The address....???



My wife just saw the blog last night.. The 1st question was why is the address is teratakrindudamai?? Why?? It's actually a tribute to arwah Papa.

The story goes like this..

Papa really wanted to have a nice kampung house with a spacious compound where he can exercise his hobby of gardening. He really loved gardening. He dreamt of a house with balinese garden and a yard full with cow grass.. The area will be guarded with 'pokok pagar' which will also include flowers like bougainville and roses.

Every evening, he'll be occupied with maintaining the house compound. Burning the trashes (his favourite till certain people even call him Bakar) and cutting the grass. That's home according to him.
He dreamt of naming his home 'Teratak Rindu Damai'....!! Why? Because he missed the peaceful feeling and environment of a real kampung..

After years of staying away from his hometown, finally he managed to be back to the very house he was born. But, he only managed to be there for a mere 4 years before he passed away in the very room he was born. Al-Fatihah...

To Papa, may you rest in peace in Allah grace. I may not be the best child you've ever dreamt of. It's too late for me to prove otherwise. I will always pray for you instead. Miss you so much..
