1993.1999.2008

first of all thank you to all of those who called and texted me asking how i was with regards to the landslide...aku rase sangat terharu...all of ur concerns have touched me deeply....alhamdulillah our house is not that near to the bungalows...however what's worrying is our street is quite near to the point where the landslide occurred..which or still is happening/happened at jln wangsa 9...

i woke up to the sound of a helicopter hovering over my house at 5.30 am...it practically made me jump out of bed...as i peered from my bedroom window i saw the chopper circling an area not too far from my place with its spotlight on and scanning the area including our house....to me it was rather alarming that the chopper was flying a bit too close (more of too low) for comfort...this went on for abt an hour and what further fueled my bouts of paranoia was the blaring sounds of sirens tak putus2 ...2 things came to mind= a landslide or a fugitive is prowling in our area..although the latter is highly unlikely but it should not be a factor that could easily be eliminated kan...the whole house couldnt sleep thinking abt what could actually be happening...plus bunyi bising chopper tu memang tkleh tido pon...so we waited anxiously for the morning news in case they have any information of what's going on....true enuff the news at 7 confirmed that there was a landslide....and when they mentioned kat tmn bukit mewah n near the masjid i felt as if jantung aku dh jatuh smpi perut...a frend of mine lives there....basically my brother went down to see what happened and when he came back all he cld say was it was really really bad and massive and basically a major disaster...lagi la aku takot...we were basically glued in front of the telly and waited for the breaking news every half an hour...i felt useless...times like this aku tk tau ku boleh buat ape beside keeping vigil....thankfully all of those that i knw are safe now and are seeking shelter at their relatives...

although taman bukit mewah is not that near to our house,the point where the landslide occurred is quite near to us...n to make matters worse a few days earlier a minor landslide happened below our house which was at the road leading up to bukit antarabangsa....almost at the site where the first major landslide happened in 1999..itu aku kene evacuate...sebab memang realy close to our place...although right now no authorities have instructed us to move out we have stuff packed just in case.....all i can say is that going to bed every night is an ordeal....u may never knw what is to come...n i tell u mlm semlm aku nk tido punye takot....asek terjaga aje...tersentak2...mcm having an out of body experience...nowadays every day that we wake up is a blessing....we used to take things for granted but man always start to lament on life and God when tragedy strikes.....and then they,we tend to forget and be too absorbed in the artificial,material,and transient worldly matters...

and the sounds of sirens have yet to subside...

and i am slipping into sweet uncertainty...

salam eidul-adha..
