~ di bumi ini ~

hari ni dlm minggu dpn dh bln Zulkaedah, dh habis raya. tp jika ada gk yg stil buat openhouse after rabu nextweek & dgn yakinnye g convince kwn2 yg "hey, it's still Shawal", hmmm... hrp maklum la ye, anda sbnrnye dtg openhouse bln Zulkaedah, hahaha. minggu ni dh 2 mlm ada indian visitors dtg beraya kt rumah i. 1 tu jiran dpn rumah and d other is my father's friend. on both nights the visitors dtg dgn souvenirs... jiran dpn rumah bg muruku, kwn ayh i bg small hamper. & dlm minggu ni gk i attended Hari Raya lunch organized by my vendor... & vendor i tu chinese.

sbnrnye nk citer apa ni? ok, jumaat lps adalah Hari Malaysia. jd, this entry is about me, reminiscing my childhood experiences as anak Malaysia. masa skolah rendah, i attended a primary school whereby malay, chinese, indian & punjabi mixed bersama2. sng ckp, kwn2 skolah i masa tu berbilang bangsa. cekgu klas i lk Chinese teacher, headmistress i is Indian. & disebabkn berada dlm keadaan berbilg bngsa since drjh 1 (bdk2 umur cmtu pd ketika tu x heran dgn dunia sekeliling & suka je nk explore mcm2), x pernah rs awkward pn nk speaking english dgn kwn2 berbilang bangsa ni. speaking english dgn kenkwn melayu pn bkn sesuatu yg pelik pd ketika tu. kalo dh drjh 1 speaking english, of course la sebutan pn byk yg salah, grammar apatah lg. most of d time pn ckp english versi rojak. tp, yg best coz xde sape pn gelakkan. in fact, my friends selalu jd cekgu x rasmi utk betulkn bila i sebut salah.

bila recess lk, sharing our food is not something yg pelik. masa rehat gk la nk main batu seremban (adakah layak dipggl BATU if dibuat dr kacang ijau or beras? masa tu cm x heran je baling2 beras, mmg sprti agak tidak bersyukur). sometimes main getah.... bkn baling2 getah masuk dlm tiang terpacak or amik getah & lastik org. tp main getah yg lompat2 tu... lompat paras buku lali, lutut, pinggang, bahu, kpale. sometimes main getah cina. hrp maaf, x tahu cmne nk explain cmne i main getah cina (& i wonder how we got the name getah cina). sape yg tahu how getah cina is played, bgs!!!

extra curricular activities kt skolah rendah cm menari/nyanyi/berlakon/main netball/galah pjg/etc2., semua melibatkn kwn2 bermcm2 kaum. masuk persembahan nyanyi, teacher yg ajr tu cikgu Cina, tp kna nyanyi lagu melayu. main netball, cikgu yg trained kitrg tu cikgu Melayu. apart from activities at school, my parents also sent me for other extra classes. i went for tuition classes on weekdays & drawing class on weekends. tusyen mlm dgn teacher india, tusyen ptg dgn teacher chinese, drawing class dgn cikgu melayu. mix habis dh tu.

so, i'm glad that bila dh bsr ni i can still experience kemeriahan rumah didatangi oleh family kaum india, or d warm welcome that i received by my chinese vendor when i attended the Hari Raya lunch organized by them. i will never get d same experience anywhere else on this earth. smoga i trus berbahagia mingle around people from various races di bumi Malaysia ni.
