ICE SKATING DENGAN ANAK JIRAN

Erm, cerita ini berlaku sekitar musim cuti sekolah yang lalu. Anak-anak jiran aku selalu lah dok bagi salam "Assalamualaikum Kak Ain". Maaf kan akak Ain ~~kadang~~ bukan kadang tapi dah jarang berkesempatan untuk meluangkan masa bersama mereka. Maafkan Kak Ain yer! (disclaimer : incase you all read this) I'm sure they are going to read my blog. Hahaha.

So, macam mana boleh terlepas sampai ke Ice Skating di Paradigm Mall Johor Bahru? Cerita nya sepatutnya diorang nak ke Karnival Jland sebabnya ada hot balloon yang diadakan di Bandar Dato Onn. Malangnya, kami pergi pun pada hari terakhir. So banyak aktiviti dah tak ada.

Pandai diorang bagi surat cinta dekat Kak Ain ehk

Dah nama pun berjalan dengan budak sekolah, dengan panasnya lagi terus kitorang masuk ke AEON JUSCO Bandar Dato Onn. Pusing-pusing macam tak ada apa dan aku terfikir tak kan la nak terus balik ke rumah. Lantas yang bermain di fikiran aku ialah Paradigm Mall Johor Bahru. Ini kerana tempat tu je la interesting dan full of entertainment bagi kanak-kanak. Ceh, aku pun sebenarnya memang paling suka pergi ke sini. Hahaha.

Sampai je kami terus ke Pizza Hut dulu mencekik. Sebab kak Ain diorang ni tak makan apa lagi waktu tu. Kitorang order set yang siap ada aiskrim. Set tu memang lengkap untuk semua orang merasa. Alhamdulilah, memang kenyang!

Play time..

Nampak diorang dah pandai balance kan badan

Lepastu, apalagi Ice Skating lah. Mula-mula tengok harga mak oi, fikir dua tiga kali juga. Diorang memang bawa duit sendiri. Mahal sedikit sebab school holiday kan. Dah masuk dan tolong bayarkan di kaunter, maka nya its time for them to enjoy their day! Mula-mula diorang hampir give up sebab tak dapat balance kan badan. Asyik terjatuh je dan bermain di tepi je.

Lama-kelamaan diorang dah semakin berani ke tengah. Walaupun jatuh banyak kali, tapi semangat diorang yang tak pernah give up tu harus dipuji! Berapa jam ehk diorang lepas geram? Berjam-jam juga tu. Hahaha.

Farisya!

Syira

So far memang nampak diorang enjoy sampai nak ajak Kak Ain teman lagi kesini keesokkan harinya.*Tepuk dahi! Hahaha.

Beginilah seorang AIN..Semua nak di Pink kan! HAHAHA

Pstt: Bersidang 3 hari 2 malam di rumah blogger Sis Lin. Saja tanya , apa warna kegemaran korang?

Baju kurung tuh lah yang aku pakai kancing kain nya pernah tercabut. Hahaha

PEREMPUAN TAK PANDAI MENJAHIT

Semalam sambil aku menggosok baju kurung , tetiba aku rasa macam nak pakai baju kurung gais! Sebabnya sayang tengok baju kurung jarang-jarang pakai bila ke mana-mana event. Anyway sambil aku tengah menggosok baju tu, something captured in my mind.

Aku terus senyum sorang-sorang. Gais, aku sebenarnya perempuan yang tak pandai menjahit. Hahaha. Padahal dulu masa sekolah ambil course Ekonomi Rumah Tangga masa subjek Kemahiran Hidup. Oh pembetulan , aku tak nak pun tapi dah kelas aku kena belajar subjek tu, maka hati ini pasrah sahaja. Kenapa tetiba aku nak confess ni?

Sebabnya kain baju kurung yang aku tengah gosok waktu tu dia punya kancing pernah terbukak. Aku rasa tension betul waktu tu. Dah aku memang tak pandai menjahit. Haram aku nak ingat jenis-jenis jahitan yang aku belajar semua tak masuk kepala otak weh. Hahaha. Pastu masa kancing kain ni terbukak, aku cakap dekat abang aku nak mintak dia teman pergi kedai makcik cina tolong jahitkan.

Sudahnya, abang aku yang tolong jahitkan. Hahaha. Yer, dia yang tolong jahitkan. Jenis jahitan apa tu jangan ditanya la. Haram aku tak tahu. Bukan itu sahaja, aku teringat masa belajar subjek ERT kena siapkan jahitan apa kebenda kelim entah. Aku dengan relaks nya meminta bantuan kawan baik aku iaitu Mye.

Siapa dia? Dia la yang muncul dalam cerita Kisah Seorang Pengawas dan rakan-rakannya. Terima kasih la kepada dia. Mye yang tolong siapkan kerja sekolah tu. Aku ingat sampai sekarang. sebab apa? TAK KANTOI! Tak kantoi langsung dengan cikgu waktu tu. Hahaha. Selepas aku dah mintak tolong Mye , aku belanja la dia sepinggan nasi ayam. Hahaha.

Kelakar pula kalau teringat kisah zaman sekolah ni. Yer, saya masih lagi perempuan yang tak pandai menjahit. Mungkin di satu hari nanti aku mendapat hidayah! Nak belajar menjahit tengok dekat Youtube. Hahaha.

Ceh, jangan nak gelak sangat.. korang tu pandai ke menjahit? Kihkihkihkih.

AKU AIN & JDT BLOGGER -4

Selepas aku mengenali Kak Mia Liana di Pulai Springs Resort , kami mendapat jemputan pula di Swiss Inn Hotel. Siapakah blogger seterusnya yang aku kenal?

Dia lah Si Nona manis. Pemilik blog nonasani.blogspot.com . Seorang yang easy going cuma blur dia boleh tahan jugak. Ceh, aku pun blur jugak ngata orang pulak kan. Nona ni jenis macam tak kisah pun jalan sorang-sorang , makan sorang-sorang. Hahaha. Aku tengok dia ni banyak dengan dunia dia yang tersendiri je.

Macam mana aku boleh kenal dia? Masa dekat Swiss Inn Hotel tu, aku first time la nampak dan jumpa dia. Sebabnya masa dekat dua pertemuan sebelum nya, dia tak ada. So, masa dekat Swiss Inn tu aku ingat dia sebab dia tegur aku masa dekat surau. Macam biasa la, perempuan kalau time solat mesti tunggu giliran nak pakai telekung.Masa tu la kitorang berborak.

Nona tu yang dekat belakang berdiri di tengah-tengah.

Nona tanya macam mana nak pergi next event kitorang dekat Pontian. Aku dalam hati "peramah jugak budak ni". Aku ni mati-mati ingat dia lagi tua dari aku. Sorry Nona! Tapi bila aku dah baca blog dia baru ler aku tahu yang dia muda dua tahun dari aku. Lepas borak-borak tu nyempat dia tanya "kau nak sambung makan lagi ke pasni?" Hahaha. Aku pun jawab sambil gelak "Haah sambung ler sampai kenyang!". Hahaha.

Itu la first time aku kenal Nona! Korang dah tengok blog dia? Cepat tengok sekarang..Kalau yang terlepas episod cerita Aku Ain & JDT Blogger ni.. Boleh tekan sini ..Dah episod empat dah ni.. Persoalannya, bila tahun aku kenal dengan Sis Lin dan Kak Sunah ? Hahahaha.. Nantikan

sorry Nona , gambar kau tak banyak pulak dalam laptop aku. Hahaha.

Nasi Goreng Seafood Tepayaki PEDAS

Hari ni kepenatan sedikit sebenarnya cadang nak masak nasi lemak ayam , dah siap-siap keluarkan ayam dah dari peti ais. Tetapi, dihimpit perasaan yang malas katanya! Hahaha. Lalu, selepas magrib apa lagi bergerak la keluar mencari makanan.

Ingatkan nak makan nasi ayam penyet tempat biasa, tapi tak bukak pulak. Malas nak pergi cari makan jauh-jauh , pergi jelah yang dekat dengan rumah. Haa, order lah Nasi Goreng Seafood Tepayaki ni. Semestinya , pedas untuk aku.

Aku ni gila pedas sedikit. Habis cili padi tu aku tabur semua atas nasi. Sepinggan berharga RM 7. Sambil melayan whatsapp di telefon, mata aku terpandang cara dia masak. Oohh , baru aku tahu kenapa berharga sampai RM7. Tukang masaknya masak dua kali untuk satu hidangan ni.

Pertama dia siapkan nasi dan kedua dia masak pula segala seafoodnya. Oh, memang berbaloi lah dengan harga gitu. Kenyang Alhamdulilah. Aku minum air suam je. Aku makan ni dekat Bandar Baru Uda ,Johor Bahru je. Sederet dengan Pasar Mini Q&Q.

Sekian laporan berita untuk #ainkunyahtelan

Sorry , gambar tengah cakap tepon tak de cuma yang ade gambar tengah tangkap gambar makanan. Hahaha

PANGGILAN YANG PALING DIRINDUI

Aku pernah ternampak Kak Sunah bercakap telefon dengan mak nya , aku ternampak Sis Lin membalas whatsapp anak nya , anak nya cakap "I feel so sad. wanna hug you". Sis Lin terus menelefon anaknya. Aku? Mampu melihat sambil tersenyum. Namun jauh dari dalam sudut hati kecil aku tersimpan rasa itu.

"Ibu Yang Tersayang"

Aku save nombor telefon itu di contact aku. Sungguh , panggilan ini yang paling aku rindui. Sangat rindui! Sebab dulu hari-hari aku dapat panggilan ini. Tengok dalam list call memang panggilan ini wajib tersenarai.

Ini cerita zaman lepas, bukan niat untuk ditangisi. Tapi sebagai kenangan yang aku terdetik mahu diabadikan di diari online ku ini. Aku belajar jauh dulu. Setiap hari , panggilan ini mesti ada. Walaupun hanya beberapa minit. Walaupun hanya sepatah dua. Dia selalu tak henti menghubungi aku.

"Ain dah makan?" , "Ain tengah buat ape?"

As simple as that , itu sudah mampu membuat hari aku ceria. Itu sudah mampu menambah energi hari-hari aku. Gila kan?

"Bila last korang call ibu korang?"

Jangan jadi macam aku.. Aku tetap tak akan dapat panggilan itu lagi.. Kerana dia sudah lama pergi meninggalkan aku. Sekali lagi aku tanya,

"Bila kali terakhir korang tepon mak korang?"

I love you Ibu, You're always in my heart.
