Assalamualaikum dan Salam Sejahtera

Kajang Mari

Tok Harun dan Nek Madznah dah tiba buat kali pertama untuk mengunjungi Ahmad Iman Iskandar. Tok Jamil dan Nek Azizah menemani mereka. Kesemua mereka datang berkunjung pada sebelah pagi. Menjelang tengah hari mereka dan aku serta isteri juga akan ke Gombak untuk menziarahi sahabat kami Ghazali yang sedang beransur pulih daripada keuzuran. Kami bercadang mengadakan pertemuan sahabat bekas pelajar seasrama di rumah Ghazali sebentar lagi nanti.

[Jamil Saeran (Atuk Jamil) & Azizah Abdullah (Nenek Azizah)]


Harun dan Madznah datang dari Kg Sungai Kantan, Kajang manakala Jamil dan Azizah dari Kg Sg Sikamat, Kajang. Kami sempat minum dan bergambar bersama-sama sebelum bertolak ke Gombak. Perhatikanlah foto kami yang . . . (ini memang masuk bakul angkat sendiri) . . . pasti menarik.

[Pandai AII "jaga baik" Nenek Kajang ni.
Maklumlah Nenek ini yang hantar minyak urut AII!]


[Wah AII asyik didukung Nenek Azizah nampaknya]

Santai di d'SUARANG 4


Assalamualaikum dan Salam Sejahtera

Orang Tanjung Dah Mai

Dialog lagi . . . bagi syok sikit . . . sebab Encik AII ni kadangkala suka juga berlakon. Dialog kali ini antara OA (Opah Alimah) dengan AII le. OA baru belajar dialek utara . . . . jadi macam-macam bunyi mungkin tercipta di ruang peti suara penuturnya. Fahami sajalah maksud kata berseni yang terkandung dalam rangkap berima mudah di bawah ini:

Buah langsat di tepi pagar,
Ada galah dijolok-jolok; Sudah adat jadi pelajar,
Bila salah diajuk-ajuk.


OA: Sapa pulak yang mai tu AII? Pi jenguk sat ... Macam kenai ja.

[AII menjenguk keluar dan datang balik menuju ke arah OA lalu berkata . . .]

AII: Entah sapa Opah . . . Tak perasan le . . . Tapi , tu ha ada tiga orang.

OA: Lelaki ke Perempuan?

AII: Satu laki . . . dua pompuan . . . sorang daripadanya budak.

OA: Oh . . . Itu Amer Yusoff dan isterinya Asni Awang. Budak perempuan itu anak mereka. Yasmeen namanya.

AII: Apa nama nak panggil ha Opah?

OA: Yang lelaki tu panggil Tok Mamu. Orang perempuan dewasa itu panggil saja Mama Ni. Budak perempuan itu panggil Mami Meen (?)

AII: OK le Opah. . . [ memandang kepada para pengunjung sambil berkata . . .]


AII: Jemputlah masuk Tok Mamu, Mama Ni dan Mami Meen (?)


[Wah siap dgn hadiah sekali ... ] [AII relaks nampak bersama Mama Ni & Mami Nash]


[Tok Mamu & Mami Meen (?)]

[Mama Ni dengan AII]

[Mama Ni dan Mami Meen rajin melayan dak Ahmad Iman Iskandar ni . . .]


[ Mami Nash sibuk memasang perangkap singa ke? ]


Thank You To All Visitors


Demikian secara ringkas kunjungan Amer Yusoff, Asni Awang dan Yasmeen Amer Yusoff sekeluarga ke d'SUARANG pada Sabtu 20 Februari 2010. Mereka datang dari Georgetown, Pulau Pinang. Kalau AII nak tahu mereka itu tidak lain tidak bukan keluarga Mami Nash le. Terima kasih kita ucapkan kepada mereka semua.

"I'm Just A Month Old, Auntie Missy"



Assalamualaikum and Greetings

When AII Went A Checking

Yesterday, Tuesday 23 February 2010, Ahmad Iman Iskandar (AII) was taken to Prince Court Medical Centre, Kuala Lumpur for a check-up, routine for a newborn. AII was accompanied by Mum (Mazlyn Hanim), Granny (Alimah) and Aunt (Marlyana Haniz) to the Paediatrician Clinic. Atuk Majid waited at the Centre's lounge.


[Ahmad Iman Iskandar bin Mohd Rashidi

[The Clinic]

[AII with Opah Alimah]

On arrival AII was greeted by a middle-aged nurse (the Doctor's assistant). She immediately took charge of the prelims like weighing in AII, measuring AII's height and diameter of head and checking on AII's body temperature and so on and so forth.












[The equipment]

While at her task the nurse turned to Mazlyn and asked, "Coming for his three months check up yeah?"

AII's mother responded, "No Nurse. He is just a month and four days old today."

Nurse: Was he delivered prematurely?

Mazlyn: No, why?

Nurse: Well, his growth is reasonably fast . . . and that usually points to premature delivery.

[Doctor Anna at work]

[Doc Anna still at work. There's nothing AII can do about being 'worked' on.
Opah Alimah anxiously waiting for check-up results]




["At last everything's OK," said the Doc.
"Thank you Doc Anna," says Mazlyn]


AII now weighs 4.4 kilogram and measures 58.5 cm in height. Doctor Anna Padmavathy A/P Soosai, Specialist Paediatrician seemed satisfied with AII's health progress. This time around she easily coaxed AII into 'agreeing' with her to be jabbed for hepatitis B .




I was told, she very professionally coaxed him by saying, " Ok AII I cucuk you first. Then you can get back to your mum and play . . ."


[ "Ha, AII this is the real test," says Doc Anna. "I accept the challenge Doc," replied AII]


AII took it well in his stride and came back none the worse.


["No problem . . . I'm just play acting!"]

And, AII and the whole family appreciate all that has been done for him. Thank you Doctor Anna and all support staff. May God bless you and all.

[AII with Mum Mazlyn. "Oh I feel great now Mother" says that one month old fella!]

One Special Note


Saturday, February 20, 2010




Assalamualaikum and Greetings To One and All


As I Was Browsing Through . . .


A special note to Mr M Sockalingam (MS), former Managing Director of Oxford University Press/Penerbit Fajar Bakti Sdn Bhd... The content of this blog is dedicated to you.

When the four of us (MS, GKI, JI, AMB) met at Subang National Golf Club a couple of weeks ago, we talked about the good old days (of our involvement) with OUP/PFB. Though we were aware that GKI is a very new hand at Oxford Fajar (what OUP/PFB is now known as) we just kept on asking and answering questions at will. We wanted to know what each of us is doing now. We also talked about what we were doing earlier before coming into PFB/OUP. We had a good hour or so to go in depth regarding those matters. We never really had that kind of an opportunity to do so those days. Perhaps we were just too busy to be able to behave in this manner when we worked then! Whatever maybe the reason I thought that meeting was a very meaningful one.

Actually that was not just the reason why I am 'blogging' this special note to you MS. A few days ago I was trying to relocate some near forgotten records. While doing some 'tidying up' of my collection of books and magazines I came across a number of old Ministry of Education publications (Educational Journal). Browsing through the pages an article carrying your name caught my attention. It was entitled, "The Problems of Textbook Evaluation". It must have been written when you were the Pengarah of Biro Buku Teks. Do you remember that one? Or, perhaps you have written one too many to remember. Anyway I am publishing it down here . . . to refresh some fond memories (my own) as well . . . yours sincerely was in charge of the Translation Department for the MoE Educational Journal at that time.

And, MS are you aware of the following? Have a look . . . and later . . . at bottom of blog* . . . see whether you can recall this . . .

*The above photocopied piece of writing was given to me by one cousin of mine . . . Lt Colonel (Rtd) Basri Omar, an alumnus of STAR Ipoh. He never had the opportunity to be a student of yours but knew you from other earlier seniors. The article about you was written by one Abdul Hamid bin Mohd Nor, a STARIAN 1957-63 (he was your student) and presently a Company Secretary. This is a testimony of what your former students think of you.

Though I was never a STARIAN but a VICTORIAN . . . I am just as proud as they are . . . (but at a slightly different level) . . . ie of having been able to associate myself with a Managing Director of your calibre . . .at OUP/PFB.

Kudos MS.
