A new Hijrah year: a new beginning as a Muslim, a continuing blessed journey as a being.
I spent the last days of my 1426 with people who really matter: family and best friends, in Far’s beloved Terengganu. Went there on a ‘family matter’ trip, nevertheless had fun all the way.
Met up with Dod and Far on my 2nd day there, went out for chit chat together with the lovely couple, Wahida and Hazri at kedai air buoh gelah beso (air buah gelas besar), and I must say, Far, Wahida and Hazri played great hosts by buying Dod and I the delicious juices, Terengganu’s very own keropok lekor and ikan celup tepung. I had a good time with them. Dod and I later slept over at Far’s and I had a great blast catching up and gossiping with my best friends. (Dan kami berjaya membuat Far drive! Although only for a little while. We have faith in your driving, dear)
The next morning, after sending Dod back to her hotel and meeting Dod’s family, Far and I went strolling by the beach. The stroll was simply filled with admiring the breathtaking view of the beach in early morning, sharing of imaginasi2 pelik kami, gossiping dang melawok2 lawok (dan berlawak2 lawak) bodoh kami, but it was a very tender moment for me. Even more, when later, my parents and the rest of the family who I came to T’ganu with came to Far’s house for Nasik Dagang breakfast. It meant a lot to me to meet my family up with Far’s, simply because we always consider ourselves as sisters. And as expected, we were commented on being “Samanya korang ni, macam kembar/adik-beradik”, and naturally, our answer was “Memangpun adik-beradik, only not biologically”. I love you so much, Kindy!
1. Far, doing what she likes best at the beach: remis searching.
2. Far and I enjoying the view and each other’s company.
My trip to Terengganu was crammed with enjoying fine foods, shopping like there is no tomorrow (with the exception of myself who chose to save the bonus from Bapak to buy books and some new outfit I’d have my eye on), and having good times with family and friends. Daniel playing layang-layang by the beach with my Bapak and Eddy would have to be my favourite ‘Kodak moment’.
1. Daniel choosing his favourite layang-layang.
2. Eddy teaching Daniel to play while my Bapak enjoying himself.
3. Daniel, di awal percubaannya bermain layang-layang.
4. Daniel enjoying the kite with his Wan Chik a.k.a. my Bapak.
All in all, my ending to 1426 and my start of 1427 was a great one. Selamat tahun baru Hijrah 1427 to all my Muslim sisters and brothers. And Happy Chinese New Year to all Chinese. I thank Allah for all the love, happiness, success, blessings and chances He had given me to be a better person. Marilah kita sama2 berhijrah menjadi lebih baik, insyaAllah.
