balik kampung

sorry since dah more than a week tak jenguk blog nii, actually hani had balik kampung in pasir mas since the 26th nov to 2nd dec. altho it's raining and banjir kat east coast, ianya tak jeopardise our holiday, it'd been a pesta to us .. sepanjang kat kampung, breakfast will be a-dollar of nasi berlauk ayam and a-delicious-50sen pulut pagi .. almost everyday, hani, cek and ayoh dok kat steamer cos it's so cold outside

my lil sis, ayu had fetched us, aqeel, aamal and hani from the airport at 8.30 am; sengaja took the earliest flight cos nak singgah breakfast nasi kerabu kat kedai pak lah in seberang pmas. had nasi kerabu with ayam and daging bakar and siap tapau for cek, ayoh and atok kat rumah, yummy .. lepas je zohor, aya and ayu ikut we all to rantau panjang. the weather was good and we did a little shopping. managed to buy bunga telur yang murah and unique. on the way back, sempat jenguk moksu yam, my auntie who suffered a minor stroke.

had our normal breakfast but singgah for another roti goreng while waiting for my sis, ana and her daughter, byla who wanted to follow us to pengkalan kubur. all the while, ayu will be with us and by 11am, we had reached p'kubur, a tax free zone. it'd been a while since we were there and lots of improvement can be seen, it's more or less like petaling street now. we didnt do much shopping but ana had bought 2 5-litre corning casseroles. sampai je rumah, my auntie, mokcik sah and her daughter, cikgu yati came visiting and over the phone earlier, had promised another auntie, che ngah to visit her and dalam kepenatan selepas asar, we left to her house. she had prepared kuih muih ubi kayu based for us, buah salak from her kebun and the daun serai wangi for the steamer.

had received a call from smskel clang, azman and he's on the way to visit hani kat rumah. he's used to coming to our house masa kecik2 dulu and he'd his way with cek and ayoh. he was there till 12 noon. had promised ana to have lunch at her place immediately after azman left. late afternoon, received calls from dr yati and kak nik, confirming on our meeting at moon kopitiam somewhere near pengkalan chepa after maghrib nanti. around 3pm, aya had celebrated madhirah nur aisyah's 1st birthday kat rumah cek; only ana and family dijemput. we had sate, kuihmuih and birthday cake. lepas je maghrib, hani and anak2 left to meet old friends; we reached the place an hour late due to massive jam kat jambatan sultan yahya petra, bus rosak kat tengah2 and dah tersesat jalan. besides dr yati and kak anik, azman had joined us. it was a beautiful nite and we left the place after 12 mid nite.

it's a rainy day and had promised cek to visit an uncle, ayah long in kubang terap who had just completed doing renovation at his villa. they'll be hosting the youngest daughter's wedding, ismazarni, a pathologist in march next year. ayoh long and cek long are ok despite of their age and urging aamal to appear on tv soon. ayu had left for kl, she'd to complete the unfinished task ..
rantau panjang dah banjir, kami anak beranak still went out to makan mee celup and coconut shake kat kedai moksu, it's the best so far.

mon, 1st dec
immediately left to kota bharu after breakfast with aamal and aya looking for batik in bazar buluh kubu. managed to buy batik sedondon fo cek and ayoh before receiving a call from an old friend who owns an outlet kat situ. managed to meet her and terbeli another sedondon suit for hani and hubby, few pieces of batik, kain hantaran and samping songket for aamal's engagement; tho it's on the higher end, hani's happy with the purchase due to its exclusivity ..

tue, 2nd dec
received news that rantau panjang dah clear, with aqeel and aamal, hani had left early in aya's myvi. air masih melimpah di sepanjang jalan, but it's not dangerous and there are lots of people around, it's just like the old days, banjir kecil is just like a pesta to everyone. sesampai je kat kastam r'panjang, terpaksa turned back cos air masih dalam and takut2 myvi aya tak lepas. aqeel and aamal were a little bit frustrated cos masih banyak yang hendak dibeli and hani is supposed to collect the raga hantaran which were ordered earlier. anyhow, singgah kat kilang ayam percik before heading to pasar p'mas. had bought 2 kotak to isi barang2. lepas je zohor, aya and her daughters, enni and sarah had sent us to the airport. had given them a treat after checking in. around 6pm, we are already in papa's car ..
