Word 'I LOVE U'


Always love your loved ones...
After 21 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take another woman out to dinner and a movie. She said, “I love you, but I know this other woman loves you and would love to spend some time with you.”

The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my MOTHER, who has been a widow for 19 years, but the demands of my work and my three children had made it possible to visit her only occasionally
. That night I called to invite her to go out for dinner and a movie. “What’s wrong, are you well?” she asked.

My mother is the type of woman who suspects that a late night call or a surprise invitation is a sign of bad news. “I thought that it would be pleasant to spend some time with you,” I responded. “Just the two of us.” She thought about it for a moment, and then said, “I would like that very much.”

That Friday after work, as I drove over to pick her up I was a bit nervous. When I arrived at her house, I noticed that she, too, seemed to be nervous about our date. She waited in the door with her coat on. She had curled her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary. She smiled from a face that was as radiant as an angel’s. “I told my friends that I was going to go out with my son, and they were impressed, “she said, as she got into the car. “They can’t wait to hear about our meeting.”

We went to a restaurant that, although not elegant, was very nice and cozy. My mother took my arm as if she were the First Lady. After we sat down, I had to read the menu. Her eyes could only read large print. Half way through the entries, I lifted my eyes and saw Mom sitting there staring at me. A nostalgic smile was on her lips. “It was I who used to have to read the menu when you were small,” she said. “Then it’s time that you relax and let me return the favor,” I responded. During the dinner, we had an agreeable conversation – nothing extraordinary but catching up on recent events of each other’s life. We talked so much that we missed the movie. As we arrived at her house later, she said, “I’ll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you.” I agreed.

“How was your dinner date?” asked my wife when I got home. “Very nice. Much more so than I could have imagined,” I answered.

A few days later, my mother died of a massive heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I didn’t have a chance to do anything for her. Some time later, I received an envelope with a copy of a restaurant receipt from the same place mother and I had dined. An attached note said: “I paid this bill in advance. I wasn’t sure that I could be there; but nevertheless, I paid for two plates – one for you and the other for your wife. You will never know what that night meant for me. I love you, son.”

At that moment, I understood the importance of saying in time: “I LOVE YOU” and to give our loved ones the time that they deserve. Nothing in life is more important than your family. Give them the time they deserve, because these things cannot be put off till “some other time.”

UGYUR

Untuk memahami sebab dan akibat sesuatu perkara berlaku kita perlu melihat kembali sejarah. Sejarah bagaimana Kaum Uighur menjadi sebahagian daripada China Kaum  Uighur  jika dilihat dari sosok tubuh badan serta perwatakkanya, jelas sekali mereka tidak seperti kaum majoriti dari Kaum Han. “Ketahui kenapa Negara China mahukan Xinjiang” Bahasa pertuturan, perwatakan, budaya dan cara hidup mereka jelas sekali berlainan dengan Kaum Han. Kebanyakkan Kaum Han bermata sepet dan bertutur dalam bahasa Mandarin. Bagi kaum Uighur mereka menggunakan bahasa Turki dalam pertuturan harian mereka. Kaum Uighur tinggal di Xinjiang yang terletak barat China dan Timur Turkistan. Kedudukan Xinjiang Strategik Kedudukan  Xinjiang  yang strategik dalam peta laluan sutera menyebabkan bumi mereka sentiasa dijajah. Wilayah  Xinjiang  bersempadan dengan beberapa buah negara iaitu, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Pakistab, Rusia, India, Kyrgyzstan dan Afghanistan. Kedu...

Sekadar Bicara mengenai lagu kesukaanku

Lagu-lagu kenangan zaman dulu masih terkesan dengan liriknya. Memang sangat menghayalkan namun ia tetap mekar di ingatan walau telah berusia puluhan tahun. Masih boleh diingati bila lagunya dimainkan...Aku adalah pencinta muzik jenis ni. Tak kisah orang nk cakap old fashion or what.Lagu-lagu zaman sekarang juga banyak yang bermutu dan sedap namun macam tak dapat bertahan lama. Pernah aku tengok ada org condemn lirik lagu rock. Itu ini semua x kena namun ia sekadar sebuah lagu. Sesetengah lagu menceritakan perkara sebenar dalam sebuah kehidupan.sesetengah lagu liriknya sekadar terlintas difikiran maka terjadilah sebuah lagu. Pendapat masing-masing adalah berbeza. Semua org berhak bersuara.Macam makanan la x semestinya makanan kita suka sama macam org lain. ada suka cencalok ada suka tempoyak ada suka tempe ada suka kimchi. Nampak x ada berbagai menu kan. So what u can do just respect others. so that we can live peacefully on the earth. Merindu Tanpa Kata Kapilla ...
