Addicted.
Addicted to lagu Syariffah Alwiyah! The difference from last time is it's the 2D version of the song. 2D is a malay group who sings lagu dikir. So sensual. So Arabic. The song is so melodious. Aww.....I regret not listen to this song before painting my Syariffah Alwiyah piece. I 'll upload it as my bgsound as soon as possible. *Imagine dancing with an arab beauty in the red sea to a very Mediterranean beat accompanied by the dreamy plucking of the Oud* ahhh
Bertandak sambil bercanda
Ikut goyang pingul
Rentak timur tengah
Cari cucuk sanggul Syariffah Alwiyah
Katakanlah di mana
Di sini kisah bermula
Di pantai laut merah
Di bawah sinaran purnama
Syaaban malam ke dua puluh dua
Syariffah Alwiyah bermandi manda
Bersama dayang istana
Berkembankan kain sutera mayang
Digerbang aduhai ayunya
Berderaianlah airmata di pipi gebu Syariffah Alwiyah
Diiringi dayang istana seiringan senada seirama
Di manakah cucuk sanggul beta
Lambang kedaulatan istana
Petanda bahawa sesungguhnya
Beta ratu seluruh timur tengah
Ah......Bliss. [i am not too sure with the words. Different lyric search engines ah.]
Madrasah just now was entertaining. Recess main bola behind the old masjid. One of my classmate, Syafik, brought the ball. Incase you didnt know I am kaki bangku. Main keeper arh aper lagi. I think i did pretty fine blocking the ball. I even scored to the other goalpost from my goalpost. Kaki bangku luck I guess. hahah. Tapi lawa arh. Bounced once over Amsyar dan whizz past Syafik and GOAL! Dorang pun bodoh tengok ajer. Also kite feeling MW. Madrasah Warriors. Signed the our names on the ball and everything. I'm number 27. Then naturally we got scolded. Haha. Luckily our Ustaz is Ustaz Abdul Rahim. He's too nice to even try and scold us. Instead he told us about his nostalgic past. He was from Tampines Primary School, the really old one[non existence anymore]. He told us he use to be in the soccer team and they had matches with Yio Chu Kang Primary where Fandi Ahmad was in. Cool huh? Then he told us about the terompah wearing gangsters back then. He also knows the most effective silat to deal with these gangster. Prepare yourself. Its the Langkah Seribu. When he told the class we were all laughing like olang gile! Some truth though, better run than get yourself in a sticky situation.
Then as family we went to look at ponds. My mom wants to get a pond for the house. I told her it isnt even close to hari raya or anything. Then she said, "Nvm, i just want to hear the sound of flowing water. I need to relax." Ouhkay... We might even buy those garden chair swings [seen mostly in indian gardens] for the house in the future. Then we all went to Bedok South to eat. I had my first plate of Mee Kuah. Been wondering for a long time how it taste like. So sedap jugak arh. Then balik and tidur. Very hot these days.
Finally i get myself looking foward to go Mecca and Medinah again. Maybe its because i am older and therefore i can appreciate going there again. Wonder what is new. Now i got another reason to get fit. Tawaf 7 rounds, Sai 7 kali to Safa' and Marwa. My bgsound describes this...
Ke sana ke sini lari lari kecil
Bagai Siti Hajar mencari air
Terpancur sinar di kering pasir
Bekas hentakan kudus kaki Ismail
Maybe i'll run all the way to see how it was like for a desperate mother. The ustaz said that the underground passage to go and see the actual Telaga Zam Zam is closed to increase the space for people to tawaf.
Here's a brief summary of my last visit in 1998.
Air plane. Bus ride from Jeddah to Medinah Al munawarah. Cold weather in Medinah. Azan from Masjid Nabawi. Masjid Nabawi -white marble flooring surrounding the mosque, the Green Dome, the soft prayer carpet, the Air Zam Zam dispenser, the beautiful lights, Praying at Rasulullah's house 5 times daily [technically], The three makam, the peacefulness. , the delicious cheap grub -shawarma and potato wedges, the streets full of vendors selling knick knacks. Badam Dates. Then wearing the ihram before proceeding to Mekah. Stop over. Ayam Pangang. Labaikallah humma labai, Labaikallah syari kala kala labai..... Mekah. The Masjidil Haram. Security check. No cameras allowed. Ahh Aircon. Every step to seeing the Kaabah. The Kaabah! People tawaf-ing. We were to join them. Breath taking. Telaga Zam Zam. Cold Zam Zam from pipes. Pure joy and fullfilment. Sa'i. Aircon as well. Tiring. Cukur 3 helai rambut. Great stuff at Mekah - 1 riyal ice cream [equvilant to 50 cents] smooth sweet Halwa. Short summary ajer. hehe
Saturday i went to dikir with no expectation people would come. It was very enjoyable. I am the only budak east. Seeing Apai torturing the gong by hitting it hard macam mainan, i took over. I am emotionally attached to the gong arh. hehe. Weird. Wan came down again. Learnt a new song. Old song technically. After all that Adi had a chat with me. He read my post about leaving the group for another. Thinkng again, i realised that i cant bring myself to go to another group. Being in a group is like being in a marrige. All the memories are tied with the group. If something bad happens then will have to find a way to make it better not run away. May Tumpat succeed to a standard that will pale the dikir world.
Too long already!
