Post Ramadan Rant

Well, hello you.

First of all, Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri! How was your holiday? Mine was hectic and fun. Not so much on going from house to house visiting relatives and whatnots, but a cousin decided to get married this holiday season and me & my sister were super busy to make the preparation as we are her appointed Mak Andam for the 2 days events.

First of, the Akad Nikah was held on Friday night (3/10/08), luckily it was held at the mosque (as the house was still quite in chaos, stuff strewn all over the place) but that night, rain poured so heavily, oh my! like a burst pipe or something! And to make matter worse, the ground surrounding bride’s house have turned squashy and muddy. Big puddles are everywhere. We debated on where to put the main table for Bride & Groom to dine after their Bersanding the next day. And as luck would have it, the tarmac road leading to the house was minimally affected and they simply moved the canopy onto the tarmac road. Anyway, I almost hyperventilating to see the bride’s shoes was streaked with mud and the red earth. Erghh! Oh well, me-the-cleaner got into actions immediately after she took it off and all is well after that. Haha! I thought so, until the next day unfolded in some mini drama as well.

It was Saturday (4/10/08) and me, Angah and Odah sang ‘Happy Birthday’ to my niece, Jijie while waking him up. It was his 4th birthday and he proudly announced that to his Atuk and Nenek while showing his 4 fingers. Aiyoh! Cutie pie! I love you Jijie and hope you’ll grow up to be a smart boy and continues to love your Mummy and this favourite auntie of yours! Haha. I was taking things easy that morning, as it was still early and only Mak intended to be early at my cousin’s place for a Khatam Quran event and Bapak sent her over. But when my aunty kept calling us and asked us to come early, I was quite irritated and passed the phone to my sister. Angah who has bersiap (get dressed), had left before me. At almost 11 am, I started the car and 500 metres later, lo and behold, my car dies. Of all the days, my car decided to dies on my way to an important event. Granted, it’s just a cousin’s wedding but I was suppose to be the (all-important) assistant today and panic attack has shot up and I was on border of became ballistic at that moment by the road. Called my brother at home and asked him to go and find any mechanic /workshop which are open that day. I waited for almost an hour and luckily, my brother found an open workshop and hauled the taukey himself to check on my car. After dropping me off at nearby junction leading to cousin’s house, brother took the Taukey back to his shop with promise that he’ll come back with replacement parts and whatnots. I passed my car key to the taukey and ran to my cousin’s house. Oh well, turns out that I was not that late, Angah has just started the make up and and I went straight to my usual role. You guess it right, an all-important assistant. After whole event thingy had quite turned down and settled, I made few phone calls and it turned out that I have to go and fetched the Taukey from his workshop because he have no transport. I was like, huh? No car at his disposal? Tak kan la takde keta at all. Quite far fetching, but whatever lah. Me and Angah then bought a birthday cake with ultraman decorations and went to the workshop to fetch the mechanic. He immediately get to the job and ask about the timing belt which never been replaced and seems in need of a new one (like I didn’t know that eh?). I agreed and arranged to go and take my car at his place the next day. Money spent aside, I am thankful that the car did not break down in the middle of nowhere or on my way back to KL.

We celebrated Jiji’s 4th birthday with lots of kicking and jumping around the house because I bought 4 masks of Power Ranger characters for Jiji, Odah, Aen and Jijah. They really bring the house down. Atuk and nenek were lost for words, and their mothers were tired of cautioning, reminding and yelling to their kids. Haha! and their favourite aunty (me!) found it very hard to pack things and drive back to KL. I was getting sleepy at the wheel again but this time, I can stop for drink and eat fruits at the Stop-area@Lanchang along the LPT. 3 hours later and after numerous expletives shouted to the erratic drivers who kept hogging the road in front of me, I made it back here safely. On the other note, I am getting another new niece or nephew somewhere next year, my brother is adding up his brood quite efficiently, I’d say.

Taa.

p/s: the above mentioned brother got admitted to ward @ hospital Manjung few days after raya. Aiyoh, get well soon, Yeh!
