TOPEXUP TOPIC - CORETAN PERIBADI A.TAUFEK@TOPEXUP

Eclipse. Yes eclipse.

Not that Twilight Saga eclipse... The actual one. It will happen on June 26th. You should perform Solat Gerhana Bulan instead of hitting straight to movie theater for Twilight Saga.

Semalam saya ke Melaka. Tujuan utama untuk mencuba rawatan alternative untuk ibu saudara.

She has been suffering from colon cancer. Dah buat chemotherapy. Sekarang ni kaki kiri pulak bengkak. Bertongkat kalau berjalan. Doktor tak tahu apa sebabnya. Tapi kena follow up check hujung bulan June.

Rawatan alternative itu di Bukit Pegoh Melaka. Orang yang datang pun ramai, Melayu, Cina dan India. Ada disediakan katil untuk semasa rawatan tu. Ikut giliran. Ibu saudara saya dapat nombor 8. Itu pun buat dua pusingan selepas habis lebih kurang 30 katil lagi "doktor" visitation. Dekat-dekat 4 jam saya di sana.

Sebaik selepas rawatan ibu saudara cakap kaki dia ringan sikit. Mudah-mudah kurang penderitaan dia, Insyallah.

She is the greatest sister I ever had. We had a lot of memorable younger days. I still remember going mengaji and chased after by the swans, climbing cherry tree, playing batu seremban, war games with green beans as pallets to name a few.

Speaking about mengaji, she always got started first although I was there earlier. To make sure it did not happen very often, I had to leave her and made my foot steps early for 1km walk to Pak Lah's house (not our ex-PM for sure).

My sister was well taking care off by my late father although we are not born with silver spoons in our mouth. My late father caller her jampuk (an owl probably, I am not sure how she got the nick name though). I wondered then, why my sister got all the attention and now I know. Being a father myself to 2 lovely daughters, I would have done the same.

Among other things I will remember forever, she got me whipped by a rotan by father for screaming out loud while father was on his afternoon nap. But tok mak came to rescue and put ointments. Tok mak passed away last year.

Those are yesteryear's...

Here is my sister, my niece, emak back from umrah and me.

My sister is my greatest sister in the world, she is one and only sister, that's why.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIS!

My wife, 2 daughters now have facebook. They want me to have my own. Now here is my first posting in the blog. Let's see where I go from here.
