of near misses

When we encounter a tragedy we used to think:

It might be me

It might be my children,my family or someone I know and love.

 

We might have seen our share of near misses.

Alhamdullilah. We came out unscathed

Recounting the near misses I couldnt help remembering these incidents.

• Not for the quick action of my friend I might be gone one day in Penang Road. I nearly lost my footing on the five foot pathway into the traffic.Again it happened in Kuala Lumpur.
• I was nearly drowned in a tempayan used to keep water.I was still a toddler.If not for the neighbour I would have tata to all.
• The gas was not properly turned off on two occasions.En Ley was the savior on these two occasions.If he had lighted his puff …….
• I had a shock when the bushes along the path to a school in Kuala Kubu Baru started shaking. Keling gila mana entah dok panggey .Apalagi start laghi  tercungap cungap sampai sekolah. Ha ambik lagi shortcut.
• When my pa was at his temper tantrum.I ran out of the house and hid in the chicken coop!Chicken shits .Who cares?
• Chased by Pak Chat Gila in Kulim back in the 60’s.Oghang gila sapa suruh dok acan?
• Tail gated by a reckless driver who wanted to get even all along the way to Kulim.The army lorry driver was annoyed because of not having his way to overtake.Nak belawan dgn lori askar.Apa la pakli ni.Lawan la dgn bulldozer ka,lori simen ka.
• That journey along the unpaved Grik Baling road when in fact it was closed to traffic.Awat tak baca road sign betui 2.
• Mak close shave with the kerosene stove.How the sheer woman took the burning stove and hurled it the ground.
• Me spanking a boy in a cinema.Well he deserved it and I was known as an anak dara cenghe. Sabit tu kawen lambat kut.

Well the list could go on and on.

Anyway, these episodes  are the spice of my life.Gives me lots to tell and lots to write.

 

Well semua ni betui belaka.Tak tipu aihhhh.

When the angel comes a calling

The news these past days were full of tragedies and untimely death.

The Kuala Dipang bridge tragedy claimed 3 school girls.

The waterfall in Kampar took the lives of three young college students.

Not so long ago a family lost 4 children in an accident at a canal.

Yesterday the news screamed : Just married for 3 hours and Teh Afifah Syahirah is a widow.

 

Mohd Ariff Abd Kadir is 23 when fate took his life as well as his parents and a friend.

I squirmed at the pictures of their totally wrecked car . Batu 7  Jalan Padang Besar is a frequented road on our way for a shopping trip to Pdg Besar. We had timeless times made our way there especially when the children are home.

Looking at the pictures of the mother I think I must have met her somewhere.She seems  familiar.

 

Again today tragedy seems not coming to an end.

In a fiery death,a widow loses yet another 2 of her children.

Oh life could be so cruel sometimes.

To the bereaved families,I too felt the loses they had lost. My condolences to them in their times of sorrow.

 

Dont we too have our near misses.I do. Not once but many.

teh afifah.

gulai tulang

Since I have a surplus of tulang from the Qurban I decided to cook something out of the fridge.
Nak masak mee kuah ke
nak masak bihun sup ke
or nak masak gulai tulang ke.
ha ha teringat masa kat Edinburgh,tulang selalu dapat free dari kedai tok arab.Sadaqah katanya.

Pak Ley dah membayangkan makan nasi gulai tulang dah lama dia mengidam.Nak pi beli memanglah boleh tapi nak rasa masak mak cik juga.
Tapi kalau masak gulai daging selalu kena complain. Tak macam tok ma masak.Tak merah!
So today I tried to make a red hot bone curry.
Tadddda.
There on the dining table were air asam,ikan goreng,sup sayur and red hot steaming gulai daging.
Sukses! My gulai is red!
