This year, abah turns 59 years old.
He's now a retiree, but he's still active doing this and that, like mama said 'xreti duduk diam'.
My mama was kind of envy for the theory that abah's now so relax, no need to think about work, everyday is holiday (sepatutnyalah) :P But, it turns out that my abah yang lagi busy dari mama yang still teaching tu. After Subh prayer, jogging seround dekat padang terbang, then pegi kebun. Petang-petang pulak, with his friends maintaining their leech pond. Few times, he invited me to check his leeches.. hehe.. terpaksa achik menolaknya sebab tatuuuuutttttt!!! mama yang tulang belakang abah pun belum penah tgk lagi. kekekeekek.
That's my abah. Selagi ada tenaga, selagi tulah dia akan buat macam-macam. Sometimes, while everyone's watching tv, we heard ketang-ketung from the back of our house. Ade je yang abah akan baiki. Tetiba kang dah je ade pondok kat belakang rumah. Hehe. Tetiba kang, reban ayam dah direnovate. Hehehehe.
I think abah's experiences working over 30 years in FELDA before, contribute a lot to his current activeness. Yes Tuan-Tuan dan Puan-Puan, i have grown up in FELDA and i never feel shame of it. Abah managed one of the estate. Best tau sebenarnya, budak-budak bandar pegi Sunway Lagoon, abah pulak bawak kitorang pegi 'sawit lagoon'. Hahahaa. Dah cukup happy dah. Kadang-kadang, petang lepas sekolah agama, abah bawak kami naik motor pegi melawat ladang getah peneroka2, pegi tengok lembu, pegi jumpa peneroka2. Mase tu kami glamer dengan panggilan 'anak-anak aunty & uncle'. Owh, i miss those times a lot!!
Some people, when they heard FELDA, they cried, 'eeeeeuuuuuu!!!!', almaklumla pendalaman. Some will start to imagine budak-budak rosak akhlakla, mat rempitla. Memang ada pun sebenonyer. I still remember ade sorang makcik ni datang nangis2 dekat rumah kami minta tolong abah jangan bagi Polis tangkap anak sulung dia sebab dadah. His son masa tu baru 15 tau. Kesian sangat tgk makcik tu. Suami dah xde, son dia tulah yg hari-hari tolong dia menoreh getah. Dia ada 6 anak lagi nak tanggung. Tapi nak buat macamana, that's actually the only way to help his son. Sebelum keadaan jadi lebih teruk lagi. Nangis-nangis makcik tu. Huhu.
But not everyone from there yang ketinggalan. There're a lot of them who are now succeed in the fields. Maybe adela kut 1,2 yang xmo mengaku or lupa. But not me, i am very proud to call myself "Anak FELDA" :) Wah!!! semangat Merdeka Sungguh. Hihi
Oh Oh.. berbalik pada citer abah yang rajin. Since abah retired, he has a new hobby. For me, it is such an interesting hobby. I am so amazed with what he's been doing at his leisure.
Presenting, newspaper products made 100% by my abah. Managed to captured them masa last week balik kampung. :) Kreatifkan? Abah told us that he's thinking of making 'dulang2 hantaran' from the same sources untuk my bro wedding end of this year. Rasa terharu sangat.
Hmm.. Ramadhan dah dekat. Teringat pulak masa kecik-kecik, abah woke US up for sahur after he prepared everything on the table. 'us' di ditu termasuk my mama ye. hehehehe. Abah sangat rajin tolong isteri. Baju sekolah anak-anak dulu pun, abah yang ironkan. Untungnya mama. Saaayang abah!!!!!
Encik Mohd Armi kalau baca ni sure tercabar punya. Kidd mesti berkobar-kobar gak nak masakkan sahur untuk Bi ngan Oman kan?? :P
Ok per Kidd... later, when Oman dah besar, when he has his own blog, he is for sure blogging about how fortunate is he & his momma to have a dadda like you. Baik Kidd buat. Kekekekeek
