Edisi terlebih sejuk...

Entah...samada kita sendiri tak sihat atau memang suhu semalam betul betul sejuk.
Tanpa kipas,on lampu dan selimut gebar toto .Itulah kisah tidur semalam.
Pagi ini tengok cikli masih berbaju sweater yang pakainya adalah masa berkunjung diCameron Highlands dan menghuni bilik sejuk gedi hospital wad kelas 1 dulu.
So... You can deduce sejuk pagi ni tahap bagaimana..
Teringat satu masa bila cuaca diutara sejuknya seakan tundra di eropah sana...hehe adakah?

Sejuk sejuk begini,ingatan melayang ke satu tempat yang pernah dikunjungi
Itulah satu tempat pun...
Edinburgh dihuni semasa musim gugur dan suhu yang paling sejuk adalah -4 degrees.
Mujur tempoh tinggal tak melampaui musim winter,kerana sekembali ke Malaysia, winter tahun itu adalah antara yang terburuk disana. -20 katanya suhu masa tu. 1984-1985.
Macammanalah nak survive kalau suhu -4 degrees pun dah berlaga kepala lutut .

Hari ni cuaca masih suram walau jam dah hampir sembilan.
Kokok kokok ayam bersahut sahutan tanda hari dah siang
Burung burung berkicau kicauan bersahut sahutan dan terbang dengan riang.

Dalam hidup ini, ada kala kita mau sejuk. Tapi ada masa panas yang dicari.
Sejuk sejuk begini kalau di JPL dulu,minyak masak dalam botol jadi beku.
Air telaga yang ditimba rasa macam air batu
Disini,water heater ada untuk digunakan bila perlu.

Eh... apa la yang cikson merapu. Posting ni rasa kaku. Tak ada cerita sebenarnya,I tell u.
In fact apalah ada sebenarnya nak diceritakan....balik2 cerita kucing dan ayam.

Ha ... nindia aksi si Fohim ketawa yang menghiburkan...

Ketawa anak anak kecil innocentkan
Tak ada tersembunyi kata 2 kiasan

Banjir Perlis –2011 updates 3/4,4/4

 

Alhamdullilah. Banjir dah surut . Dan hanya melimpah masuk bilik tayangan TV.

Jalan depan pun dah kering.Laman belakang pun dah tiada air cuma didalam longkang saja masih digenangi.

Sana sini sibuk makcik pakcik membasuh rumah dan halaman.

Berita dari Perlis FM kap kim kau  juga menguarkan berita gembira.Tapi ada tempat yang air masih tak surut kerana air tak dapat mengalir ke laut.Eeeah sedap pula lagu Siam dj radio tengah dok main.

Banjir kali ini mamason tak pergi ambil photoshoot.Rimaih nak randuk air yang entah kuman virus bakteria apa didalamnya.So not much photos yang mamason dapat upload for all sundry to see.

Mesin ATM CIMB pekan Kangar out of order,terpaksa mamason kena ke Kuala  to extend my lifeline. Perancangan nak ke Tssssco pun rasa malas saja.Nametag cikmerah entah dimana gugurnya.Cikli round satu Kangar,tapi satu kedai pun tak buka so cikmerah kena pakai nametag cardboard.Sabar ya .Besok kita buat baru.Pak Polisi harap maaf ya.Ala ala Latok.Ampun.

Oh ya ,semalam mamason makan mee bandung.Nak rekomen kat kawan rakan.

 

Nah ini dia .Sedap juga.

( Written on 3/4 -morning)

 

Dalam malas nak keluar rumah,Tsssssco macam menggamit mamason kesana.Lagi pun banyak barang dah habis.So petang kami  berdua bercikmerah ke sana.

Tujuan nak buat nametag cikmerah.So sepanjang jalan mamason dan cikli bermain I spy. Akhirnya ternampak sebuah gerai yang ini:

 

Maka kami berdua pun menghadirkan diri ke gerai ini dan diberi kerusi untuk duduk macam ini:

Entah macam mana ,mamason boleh tersembam dari bangku palastik ini dan terhamburlah kawan kita cik olympus atas lantai.Mujur tak fatal.Tapi makcik dengan selambanya mengutip air muka yang jatuh  macam tak ada apa apa terjadi.

Kami bertolak ke Tsssco selepas nama cikmerah digantung dengan sempurna.Habis misi pembelian ,kami bertolak balik dengan harta carian seperti ini :

Jangan ingat itu sahaja kerana 2 troli dibeli.Mau tahan sebulan

(Written on 3/4 –night)

 

Hari ini 4/4 mamason ke sekolah.Sepanjang jalan,kesan air banjir masih kelihatan. Habis divider jalan disodok bulldozer.

Masa melintasi Jalan Long Boh masih terdapat rumah yang bertamukan air. Pokok padi yang berada dalam beberapa stages of growing pun masih ditenggelami air.Kesian kan.Tak terkira kerugian mereka.

(Written on 4/4-evening.)

Operasi selamat

 

They were lazing around sometime ago.Those two rambunctious kids were playing hide and seek,teasing each other to their heart contents. Now,they were no where to be seen.I was petrified that they might fall in the water and be washed away.

I asked Dello,the brother but his answer was just grrrrrrrrrrrr.I asked pakmok and as usual he gave me a blank stare.

Udahlah …tak boleh harap langsung 2 ekor ni.Baik aku tanya mamason:

Mamason,my kids are gone.Couldnt find them.Did you happen to see them?

Mamason craned her head and heard some soft mewing.She knew where the kids were.

And immediately she got into action.She carried a ladder …a long one and opened the trap door on the ceiling.

I climbed on the ladder ,followed by Dell but the kids were nowhere to be seen.

I then asked pakli :

Pakli,Nina Ricci gone. Please find them.

Pakli immediately went into action.He hollered the kids names as I watched from the distance.

Mieeeow,mieeeow…..came the sound from the rooftop.OMG both Nina and Ricci had climbed on top of the roof.

Pakli got the ladder and tried to coax the kids down.He showed them the tin of sardine,their favourite. Nina obediently came down and was rescued .But Ricci was afraid of the male cat that had crept behind him.He retreated further .

 

I held my breath when pakli climbed the roof to get hold of Ricci.

Syukur….both the kids got to safety.Thank you pakli.Love you.You are my superman.

muka inesen nina.

Day 3 –banjir updates

Its 1st April……hm April Fools Day.But I’m not into pulling pranks today.

Hujan pula disini.

By the way,air dah mula surut,dah nampak simen di porch rumah but tv  room is still under  water.Air dari rumah ni dah on the way to town and the sea.Minta minta tu air dari Timah Tasoh tak perlu dilepaskan lagi.

Heard over Radio 3: that Kangar town is  still in water and rising.That Sungai Baru in Simpang 4 which is never flooded is bracing the flood.Behor Goncar  ,Behor Pulai too.

Sometimes the path of the flood is unpredictable.Ada masa kami saja yang kena.Tapi kali ni orang dipersisiran pantai pun merasa.

Hmm,mamason terpaksa sehari lagi berperap kat rumah.Nak venture out,jalan jalan in and out of our perumahan still in deep water.Nampaknya orang pun tak pi kerja.Sunyi saja.

Sarapan pagi : roti + kuah gulai semalam + sardin tin.

Sedaaaap.

banjir di perlis – corat coret 1/4 2011

Its day 3 of the flood.

The whole day mamason is holed up in the house.Nak jijak air bah tu pun rasa geli geleman.Setiap kali kena randuk air,I make sure to wash them.

The tv room is still inundated.To make it worser ,siRicci/Nina pergi pula melepas atas couch.Adoi,sikit punya kerja nak basuh cover dia.

Bila banjir ni,rupanya selera makan lebih kuat.Sekejap sekejap lapar.For today’s menu I whipped up :

Kari ikan kering berkentang

Sayur tauge kicap dengan ayam.

Ikan selar kering goreng.

Thats what we ate for lunch and dinner.

Dont know whether tomorrow I would be able to get to work.Cikmerah tak tahulah nasibnya kerana di letak jauh dari rumah.But ciktam cikli ,cikli letak atas bump dekat rumah.Kelmarin dia puas berkeriau bila kunci cikli terkena air.Apalah nasib cikli,dia terpelecuk dalam lubang. Habis basah tuan dan barang barangnya …..I mean the wallet,the car key,the hp.Kesian dia.

Mamason kadang kadang kena jadi guru besar walau kat rumah.Ialah cikli minat betul dok meranduk air.Mamason bimbang kesihatan dia.Ada ke dia jalan dalam air dekat 2 km ke pekan Kangar.Just to get to his office.Thats stuff for my risauan.Tapi cikli tak risau pun.

Tentang adik adik berbulu tu,mamason tahu depa pun dah jemu terperuk kat rumah.Dell mamason tengok asyik dok panjat grill,dok jenguk ke luar.Nak keluar lah tu.Dan mereka pun lapar bukan main.Kalau dulu ikan kering tak kerling pun,tapi tadi Dell sambar ikan kering goreng.Grrrrrrrrrrr  memanjang bila mamason hampiri dia.

Dello meninjau air  diluar rumah.

Hope everything would return to normal soon.

Banjir di Perlis –31/3 news.

Had been hearing the updates from Radio 3 Kangar without fail.Since yesterday,it was our source of latest development.Mamason kept the radio on 24 hours.And had been following it diligently.

Latest development as at 10.11 31/3

-Kangar town inundated.

-All roads either closed or inaccessible to light vehicle .

-Timah Tasoh Dam opened all its 6 gates .Rivers in and around Kangar in red level warning.

-21 schools closed.

-The main road in front of my house is knee deep in water.

-the cats pee wee in the house.Tak sempat nak beli pasir .One is stranded on the roof .Crying for attention. Si Mok lah tu.

- could not go the school.Semalam pun dah cering bulu roma tengok sungai along the road to school.What happened to the houses by that river.Hope they are saved.Due to some unfinished construction in the river ( I presumed it was a gate of some sort) water could not flow downstream.Could see the strong force of current eating the bankment while next to it are a few houses. ….Arau/Spg 4 road.

-Geram betul ngok ngok yang bawa kereta laju laju jalan depan rumah.Tak ada hati perut langsung.Each time a vehicle pass by and di bawa laju laju ,air melimpah masuk rumah.

Sat lagi mamason nak ambil nombor kereta depa dan publish.Ada ke pula dok keluar masuk keluar masuk,bawa kereta macam F1.Dah penat suruh depa slow down.Nak tempik pun tak guna.

Why couldnt they have a bit of commonsense and empathy for people.

These people with MPV ,taking their wives and children makan angin.Gerammmmmmm.

Kalau nak tahu its not only me who is pissed off.In fact baru dengar orang bertempik  kat mamat bodoh tu.

WOOOOOI !!

Its the banjir once again.

Banjir datang lagi.Baru 4 bulan dan pengalaman November lalu masih terkesan dihati.Penat pun belum habis.Perabut yang senget benget kena air pun belum kering sepenuhnya.

Halfway at work,mamason bergegas balik.On the way,sungai dah hampir melimpah tebing.Everything was smooth until I came to the roundabout.Dan jalan nak masuk rumah dah tak nampak mana parit dan mana tebing. Terketar ketar pandu cikmerah melintasi air yang deras.Ist time mamason bawa kereta dalam air!

Sempat lagi singgah kedai.Roti ,sardin,lilin barang rebutan.Begitu juga telor…Pagi petang bertelor lah kita.

Oh ya, halaman rumah sudah digenangi.Cikli dan pembantu setia sibuk menongkat,menggangkat barang barang elektrik dan perabut perabut.

One thing,mujurlah mamason belum beli lagi perabot baru!Memang dalam perancangan.

Another thing yang funny about this banjir,Orang di Kuala Perlis pun kena.Selalunya tempat itu selamat.

Sejuk bukan main lagi .Tak ramai yang main main air kali ini.Dah jemu kot.Kalau dulu macam pesta.

Minta minta tu banjir kali ini tak payahlah masuk rumah.Letih!

Oh no,not another round ---- banjir datang lagi

 

It rained on Friday.It rained too on Saturday.And also on Sunday.

And today from early morning until late evening,the weather is gloomy,windy ,rainy.

Could see that the rivers and drains are nearly brimming .Driving home this afternoon,could help but felt a tad uneasy.

Alamak! Perlis macam nak banjir.

Oh no,not another round.

(as written at 8.00 pm)

 

Three hours later,tuning on to FM Perlis,news of flood affected areas were being read out.

Hmm familiar….TitiTinggi,Panggas,Pdg Besar,Kg Bakau inundated .

Sense of insecurity tonight.Timah Tasoh dam opened 6 gates.Ouch.

 

Sitting tight and ears all to the local radio . Harap tidaklah apa apa malam ini.Cikli pula sibuk pula dok survey banjir kat Bilik Gerakan.

Kena start moving things to higher place.Takut tak sempat.Bye.Oh ya…got to ask cikli to grab some candles and provisions.

Anyway ,kena wish happy b’day to my darling in KL….kot kot terlupa.

 

Nak tidur pun was was saja.Dia orang dok suruh kami berjaga jaga.Hujan lebat dijangka turun!

Got to go.Packing.Bye.
