Kenangan Raya 2009

1st day raya: Lillie nervously waiting for her turn to bersalam bermaaf-maafan. She'd better, after whacking poor Milo recently. No duit raya for you, Lillie, this year..

2nd day raya: Ann and Awwa having tea on the steps of their stepmother's beautifully preserved ancestral home called Rumah Bulat in Rembau. Macam anak dara kampung betul..

2nd day raya: Naj and Ann lepaking, kampung-style, in Rembau. Boleh dirasakan suasana kampung yang aman damai...

2nd day raya: When silat meets kungfu, tak kering gusi dibuatnya.. The boys said depa seronok dapat experience suasana raya kat kampung..

1st day raya: Ann with her Tok Bet, cousin to her late Grandpa, arwah Tan Sri Rahman. Picture taken at Tok's (grandma) house in Section 16, PJ.


2nd day raya: Kids with their dad and his wife, visiting her kampung in Rembau. Check out the classic tangga batu, peculiar to traditional houses in Melaka and Negri Sembulan.

1st day raya: Ann with her beloved grandma, Puan Sri Halimah. This is her 35th raya without arwah Pak Rahman. We love you Mak/Tok!

1st day raya: "The" place where everything happens - Tok's living room. Disinilah kenduri, mesyuarat, sembahyang berjemaah, muzakarah, argue, settle scores, meminang, bertunang, menikah.......all under Tok's watchful eyes..

    Komen Pak Malim, kucing ray yg alim.

    Gambar2 ini semua sangat cantik, kata Pak Malim dengan mata yg lentik. Lillie, nak mintak cium skit, boleh? kata Pak Malim sambil memegang koleh.

    Raya sakan nampaknya bebudak ni - mesti banyak collect duit raya....

    Tangga batu tu memang the most outstanding feature of the house. I remember at my grandpa's house, they washed the tangga everyday. What's sad is that they no longer build houses like that anymore. They are all detached bungalows now.

    Waah lamanya Lillie kena denda, haha

    oh no Tok Bet is also my Tok Bet!!!! How is he? Oh my God this is such a small world.

    Yes, I agree with the others - the shots are so artistic. My salam to Tok Bet. He came to London some years back.

    TM, MA, Kay - Indeed they were. In fact they said raya tahun ni somehow extra meriah for them, with trips to Rembau and Melaka..

    Ray:
    mintak cium si Lillie?
    Baik2, Lillie tu kaki buli!
    Nanti tak pasal Ray kena uli
    kata kama yang dah lali..

    MrsN - my son Joe took all the pics. For the ones with him in them, he set up the tripod. Dia memang budding pixman pun, MrsN. Creative fellow that one, he works in an advertising agency anyway.

    Zendra - they no longer collect duit raya zendra.. semua dah berkerja. In fact, for years now they have been the ones bagi duit raya to their nieces and nephews ( children of their cousins)..

    Naz - Lillie and her muka sposen. I think dia terkedu tengok all the hustle & bustle.. tak pernah rumah sesibuk ini..lol

    Kak Teh - But of course, Kak Teh! Kan my kids and yourself ada pertalian keluarga. Pak Bet and I dok communicate through Facebook. He's an avid Facebooker. he sent me an email recently, mintak your email address. Says he has some pixs of you and Wan that he took some yrs ago (must be masa dia pi London kot)..

    Salam,

    Al-kisahnya...where exactly in Rembau?; sajalah ngendeng bertanya. Manalah tahu kalau-kalau terpalit sama...

    Memang cecantik gegambar tu.

    Hi Puteri, u cracked me up, even the pussy want a piece of the action..hahaha. Why not? Part of the family too mah.

    Hey, I like the black & white shots (so retro one), gee oso got Silat v Kung Fu too. I recognised that crane stance from ‘Karate Kid’ after all I’m abit like Pat Morita ‘wax on, wax off’, yeah my ‘Iron Palm’ technique was & still is awesome ;);)

    Must agree with Zen, sad that they don’t built character houses (built with TLC love) like that anymore, so much so I think it’s vital, all existing houses like that should be heritage listed.

    Salam,
    Tommy

    deli - Kampung Pedas, according to my daughter. Kalau tersangkut, alangkah bagusnya, ya.. bertambah lagi keluarga kita..

    Tommy - hehehe, which pussy doesn't la!(a piece of the action, I mean)..LOL

    Yeah, I too like the b&w ones. like you said, very retro. Joe is always experimenting with photography. The two fellas also kid around a lot, they seem to enjoy each other's company. As for the house, I have always liked what is called Rumah Tangga Melaka. I think it has character.

    Hahaha Puteri, don’t u know curiosity kills the cat. Your Lillie’s so territorial one for giving Milo the boot! But then again doesn’t all pussies do that, piss off competition; I’m hogging all the attention to myself! Milo tu da jadi history ‘Puss in Boots’…..ROTFLMAO

    Salaam Putri Kama,

    Here's to our six degrees: Tok Bet was the photographer at our walimah aeons ago. He was such a keen lensman that he leant hard on an unlocked toilet door to get that extra depth. Of course the door gave way, and he fell gguling bating into the toilet.

    That added some gaiety to our walimah.

    PS This was when 'gay' meant happy.

    Salam 'Idil Fitri,

    Seronok juga kalau beraya di kampung sendiri, lebih-lebih lagi kalau masih ada kedua-dua ibu bapa......

    Macam kawan sudah tiada sesiapa di kampung, baik sebelah kawan atau sebelah isteri, maka berayalah di temapy sendiri....

    This "tangga batu" - I've seen many advertisements that feature these houses. I'm wondering why it didn't make it elsewhere. Can't remember having seen any house with this in Kedah/Perlis; and certainly not in Kelantan.

    Mummy knows that I have been reading your blog, and she was the one urging me to drop a line or two ! Ha ha... Mum sends her salam.. She is doing fine, thank you for asking.

    Ahmad - indeed. In the east coast, all tanggas leading up to the main door of the house are made of wood. but i certainly like this 'tangga melaka'. classic betul.

    Myra - your mum is a wonderful woman. rajin teramat..

    Terkenang di ketika itu
    Ku dimanja dan disayang selalu
    Apa saja kemahuan diri
    Akan cuba dipenuhi

    Walau hidup dalam kesukaran
    Kau kan cuba untuk membahagiakan
    Demi anak-anak yang tersayang
    Kau berdua kan berkorban

    Tetapi baru kusedari
    Tidak mungkin kan terbalas budi
    Pengorbananmu tiada ternilai
    Hanya Tuhan kan membalasnya

    Salam… Aidilfitri
    Ayah bonda yang dicintai
    Maafkanlah anakmu ini
    Kerna belum cukup berbakti

    Pabila menjelang lebaran
    Baju baru kan disediakan
    Walau mungkin kami tak mengerti
    Keperitan saat itu

    Namun wajahmu terus bercahaya
    Oh sucinya kasih sayang itu
    Di bibirmu kan menguntum senyum
    Andainya anak-anakmu bahagia

    Salam… Aidilfitri
    Ayah bonda yang dicintai
    Maafkanlah anakmu ini
    Kerna belum cukup berbakti
