particularly) freeze from doing whtEver the hell i was doing (obviously wrong la kan haha)
but one thing i always like to remember during those years, was being able to hold abah's hand whenever i feel like it.
he use to rub it at his newly shaved chin, and it will tickle me and make me laugh all the time...
during my teenage years, i was too buzy being like any normal teenage aka gaduh tak sudah with mama, and abah was still that authority figure that always says no to whatever teenage activity i plan to join..even before i xplain the detail of it.
one particular thing i remember was the day i was taking my SPM result, he called from his office and said "no matter wht the result is, please come back home first".
i did well in SPM by the way, but i love the fact that ive got parents who are smart enough to ensure home is safe is anything wrong were to happen.
i joined the government for one reason only..(okay two):
(i) to fulfill my patriotic/national responsibility; and
(ii) to continue the legacy of having a government servant in the family
(iii)well of course the money..lalalala
and now tht it has been 8years after taking this decision, im still proud i took (or rather my abah pushed me into joining..hehehe) the decision to do so..
abah still was abah even through my first few years of my working life...even when i moved out to bangi, he would still give me a call everynow and then, some headlines in the news has something to do with young ladies being raped/beaten/missing...i will get a lecture on coming home early, knowing whom im mixing with, etc etc etc...
and to be honest, now that the responsibility has passed to my hubbs, i cant believe i miss those times..
(yes those annoying times..haha)
im glad that us having ashraff and the decision to move back to buloh...he can teach our bb ash all the tricks and discipline he's had to be where he is now (and of course the constant 'silent' argument on which football tops the list (yes yes, liverpool vs manchaster U...buerrrkk haha)
and now it has come to this.so abah, its my turn to take care of you.
our turn.
