Eating Trip and Cerita Heni:)

Salam All:)

Friday when papa went office we went to Pashik's house in Cheras to visit mashik.Alhamdulillah mashik is getting well;) Visit to Pashik 's house is always nostalgic because mama stayed with pashik last time when mama was doing Chambering at legal firm,infact all of us stayed with pashik including maklang before we were independent and able to stay on our own.Pergi rumah pashik always rasa 'enak' and 'homely" tapi sebab sibuk jaranglah dapat pergi.

Ni pose pesen baru,pose jelir lidah namanya:) And the baju kurung pulak masing2 pilih sendiri ni sorang nak pastel,sorang nak bright:)

With Badin.

Bergambar with pashik before sembahyang jumaat.

While waiting for kak ikin siap2 before we go to maklang's house we lepak2 in her room.See Pashik so sweet he wrote a birthday wish on kak ikin's mirror;)

Nice to lepak2 in kak ikin's room sambil gossip2;)

Cewah cik kak banyak ker dapat duit.

Puas hati nampak dengan hasil pungutan;)

One pose with kak ikin, hmmm Tia must be thinking so much about her money until she cannot focus in taking pictures.

Another pose taken by Mia pulak.

After eating,lepaking and gossiping we went to maklang house.

While maklang cooked mee hailam for us the two girls check out maklang's house;)

Dah check kat dalam kat luar pulak.

Semua orang lelaki pi sembahyang jumaat, we ladies pun lepak2.

Infact too lepak,we biar ajer maklang masak kat dapur hee heee.

This one pun too lepak also.

The baju kurung girls.

Maklang is very much into roses nowadays.

Her garden is fulled with roses.

The mama tried to snap picture of her own wearing jubah she bought from artiste stall last time.The jubah was from Eygpt sold by Danny X factor yang mulut bising,the cutting is nice but panas bila pakai sebab too many layers;)

And this is my favourite najjah shawl,asyik pakai sama saja sebab belit apa pun boleh:)

While people in the house makan tak sudah:)

Makan minum makan minum..lepas kueh raya mee hailam,cendol,nasi..dasat betul bila raya no limit..hmmm kena puasa cepat2 ni;)

As for our house Heni tak ada pun mama managed to kemas our garden and added few new pots and blooms.

Indoor orchids;)

And mama's kichen is operating as usual now;) Yesterday was ala carte order from people of the house,the girls requested chicken wings and coleslow,the papa had lamb chopped while uwan had her gulai daging salai with kedondong muda.

And this morning mama cooked mee bandung for breakfast.

As for heni yang balik bercuti pulak,her flight scheduled to arrive at 9.50pm last night.at 12.00 midnight my house was ringing madly lucky i heard it and when down to pick up.The caller said " Puan saya telefon dari airport limo,saya nak hantar maid puan balik tapi sekarang saya sudah sesat sebab maid puan tak tau alamat bla bla bla!" Itu lah cerita heni macam2 lah drama dia and as usual mesti blur punya;) Apa pun i shouldnt complaint much but bersyukur dengan kemudahan yang allah kurniakan,walaupun she blur tapi dia jujur.Some people their maid ran away,went back and never turn up,cheated them, did bad things to the family including bomoh and put dirty things in the food.Heni every year balik mesti dia cari jalan balik rumah kita orang balik,balik pulak penuh buah tangan sampai keropok belinjau pun stock pun cukup setahun.As usual tiap balik mesti ada buah tangan utk setiap orang,anak perempuannya kirimkan baju utk Tia Mia,tudung for me and uwan including mashik and maklang,even her emak pun kirimkan kueh2 utk kita orang.setiap yang dia bawak balik tu sedap tak sedap pun mesti i makan depan dia,tau sangat bermakna lah bagi orang susah nak bawakkan untuk kita.Balik ajer dia tak lengah terus lah mengemas rumah cuma this time nothing much untuk dia kemaskan except baju2 kotor dari raya because i managed to control the house,it was "no mess mode' during her absence and my Clorox wet wipes really helped a lot..hee hee i love you Clorox wetwipes walaupun ada pantun berbunyi 'sudah dapat gading bertauh tanduk tak berguna lagi" i still love you;)Actually kalau heni pandai banyak benda boleh senang kan dia,like the toilet i taught her to use the toilet bowl cleaner same goes with the bathroom floor,you just need to spray before you go to bed and the next day you rinse- " walllaaaa' bersinar-sinar kilatnya but heni mesi nak buat traditional way memberus berus.Mirror pun sama she can just use glass cleaner tapi dia nak use newpaper jugak.tak apalah yang penting dia tak kurus tapi tamnbah gemok:);)

Hari ni i bagilah kelonggaran untuk 'no mess day sikit since my 'walking wetwipes' dah balik,i boleh golek2 kat verandah sambil tengok these two main air..

Alhamdulillah we had good time together walaupun kadang2 kesabaran sangat tipis bila kena buat semua kerja rumah;) We made it darlings;) jom tidur sekarang belakang pun sudah sakit::);)

Night2 and kak kasih redha betul lah tekaan tu;):)

Raya stories continue:) Balik kampung memang best,semua nostalgia,duduk2 kat halaman rumah dengan adik beradik,anak2 sedara,teringat dulu2,my arwah father memang strict:) I duduk kampung pun bukan dapat nak mandi sungai,dia tak bagi.selalunya i duduk lah depan halaman bertinggung tengok budak2 kampung lalu mandi sungai meleleh airliur tak boleh pergi.My sister cakap 'haaa den dogil den pogi jugak lepas tu abah datang bawak rotan" hee..hee..my arwah father dulu kerja kerajaan,my mother duduk di quaters kerajaan lama di KP,bila pencen balik kampung sebab dia dah biasa jaga beratus orang dia pun terbawak-bawak lah displin dia tu sebab tu bila mengaji quran dgn dia sangat takutttt:) tapi dia tak lah kejam tak boleh pergi 'bersosial' dgn budak2 tapi dia buatkan bangsal tempat main,and dia allow budak2 perempuan yang dia kenal datang main with me,i masih ingat kat bangsal kita orang simpan set main masak2 ada tea set yang besar dan cantik colour pink,nanti kita main hidang biskut cream crackers:)

Bila balik kampung lepas jer raya pertama kita memang tak breakfast dalam rumah mesti nak breakfast kat halaman uwan because suasana pagi was too beautiful to be missed;)

Sangat seronok breakfast di halaman rumah uwan;)

Tia Mia dengan tak mandi hanya basuh muka pun datang join di halaman nak makan half boiled eggs::)

semua pun ada lemang,rendanh nasi impit and kalau nak maggie pun boleh masak..memang masalah sikit duduk kampung ni sebab selera sedap saja;)so ada masalah tak boleh berenti makan:)

The girls with their softboiled eggs:)

Sejuk dan nyaman.

Sebahagian masih dalam rumah tak bangun tidur lagi..Tia Mia memang bangun awal kat kampung,selalu excited just like bila kita travel ke farmhouse kat overseas they like suasana pagi.

Then papa jumpa pelepah pinang puring dia pun tunjuk lah kat anak2 dia macam mana budak2 zaman dulu had fun with it.

Ha ha Mia trying the ride.

Then they had fun ferrying thier Minnies;)

Lepas breakfast kita bersiap nak pergi rumah adik dan anak sedara uwan di kampung sebelah.

Bergaya-gaya lah anak2 dara ni.

Handbags tak tinggal nak mengutip duit.

Okay jom kita pergi jalan2.

Lepas rumah anak saudara uwan kita pergi rumah adik uwan.Rumah adik uwan ada kawasan yang luas,adik uwan ni dah tak duduk sini,dia pun macam uwan duduk rumah anak dia kat KL.Adik uwan ni masa muda sangat rajin,rumah dia kalau ada daun kering jatuh sehelai pun dia kejar pergi pungut he he..he:)

kawasan rumah adik uwan ni atau kita orang panggil Achu ,menantu2 lelaki dia yang bersihkan.So sesiapa yang nak kahwin gadis kampung kena lah buat2 kerja jugak bila balik kampung tau:):) Dah bersih boleh pukul2 bola golf kat sini:)

Rumah Achu ni sebahagian masih ada yang originalnya di kekalkan dan ada reban ayam,itik dan pokok2 keliling.

Tu dia uwan dan Achu yang pakai tutup kepala putih,he he kemain manja uwan,dia duduk atas Achu pun duduk bawah melayan uwan.

Ayan bukan main happy lagi dapat makan macam2:)

Sebelum balik kita pergi tengok2 buah-buahan kat halaman Achu.

Banyaknya buah kedondong Achu,kita ambik nak masak dengan daging salai.

Reban ayam Achu,best kan..macam rasa farm house,Tia Mia excitedlah.

Sibuklah Achu nak ambik limau bali dan macam2 nak bagi kita orang.

Balik dari rumah achu kita singgah pekan Kuala Pilah beli fishnet nak tangkap ikan di sungai dan bahan2 nak buat BBQ.Bila petang kita orang terjun sungai cari anak ikan,sayang tak tangkap gambar,lepas dah sejuk2 kita balik and my nephew sets fire for BBQ.

KakYan membakar fishballs,Tia Mia yang sejuk tak sabar2 nak makan.

Seronok lah dua orang ni cucuk macam2 kat stick dia orang.

Tak sabar2 nak makan.

Unfortunately tak lah lama sangat dapat BBQ sebab rumah Dato' dekat rumah uwan buat open house dengan sessi karaoke bising seluruh kampung,macam2 lagu dangdut dari suara pecah keluar,sejak petang bawak ke malam tak henti2 hujan lebat kilat sabung menyabung pun keluar..so we blamed it on those 'sumbang suara' for the hujan..heee..heee..anyway we had a good time but we miss collecting money from the Dato' house who always give RM50 per person each year:);)

Tahun ni plan nya nak raya lama2 rumah uwan sebab nak balik KL pun semua rumah pun cuti including MIL yang pergi bercuti panjang.Then my sister in law pulak tak sakit,so first day raya my brother kena bawak di ke hospital KL,so we had to cut short our stay,Alhamdulillah dapat lah jugak until 3rd raya.Semalam kita pergi melawat mashik,Alhamdulillah dah bertambah baik nanti kita post jalan2 ke rumah mashik and maklang pulak.Until then bye.
