Assalamualaikum,

Aku tahu masih ada lagi perkara yang belum diselesaikan dan masa semakin suntuk. Sedang aku berfikir apa lagi yang aku boleh kongsikan lagi di dalam blog ini, aku terbaca satu post di Facebook. Mungkin bendanya kecil, ya, sangat kecil tapi sangat mendalam maksudnya. Mungkin ada kalangan dari korang pernah baca, jadi anggap sahaja lah bacaan kali ini sebagai reminder untuk kali kedua.

I look forward to your greetings everyday because to you, I am someone. By not hearing your farewell, I knew something had happened. Then I sought and found you!' "

"Because to you, I am someone."
