Balik Kampung

Maulidur Rasul falls on thursday last week and i decided to take the rest of the week off. it has been quite sometime since i took a day off. initially i wanted to go back to my 'kampung', my real kampung in KT, rindu kat kampung sebenarnya. but for such a short holiday rasanya tak berbaloi, terkejar2 sangat. yes we can take the flight tapi $$$ kurang mengizinkan.

finally, i decided to go back to hubby's kampung after many2 months avoiding going back there. rasanya maulidur rasul ni bawa cahaya kesedaran jugak kot kat menantu hantu sorang ni! and i'm so surprised that this time around takde rasa berat hati or anything of the sort. the kids were overwhelmed with the thought of going back to kampung. walaupun fahmi mulanya kata tak suka coz he said rumah atuk banyak katak but once we reached mil's house macam tak cukup tanah he & yaya chasing the chicks. yup, chasing the chicks was their favourite past times kat rumah mil. maklumlah rumah mil takde toys... so ayam jelah jadi mangsa.

walaupun mama diaorang ada sedikit masalah to fit in to the family, apparently the kids have no such problem. they went straight to capture their grandparents heart with their mischiefs & sifat 'mudah mesra' diaorang tu. i think they are probably the only two grandchildren yang berani ter'over' mesra dgn atuk & nenek. i never seen any of my nephew or niece panjat atas atuk, or usik2 kedut kat perut atuk or even dare to ask why muka nenek & atuk banyak bintik2 & kedut? mana ada cucu atuk yang berani kacau atuk tidur? cucu mana yang paling banyak berborak dengan nenek if not these two cucu anak aku? dan mana ada cucu yang berani kacau ibu ayam tengah mengeram telur pastu ambil telur tu baling atas lantai? this one really remind me of my own childhood. my two younger bros pernah bertapa dalam reban ayam nenek mengerjakan telur2 ayam sampai hancur semua. myself & my two bros juga pernah kejar anak2 ayam baru menetas & penyek dengan kayu umpama orang tumbuk padi tu. the only thing yg takde kat umah mil hanyalah kambing jer. sbb kami masa kecil pernah kejar kambing & panjat atas belakang dia. i don't dare to imagine fahmi & yaya doing exactly the same thing! regardless of whatever they were up to, obviously my mil & fil rasa terhibur & adore them so much.

dan hasil daripada chasing the chicks with a stick, yaya dapat luka kat jari akibat jatuh. i had to threatened them that i'd tie them to the mango tree depan rumah if they don't stop chasing the chicks, but budak berdua tu tak serik juga. it was a short trip. we came back home on friday coz fahmi had to attend his class on saturday. it would have been easy to skip his class and extend our stay but after 2 weeks off from the class i don't that would be a good idea. nanti makin malas pulak my boy ni.
