Ssshhh... jangan bilang kakak

Nadhirah bisik "Sshhh.... kawan-kawan hari ni kan kita semua pergi swimming kat Jurong, pasal abah kita masih cuti, tapi kan Kakak kita Juliana dia tak tahu pasal dia pergi sekolah. Kita orang tak bilang dia, nanti dia sedih tak ikut. Tadi kita berendam dari pukul 2pm sampai pukul 5.30pm, naik kecut kaki tangan kita. Abah, umi, abang iman dan kita sampai jadi gelap kulit, macam suburntlah. Besok abah dah start kerja balik, so duduklah rumah balik."

Juliana says "Hhmmmm... apasal ye bila kita balik tadi, semua orang nampak hitam aje, hmmm... jangan-jangan dia orang pergi swimming tak tadi. Takpe kita kat sekolah lagi seronok, dapat belajar macam-macam... tapi sedih jugak kalau kena tinggal. Takpelah Abang Herman, ada banyak tiket untuk kita, Night Safari, Jurong Bird Park dan Snow City, so nanti kita boleh ikut jalan-jalan lagi...yeah!"


Yati says "Tahniah kepada Munirah dan Ibrahim, Baby Boy mereka telah selamat dilahirkan hari ini. Ibu dan anak sekarang ada di Kandang Kerbau Hospital Wad 32 Katil 11. Syukur Alhamdullilah."

Flush me out!

Yati says "You all nak tahu... hari ni toilet kita sumbat, nak tahu apasal... Si Iman tadi pagi berak, lepas teran keluar macam buah mangga... besar sampai tak boleh flush. Tak cakap bedek, sampai malam kita try flush dia tak boleh go through. Ni sekarang tak tahu apa nak buat, tak pernah terjadi ini macam. Kalau sesiapa ada tips bagus please bilang kita, pasal benda tu masih "peram" kat dalam jamban."

3X says "Cakap pasal kuah rawan (tak sebut pun -yati), I got my own collections of places yang buat power 1- Bedok, kedai makan sebelah stadium, 2- Yishun, sebelah Junction 8, 3- Haig Road, kedai yang paling tepi sekali, 4- Tampines, kat pasar tapi tak tahu masih ada lagi tak... I ni bukan apa, bila makan Nasi Rawan / Sambal Sotong / Bagedil / Paru, teringat arwah mak, 3 sebab (1) Dia selalu masak lauk tu (2) Bila pergi pasar dengan dia kat blk 124 Tampines dulu, dia selalu belikan nasi bungkus dengan lauk-lauk tu, every single day, tapi tak pernah muak (3) anak makcik yang jual kat kedai tu power! tapi tak berani nak sound pasal mak-bapak dia ada."

Yati says "Sebab numbor 3 tu tak relevant lansung, ada ke anak makcik power...hmmm nyampah!"

3X says"Tu dulu, sekarang youlah power! hari tu nampak dia jalan dengan laki dia kat Expo, dah 4 anak seh... tapi badan dia masih pow....... eh tak-tak-tak dia dah gemuk sekarang."

Pickel pickel Latasa...

Nadhirah says "Pikel pikel Latasa... Wai wai wai Latasa... (lagu Twinkle twinkle little star)... hari ni kita kencinglah kat lantai... semalam Mak Ngah cerita Harith yang sama umur dengan kita dah tak pakai pampers sejak birthday dia, so umi kita nak trylah. Kita ingat dah let go baru cakap, rupa-rupanya sebelum let go kena cakap, so lantai basahlah sampai kena carpet. Binggit umi kita, lepas tu kita pakai pampers balik. Abah cakap sampai tua kita kena pakai pampers, lepas tu dia ketawa, tapi kita tak faham...."

Juliana says "Nadhirah ni belum passlah, dia dah kencing baru cakap, tu pun dia tak cakap kencing, dia cakap berak, lepas tu tunjuk lantai, dia ingat Ok macam gitu. Nasib baik dia ni masih cute kalau tidak dah kena cubit dengan umi dan abah. Kita pulak nasib baik dah tak payah pakai pampers lagi, tapi Abah cakap bila kapal perang jepun dah sampai kena pakai balik, lepas tu dia ketawa, tapi kita tak faham..."

BBQ day

Iman says "Aduh sakitnya perut.... nak tahu apasal kita sakit perut kawan-kawan? Hari ni kita makan banyak sangat kat BBQ lah... kita ramai-ramai - Bibik family, Wakdir family, Mak ngah family, kak Mai family, kak Yan family, kak Zetty dan tunangnya cik Is, makan barbeque kat tepi pantai Pasir Ris. Ada sotong, udang, ikan, mee siam goreng, nasi bryani, paru, steak, ayam goreng... tapi kan Abah kita frust-nongeng - pasal dia tak dapat ikan keli... hehehe... Kita orang semua seronok main dengan sufi, hatim, muhammad, danish, sabrina, kak ira kat tepi pantai, nilah first time kita main kat tepi laut malam-malam buta."

Abah marah "Juliana! Iman! Nadhirah! Tadi one of you, kentot banyak kali dalam kereta! Bau pekong macam loji kilang penapisan! Aku drive macam nak pengsan!Aku suspect ni budak Iman, pasal dia ni susah nak control kilang gas dia! Lain kali kemutlah kuat-kuat sikit kalau nak rasa macam nak terkeluar... bila dah sampai, keluar kereta barulah boleh lepas... ini tak, pakai hembus aje...uweek!!!"

Good Friday... Good Day.....

Juliana says "Hari ni holiday Good Friday, so kita tak sekolah. Kita orang pun tak tahu nak buat apa kat rumah, tengok cartoon ajelah. Tengahari gitu, kita semua pergi makan kat KFC, lepas tu sewa VCD kat kedai.

Nak dekat petang pulak, kita ambik Haziq, kak Yan dan abang Herman kat Tampines Mall, dan abang Herman drivekan kereta kita ke Railway Station untuk makan dinner. Sampai disana orang ramai jugak, sampai takde tempat duduk. Abah kita makan Sup Kambing (tak pelawa orang makan pun), umi kita makan tahu goreng, kak yan makan nasi goreng dan kita semua makan hotdog. Abang Herman belanja makan Ikan pari sambal cincalok, daging kicap, kerang...etc etc...

Lepas tu kita ajak dia drive naik Mount Faber, sampai kat atas cable-car station, ingat macam nak naik cable-car tapi bila kak yan pergi counter dah tutup. Lepas tu abang herman ajak kita pergi Labrador Park... cari tempat pelik-pelik gitu, nak explore lagi tapi Umi ni spoil marketlah, dia takut tak masuk dalam lagi. Lepas tu bila balik, kita jalan ikut the Gap, jalan yang berpusing-pusing kat West Coast. Kita semua dan Haziq tidur kat dalam kereta pasal kenyang sangat dan penat. Lepas hantar mereka balik kat Punggol kita pun balik rumah.

Yati says "Terimakasih Yan dan Herman belanja makan dan bayarkan petrol, dan drivekan kita jalan-jalan. Suka si bapak budak 3X tu dapat rilek kat backseat jadi passenger pulak sekali-sekali. Nanti bila you all dah dapat your red Vios, boleh kita tumpang pulak."

The best advice I can give you is, don't drive like me...

Entiti, Gold Award and Tunang... and Blow!

The weekend starts off with the viewing of "Entiti - Bukti" at Tampines. But before that, Triplenoise got his wish of "Kuah Rawan - Sambal Sotong - Bagedil - Sop tulang" courtesy of Kak Eton... can be describe in 1 word "POWER! POWERpuff Girls! POWER Ranger!!!" 3 kali tambah beb!...

The Entiti VCD is kind of an enigma by itself. Not sure how to describe, its a mix of horror reality show with advertisements - commercialised reality show.. its more of "Where???" rather than "What?" are they talking about. In my opinion, video shots are full of artifacts, due to environmental scattered lights or dirty lens, so to point out this artifacts as "ghost" or "entities"... hmmm I don't buy that. To give it some "credit", the hotel room segment is kind of spooky, but again with some strings, water-sprinklers and a tv remote control, and the viewers imagination, it can be "horrific"... hhmmmmm.... give me a break.

So after the show, we head to Abang Ram's house to troubleshoot his WinXP PC, and we learn that Ikram won a Gold Award for his video in school, the video can be played at the sidebar on the left, below the shoutbox. Congratulations Ikram!

And so the following day (Sunday 13/3/05) is D-Day for Nur Zetty. The day of her Engagement to Mr.Iskandar (have yet to see him, forgot how he looks like already). The day start off with Marhaban at 10am, and the ceremony begins at 3pm. Lots and lots of food to eat, and the hantaran was Power! also, with cakes and cakes and more cakes. The word of the day is "Blow".. on why it was used as a term to take a picture of the wedding ring is beyond me... luckily the job just involves a camera. (I'm not going to mention who started using that word, let's just say... syurgawijr). So anyway, Good Luck Zetty and Iskandar.

Accomplishment!!!

Ylo says "Hari ni dalam sejarah (untuk kita ajelah), pada pukul 12 tengahari tadi, tanggal 11 March 2005..... Telah dibuat apa yang ingat tak boleh buat selama ini.......hari ini kita first time...... drive naik slope multi-storey carpark, dan dah boleh selok-belok kat dalam multi-storey carpark. YES!!! YES!!! YEEAAAHHH!!!!"

YEAH!!!! WE KNOW YOU CAN DO IT!!! We are Proud of You!!
Malaysia BOLEH!

Hotel....

Found this in the Internet :
"Every single hotel, there shall be at least a permanant room which should be left vacant at all times. No matter how full the hotel are, they are not to sell that room(s) to any guest. It was said that special room was "reserved" for those "special visitors". So, if you plan to stay in some hotel, always book in advance. Try to avoid walk in.
If the receptionist told you there's no more room available, do not insist one anymore or try to bribe them to give you a room. If you do that, most of the time the room you have will be that "special room". Sometimes those "special visitors" might go to other rooms also, so here's some tips on how to protect yourself:
Before entering your room, always knock on the door first, even you know the room is vacant. After you enter the room, if you felt very cold suddently and have "chicken spore", leave the room quitely immediately and go to reception to request to change room. Most of the time the receptionist will understand what's happening.
After you enter the room, immediately switch on all of the lights, and open the curtain to let the sun light in. Before you go to bed, arrange your shoes so that one of them is upside down. Some say this is representing yin & yang to protect you while you're asleep. Always leave at least a lamp on while you're sleeping, preferbly the toilet's lamp.
If you're staying alone and they have give you a twin bed, do not sleep with the other bed vacant, try to put your things like luggage on the other bed before you sleep. "

TripleNoise says "My friend who works as a security guard in a hotel says this is true, and another friend who works in another hotel as a steward, says this is true also. While I was in Yishun camp, theres a barrack which is left empty, so I think its practice even in the army too. So the next room you go in next time, could be THE room...... WOOHAAAA...hahaha...Whoo HAHHAAAA!!! (evil laughter)"

Hingus, Bird dan Cokelat

Nadhirah says "Ahhhh!..chooooo!. apalah hidung ni, banyak hingus ....ahhh!..chooo!.. nak tidur pun susah .... kita dah makan ubat, kita suka makan ubat... Ahh!.. choo!... mata kita stone aje, rasa macam nak tidur, tapi tak mengantuk... mintak-mintak besok baik, so kita boleh main-main.... ahhh!.. chooo!!!... kita nak tidurlah ..."

Iman says "Hi kawan-kawan.... hari ni badan kita pun macam nak panas jugak, ni mesti jangkitsi nadhirah lah... tapi tadi lepas mandi bird kita rasa sakitlah, umi suruh abah tengok, tapi abah kita geli nak tengok dan pegang... tak tahulah apasal, agaknya tengah main tadi jatuh kena bird agaknya... mintak-mintak takde damage ape-ape... "

Juliana says "Hello... kita sekarang suka belajar dan suka buat homework, kita bila sampai rumah je, kita nak buat homework, bangun tidur aje nak belajar, dalam kereta pun nak baca buku.. abah cakap "yelah sekarang aje kau tengah kemaruk, nanti dah lama-lama malas nak pergi sekolah... macam aku jugak". Lagi satu kita suka beli cokelat kat sekolah, bestlah dah pandai beli sendiri, tapi kalau bawak balik, umi mesti marah... hehehe"

Poll Results

So setelah berapa minggu poll, keputusannya ialah Dali&Su dengan 50 percent of the votes yang meneka dia akan menimang cahaya mata pada bulan 10. Ditempat kedua ialah Odah&Herman dan anihnya, ada yang menyangka Yan atau Yati atau Bibik yang akan beranak lagi...dan lagi.... dan lagi.... Semua tekaan adalah salah, kerana yang akan menimang anak lagi di bulan 10 adalah pasangan Mamat dan isteri. Jadi Danial dan adiknya akan mendapat seorang lagi adik, sama-sama kita doakan zuriat mereka sihat hingga selamat dilahirkan.

Punggol and Pierce

Ylo says "Assalamualaikum semua, lama dah tak tulis kat blog ni, budak2 dengan bapak dia ni sibuk aje kat blog orang.... anyway, hari ni kita pergi Punggol Beach.
The place not bad jugak, tapi jalan nak pergi tu quite eeerie, kalau jalan malam-malam tentu "seronok". Yang herannya ada rumah-rumah terrace dan bungalow kat situ, dan banyak betul childcare. Dahlah tempat tu dulu banyak cina kena bunuh dengan jepun kat situ, tentu ramai entiti. But the best thing about the place tu kat jetty kecik. Kita orang diri kat sana... foooh kena mandi dengan angin yang kuat, macam nak terbang dibuatnya. Kuat betul angin, tapi air lautnya pulak nampak macam "murky" atau "oily", tapi pasirnya putih. Tak nampak pulak orang mandi-manda kat sana, tapi untuk picnic bagus jugak, tapi payung, makanan dan tikar rasa melayanglah kena tiup angin. Kat depan pemandangan penuh dengan kapal-kapal, sebab tu agaknya minyak hanyut ke tepi, tapi takde pulak minyak-minyak kat tepi-tepi pantai.... hmmm pelik, ada siapa-siapa yang boleh jelaskan?

Balik dari situ, kita pun pergi makan kat Jalan Kayu. Kita orang makanlah di luar gerai, kira makan bawah langit lah gitu, sekali hujan takde warning turun pulak, habis nasi ayam, prata, air minuman semua kena air hujan, dengan pantas kita masuk dalam kedai, lepas tu carry-on aje makan dengan lauk air hujan sekali.

Lepas makan kita pergi Lower Pierce Reservoir, tujuan untuk tengok-tengok monyet yang banyak kat sana. By that time dah nak dekat pukul 8pm, so perjalanan masuk tepi-tepi hutan tu menyeramkan jugak, lepas tu si rizal ni dia stop kat tepi, terpekiklah kita suruh dia jalan, dia ni suka main-main takutkan orang dengan dia punya "cheap thrill". Dia suruh cari ada entiti kat pokok-pokok. Ni pun nasib baik minyak kereta dah nak dekat habis, kalau tidak dia nak balik semula pergi Punggol beach tu jalan kat tepi hutan malam-malam buta. Bila sampai rumah bukak internet, sekali ada berita only last friday, dia orang jumpa mayat kat reservoir tu, eissh kalau kita tahu tadi lagi... entahlah apa nak fikir... Anyway Pierce Reservoir tu lawa jugak tempatnya, kalau pergi jogging atau kuak-lentang bagus, tempat luas dan angin segar."

Triplenoise says "Untuk siapa-siapa yang dah tengok lagu tu, tujukanlah kepada siapa-siapa yang tersayang, moga-moga mereka menghayati lagunya dan rasa terharu sekali... ;)"

Night of Horrors...

Tripz&Ylo says "Thanks to Yan & Herman for hosting the Night of Horrors at their humble abode (which means home). Sadly there wasn't any Ikan keli bakar as promised, no ketam either, and no kuah rawan and no bagedil and no sambal sotong either, but all is not lost, there's fried chickens, otaks-otaks, rojaks, murtabaks, mee hoon gorengs, honey dews, pepsis....etc etc. And not forgetting a cake for the birthday boy, Fuad, and also sharing the celebration, Yan and Herman, which marks their first year of suffering... oops sorry I mean first year wedding anniversary and, also Nadhirah and Harithz celebrating their birthdays too. So after singing the birthday song and the singapore national anthem, the lights went off and the show (Entiti) started and everyone had a screaming good time. Ylo do not want anything to do with the show, so a pillow becomes her shield to the supernatural world, while Triplenoise added some sound effects to the show. After surviving the onslaught of apparations on screen (to be taken with a pinch of salt), everyone headed home full bellied, and an additional paranoia of the dark."

Advance Words!

Nadhirah says "Hi kawan-kawan! Baskiiit! Baskiiit! Kita kalau marah orang kan sekarang, kita panggil dia Baskiiit! Iya tak tahu maknanya apa, tapi abah suka cakap, bila dia tengah driving nanti kadang-kadang macam-macam perkataan yang pelik-pelik dia panggil orang tu. Agaknya dia kenal orang tu punya nama tak, sebab tu dia panggil orang tu punya nama. Tapi nanti umi marah dia jangan cakap... tak tahulah.. Baskiiitt!!!"

Iman says "Taklah Iya, abah bukan panggil nama orang tu, dia sebenarnya macam mengucapkan "Selamat Pagi!" atau "Selamat Petang!" tapi dalam bahasa english... Macam kalau dia nampak orang tu belok kat depan dia tiba-tiba tak kasi signal, nanti dia ucapkan "Terimakasih!" tapi dalam bahasa english, yang kita belum belajar lagi."

Juliana says "Korang ni selengelah, abah bukan panggil nama atau ucapkan selamat jalan dengan driver lain, actually abah tu baru belajar bahasa German atau Perancis, so dia practicelah kat dalam kereta. Kadang-kadang dia pakai bahasa Cina, tu pun selalu jugak. Nanti bila kita semua dah besar, kita tahulah apa maknanya..."


Triplenoise says "Ah betul, apa korang semua cakap... kadang-kadang abah kenal orang tu, so abah ucapkan "@#$%! @#$@$#$^#! %$##!" maknanya "Selamat Jalan! Terimakasih pasal masuk kat lane aku lepas tu tak nak kasi signal sampai aku kena jam brake! Selamat Jalan!" ah tulah translation-nya. Abah cakap kuat sikit pasal dia tak dengar, tapi abah tak marah tau.... lagi satu korang belum boleh cakap word-word advance ni tau, bila korang dah kahwin baru boleh cakap."

Pakcik, my uncle

TripleNoise says "fooooh... what a day.. Got news yesterday Pakcik (mak's brother), passed away at the General Hospital. Doctor gave him 2 weeks, and that was 3 months ago. Didn't get to menziarah yesterday, because was way too tired. Didn't plan to go this morning for pengkembumian too, had to go to work.

On the way to work while driving, suddenly snapshots of him came to mind. I didn't remember him much while I was a toddler, but the most memorable was when I was in STI (singapore technical institute) and pakcik was selling in the canteen. Everyday I would eat at his stall, nasi lemak or mee siam, and for that 2 years I'm studying there, I would see him everyday. He didn't allow me to pay him, so for that 2 years my lunch was free.

What was memorable, was not the free food, but the sight of him seating there everyday alone while waiting for the students to buy his food. He have this same look like mak, solemn yet sereene look, sort of a look that is analysing people but silently.I was and still am, a complete dumbass when it comes to family hierachy or relations, so that time I was not aware he was mak's brother, all along I thought he was just our neighbour in the kampong.

Well remembering all this, I suddenly felt the urge to see him one last time. Called office say that I'm taking urgent leave, and change route from CTE to PIE Jurong heading towards Pusara Aman. Arrived there 9:30am and waited for the convoy to arrive. About an hour later they arrived, and immediately recognise some familiar faces, mostly from kampong days. Stayed throughout the ceremony and managed to see his face when the cloth was uncovered in the grave. Sebak dada for a while, but have to suppress sadness, cannot shed a tear in front of people.

After the ceremony, brought Kak Long, Kak Idah, Kak Minah and Faiz, whom I met earlier, to mak's kubur, and we stayed there for a while under the scorching afternoon sun. Later drove all of them to Jurong Point."
