After a certain age, your parents slowly become your children. They ask simple questions, repeat stories, and depend on your patience the way you once depended on theirs. Very few understand this role reversal. What looks like innocence or inconvenience is really time coming full circle. Don't correct them harshly. Don't rush them. Care for them the way they once protected you. This is not a burden. It is repayment.

Does anyone just get bored and turn on a movie and decide you're not ready for that kind of commitment. So you grab your phone and just scroll through social media for the next few hours?
Working five days a week is wrecking my life. I hate squeezing my entire life into a two-day weekend because I’m too exhausted to do anything after work. I can’t believe this is considered “normal.”
back in university, i told my economics seminar that most successful companies survive not because they’re brilliant but because they cheat, manipulate and trap everyone else in their failures.
the auditorium went silent, half the students smirked nervously and the professors looked at me like i’d just opened a coffin in the middle of class.
later that week, the dean cornered me. he didn’t argue, just leaned close and said, chris be careful.
the truth is a luxury no one in power wants you to afford... speak too loudly and doors close before you even knock, that’s when i realized: academia doesn’t reward honesty, it rewards compliance.
the real lessons are darker than any textbook. i hope you learnt something? buena suerte.
Having a fat salary and a healthy workplace is such an underrated privilege.
You leave at 5pm, No micromanagement, WFH supported, Disagree with boss is okay, Leave approved without questions.... It's all a blessing. Take care of it .
Tau tak kenapa orang meninggal dunia?
Ya, sudah tentu lah sebab ajalnya dah sampai. Tapi sebenarnya, rezekinya telah habis di dunia. Ustaz pernah kata, apabila seseorang hampir sampai ajalnya, malaikat akan pergi ke timur dan barat mencari rezeki untuknya..
Namun, apabila tidak ditemui lagi, saat itulah dia dipanggil pulang. Jadi, jangan terlalu risau tentang rezeki sampai membuat kita menjadi kedekut atau berkira..
Sebaliknya, dengan bersedekah dapat mengelakkan kita daripada musibah dunia..
Selagi kita masih hidup, ada bahagian yang Allah masih ingin beri. Jadi, tawakkal lah kepada allah dan teruslah menambah saham akhirat kita..
Tadi anak aku tidur awal.
Husband ajak borak.
Tiba-tiba dia cakap,
> “Sebenarnya kan, hidup kita ni happy je. Kita terima je rezeki kita. Tapi disebabkan mulut orang, kita jadi tak bersyukur.”
Aku terus tanya,
“Kenapa bie?”
(sebab aku dah rasa pelik).
Dia cerita…
Anak buah dia pernah tanya,
“Uncle tak nak ke pindah rumah yang facilities lebih baik?”
Lepas tu cousin dia pulak pernah cakap,
“Biar betul kau tinggal sini?”
Kami tinggal di **Flat**.
Rumah ni husband beli masa kami baru kahwin.
Waktu tu gaji kami biasa-biasa je, memang **layak** pun beli rumah ni.
Aku pula jenis,
tak beli rumah pun tak apa,
tapi kalau beli **jangan mintak aku tolong bayar**.
Jadi masa tu, kemampuan dia memang Flat je.
Lagipun Damansara nok…
harga rumah semua harga *Zi0ni$* 🤣
Pernah juga dia offer,
kalau nak rumah landed kena pindah Rawang.
Tak kuasa aku nak travel hadap jemmm…
aku nak rumah dekat dengan opis, kalau boleh depan rumah je aku nak jalan kaki….
Ditakdirkan gaji dia naik,
husband beli **satu lagi rumah** di Negeri Sembilan.
Rumah landed, untuk kami habiskan sisa tua nanti.
Cuma…
ramai family & saudara **tak tahu** pasal rumah ni.
Dan ya, dua-dua rumah **dia bayar sendiri**.
Dia tak pernah sentuh gaji aku.
Gaji aku untuk **entertainment & education anak*
Aku bangga dengan husband aku.
Dulu mampu Flat je,
tapi dia tak pernah susahkan aku,
Malam ni dia down sebab mulut orang.
Aku pujuk dia…
“Buat apa kita beli kondo mahal,
lepas tu 50/50?
Aku ni palatao…
dibuatnya aku tiba-tiba nak jadi suri rumah,
tak ke pening kau nak cari duit sorang-sorang?” 🤣
Aku cakap lagi,
“Tak selesa bagi orang lain
tak bermaksud tak selesa bagi kita.”
Demi Allah, aku **bersyukur**.
Sebab kami pernah tengok kenalan yang beli rumah 800k,
lepas tu salah satu pasangan kena layoff,
akhirnya terduduk, terciduk,
pening nak setel instalment yang asalnya 50/50.
Aku pegang tangan husband dan cakap,
> “Bie lelaki **Qawwam**.
> Aku pula **Qana’ah**.”
Dia terus peluk aku.
Sedih sebenarnya…
Aku percaya ramai suami Qawwam
dan isteri Qana’ah dalam dunia ni.
Tapi sebab **mulut orang**,
ramai manusia jadi **kufur dengan nikmat Allah**.
