Alhamdulillah.. I feel blessed that in this life, Allah has granted me with a loving family. I’m the eldest with four siblings. The rest are brothers and 1 sister. My youngest sister has just got her SPM result and now pursuing her study at Uitm Penang. Since my 2nd brother is now doing his practical in KL and 3rd brother is studying his 1st year degree in IPBA, there is no one at home to watch over my emak when my abah is away for work or doing his duty as a super passionate teacher. We all in the family are well known about abah conditions as a very active teacher which is not like the most of normal teacher we always see in school. Abah has his own tennis class and taking part time job coaching tennis at Uitm Shah Alam. Abah once told me that he has no regrets to become a teacher. He found his way to build up his interest in sports and music throughout his career as a teacher. He strongly encourages his children to follow his step. As a result, 3 of his sons are now in the teaching stream line. 
Back to emak. I called her few days ago. She said she feel bored. There’s no one at home. She called me few times but nobody picked up the phone. I was not at home. Since I don’t have my hp now, the only ways she could get connected with me are through ym and my home number. I was quite surprise when my mom endured to learn how to use ym just to chat with me. Well done emak! And now, every morning when I wake up from sleep, there always be an offline message from emak. Haha.. Next time I will make she learn how to use skype. Huhu. I still remember those moments during my childhood where my emak was a very strict mother! You should never say no when she asked you to do something. If you beg for mercy, it is wiser to beg the mercy from Allah and not from my mom! Haha..You won’t get a single chance! Anyway this is only applies to his own children. I would describe my childhood period as a time of full of thrill and adventure. We don’t need alarm clock to wake us up every morning. Just listen to her voice yelling from kitchen, you will feel that earthquake is striking your bed with 6.6 Richter scale. 
However, despite her fierce attitude towards his children, I could see that she loves her children more than she loves my abah. Haha.. Oopss… Don’t get me wrong. That’s because abah always ‘mengejek’ emak and make fool of her. There was a time when hafiy called my mom and needs pocket money to go to Pahang by the next day. Hafiy was in SM Sains Selangor which is 40 minutes away from home. Emak cepat2 siap tapi abah cakap tunggu bola abis dulu! Then my emak started to cry. She said she is the only one who always cares about her children. Well, it doesn’t make any sense though… Hafiy will be going on the next day. So there was no need to be hurry. While emak keeps crying, abah suddenly mocked the way my mom cries. Wuwuwuwu abah said… Me, hazim and yan who were surprised by abah actions could not help from laughing. My mom started to get angry. Eventually right after the soccer match finished, abah and emak went to send the money.
There are many other examples where I could see how concern my mom towards her children. It just that she knew she cannot give face to her stubborn children if she wants to see her children succeed. And now, all of her children have grown up. Things are no longer the same as during our childhood period. I see my mom now as someone who will do everything possible to give happiness to her children. When I said I want to get married, she didn’t take any 2nd thought to discourage me. Also when Yan really wants to continue her study at Uitm instead of pursuing her STPM, my mom tried her best to get help from her friends to get Yan admitted to the University.
To my beloved brothers and sister (Hafiy, Hazim, Yan), should you read this message, I want you to remember all the efforts and money spent by emak and abah just to get their children as where we are now. Never ever forget all those moments of hardship and difficulties we have gone through during our childhood period. One day, emak and abah will be called by Allah and at that time, only our prayers that could contribute into their accounts in hereafter. It is our duty as their children to be a good son and daughter, so that they will not have to take the blame from Allah for our misbehavior in this life. Jaga solat 5 waktu. Sentiasa doakan mereka setiap kali lepas solat. You guys are bestowed with intelligent. Alhamdulillah.. But merely intelligent without ‘deen’ is completely nothing! We pray that Allah will place emak and abah among the believers and ahlul jannah… Amin.
