Tsunami Selepas Setahun

Anak2 Ku,

Pada hari ini, setahun yang lalu dunia telah dikejutkan oleh satu malapetaka yang sangat dahsyat. Kedatangan gelombang ombak tsunami menghempas pantai Acheh di Indonesia, Phuket di Thailand, Sri Lanka dan juga di Malaysia.

Hari ini, seluruh dunia bertafakur sebentar mengingati bencana yang telah mengorbankan ratusan ribu nyawa. Acheh adalah kawasan yang menerima penangan yang paling teruk. Mungkin ini lah gambaran kepada perumpamaan 'padang jarak padang tekukur'.

In Aceh, Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono set off a siren at 8:16 a.m. to begin a minute of silence.

"It was under the same blue sky exactly a year ago that Mother Earth unleashed the most destructive power among us," Yudhoyono said in a flattened coastal suburb of the capital Banda Aceh.

A 9.15 magnitude earthquake, which lasted eight minutes, set off waves 10 metres high that smashed into shorelines as far away as East Africa, sweeping holidaymakers off beaches and erasing entire towns and villages."

Bagaimanapun, kejadian Tsunami ini juga membuka peluang ke arah kedamaian di bumi Acheh yang berpuluh tahun berkonflik.

But the tsunami did bring one positive side effect in Aceh – it resulted in a cease-fire between the government and guerillas to end a decades-old separatist conflict.

The Star, 25 December 2005

Semalam, semasa menonton rancangan Majalah 3, Ayah tertarik dengan wawancara yang dibuat dengan seorang jurucakap Gerakan Acheh Merdeka tentang pengajaran yang dapat diambil dari kejadian Tsunami ini.

Antara lain katanya, lebih kurang berbunyi:

"Kejadian ini mungkin pengajaran dari Tuhan. Tuhan mahu tunjukkan, berpuluh tahun kamu berkonflik (antara GAM dan pihak tentera Indonesia), lebih kurang 15 ribu yang mati. Tapi dengan kuasa (kemurkaan) Aku, dalam 15 minit saja, terusberatus ribu yang terkorban"

How true. Kekuasaan Tuhan itu tiada batasannya.

Teringat terjemahan zikir yang selalu di baca beramai2 selepas solat Subuh masa di asrama dulu,

Tuhan ku, aku tidak layak untuk Syurga Mu
Tetapi tidak pula aku sanggup menanggung siksa Neraka Mu
Oleh itu kurniakan lah keampunan kepada ku
Ampunkan lah diri ku
Sesungguhnya Engkau lah pengampun dosa dosa besar

Kebesaran Allah memang jelas dan nyata tapi kita, manusia, tetap alpa, sikit hari lagi lupalah semua

Mental Blogging

I have to apologize the very few kind visitors who may have hopped in and found no new updates. Sorry lah ya. It's not that I was totally out of the blogsphere. I still blogged.....but only in my head. Just like the case when you are making mental notes of what you want to do, I was doing mental blogging almost every day since my last entry in early March. Most of the time, I compose my entry while I was driving to office or when I was taking shower at home. Sometimes I managed to compose one or two paragraphs or may be just one or two sentences. The only difference was instead of typing and post the entries at blogger, I posted the 'entries' in my head. So when there were so many entries were left to accumulate in my head, it may have affected the running of the cpu in my head a bit. May be it got me carried away a bit. Being in the state of blogging but yet not blogging kind of feeling. Until yesterday. Yes I was caught in the traffic jam so bad that I decided to blog via

Kisah Ibu dan Anak

Abg Akmal : "Ibu, Ibu kena beli ni" sambil menuding ke arah iklan U-zap dalam TV. Ibu : "Kenapa? Ibu dah gemuk ke" Abg Akmal : "Ye lah, Abang rasa Ibu dah gemuk!!". Ibu : "Eishhh, kurang asam punya budak". **************** Anak (jantan) Ku, May be when you are old enough, I will have to pull you aside and give you my fatherly advice - that remark that you just said to your Ibu, don't ever say it again in front of any woman. It could start a world war! ***************** End of filler post. More serious note will come later when I have more time to breathe.
