Cahya

Assalamualaikum,

Alhamdulillah, arrived at Taiping 5 pm this evening. Just nice for me to prepare 2 dishes for today's iftar. Even though there's a change in the menu, the foods are edible... Yeay! Well, having 3 sort-of-expert-guy-chefs and a younger I-don't-simply-eat-normal-food sibling sometime can be "motivating" :D Oh well.. at the end they always finish all the food!

The most exciting thing in this whole wide world is, of course named Cahya Laila As-Syifa. I've been so excited to get home to meet her... to be around her. This feeling is... wonderful. It remind me exactly back to 25 years ago, when Achik got home from her school and stop by to visit a baby girl, named Haffizzatul 'Aini Aton. Yes, that's me, and Achik (despite that she's my auntie) has always been the sister of all purposes for me. She once said: "You were so small, and so cute.. but suddenly here you are... Already a big girl".

The same moment touches me.

This is Cahya Laila As-Syifa... So small, so vulnerable, so innocent. She can even fit on my arm. She grows up everyday... Born 2.56 kg, after 3 weeks she's already 3.4 kg. Time flies each days and I, I might miss that moment. Then I can quoted back Achik's statement; you were so small, and so cute.. but suddenly here you are... Already a big girl. After today, she'll grow up fulfilling her fate, chasing over her dreams, finding the love of her life... She'll start another wonderful family then. And the so the story continues.

Babies amazed me. They always do. The purest of soul, born to be the khalifah of ALLAH; born to be HIS servant. Their small hands clutched tightly holding the promised they made to HIM. The promised most of us forget through our birthdays. These babies... You just got to look into their eyes... Those are the faces in heaven.

How could anyone not love these babies..? How would..?

Parents and parent across continents would die to have HIS amanah.
But sadly, parents and parent here and there willingly to let their baby die, so that they can live on.

What kind of heart these human being carried in their body, I wonder…

Wassalam.

Sleeping Child by Michael Learns To Rock

The Milky Way upon the heaven is twinkling just for you
And Mr. Moon he came by to say goodnight to you
I'll sing for you, I'll sing for mother, we're praying for the world
And for the people everywhere gonna show them all we care

Oh my sleeping child, the world's so wild but you've built your own paradise
That's one reason why I'll cover you sleeping child

If all the people around the world, they had a mind like yours
We'd have no fighting and no wars, there would be lasting peace on earth
If all the kings and all the leaders, could see you here this way
They would hold the earth in their arms, they would learn to watch you play

Oh my sleeping child, the world's so wild but you've built your own paradise
That's one reason why I'll cover you sleeping child

(Cover my child) I'm gonna cover my sleeping child
(Keep you away) keep you away from the world so wild
Keep you away from the world, away from the world so wild

Oh my sleeping child, the world's so wild but you've built your own paradise
That's one reason why I'll cover you sleeping child
Oh my sleeping child, the world's so wild but you've built your own paradise
That's one reason why I'll cover you sleeping child
