I'm So Grateful
Hello..Hi..
Syukur. Alhamdullillah. Segala pujian itu bagi ALLAH.
That’s what I want to say firstly in this entry.
I was not feeling well since hari raya haji. Even I was been advised by a doctor to get admitted in the hospital.
I wanted to write about our activity during the raya haji. But I can’t due to my sickness. It started sine the day of raya.
Everybody was gathered at our late grandma’s house in kampong. Aunt lang and myself were prepared the dishes at my place on the Monday. Then, came another troop in the late evening. And as usual, my house will be the last stop before they all left to kampong. Since the house was not been visited for a quite long time, so two of my aunts were agreed to cook few dishes more at my place.
All the ketupat, the gravy kuah kacang, “tumis” for nasi kerabu were well prepared at sharp 12 midnight. And only after that, they had made the move. Dad, myself , my third brother and sister were only got there the next day.
This year qurban season was totally different from years before. For every years (since my childhood) as I can remember, my family will have our quban at the grandma’s place, without failed. As far that I an remember we had not having it for two times only, first the year that my dad went to haj, and the second one is last year, when everybody was celebrating it in KB except my family. So, in those years, we were not having it.
And this year, everybody was made a decision to celebrate it in grandma’s place and have our qurban as usual. But another thing was changed though. They were not had the slaughter the cow at the backyard of the gram’s house as usual, but they had it at the slaughter house instead. I was laughed when I heard the idea at first. Everybody was so excited and make a joke on it. Even, most of my cousins were not happy, coz they said there won’t be felt the “suasana kurban” as before.
Anyway, off they went to the slaughter house right after the raya prayer. And actually it was a good choice as well; coz the weather was not really good before the hari raya. To do all the slaughter and keep the meat well organized on a rainy day would be difficult. So, this year, for only 50 ringgit all the job was done in less than an hour which previously we the whole family took it the whole day to got it done. Less work and the house was kept clean, which mean, we had plenty time to relax and just waiting for the relatives coming on that day. What a pleasure !!
Having a fresh meat was another thing. Eveybody was like “hilang akal” eating “daging”. I know fresh meat is sweet and tender. I didn’t take it as much as they did. I just only took 4 or 5 dry fried beef. Itu pun sebab tak tahan orang sogok. But the rest, they like having a festive. From the ox tail, gear box soup, the batang pinang and even the ox’s penis, all been the superb dishes that day.
We had been there until night. I left gram’s house at 9pm. Some of them still spent the another night there because they were still on the holiday and me not.
And the “disaster” was coming the next day for me. I’m not really keen to use the word “disaster”. I prefer to say that was “ujian” Allah. I was sick the next day and it was took many days until last 2 days.
Only last 2 days, I felt much, much better. And only tonight I have courage to switch on my computer.
Next entry I’ll write for what had happened for the rest of the week.
