KENANGAN YANG TERCICIR: Rontok Frankfurt
Turun dari pesawat pada pagi 24 November dingin itu, terus saja menelusuri sebuah kawasan bandaran di tengah Frankfurt yang mewah dengan souvenir. Tiada yang menarik minat selain aroma roti bakar dan beberapa keping poskad. Sayang tidak dapat berlama-lama di sini.
Krismas lagi sebulan, tetapi di sana sini sudah ada jualan sempena perayaan. Barangkali selari dengan musim dingin yang datang sangat awal. Saya tidak menyangka, setelah 10 tahun tidak menempuh musim dingin, perjalananan kali ini benar-benar menguji kerana dinginnya tahap ekstrim.

JURUKAMERA
Raya kelima. Ada kenduri keluarga yang perlu dikendali dalam mood raya. Tetapi ia progam yang akan menghimpunkan seluruh ahli keluarga dan kerabat.
Derap pengantinWalimah Izzah, anak bongsu Mak Ngah agak besar. Mak Andam nampak tergesa-gesa benar dan jurukamera yang menjadi pengiringnya pula tiada. Lalu saya terpaksa menjawat tugas baru. Menjadi jurukamera.
Debaran dua mempelaiSifar pengalaman namun saya cuba belajar dan melakukan yang terbaik sebagai kenang-kenangan pengantin dan keluarga. Terlalu banyak lagi yang perlu dipelajari tentang fotografi.
Menyarung tanda cinta

EIDIL FITRI 1432H
Salam lebaran buat semua. Maaf batin dan zahir. Kullu 'aam wa antum bi alfi khayr. Eidil Fitri tahun ini kami sambut di Senggarang. Tentu sahaja burasak menjadi pilihan utama keluarga, namun saya berjaya beroleh lemang.
Burasak. Juadah tradisi Bugis pada pagi raya
Ziarah ke rumah saudara-mara sebelah isteri agak meriah dan menyeronokkan kerana kami berkonvoi tiga empat buah kenderaan. Hampir semua rumah-rumah "wajib" kami berjaya ziarahi. Jadual ziarah bermula seawal jam 10 pagi dan berakhir hampir 11 malam.
Di rumah Tamrin, Parit Jabar
Di rumah Kak Atik & Abg Malek di Parit JabarSelepas asar raya kedua, kami sudah bertolak ke Endau. Tiba di Endau jam 10.05 malam. Suasana hari raya yang biasanya meriah di Endau masih berbaki, namun mulai raya ketiga kami akan mulai bertungkus-lumus untuk sebuah kenduri walimah yang besar di rumah Mak Ngah.

ANDAINYA RASULULLAH ADA DI SISI KITA
لو كان بيننا الحبيب
لدنا القاصي والقريب
من طيبة قبل المغيب
طالباً قرب الحبيب
بقربه النفس تطيب
وتدعوا الله فيجيب
أنوار طه لا تغيب
بلغنا لقاه يا مجيب
فدتك روحي يا حبيب
محمد مكرم الغريب
بقربك الروح تطيب
يا رحمة للعالمين
If the beloved were among us
Those from far & near will come to him
Hoping to see the sun of goodness before it sets
Desiring to be near to Him
In His company the soul feels great
On that moment If it prays to Allah, Allah will surely answer
The light of Taha will not cease to exist
Oh You who answers prayer please fulfill our hope to meet him
I am willing to sacrifice my life for you
Oh beloved
Muhammad honor of strangers
In your company the soul feels great
Oh mercy to all the worlds (s.a.w)

PETIKAN ASIATIC
Who are the writers who inspire you most? We understand that you admire the works of Keris Mas, Shahnon Ahmad, Hemingway and Faulkner. What distinguishes them from other writers?
Generally, the four of them excel in their narrative skills; their works are wellordered and contain rich thematic and artistic elements. They know their language well and manipulate it very creatively. We are taken on a journey, observing people and their every day experiences in a way that is vivid and convincing. We are invited to experience their physical world and partake of their (the characters') spiritual and emotional spheres. There are also philosophical and educational subtexts in their works which help to enhance the intellectual experience. Thus, in their works, we not only get to observe characters and events, but also experience profound ideas.
You also like the works of the Indonesian writer Pramoedya Anata Toer. Is it for the same reasons?
Yes, for the reasons I mentioned above. Furthermore, if we compare him to the other four writers, Pramoedya's life was far more difficult; he was politically oppressed and incarcerated. In spite of all that, however, he held on to his idealism and poured it all out into his writings, to the extent that we could see his life in his work. I also like Pramoedya because of the affinity of his narrative prose to Bahasa Melayu. It is not Indonesian like that of most contemporary young Indonesian writers. In some of his works, the language seems very much Malay,clear and well-ordered, like the narrative language of Keris Mas – and of courseclear writing comes from a clear mind.
Who are these young writers you have in mind?
I am thinking of, among others, Zaid Akhtar, Faisal Tehrani, Nisah Haron, Mawar Shafie and S.M. Zakir. They write with a clear literary awareness and vision. They are different from a number of other writers who crave for popularity by writing pop fiction.
