“我眼中的雅絲敏”

May Yasmin Ahmad RIP ...
YA 在25/07因中风去世了。。 每年過年過節必出現在電視上的馬石油廣告：印裔父子同慶國慶、華裔婆孫同慶新年、三大種族男童成“沙煲兄弟”，還有“LRT讓座位”國民意識廣告……這些感人、溫馨的廣告，都是出自雅絲敏之手。
我看過她執導的“單眼皮”電影(SEPET)，是很不錯的一部戲。

～約定～
＊劇情＊
鏡頭分別帶出老人日常生活的場景。一位老人爬上椅子準備把放在高處的箱子找針線縫補衣服，沒想到重心失衡，箱子翻倒在地。窗外突然傳來手按喇叭聲，一位老伯騎著腳車賣零食，也許是東西太多，他騎得有點搖晃。
喇叭聲吵醒一位正在睡覺的老婆婆，她看了一眼老伯吊在篱笆上的麵包，又繼續睡覺。
鏡頭轉到屋內一位老婆婆在洗假牙，兩位隔壁的小孩在她身邊玩耍，直到被母親牽走，老婆婆沉默的目送他們回家。響雷了，天黑了，小販老伯趕緊收拾東西，騎著腳車回家，在家裡，幾位老人在昏黃的燈光下一起吃榴槤共度除夕。

Makan-makan trip in Melaka

Date: 30 May 2009

This makan trip which I can conclude that “it was a craziest thing” I’ve never gone through in my life so far. Imagine that within 4 hours, we had tried 5 foods in 5 different locations….” Oh my god” this is crazeeeee huh! No jokes, it’s true!

At 3:30pm, I met up with them (Agnes, Su Gee, Eveline, Yoke Yeen, Sabrina , Casey , Koay, and Alvin) at “Hai Nam Chicken Rice Ball” shop at no other than Jonker Street’s one of the famous. They had just tasted their “balls” but no so good comment from the ladies. I didn’t eat any of it as I can see the balls weren’t in good “look” & the chicken as well. Without any delay, we headed on to “Egg Tart Shop”. OMG! More than 10 types of tarts got green tea, portuguese, conventional, durian, strawberry, coffee flavored and etc. We bought 9 pieces for supper tonight.

6:30pm, we off from the hotel to start our amazing race for the food as planned. First place, buy 9 pieces of layered cheesy cakes in “Nadeje”. A little intro, http://food.malaysiamostwanted.com/venues/nadeje-mille-crepe-plaza-mahkota-melaka-raya. For those who haven’t tried this before, PLEASE DO SO! It’s creamy, cheesy… it really melts in your mouth *yummmmy*. Believe me, IT IS DEFINITELY MUCH MORE NICER THAN THE “SECRET RECI**” no branch opened elsewhere except in Melaka! One and the only one

2nd place, Koay recommended us for “玻璃叉烧饭”(bo lei cha siu fan) in Taman Melaka Baru. We ordered some cha siu, siu yok, mui coi, curry, fish cake. The main dish is the cha siu, it is really tasty, sweet to taste (“fo hou”) in Cantonese, softy meat. Shop is not really observing if not really put on eye. Price is common and reasonable (can’t remember).

3rd place, “Asam Pedas”, it’s located right beside Batu Berendam’s Pasar Borong. There are many shops selling asam pedas, we hunt for the Chinese seller. Godsshh!! It is super spicy but taste good! The fish is fresh(很有口感). No saltish, but sour, mixed with a lot of vegetables. One word "GENG"!!!

4th place, “Xi Ham”. It’s located at most of the cars passes by town “Bunga Raya” because it is such an important road. This one lagi “geng”, must squat down and eat one at a small lorong!

Last one, “Satey Celok”. Most welcomed by the tourists from all over the places, nobody will miss it when they reach Melaka. It’s located at Jalan Ong Kim Wee, go for either one. Always, a need to “Q” for eating ~ I HATE IT!!! But no choice got to give face to them in fact I could excuse myself to go back home. I know I can come anytime I got back.
Ratings:
Winner: Asam Pedas
1st runner up: Cha Siu Fan
2nd runner up: Cheese cake

Meanings of friends

Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right. Forget about the ones who don't. Believe everything happens for a reason.. If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.Friends are like balloons; once you let them go, you might not get them back. Sometimes we get so busy with our own lives and problems that we may not even notice that we've let them fly away. Sometimes weare so caught up in who's right and who's wrong that we forget what's right and wrong.

婆婆走了。。。

六月二十七号上午12:25PM, 接到妈妈的来电,电话里只有妈妈的哭泣声,妈说婆婆走了。。这次是真的走了。。听到这个坏消息时 脑袋里呈现着我跟她的所有点点滴滴的回忆。我哭了。。真的好伤心。。婆婆活了92岁。陪伴了我26年,跟我们住在一起…离开了我们。。有点不舍得到今天还觉得她还活着是的。。

3点下午,我到了家,进去婆婆房间是,她是被盖着一片平时婆婆喜欢穿的沙笼。。姑姑拿开沙笼嚷我看婆婆,我哭泣了,无论如何都没办法唤醒婆婆。婆婆的面色很好,没有皱纹,一副很安祥的样子,带点微微笑,是我们从来都没看过的。。

通知了所有家人亲戚们回来,在婆婆还没放进”大屋”前都赶到。7点傍晚,大屋到了,和尚也到了,进棺前,爸爸,妈妈,姑姑,叔叔,大哥一个个帮婆婆抹身,穿上寿衣。

婆婆在我和我哥小时候就开始灌输道德观念,教道我们要如何尊敬长老,见到长辈要怎么称呼,要如何报答感恩别人,她让我体会到穷苦的感受,穷的来不给别人看扁等等。。。是婆婆让我上了宝贵的一课。。。这些是无人能够取代她的。。。婆婆很疼我,时常都买零食,煮好吃的。小学到中学都是婆婆叫醒我去上学,妈妈呢忙着去工作没什么时间。

婆婆最喜欢用古老的缝纫机缝搽脚布和百褶布被单。几乎每个人都有份。她总是去检碎布那来做,有时还到裁缝店跟人检碎布来俥,真那她没办法。婆婆很喜欢猫米狗狗,记得有一次她抱着一只小黄猫,当我伸手想要抱那只猫时,竟然它在婆婆手背上爪了一把,害到婆婆的手缝了好几只针。她一点痛都没喊出声。

七月一号,婆婆出殡了。我再也不能看到她了~ 安息吧~公公应该在天堂上等待23年了,终于俩人手唤手在一起。过着无忧无虑幸福的日子。
