World Cup

England... Pasukan pilihan yang diramal bakal menggegarkan Piala Dunia 2010 dengan barisan bintang-bintang bolasepak yang terkenal. Tapi setelah mengharungi dua perlawanan dengan permainan yang hambar, mereka  hanya berjaya mengutip dua mata. Malam ini menjadi malam perhitungan antara hidup atau mati dengan Slovenia. Melihat kepada dua perlawanan awal, adalah sukar untuk meramalkan apakah peluang pasukan England untuk terus mara.

VS

England 2   Slovenia 0

"Kepelikan Orang Kita"

Aku ni bukanlah orang yang sensitif sangat. Selalunya benda-benda camni aku tak layan. Paling tak pon aku membebel sikit,mengumpat sikit pastu abis. Tapi hari ni tah apasal aku jadi agak sensitif. Mungkin sebab kat office tadi ada kawan yang terasa dan terkecil hati(menjangkit kat aku virusnya). 



Camni ceritanya bermula. 

Petang tadi dalam pukul 6.45 petang aku on the way balik kerumah, cam biasalah aku lalu depan surau dekat dengan lorong kerumah aku. 

Adala seorang "orang surau" yang aku cam mukanya(kira jiran sekampung la ni) sedang berdiri didepan rumahnya sambil memandang kearah aku. Aku pon perlahankan kereta(memang tgh perlahan pon) dan sambil tersenyum mengangkat tangan pada hamba Allah ni. Dia dengan muka sombongnya terus memalingkan muka dan terus masuk kerumah. 

Aku punyala terkedu, tak sangka la pulak begini reaksi "orang surau" yang aku rasa sepatutnya lebih ramah dari aku. Mungkin dia ada masalah tapi takkan angkat tangan pon takleh, kalau pompuan pahamlah(dtg bln kot) tapi ni lelaki. Peliklah. dan kisah ini jugak mengingatkan aku pada saat ibu mertua aku meninggal awal tahun ni. Ada ke orang tengah sibuk nak kebumikan arwah yang si Imam ni sibuk pasal duit kebumi dan van jenazah. Sebut sekali cukuplah, ni kalau dah tiga empat kali, sape tak panas. Nasib baik aku takde kat situ masa dia sibukkan pasal duit tu (aku sempat tengok arwah sebelum dikebumikan je sbb masa arwah meninggal aku & family kat Kelantan) kalau tak mau aku campakkan duit tu kat muka dia.

Aku pon tak paham ada jugak segelintir "orang alim ulamak" yang perangai camtu. Aku ingatkan mereka-mereka nilah "contoh dan teladan" untuk diikuti, tapi kalau tak tahu menghormati majlis & sesama manusia aku pon tak tau apo nak dikato. Den ngaji tak tinggi, skolah ugamo sampai darjah onam jo. bak kata Nabil " LU PIKIRLAH SENDIRI, ASSALAMUALAIKUM"
