Hilang tidak berganti

I went to West Sumatera twice. I love the place and the food and the scenery too. I love the hotel that i stayed, Ambachang Hotel in Padang and The Hills (Novotel) in Bukit Tinggi. Cozy room, great ambience and great food too. Eventhough i was a but x puas ati coz all television channelled were conquered by Indonesians, i mean takat nak tengok sinetron, kat Malaysia pun ada.

Especially the scenery, definitely.. From d deep blue Hindi Ocean, Teluk Bayur to Sianok Canyon, I love them all..

Entering the fifth day since the magnitude 7.6 quake struck on Sept 30, the stench of death overhung the city of Padang while rescuers tried in vain to find people still alive. - tu ayat suratkhabar .. and my heart goes to all West Sumatera people.

ONCE, I was mesmerised by the dancer holding candle-plate image at a window grill in Buya Hamka's house at Danau Maninjau. A quaint house on top of a hill facing a serene blue lake.

Wish the quaint house and the villagers will survived too.

The boy who is holding the Oxford dictionary is Haffiq Ikhmal.

His beloved mom passed away peacefully at 11 last night after long battle with kidney failure.

The kids (Tikah, Illy, Oya) and I went to give last respects to her this morning. A sombre mood.

I remembered exactly how our siblings felt when we lost our wonderful father in 1999. Even until now we still missed him deeply.

Dear Ikhmal, be strong and we hope you'll pull through.
