Of Growing Older

Blogging ni memang berhantu, once you have started writing, mulalah asyik duk ingat nak write.

Tadi saya melepak di rumah Roha, kebetulan a few of her mengaji friends also dropped by for a chit chat. Mereka bercerita mengenai seorang kawan sama-sama mengaji that went for an eyelid operation, face injection, and I do not know what procedure its called but a procedure to ease away wrinkles on your face using threads?. I sat there wondering. On one hand, they went for mengaji, fardu ain, feqah and AlQuran, while on the other.... hmmmmm. All the ladies were older than us.

I do not believe in looking younger than you are, dressing younger than your age etc. If you are 50, to me, you should look 50, not 25. Alhamdulillah if Allah swt blesses you with a youthful appearance. If not, so be it. You cannot stop getting older, sudah hukum Allah, yang muda pasti akan menjadi tua. Dan bila semakin tua, kedut lah di sini sana.

Orang selalu berkata, biar tua asal hati muda, orang sungai baru kata young at heart... again I beg to differ. Kenapa kita mesti berhati seperti berusia 25 jika kita sudah lanjut usia. Bagi saya, lebih elok kita mempunyai hati seperti 46 tahun and we behave like a 46 yo should, when we are 46... bila kita sedar kita semakin tua sudah tentu kita sedar bahawa mati itu semakin dekat.

Entahlah,

Maknjang.
