Reflection for the day : Stranger

Hi my lovely and admire friend. We now at the end of of journey in UTM and you will decide which you need to choose after graduation. By the way we'll struggle to score a good grade for final examination. The so-called never ending assignment that keep tailing us from year one will be ending now. Congaratulation to all the best presenter from both 3SSB and 3SSG. We are the last birds from SSB and SSG era. I have analyse that the committee have divide the winner according to quota(according to races) i think.By the way, you are the good presenter after all! maybe one day you will represent our country at UN meeting perhaps. So my lovely friend especially i want to dedicate something to you before we leave UTM as undergrad. A lame story , with a lots of grammar mistake.A true story for me,maybe for you..read it!

Few years after I was born, my Dad met a stranger who was new to our small taman. From the beginning, Dad was fascinated with this enchanting newcomer and soon invited him to live with our family. The stranger was quickly accepted and was around from then on.

As I grew up, I never questioned his place in my family. In my childish mind, he had a special niche. My parents were complementary instructors: Mum taught me good from evil, and Dad taught me to obey. But the stranger... he was our storyteller. He would keep us spellbound for hours on end with adventures, mysteries and comedies.

If I wanted to know anything about politics, history or biotech also civil engineering, he always knew the answers about the past, understood the present and even seemed able to predict the future! seems like one political party motto (past,present and future)..ahaks..He took my family to the first major league ball game. He made me laugh, and he made me cry when watch Nur kasih (not me..but occur to some girls ). The stranger never stopped talking, but Dad didn't seem to mind.

Sometimes, Mum would get up quietly while the rest of us were shushing each other to listen to what he had to say, and she would go to the kitchen for peace and quiet.
(I wonder now if she ever prayed for the stranger to leave.)

Dad ruled our household with certain moral convictions, but the stranger never felt obligated to honour them. Profanity, for example, was not allowed in our home - not from us, our friends or any visitors. Our long time visitor, however, got away with four-letter words that burned my ears and made my dad squirm and my mother blush. My Dad didn't permit the liberal use of alcohol but the stranger encouraged us to try it on a regular basis. He made cigarettes look cool, cigars manly, and pipes distinguished. He talked freely (much too freely!) about sex. His comments were sometimes blatant, sometimes suggestive, and generally embarrassing. .


I now know that my early concepts about relationships were influenced strongly by the stranger. Time after time, he opposed the values of my parents, yet he was seldom rebuked... And NEVER asked to leave.

More than fifty years have passed since the stranger moved in with our family. He has blended right in and is not nearly as fascinating as he was at first. Still, if you could walk into my parents' den today, you would still find him sitting over in his corner, waiting for someone to listen to him talk and watch him draw his pictures.

His name?....


wonder to know?

We just call him 'TV.'
(Note: This should be required reading for every household!)
He has a wife now....we call her 'Computer.'
Their first child is "Cell Phone".
Second child "I Pod "

All the best for your journey. May Allah bless you..
Best regards;
Umid Davala..
