Hidup ini bukanlah selalu keras.
Ada masa ia tenang tapi kasar permainannya.
Dan kau selalu mahu terlihat berjalan tegak
walaupun kau sebenarnya merangkak.
Batinmu menjerit tak ada kata.
Yang tak menangis cuma mata.

Before hitting the road homeward bound tonight, I had a rerun to Suraya Tomyam right across from Kuantan Air Base. I swear the Sup Sayur I had at dinner last night was THE best I’ve had in my entire life. But I was wrong. The best was the one I had for the second time tonight. And what was even better… my meal was served in less than ten minutes!
Kuantan, I love you!

“Lord help me to be strong,
on this road I travel on.
When I’m lost and lonely,
find me.”

If I were a fish, this would be me swimming in the air. And if I were a bird, this would be me flying underwater.

My Favorite People
This photo was taken in 2008.
Kitreena was 6, Edrick was 3, Bibik was 40.
And I was miserable.
The only peace I could find then was when I took these favorite people of mine to (then) The Guoman Resort (now Thistle), in between visits with my Mom at HUKM.
Once, during Mom’s breakaway from the wards, she requested to be taken to a beach. I took her here. She played in the sand like a child. A happy child.
I have not taken Monchies back to this private beach since 2009. Since Bibik left, since Mom’s passing and since Monchies and I went to Moscow and since we came back.
It is no longer a favorite place for the remaining of my favorite people who are here with me, my Monchies. But maybe it deserves another visit.
Just maybe.

In green or grey and especially blue,
I put things away and I ran straight to you.
In silence or chaos where there was no clue,
I walked past it all, made my way to find you.
On calls or online, on DM’s, on Yahoo,
I was read, I was heard, I was glad there was you.
But when words disappeared much too soon all fell through,
No WhatsApps, no FaceTimes, no more words, no more you.
When reasons and logic unspoken, overdue,
It was time to read the signs, I so noticed the cue.
I neither begged, nor I asked, all the hopes went adieu.
We were not meant to be, we didn’t make it to “I do”.
It’s a matter of fact, true good men are too few.
I am back to square one. I’ll wait while you queue.

Ini baru sticker olok-olok tau. Esok petang kita lekatkan Car Body Sticker Hari ATM Ke-89 sebenar yang waterproof 25cm x 25cm tu di lengan Abang Harris kita. Kiri kanan kita tampal. Atas hidung pun kalau sesuai, kita tepek juga.
Ini kali pertama kita ke Kuantan. Sebelum-sebelum ini kita cuma ke utara (Lumut, Ipoh, Sungai Siput, Sungai Petani), ke selatan (Batu Berendam, Terendak) dan berlegar-legar di kawasan tengah (Subang, Sungai Besi, Mindef). Tak pandang ke timur pun. Jeling-jeling manja je dua tiga kali. Tapi tak pergi.
Kali ini kita berkubang dua tiga malam di Kuantan, tempat kita berdating bila bulan mengambang di zaman-zaman Teluk Chempedak sunyi sepi dan tak riuh rendah macam sekarang. Zaman tu Teluk Chempedak punya ejaan pun CHEMPEDAK lagi. Sekarang dah CEMPEDAK aja. Musim CHINTA telah berlalu. Ah!
Kalau ada masa selepas rehearsal pertunjukan aset ATM petang Sabtu nanti, kita jalan-jalan berpegangan tangan di Pantai Gelora nak? Dah lama jiwa tak rasa gelora macam dulu-dulu. Kalau ada kudrat lah.
Ahad kita explore Kuantan, kalau larat, kalau rajin, dan kalau tak sesak sangat. Dah umur segini, sebenarnya terasa malas nak meredah lautan manusia. Apatah lagi lautan luas. Dulu, lautan api sanggup kita renangi. Gelora asmara melanda pun kita rela. Sekarang… hish! Darling carry pun kita tak sudi.
Isnin, masa D-Day nanti kita berkumpul di Pangkalan Udara Kuantan semula ramai-ramai biar meriah sambutan Hari ATM ke 89. Bukan selalu kita dapat limpas pintu masuk utama PU Kuantan tu. Selalu lalu-lalu saja.
Tahun depan sambutan Hari ATM Ke 90 kita minta penganjur buat perancangan awal-awal, buat lah event waktu hujung minggu. Jangan Isnin — sebab boss kita nak bagi cuti Isnin hanya kerana kita nak tengok aset tentera, mukanya kelat benar nak lepaskan kita. Nampak sangat kita nak spend gaji beli barang Airwings, katanya.
Tapi percayalah, kita akan kumpul banyak kenangan di Kuantan tahun 2022 ini. Esok kita basuh kereta, vacuum dan wangikan Abang Harris. Lepas tu kita refuel full tank siap-siap sebab manalah tau kalau-kalau lepas event kita terlajak ke Rantau Abang pulak walaupun Abang kita tak ada kat sana.
A shoutout to our left-handed pilot who initiated the effort for this HUT ATM 89 patch way before August 2022.
Eh!

Tak mungkin hujan turun hanya setitik.
Tak mungkin rindu bertahun hilang sedetik.
