Hari Raya Korban yang Bermakna

Memandangkan Hari Raya Korban pada tahun ini jatuh pada hari Jumaat, penyembelihan lembu korban terpaksa kami tunda pada hari yang berikutnya iaitu pada hari Sabtu untuk mengelakkan kekalutan daripada berlaku.

Pada tanggal 10 Zulhijjah 1430 Hijrah, Saya dan keluarga saya menikmati Nasi Dagang buatan Tokwe yang sungguh lazat sebagai sarapan.

............

Okay that's it. Enough Bahasa Melayu baku. Rojak lagi best.

Where were we just now? Ohh, back to our story.

Selepas kami bersarapan, kitorang pergi melawat Tokku di rumahnya kat Jalan Telipot. Kat sana, kitorang borak2 pastu tengok tv kejap. And then, saya, cik Sopiah dan Tuanku Nur Zahirah ke luar rumah Tokku untuk sesi fotografi.

Tokku yang kami sayangi <333

Pada hari berikutnya pulak, or in other words Hari Penyembelihan, kelihatan seekor lembu malang yang hitam legam telah ditambat di sebatang pokok kelapa. Saya intai lembu tu disembelih ikut tingkap je. Maklumlah, rumah Tokwe saya kan seberang jalan je. Lagipun, saya tak mandi lagi. Hehe.

Lepas dah siap mandi, pakai uniform bekerja iaitu T-shirt dan seluar saya terus pegi rumah Tokwe sebab perut dah lama berkeroncong, berdangdut, berjoget semua dah untuk breakfast. Breakfast pada hari tersebut ialah Mee Kari yang baru 1st time dibuat oleh Mama. Tetapi malang sekali saya tak boleh nak makan banyak sebab Mee Kari tersebut akan dihidangkan kepada sidang penyembelih lembu yang terhormat.

Bagi saya, Raya Haji tahun paling best sebab saya rasa puas sangat bila makan daging korban. Kenapa rasa puas? Sebab tahun ni Yours Truly lah yang membakar daging-daging korban tersebut. Bukannya bakar semua pun.. Sebahagian je. But i'm not taking all the credit alone, sebab saya membakar dengan 2 orang lagi sepupu saya termasuk kanak-kanak bawah umur yang sibuk nak kipas api dan diawasi oleh seorang Bibik Indon. Hahaa. Sungguh irony. Selalunya kalau Raja Haji, saya bukannya buat apa pun. Asyik dok tengok org laen buat keje je. Nak tolong potong bawang, jangan harap la mak-mak sedara nak bagi. Kalau nak membakar, dah ramai lah pulak pembakar. Tapi tahun laen sket, sbb pembakar dah hilang entah ke mana.

Bila dah penat membakar, kena asap, mestilah nak makan pulak kan? Daging bakar cicah air asam = Lazat hingga menjilat jari. Fuhh! Barulah rasa puas bila makan daging korban. Ditambahkan pulak dengan berkat pengorbanan lembu hitam legam tu jadi semakin sedap, enak dan lazat lah jawabnya.

Oh, lupa plak nak bagitahu. Rutin tahunan Keluarga Haji Mahmud (Sila ambil perhatian bahawa beliau ialah Tok ayah saya bukan ayahnda saya) setiap Raya Haji ialah bergotong-royong memasak daging korban. Entah btol ke tidak frasa yang saya cakap ni. Abaikan je la.

Seperti tahun-tahun yang terdahulu, Keluarga Haji Mahmud akan terbahagi kepada beberapa golongan.

Para bapa sedara akan menolong Tukang Penyembelih untuk menyembelih lembu. Setelah lembu disebelih, mereka akan mengerat daging-daging lembu tersebut dan memberikannya kepada mak-mak sedara kat dapur pulak. Golongan bapa sedara ni dibantu oleh sepupu-sepupu lelaki.

Sepupu-sepupu lelaki ni, keje diorang tolong bapak diorang lah. Pastu satu lagi keje yang diorang memang nombor 1 lah bila buat : MAKAN.

Mak-mak sedara yang ada kat dapur pulak akan memasak daging-daging korban. Sebahagian daripada daging tersebut akan dimasak sup dan sebahagian yang lain pula akan diperap kemudian dibakar.

Anak-anak dara pulak akan tolong mak-mak sedara memotong bawang dan sayur-sayur lain untuk membuat air asam. Lepas daging dah siap dibakar, diorang ni akan hiris daging-daging tersebut untuk semua orang makan.

Golongan pra remaja macam saya pulak, sibuk membakar kat belakang rumah. Selalunya, orang yang membakar lah orang paling last yang dapat makan. Bila nak makan je dah habis kena sapu anak-anak teruna. Pastu kena tunggu la daging lain masak. Kadang-kadang kena marah sbb daging tak cukup masak. Pastu, bila api padam lagi susah. Nasib baeklah, ada jugak ank2 teruna yang berbaek hati nak tolong hidupkan api balik. E'eh terlebih cakap la pulak. Itulah yang berlaku masa saya membakar daging. Kalau masa org2 yang terdahulu, tak tau dan tak ambek tau la pulak. Kih3.

Asap yang berkepul-kepul

Ohh.. Sungguh lazat.

Kanak-kanak ribena pon ada jugak tugas yang tersendiri iaitu : buat bising. Diorang ni tak penat-penat main kejar-kejar sekeliling rumah. Kadang-kadang annoying jugak tapi at the same time, best sebab rasa meriah dengan kebisingan suara diorang.

Rasanya dah panjang lebar saya berceloteh. Sampai kita bertemu di lain waktu pula ye!



Sekian, Wassalam.

The Experience I'll Never Forget

Hiyya everyone!

I arrived in KB yesterday's morning. As usual, every end-of-year school holidays, i will go to Kakwe's house in Klang for a week or so. And now, i am about to tell you all about my awesome holidays.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I arrived there on Wednesday's morning. We didn't really do anything that day. I was watching tv while working on my farm. Kakwe made Mee Soup for lunch. Later at night, Kakwe brought me and adek to Bukit Raja to watch Pisau Cukur. It was a very interesting film you know. Hehe.

On Thursday, Kakwe made cupcakes helped by me and Adek. It was so tasty! Then, we went to Klang Parade. There, we bought Monopoly World Edition. yeah i know it sounds weird isn't it? =.=" Adek wanted it so much because her friend brought that game to school. Looks like her friend's promotion worked LOL. I was texting Aleen and Alia that time asking for ZS UPSR results. I was flabbergasted when they said 91 students got 5A's. Hell yeah you guys rock! HM must be smiling from ear to ear *smirk*

Fresh from oven. So fluffy!

Kakwe brought me and Adek to Midvalley on Friday. Thank the Almighty God, I finally found the purr-fect pair of shoes for me. It's very cute and adorable just like how i want it to be. At first, i rejected it when Kakwe showed that shoes to me because it's pink and plus it's quite pricey. But then, Kakwe tried it and it looked sooooooo cute on her feet LOL. So i took back my words and decided to buy it. Hehe. I know i am so gelenyar aren't I? ;p

On the bright and sunny Saturday, for the first time in my life, i stepped on my feet in the ohh-so famous Cameron Highlands. Yeah i know maybe some you guys have been there lots of times already until you are sick of that place. 4 of us went there: Me, Kakwe, Adek and Awah. We can also call it as Sisters' Trip :D We departed after eating scrambled eggs for breakfast. God, i felt so dizzy when Kakwe was driving up the hill. When we arrived at Country Lodge, the place where we were staying for the night the most amusing incident happened. Adek vomited on the road. LOL. Kakwe must be very grateful because her Myvi was safe and sound. Hahaha. After checking in, we prayed and then we went to our first destination : Cactus Point. Based on its name, you can already tell what were there right? There were many kinds of cactus in different sizes. We only took pictures but didn't buy anything. Teehee. Next pit stop was: Raju's Hill Strawberry Farm. The strawberries there were so yummy! So ripe and juicy, unmistakeably big and red. They tasted like heaven [when ate with cream+honey+sugar]! After we were stuffed with those delicious strawberries, we went to the Butterfly Garden. The butterflies there were so big and not to mention fat that they can't even fly! Weird much? Yeah, very. Later, we went to the Bee Farm where you can find tons of bees there. Don't worry, they are kept in their special cage or whatever you call that thing is. There, Kakwe, Adek and I played a real-life maze and we won! Hehe. I was *cough* the leader *cough*. The prize wasn't really anything actually, but the experience we got was priceless and invaluable. After all the fun, we went back to our hotel for Maghrib+Isyak prayers and then off we went to Brinchang night market on foot (only a stone throw away from our hotel). That place is where you can find all the produce of Cameron Highlands sold in one place. You can get everything cheap here if you know how to bargain. This is also a place to get some good "pasar malam" food. We buy lots of things there : dinner ( kuey tiaw and mee soup) fried vegetables (doesn't taste like veggies at all!), souvenirs for ourselves, family and friends, fresh corn, and strawberries. After a few hours walking here and there, Adek felt like throwing up again. So Awah brought her back to our hotel leaving me and Kakwe. Kakwe and I waited for the slow makcik to bungkus our dinner. After that, we went to a small shop which sold Cameron Highlands shirts because i wanted to buy one for me. Unfortunately, non of the shirts there caught my attention. So we went straight back to our hotel, holding what seemed like sacks of rice in both hands. When we got back to our room, we watched Sehati Berdansa while having our dinner.

Makan dengan rakus sekali. Hehehe ;p

The obese butterfly. It's flying/walking in the ground =.=

Half kilogram of Strawberries ^_^

Sunday was our last day in Cameron. We rose and shone and took a freezing bath. After packing our things, we got into the car and went to Big Red Strawberry Farm. Had our breakfast there. Awah, Adek and I ate Waffle with ice-cream and Kakwe ate scones. After having our ohh-so delicious breakfast, Adek and I went to pluck fresh strawberries by ourselves! God, it was such an unforgettable experience! How I wish I can plant strawberries at home. After that, we went to Boh Tea Plantation Sungei Palas. It was so scary when Kakwe was driving up the hill. The road was so narrow and cars which came from the opposite direction only make things worse. Moreover, there were also about 4-5 buses which were driving down/up the hill too! Crazy ain't it? We could've got killed! Stupid buses. Endangering innocent people's life. When we finally arrived at our destination, Kakwe parked her Myvi and then we climbed the hill once again by ourselves. So very challenging and fun at the same time. Guess what happened? I FELL. Typical Didie. So clumsy and bad in physical activities *sigh*. In spite of that, falling is a memorable experience too 'ya know. It was very interesting to see the process of making tea. It makes me wonder, how did those people harvest the tea? It must be hard work and risky isn't it? Lebih-lebih lagi kat cerun-curam. Haihh.. kita senang la, pegi kedai, beli teh boh. Tak sedar pun yang org lain dah bersusah-payah nak petik daun-daun teh. Driving up the hill was a scary thing to do let alone driving down. In fact, it was scarier when we were going down because we had to drive on the other side yang tak ada penghadang. But praise be to Allah, all of us are still breathing now. Next, we went to Rose Valley. You can find lots of roses there off course. There weren't only roses there, there were also tomatoes and some other veggies. LOL. We went to some other places after that but you don't expect me to tell all of them do you? Plus, i have lost my mood to blog. Kih3. After Zuhur+Asar prayers, we went back to Klang. And once again, Adek vomited in a plastic bag in the car.

The curse of the were-strawberries >.<

Sedap~ *thumbs up*

Self-plucking strawberries :D

Argghhhh nak jatuh sekali lagi! (tgk my seluar T_T)

Monday was the last day of my holidays. Our flight was at 9.45 am.

Hope you all are enjoyed reading my super long post. Sorry because it's quite boring. It seems like i've lost my writing skill. Heehee.

More pictures will be uploaded in Facebook. But that will have to wait *grins*

p.s. Selamat Hari Raya Aidiladha people!


Ciao!


EDIT : Ada beberapa pembetulan di sini.

1. Monopoly dibeli di Midvalley bukan Klang Parade. Kat Klang Parade tu kitorang tgk2 je Monopoly tu.
2. Kitorang solat Maghrib+Isyak lepas balik dari Night Market bukan sebelum pergi ke sana.

Saya nyatakan perkara-perkara di atas adalah kerana Adek saya iaitu Tuanku Nur Zahirah telah membaca post ini dan telah mengemukakan beberapa aduan. Bukannya mcm korang kesah pon kan? =.="

I'm back.

Hellllooooooo readers~ :D

So yeah, I'm back again after being away for uhhh A MONTH? *heaves an extra large sigh* PECAH REKOD WOAH! But really, this is the first time i'm focusing 90% to my studies. Where's the remaining 10%? mesti lah untuk my most beloved telly wakakakakaa. Exam was fine i guess. I really really hope i'll score 9A's this time. No more sangkut-sangkut.

Anyway, this post is only a short one. I just want to let my readers know that i'm still breathing. hehe. And also, i'll be leaving for Klang tonight. Yup, i will skip school for two days. ngeh3.


So that's it for now. Bye!
