Mid Week Crisis. |
D,
I'm scratching my hair roots off just looking at the clothes to be ironed. Normal, right? I'm not going to stress myself out again. So, I'm doing yoga breathing now.
Friday - After AidilAdha prayers, we zoomed off to MIL's as I didn't have to cook. Off to my mom's to collect Ayam Masak Merah, Sambal Goreng & Sayur Lodeh for foster dad. Last stop before we left S'pore was aunt Yah's as his granny was staying there there this year. While I waited for my men to return from Friday prayers, I took my own sweet time chewing the Nasi Briyani set served on that day. Shikin, my cousin is so lucky to have uncle & aunt as wedding cooks. We all rave their Nasi Briyani, the mamak style. Even aunt Yah has mastered the skill perfectly. It's not the same as I've learnt from a cooking instructor.
We, women talked about Shikin's wedding preparation. I got to try on her wedding shoes...kekekeke. She bought 2 for more than SGD300. She couldn't resist buying them in the US as they were on sale. Very the stylo-milo.com. Since both shoes fit me, I asked jokingly if I could borrow when I have to attend formal gathering. She said, "can.....but after my wedding!" But then again, I don't wanna be caught wearing those lovely shoes. The heels are as thin & as long as the pencil. Sedarlaa, diri tu dah tuer kutok....kekekeke.
The rest of the family weren't there yet. As soon as Fidel & the boys had their late lunch, we made our way to the Causeway. Shookadoodles - it was smooth drive. But coming into S'pore was a nightmare! He pressed on until it was 140km while we cruised along the North South Expressway....that got me screaming my head off! He laughed & maintained at 120- 130 km. Men!!! But I must admit since the road was clear, it was fun!
Dad waited at the petrol kiosk near his rented house. Waa!! Bapak nyer kreter sports aaa!!!! The boys wanted a ride in Atok's car. Lepakz tengok owang tuer tu drive kreter seport tu...keekeke. Dad has always been an organized person. His home is comfy. He's settled fine. Although I bought food, he wanted to go out to bring us around. So we ended having dinner outside. Back home, we were attacked my nyamukz!
Saturday - Early rise, heated up the dishes, cooked rice. But the sambal goreng & sayur lodeh turned bad. We were all disappointed. Lucky, ayam masak merah was still good. We headed to a river, 2 playgrounds & later to Parit Raja. It was Krepekz Galore!!!! I didn't know that this sleepy old town has its own charm. Besides the Cendol on the streets, this whole row of shops are selling all kinds of snacks - all sorts of krepek, like those sold in Geylang for Aidilfitri. Waa...gini maciam da bagoz!!! Raya tahun nie, tak yah buat kuih raya...beli krepek dah!!!! Ada kuih siput, kuih ciputan - tu kan kuih raya jugak.
Dad wanted us to try this food outlet. It has 3 large showcases of dishes. All of them lauk kampung. Urap saja ada more than 3 types. Masak lemak tak ingat berapa macam. If kat S'pore macam Hjh Maimunah...tapi kat sini...lauk dia authentic kampung style laa. So that was lunch. Perut kenyang, hati senang. Balek - ngorok!!!! But not all of us. Id, Han & Hin purposely poured water in the front lawn & played mud!!!! Haiz!!!!! Tak per nak....kat S'pore susah korang nak jumpa mud, kan?
We went to the pasar malam! Wowweeeee!!! This is where one can gain more than 5 kg a week! We ended up buying Tepung Pelita, hati ayam goreng, Laksam, otak-otak, Satar, tapai pulut & jerukz which I can't find in S'pore - jeruk anggur, the small dark ones & the actual size green yellowish ones. Slurp!!!! But that was for supper. Dinner was Kenny Rogers Roasters - bley tahan si Batu Pahat nie....sengih Datin Pinkie dapat makan ayam nie!!!! Balik rumah, makan lagik!!!! Kira-kira..kita shopping sakan jugak laa....aper tak, sandals budak murah, kasut mommy murah, minyak, susu, ayamas, milo. Wei sarat kereta!!!!
Sunday - To pasar besar. Had breakfast, bought 2 packs of Cendol to bring home. We sent dad back home. Now this was the sad part. The house was filled with laughter, boys' cranky moods & their requests to come back again during the sch. hols despite the mosquitoes' bites for 2 days. Then Dad said, "balik sorang lagi." His eyes were red, holding the tears. It broke my heart. I told Fidel that he was trying not to cry. But saying goodbye was inevitable. We waved until we lost sight of each other.
The boys were going, "Daddy, speed daddy! Waa..daddy's now at 120km..waa 130km..."
Hai kalau dah lelaki......I spotted a Lemang counter on the side road, apa lagik? Dapat 3 batang plus the rendang!! Yahooo!!!! It was smooth drive all the way, we reached Tuas about 2 hours later. Fidel wanted to watch ibadah Korban. It's like an annual thing we can't miss, even though we didn't do any. We did Han's aqiqah for 2nd sheep this year at Aceh. So we went around 6pm to the nearest mosque, waited till after Maghrib prayers. Went home & went there again after Isya'. Finally, the sheeps came after 10pm. Alhamdulillah. Everybody was cheering. The ustaz in charge wasd so relieved, that he hugged his fellow butchers. The boys got to watch the ibadah korban right in front. When the 1st sheep was brought to be slaughtered, it was so touching as everyone recited takbir. Hati siapa tak terguris dgn laungan takbir yg memecah kesunyian malam. Allahuakbar Allahuakbar Allahuakbar Laailaahaillallahu Allahuakbar Allahuakbarwalila ilhamd!
Tahun ini, umat Islam menempuh segala macam dugaan. Semoga kita menjadi umat yg lebih beriman & penyabar.
The 6 of us had a wonderful AidilAdha.

I'tiraf
Wahai Tuhan
Ku tak layak
Ke SyurgaMu
Namun tak pula
Aku sanggup
Ke NerakaMu
Ampunkan dosaku
Terimalah taubatku
Sesungguhnya
Engkaulah Pengampun
Dosa-dosa besar
Dosa-dosaku
Bagaikan pepasir
Di pantai
Dengan rahmatMu
Ampunkan daku
Oh Tuhanku
Wahai Tuhan
Selamatkan kami ini
Dari segala
Kejahatan & kecelakaan
Kami takut
Kami harap
KepadaMu
Suburkanlah
Cinta kami
Kepada Mu
Kamilah hamba
Yg mengharap
Belas dariMU
Penantian By Harmoni
Berapa lama mesti ku nanti
Sinar cahaya mata mu
Gemerlap bagai bintang
Menghiasi malam
Malam yg menutup diriku
Berapa lama perlu ku tunggu
Lontaran suara dari bibirmu
Memecah hening taman
Taman syurgawi
Pada sebuah hati yg sepi
Penantian suatu siksa
Yg tidak tertanggung
Oleh tubuh ku yg kering & layu
Kepastian suatu penwar
Dlm suka & duka
Yg meniti hidup ku
Doa By Harmoni
Tuhan ku
Dlm termangu
Ku sebut nama Mu
Biar susah sungguh
Mengingat Mu penuh seluruh
Tuhan ku
Cahaya Mu
Panas suci bagai kerdip lilin
Di kelam sunyi
Tuhan ku
Aku hilang bentuk
Kembara di negeri asing
Tuhan ku
Pintu Mu ku ketuk
Aku tak bisa berpaling
Nasyid By Hidayah
Kepada Mu Ilahi
Yg Maha Agung Yg Maha Suci
Ku pohon perlindungan
Dan keampunanMu
Pada setiap sholat
Ku lafazkan doa & pujian
Kukuhkanlah taqwaku & keimanan
Semoga diriku diselamatkan
Dari segala bencana
Limpahilah diriku dgn sinar penuh kemuliaan
Agar tidak digoda syaitan
Yg sungguh durjana peruntuh akhlak
Inilah doa seorang insan
Mohon perlindungan
The Reason
Hoobastank
The Reason
I'm not a perfect person
There are many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you
I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
That's why I need you to hear
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you
I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you
I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you
