ANM... Terima kasih.
Selain telah menghantar e-mel kepada PAT (di sini) dan Pak Menteri Datuk Seri Utama Rais Yatim (di sini), saya turut menghubungi beberapa agensi kerajaan di Kedah dan Perlis seperti ANM, Perpustakaan Awam, JKKN, UiTM. UUM, Polimas dan IPG. Apa yang saya cuba tekankan ialah menyemarakkan semangat kecintaan terhadap negara kita yang satu ini. Juga, saya memaklumkan bahawa saya bukannya ejen untuk menganjur seminar. Peranan saya hanyalah memberi 'contact persons'. Sekiranya berminat, agensi berkenaan hubungilah mereka. Sama ada mereka bersetuju atau tidak...Wallahualam.
Semasa 'kitchen cabinet meeting' selepas 9-holes, saya terima panggilan daripada Perpustakaan Pulau Pinang menjemput saya sebagai Pengkisah pada 8 September 2012 di Pulau Pinang. (Kucing ini pun nak tumpang manja ketika orang sibuk bermesyuarat. Dia betul-betul mengingatkan saya akan 'Tuah' yang kami sekeluarga sungguh sayang tetapi telah pergi...di sini). Saya mencadangkan kenapa tidak dijemput juga para veteran daripada TDM. Saya boleh memberi nombor individu berkenaan untuk mendapat butir selanjutnya. Bagi diri saya sendiri, jika tiada aral melintang, Insya-Allah. Saya bersyukur kerana ada para veteran yang sudi menjadi pengkisah. Malah, 2 hari sudah saya terima e-mel daripada seorang rakan seperjuangan dari Kuala Lumpur yang sedia melibatkan diri sekiranya ada undangan.
Rasanya, coretan tentang topik ini ditamatkan di sini sajalah.
Saudara Nor,
BalasPadamThis time I am only going to comment on your lover for your cats and how much you must miss Tuah the cat who gave so much love to your family. Only those in similar situations will understand that Tuah was not just a cat but was a member of your family. Those who have never own pets will never understand the void it leaves in our hearts when they are gone. The familiar meow the purring the body rub on on our feet and hands are hard to forget and often leave our eyes moist when we think of their ethics and the joy the company and happiness that they gave us.
My wife and I too have two cats a mix of Siamese breed. The female (Momo) is now 14 years old and the male (Socks) 12. They were actually not our cats, they belonged to a senior manager of Petronas Cari Gali En Yahaya who is of Iban race and who lives ten houses down the same road we live. They were much loved by the Yahaya family but for some strange reason one day 12 years ago Momo decided to migrate to my house and just refused to go back to it's owner. We sent it back to it's home several times but it keep coming back and slept at our front door. Finally Yahaya decided that since Momo refused to come back we could keep it if we wanted to. My wife was rather reluctant at first but at the behest of my daughter relented. Later Momos son Socks joined his mother and that is how we inherited these two cats. To day they have become the love of our lives and and become so much part of our family whom we love and cherish. From this experience I can feel how much you must have loved Tuah .
