of raya, jonker and aishah
on raya
raya was fun. this year my parents decided to stay in bangi until after semayang raya. my auntie who's staying in singapore joined us two days before raya. unlike the previous years, we decided to skip the whole masak lemang and just get them from my father's friend for 2 ringgit a tube (the lemang akhirnya tak dimakan since we were very, very tired from the journey back to melaka).
masa smayang raya suddenly i felt overdressed lah plak. i had a baju malayu hitam with samping hitam. orang orang indonesia lain datang pakai kain and baju melayu je. mind you, lepas semua orang melayu blah balik kampung the only ones left were orang orang indonesia yang kilang nye masih beroperasi sebelum, semasa and selepas raya.
on balik kampung
sampai kampung je we went to empat rumah sahaja. since my younger brother dah sakit perut (makan rendang from singapore, he said) we decided to just stay at home (rumah kampung) and tido. the heat was unbearable. it was ala ala 10 degrees below hell.
the next day after hantar my auntie ke melaka, kitorang ( me and my two younger brothers) made our way to jonker walk/street.
i was looking for second hand books yang cheap and smart. my brothers just wanted to escape the heat and the constant stream of visiting relatives.
so we jalan jalan and tengok barang barang antique. my two brothers were very very interested in coins and medallions. me on the other hand was concentrating on finding an old book worth buying.
lepas jalan jalan we makan.
on aishah
lagu camar yang pulang and anita serawak's bisikan cinta are two of my favourite malay songs rite now. i can listen to them over and over and over again. and i do.
