PERJUMPAAN MALAYSIAN YANBU

Warga Malaysian Yanbu yang kebanyakannya terdiri dari tenaga pengajar di Yanbu Industrial College dan Yanbu University College (Male & Female Campus) telah mengadakan perjumpaan terakhir untuk semester ini.

Memandangkan cuti musim panas yang bakal tiba dan hampir semua akan pulang bercuti selama 2 bulan , maka kami berhasrat untuk mengadakan jamuan " Makan2+ Sembang2 ".

Perjumpaan ini turut dihadiri oleh rakan-rakan dari Singaporean Yanbu yang juga merupakan tenaga pengajar di Institusi pendidikan tersebut.

Perjumpaan diadakan di rumah kami dan jamuan diadakan secara "Potluck". Jamuan istemewa adalah nasi briyani ayam yang dimasak oleh En. Ayob, kueh karipap dan bubur kacang yang disediakan oleh tuan rumah.

Tak kurang juga yang menyumbang agar-agar kemenyan, nugget, sayur goreng, kurma ayam, baklava+ roti-cheese (makanan famous kat sini - mostly in every occasion mesti ada roti ni). Akhir sekali penuh le meja makan kami dengan beraneka makanan.

Perjumpaan ini juga sebagai menghargai persahabatan yang telah dijalinkan dan juga kesedihan kami di atas perpisahan dengan En. Raj yang akan meninggalkan Yanbu.

Salam perpisahan dan selamat datang kepada bakal warga Malaysia Yanbu.

Ibuku Pulang ke Rahmatullah

By : Hubby (SHAH)

22nd May 2007...one month ago my mother, my super Mak had passed away due to liver failure. She was hospitalised in Penang General Hospital for four weeks.

I rushed back to Malaysia once I received SMS from my niece about her condition a day after she was admitted to the ward.

She was so helpless..lying on the bed liked a baby. Hardly opened her eyes and her stomach was bolted due to her sickness. For that one month, she ate nothing accept water and milk which was fed from a tube. I wish I could replace her place or I could donate half of my liver for her so that she can live longer.

I supposed to take her with us to Yanbu when we come back for summer vacation next June 28th and then take her for Umrah. That was what we had told her many times and I knew she was fondly waiting for that moment.

During that 2 weeks period ( for I only had emergency+ annual leave max 14 days) , coincidentally my sister (Yong) had passed away due to her long heart illness in Taiping. She was fine on the day I visited her. She looked so cheerful and she gained her appetite on that day and ate "baklava" I brought for her. At one time she looked so happy to see me and suddenly her face turned gloomy, but she tried her very best to hide it away. It was probably when she saw me in front of her, I think she already knew that there must be something worst happened to Mak though nobody told her that. Maybe she feel so sad that she can't visit Mak in the hospital.

The day after I went back to Penang to be with Mak, because I thought she will survive because previously she had a much more crucial situation but with Allah Will she stayed longer than we ever thought. She had her surgery in 1997 and she was a strong women. I bought her new wheel chair a month before and I wanted her to be at home as soon as possible and use that chair. I love Yong very much and I know she knew that. She's the one who was taken care of me when I was a boy. I used to say "cuat Yong" (buat susu Yong) when I wanted milk to drink.

Out of sudden, the next day I received a call telling me that she was admitted to the ICU unit. After 3 days, she did not show any response and improvement. She was totally depending on machine ventilator. Then, my brother in-law(Abg Lop) asked the doctors if there any improvement or anything that they can do to help her? But the doctor said , " Let it be God Will, we had precsribed her the highest dose of drug. Nothing much else we can do". Unbearable to see her situation, he decided to bring her home. After 2 hours , came home, she had died peacefully on her own bed, the same bed she slept for the past 30 years. That night Abg Lop and I were talking about his memories with Yong and suddenly I saw tears running down on his face. He lost someone he loved, a true love, a wife who was his companion for more than 30 years. While, I lost my sister who had taken care of me instead of Mak. Our tears was totally different. Now, he will be alone without his companion and lonely. To me lonely .. is killing. Suddenly the thought of my wife came to my mind. Alhamdulillah ... I still have my wife...my lovely wife.

After her funeral, all of us was discussing whether shall we tell Mak about this ?? Everybody says no. "No you should'nt, that will worsen her", says Cu, Mak youngest sister. We decided to keep as secret and nobody will tell her. That is our promise.

We went back to Penang after Yong funeral. We don't want to left Mak alone. Now, is our turn to look after her. Although nothing much we can do but being beside her was a feeling that you can't share with other people. We waited the moment when she open her eyes and smile to us. I wanted that moment again which I already missed for 8 months since I moved to Yanbu.

16th May 2007. Today, I must go back to Yanbu. My unplanned vacation had came to the end. As usual, I went to the hospital early in the morning. That was my last day with Mak and I knew I will not see her again. That morning for the first time she opened her eyes and smiled at me. I talked to her and asked her forgiveness. I kissed her cheeks and forehead and I knew that will be the last. The doctor told me her condition was not so good and her blood pressure was very low. I called my brother(Abg Wahab) and asked him to come. He and my sister in-law (K.Yah) arrived half an hour later. They started to recite Al-Quran and surah Yassin.

The clock was showing 10.30 am. Abg Wahab reminded me to leave to the airport now, because the traffic condition here was unpredictable. I had to catch my flight at 12.00 noon. He told me not to worry about Mak because they would be there to look after her.

Deep in my heart, " I'm very sorry Mak, I have to leave. I hope Allah will permit us to meet again and if not in this world but in alam Akhirat..." I am preparing myself for any worst situation might happen. This time, I hugged her quite long and kissed her and told her I have to go now, and told her my wife and my children will come back on 28th June 2007 and they will come and visit her. I knew she missed my son, Amzar very much. Amzar was once stayed with her for a month before we flew to Yanbu. To her Amzar just like me. She told me to take care of Amzar and not to be "rough" at him.

Just one week after I came back to Yanbu, I received the bad news. It was an sms from my nephew, Faidz. The words were : Opah dah meninggal pukul 6.30 ptg.(Grandma had passed away at 6.30 p.m)

Inna Lillah Wa Inna Ilaihi Raji'uun.

Al-Fatihah to Mak and Yong

KEMBARA KSA # 2

Tanggal 29th September 2006, jam 5.30 pm... kami akan bertolak ke Yanbu. Jam 3.00 pm pihak hotel telah menyediakan van untuk kami ke airport. Setelah pemeriksan rutin dan check-in kami bergerak masuk ke kapal terbang. Hati berdegup kencang..entah macam manalah Yanbu ni....harapnya macam tempat sendiri.

1 jam setengah dalam penerbangan....7.00 pm akhirnya kami sampai di Yanbu....kami berbuka puasa dalam kapal terbang sahaja. Sebaik sahaja keluar dari balai ketibaan..suami saya disapa oleh seorang lelaki Saudi mengenalkan dirinya sebagai wakil daripada Royal Commission Jubail Yanbu. Alhamdulillah...Allah mempermudahkan perjalanan kami. Dia memperkenalkan dirinya sebagai "Abdul Jani" walaupun "business card" ditulis "Ghani".

Dalam perjalanan ke rumah yang telah disediakan (dalam hati..macam manalah rupa rumah aku ni) kami melalui bandar Yanbu Al-Bahr, iaitu bandar asal Yanbu. Kelihatan di kiri kanan jalan raya tersebut keadaan rumah yang cukup dhaif...macam kena "bom" getus hati ku. Most of the houses and shops macam nak runtuh atau mungkin dah runtuh. Mungkin penglihatan kami kurang jelas akibat waktu malam tetapi suamiku nampak gelisah. Rupa-rupanya kepalanya berserabut memikirkan nasib kami kelak apabila melihat keadaan rumah sedemikian. Katanya "sama seperti di Sudan". Mengimbau pengalamannya semasa bekerja di Sudan dua tahun sebelumnya.

Kemudian kami menghampiri kawasan yang diterangi oleh cahaya "neon" dan dari kejauhan kami pasti wujudnya penempatan yang lebih baik, InsyaAllah. Terpandang papan tanda : Marhaban Ila Yanbu Al-Sinaiyah. Nampak senyuman terukir di bibir suamiku...mungkin hatinya lega seperti juga hatiku. Alhamdulillah.

Road to KSA

Tanggal 28 September 2006, after all the tedious process we have been gone thru for the past three months, finally terbang le jugak kami sekeluarga ke KSA. Bawak anak 4 + husband. Yanbu ???&*%^%$^%#@ macam mana la agaknya town ni.....

Try explore ikut google earth tak cukup clear. Daripada cerita2 orang dekat tepi Laut Merah. Dekat ngan Madinah.. So hopefully.. berbaloi la hijrah kali ni. Worried jugak .. siap bawak bekal ubat2 an . Kalau travel sendiri tak pe lagi.. ni bawak anak semua bawah 6 years.. Kalau sakit tak tahu le medical services ok ke tak... so dengan 5 beg termasuk bekalan makanan 1 bulan dan ubat-ubatan...

Hari ni 3rd Ramadhan, nampaknye berpuasa kali ni lama la...bertolak 2.00 petang. Naik2 depa serve drink .. ok lagi kasi anak makan siap2 supaya tak bising..Lepas tu , bila serve lunch and dinner ... emm sabar je la...Dalam satu kapal tu penuh dengan Jemaah Malaysia yang nak buat Umrah bulan Ramadhan. Tiba-tiba ada seorang yang look really familiar - fikir2 punya fikir tanya husband sape tu ? Dia kata itu Ust Harussani - Mufti Perak. Alhamdulillah berkat le kot penerbangan ni . Flight first stop kat Riyadh. Yang turun kami anak beranak jek. Yang lain continue to Madinah.

By the time sampai Riyadh, Malaysia time tunjuk 12.30 mlm.. tapi kat sini baru kul 5.30. Tak masuk waktu lagi.. waaa.. sabar je ..sikit lagi.. nak buka puasa... Hubby pulak turun naik pergi cari counter utk dapatkan Hotel yang provided by Saudi Airline. Hari pertama yang agak payah untuk kami....Kakitangan Saudi Airline pulak berdolak-dalih mengatakan bukan kerja diaorang...tension+lapar+letih = MENYAMPAH & BENGANG!!!.

Bila dah dapat surat dari pihak airline... wakil hotel pulak hilang....pergi berbuka puasa...Tunggu punya tunggu...2 jam lepas tu baru datang..letihhhh...anak-anak dah tergolek tidor atas bangku airport. kesiaannn....

Akhirnya dapat jugak kami pergi hotel untuk berehat selepas 3 jam stranded kat airport. (macam cerita TERMINAL pulak). Alhamdulillah.....Allah itu maha mengasihani.

Alhamdullillah dapat trip rehat satu hari di Riyadh. Anak2 tak le letih sangat, boleh rehat then continue back our journey. Next day we flew to Yanbu.

Hotel Al-Mutlaq di Riyadh. We had a big suite and good food. Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) now here we are...for the second time after 2002 umrah.
