Ati gaga amat ngingat ka diri ka betemu enggau apai indai, bala menyadi enggau sida ipar. Tang ma ngenang ka ngemas sida beg lembau endar tulang. Barang ti ka dibai pulai ka Miri alu bedau di kemas!
Ujung minggu tu ila, sida entua aku bisi ka datai. Sebedau sida datai tentu lah rumah mesti dikemas dulu ... sida bilik mandi dituchi, bilik tinduk dikemas. Bilik mandi dikena bala anak, amat enda temu gamal .. bekerak, ni bala ayam sebelah bilik mandi!
Lebih setahun sida anak enda dibai nepan bilun. Enda aku nemu ulah saduai ila. Sebedau mupok aku udah stress diri ngenang ngintu saduai iya. Ka laki nya pedis .. iya ga bansa ka enggai jenuh, rindu "ngeluyar" orang. Endang begagai meh kami ila sebelah bilun!
Rindu asai ati ka shopping ba KL ila! Heheh, aku ka ke Petaling Street, ngiga marik batu dibai orang ari Nepal. Rega batu ti dijual pen umbas iya ga.
Udah kami ba KL kami alu ka Kuching. Bala kaban ba Kuching apin kala betemu enggau sida anak aku, nya meh ka mai sida ka Kuching. Siko uncle aku ba Kuching dia enda kala betemu enggau Doug, nya lah ka ngetu ba Kuching sekali tu.
Gagit endar ati ngingat ka pemakai ba Malaysia din. Tengok endar. Taja diri empu nemu berapi lauk dempa kitai orang Malaysia tang enda meh senyamai pandok orang bukai! Heheh.
Kami menyanak angkat ari California kena 4 October, pukul 1.30 pagi. Akai, tetap cranky bala anak jam nya ila!
KL, Kuching, Miri, here we come! :-)
Beading, quilting...not very different from weaving the pua. You are carrying on a centuries old tradition that your great-grandmothers and those before them would be very proud of. It's in our blood.
ReplyDeleteAnd to your question...YES. Of course I remember Miri (St. Columba's) and Lutong (Good Shepherd) still. :-)
Agi ingat ka alto part nuan, wai? :-)
ReplyDeleteAnang enda aja ingat alto parts for the carols! Hehehe, it has been a long time since I sang in a choir. Ditu too many talented people in church, so malu lah nganjong "talent" ti semadi nadai.
ReplyDeleteYes, indeed, beading, quilting, weaving is in our blood! I wish I knew how to weave though .. maybe something to pick up in the future. I am very, very passionate about quilting and beading! Heheh.
It is wonderful to meet you again, Vernon, after all these years, even if the meeting place is cyberspace!
Selamat pulai/nemuai ke menoa meh wai. Amat pedis pala & binggong meh bejalai bebai ka anak mit....
