merdeka! merdeka! merdeka!

merdekakah kita?

ntah... persepsi masing-masing adalah subjektif.

those days, kalo merdeka day, bangun pagi tengok perbarisan. hari ni kul 9 baru celik mata. itu pun sebab adam dah "good morning mama! electric dah ada mama. kita dah tak panas lagi". kalo ayat dia cuma "morning mama!" confirm aku doze off balik. hahaha..

made pun takde di kala long weekend ni. jadiknya senyum sumbing ajela bangun pagi. keje ada sikit lagi. kang last minute la buat. macam biasa. hehehehe...

dari semalam asik layan lagu raya. rasa berkobar aje tahun ni nak buat kuih raya. alasan setiap tahun - oven takde. hehehe.. time ni jugaklah asik terkenang kuih raya uwan. mmm.. syahdu. kuih raya uwan takdelah semprit ke yg ber-colourful ke, atau yang bercokelat bagai. dia punya kuih2 lama aje. kuih bijan tu confirm ada. kuih bunga ros tu. kuih siput. macam2 kuih lah.. itu hari rasa nak nangis mengenangkan kuih ketayap. nak sangat makan kuih tu, tapi rasa ngek sangat nak buat tak reti. so i called mak uteh - my resort for recipes. and as she went on explaining the ingredients, she mentioned "you bancuh macam roti jala yang uwan buat tu". mmm.... kalo kata bancuh macam roti jala aje tak boleh agaknya.. kena mention jugak "macam uwan buat". that's how relativenya uwan and kuih serta makanan.

same goes to when made needs to fly off the other day. as it's his first overseas trip yg agak jauh, i intend to make some sambal ikan bilis so that he wont be kebulur over there. unfortunately, after few trials, i still cant make a good sambal ikan bilis. well... it was good for us to eat. but i guess it's not good enough for made to bring it over for his trip. so we called off the idea, and asked mak for her extra serunding instead. and again.... memories with uwan melambai2. when mak or bapak had to go for an overseas trip, uwan will definitely bertungkus lumus pegi chow kit to get some good ikan bilis to make her specialty, sambal ikan bilis goreng. and inilah bekalan yg mak dengan bapak selalu bawak selain maggi.

back to merdeka.. uwan is a true supporter of UMNO. to me regardless of which political group you're in, or whatever view you've having; the most important thing is how synonym MALAYSIA is to you. regardless what "kind" you are, the virtue is how you'd like to value your own country. looking at uwan supporting UMNO has been a joy to me. flashing back the memories on how she made me complete the borang keahlian for all the UMNO members had been so much fun. banyak woooo.... satu kampung pandan punya keahlian. she didn't say much. she said what she felt she had to say. at times, bila pegi ceramah tu, dia tido. tapi tetiba aje dia bangun, bagi point dia. majik! that's my uwan.

the other day as we were clearing up her cupboard, i took one of her baju UMNO just to feel her patriotism and national spirit. tapi ntah bila nak pakai; muat ke tak pun tak tau jugak. paw tu penting (sebelum org lain paw dulu). hahahaha...

selamat berposa & memerdekakanlah diri anda sebelum org lain menjajah semula.
