Yesterday was the third time I attended "Perhimpunan Setia" here....
KP talked about raya holiday planning..... work arrangement, office saftey precaution etc... the normal stuff... he mentioned that he'll be on early and long raya holiday.... to spend more Ramadhan with his mother this time...
I guess the most interesting talk yesterday was the story told by P(L)....
Titled "Budak Nasi Campur".... on how a boy who was angry and dissatisfied with his mother ran out from home... a clear rebellious act... and how he then later realized that he was hungry... yet no money to buy food.... he stopped at a restaurant... peeking the dishes, tasting the dishes only in his own imagination...
The owner neared him.... "Are you hungry??? You can have anything you want to eat... Just choose what you want and fill up your stomach..."
Obviously, an offer the boy could not deny... Quickly filled up his plate, with many and repeated thanks to the owner....
The owner neared him again... once the boy finished up his meal.... "What happened to you? Why are you here alone?".... and the boy told him the whole story...
"Young boy, you have just met me.... yet you have thanked me many times for the meal. Your mother made you food, do your laundry and many things more.... How many times have you thanked her????..."
Hmmm.... Thank you Mak... Ma.... Ibu... Mummy... Mama...
