اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَا تُهُ
Title for today would be: Your earliest memory.
I'd say, it's hard to remember which one of the memories I had in mind was the earliest. So.. I decided to write about my earliest memories or maybe specifically memories during my childhood.
Antaranya tertera di perenggan seterusnya (k skema):
1. Baju baru, kasut baru and of course duit raya.
2. balik kampung
3. Jumpa cousins
4. Bunga api (I was a big fan of bunga api, and not so much on mercun.)
5. Inai of course.
I still remembered that before this, Raya selalunya jatuh pada hari sekolah so there will be no more classes after raya which was great. So, as a child saya anticipated Hari Raya a lot. Sebab I got to buy a lot of new stuff; baju kurung, baju jalan, seluar jalan, kasut raya dan kalau diperlukan mungkin stokin raya juga. haha.
Honestly, I could not remembered this one but what I am going to tell you is based on the pictures my family got of me and my brother, Naem. So, I remembered seeing a couple of pictures of me and Naem wearing identical clothes. I don't have that picture in my laptop so tak boleh nak tunjuk. Ingat lagi, kalau raya and nak beli baju saya dan Naem, Mak and Abah always brought us to The Stores and beli baju Kiko or KikiLala. Haha, ingat lagi jenama ni? The one thing that I can recalled was the pink heels that I wanted for my kasut raya. There's like polystyrene marbles in the heels and the heels was transparent. Ecehh, konon perasan princess lah tu. Hahah. For duit raya, me and a few of my friends followed Naem and a few of his friends (well, kitorang duduk berek dulu, so his friend selalunya kawan je dengan saya. Kawan saya kawan je dengan Naem), went for raya, jalan-jalan kemain jauh sampai Kampung Bukit Merbah, beraya rumah entah sesiapa entah. Haha lepas tu complained bila ada sorang makcik ni bagi duit raya 50 sen je. lol. Bila dah besar baru faham perasaan bila ada budak entah sesiapa datang nak beraya rumah. lewls. Sorry makcik2, pakcik2 yang kitorang pernah beraya. :P
and yes, nilah berek. I think this was at my house level, level 1. and again yes, the one in front wearing a purple kurung is me. hahah. Baju merah tu pulak Naem. yang lain tu semua kawan kitorang. yang paling kecik tu jiran kitorang. hiks.
Balik kampung, paling suka. Kalau dulu selalunya akan balik awal. Like 3 hari sebelum raya so that sempat merasa berbuka dan sahur di kampung. Saya suka duduk dalam kereta, walaupun most of the time I fell asleep. Suka sebab boleh singgah R&R and makan banyak benda (macam bihun sup and pau) ngeheheh. And boleh tidur tanpa diganggu. Pergerakan kereta macam kena dodoi, so I like it.
And of course, bila balik kampung maksudnya akan jumpa cousin.
I changed laptop so that's why the watermark on this picture is different from the usual. Haha, anyways, above are my cousins for my mom's side. And yes, that kid with red shirt was me. I'm small, I know. Lol, masa kecik mestilah kecik kan, nak besar mana pulak. The one beside me who showed the peace sign with those little fingers is Naem. Rindunya zaman bebudak dulu. huhu.
And of course bila dah sampai kampung, memang every night akan main bunga api and mercun sampailah stock habis. I prefer playing with bunga api than the mercuns (tambah 's' sebab I meant all types of mercun lewl). Sebab for me mercun sangat scary since you need to throw it as fast as you can and just imagine what will happen if tetiba tangan kita macam lambat sikit nak react untuk baling? Haaaaaa, kan bahaya. Tapi I remembered abah pernah bagi buluh kecik yang kat hujung dia boleh letak seketul mercun papan, seketul je ye? Bukan sepapan, untuk letak kat situ and bakar. So that I don't have to touch it using my hand or fingers. But still, I don't like mercun. Tapi dah besar sekarang, malas dah nak keluar main bunga api, mercun lagilah kan? Tak suka sebab asap banyak gila and dentuman dia kuat sangat, sampai rasa macam jantung pun bergegar terus. Saya kengkadang marah cousins yang main sebab ada babies yang tidur dalam rumah. Pastu kat luar berdentam-dentum. Kita yang dah besar pun terkejut, babies apatah lagi kan? Takdelah marah depan2, marah sama2 dengan cousin perempuan yang felt the same dengan saya je. AHAHA. kalau dulu siap macam berlawan bunyi mercun dengan kampung sebelah lagi, sekarang nak dengar pun rasa nak marah. HAHAH. Well, people changed. hiks
Last would be pakai Inai. Selalu malam raya memang all the girls akan kerumun nenek. I mean siang tu mak-mak tolong petikkan daun inai. Sebab bebudak perempuan semua nak pakai inai. Then malam tu, nenek yang tolong tumbukkan dedaun tu guna lesung batu. Ingat lagi semua excited. Lepas tu mak masing2 yang selalunya akan pakaikan. Pakai before tidur, lepas dah gosok gigi and buat segala keperluan sebelum tidur. Sebab jari2 ni akan dibalut dengan plastik kedai runcit warna merah or oren tu. Kena ikat ketat2 supaya sesiapa yang tidur buas tu takdelah inai bersepah melepet atas tilam. Lewl, and besok pagi saya dengan cousins semua excited nak basuh tangan sama2 dalam satu gayung. Haha, jari semua kecut tapi suka sebab merah. Tapi, bila dah besar jadi tak suka sangat inai. Sebab nampak tak bersih, I mean you know, bila tak pakai inai kan kuku dengan tangan putih je, then bila pakai kuku jadi merah/oren. So nampak tak lawa. Lewl.
So, that's it. My earliest memories of my childhood.
Akhirnya berjaya update my second day of writing challenge. hihi.
Last but not least, stay safe everyone. :) May Allah protects us all.
