so on Friday after hubby's work, we went to Seremban as my boss is organizing and iftar...then we went back to my MIL hauz...on Saturday afternoon we headed to Ipoh...da trip that i was looking forward too....since mak passed away, this is da 1st time i went back to Ipoh....the plan was to breaking fast wif my brothers and SILs, wif pah (bapak's mom) and wif opah (mak's mom)..... wah...banyaknye plan....of course, coz this Raya i'll be celebrating it in Seremban...so i have to meet ma pah and opah before raya...
so on saturday i planned to buka pose wif Opah in Bota....45 mins drive from Ipoh....tp tetibe bancik teremosi plak sbb dia dah penat2 masak and dia dah ajak abang buka pose sama that very same day....and he said mlm tuh nak bincang bout mak's insurance and debts....so cancel..bebuka kat mak's hauz wif bros and SILs and nieces...
every year during Ramadhan withou fail, mak will always made nasi ulam...nasi ulam is pah (bapak's mak) fav dish...it was made from almost 41 ulams yg dipotong halus2, wif ikan kering, udang kering gaul dgn nasi puteh...da taste is superb....so this year, me and K linda want to continue da tradition....i dun even remember how to do it....slalu mak yg prepare....aku just sebok2 jerk...huhu....skang bile nak buat dah xtau....so sunday morning dah pegi pasar...morning tak morning sgt le sbb kol 11 baru bgn...hahaha....biasalah kalo balik ipoh....tido katil spring mahal dlm air-cond...mmg bgn lmbt le...
giler ramai pegi pasar, me and hubby wif bancik and afrina...pegi pasar besar ipoh....kat pasar terjumpe plak dgn abg, k linda and delinot.....hahaha...mcm family outing to pasar besar jerk.....so chck wif each group dah dpt ke brg2...it's so impossible to collect all 41 ulams....mn yg ade je sudah....then headed back to umah...dat afternoon baru pegi umah pah...me, hubby, bancik, k sal and their girls sampai dolu....k linda as usual 10x mentioned da venue she'll still confuse...she tot nak buat kat umah mak...haiyo ini cekgu linda kan...manyak kompius la...patut la da students pun always kompius....sampai semua dok melepek jerk lagik....duduk2 sembang2 baca paper....jam dah nak kol 5 dah nie...bile plak nak setat buat nie....
since no one seems to care, aku pun pegi le dapur tuk membasuh ulam-ulam tuh.....then pah pun dtg...followed by wan....pah start wif ikat all da daun ulam....then she asked me to sliced da ginger finely...sbb nak buat nasi ulam nie, semua kene potong halus-halus....cara nak buat dia mmg remeh dan memerlukan kehalusan and concentration....kalo nak buat sambil lewa mmg xkan la....memandangkan aku nie mak buyong, xle nak diri lelama, so aku angkut semua bahan-bahan nak dipotong ke dining table....nak keje sambil duduk le....
and guess wut, K sal mmg xkan le nak offer buat pape....minah nie mmg le pemalas tahap dewa...hahaha....dia bole plak dok pangku Arissa (new born daughter around 2 months old)...padahal budak tuh tgh sebok dok tido...dia saje dok pangku anak dia kekonon anak dia meragam sambil dia dok baca paper.....then k linda sampai, of course she'll assist us...dia tolong tumbuk udang kering....pastuh agaknya k sal cam dah panas punggung, dia pegi le dapur offer tuk potong tembikai....she said "biar saya potong tembikai...nnt simpan dlm fridge ye wan".....dia pegi bukak fridge, pastuh dia tgk cam xde space...so she decide not to cut da watermelon....dia sambung balik dok baca paper....
then dr dapur, i dengar wan panggil dia...huhu...agaknya wan pun dah berbulu tgk dia dok melepak kan....wan soh dia bakar ikan masin sbb wan nak masak nasi....lepas je dia bakar, dia sambung balik duduk...padahal pah, wan and k linda semua sebuk kat dapur...aku tak abes2 lagi menghiris ingredients....abang pun siap tolong potong ulam-ulam tuh.....dia nie mmg muka tebal betul la...huhuhu....ade kan org camtuh....
then when everything is ready....xde sape pun nak gaul...biar jerk...at around 7:00pm, baru le we request pah tuk gaul da nasi wif da ulam, udang kering, ikan kering, black papper, sengkuang, halia.....we said, "nak air tgn pah gak. baru sedap ckit"....huhu....sian org tua tuh kene menggaul....and hasilnya, nasi ulam yg sgt sedap sampai bancik tambah 6x...and hubby yg slalu mkn ckit pun tambah 3x.....huhu.....
on Monday tuh, we went to Opah hauz...nak bebuka kat umah opah mmg tak sempat le kot sbb that nite nak balik kl dah.....so we went there in da afternoon.....ade opah and acik ley (mak youngest brother)...then tetibe pak uda (mak younger brother) yang tak penah-penah join or lepak and chat wif me tetibe bole dtg lepak skalik....surprise...surprise....hahaha....pukul 2 opah nak gi sepital...opah ade kencing manis, and last week her foot thumb luka sampai belubang...acik ley kata sampai nampak tulang..exagerator btul la...huhu....she has to go to spital everyday tuk cuci luka...so since i'm here, me and hubby took opah to klinik kesihatan bota kiri....we accompany her into bilik cuci luka..then i accompany her to see MA....i can see that she was so overwhelming wif that...coz when mak passed away, she insist make to be buried in Bota, near her house coz she's afraid that we won't come and visit her anymore....opah, u're still my grandmother eventho mak is not around....bancik told me before that he can see that opah is so sad and devastated coz her beloved daughter passed away....and when i sees her, she does look so devastated and sad....kesian opah...anak perempuan kesayangan meninggal then anak lelaki lari then balik curik barang kemas dia...anak bongsu dia plak dah jadi janda....
and as usual since i've started working, i never fail to give her duit raya.....even masa dtg pun i brought her milo, teh, biskut and buah.....she's my mother's mother...i'll love her as much as mak love her and as much as i love my mak....opah, dun u ever think that we won't come and visit or love you when mak passed away...we won't have mak if we dun have you.....i will always love u opah..... and opah non stop saying thank you to me and hubby for taking her to klinik kesihatan....then i said, "xde pape la opah. kan tanggungjawap kami. opah kan opah kami"...before we leave, i salam and kissed her cheeks and forehead and give her a big hug...this time, she did not hesitate or reluctant..sbb opah was not a passionate person, she had a very thought life that's why....
then malam tuh bukak pose mkn McD...sbb semua dah dok sebut nak mkn McD.....bebuka kat umah abang then head staright back to KL.....
besh giler org xde pun...bukan cam kat klinik kesihatan KJ....
that's opah...tgh tunggu nak cuci luka....nasib baek da nurse was so baek....credit to nurse in Bota Kanan
that's how da luka looks like...nie hubby amik gamba...aku nak tgk pun takle weh...rasa cam nak pitam...huhu....
