Selamat Hari Raye!!! Still in my Hari Raya Mode, it striked me to blog about an incident during this year's Hari Raye. Celebrating my second hari raye in Wellington, i had to call all my relatives. I called my mom who was in Tapah at the moment. Pretty clear, this year my mom won the battle. Anyways, after all the "selamat hari raye. mintak maaf sume salah silap", annual speech, i had to talk to the rest of my aunties and uncles. Suprisingly, all spoke in English and they were trying very hard to do so. I was stunned and replied back to them in Malay to prove my point : i can still converse in BM. Next waiting was my 76 years old grandmother.
Opah: Nisya, selamat hari raye. Maaf zaher batin.
Nisya: Selamat hari raye opah. Opah, sehat?
Opah: Goooddddddddd! You come Tapah? (ami, btol tak ape opah cakap, talking back to my little brother) (shouting from behind, ami said "btol" "btol"
Nisya: *Speechless* Managed to say "soon" after a twenty seconds pause.
Opah: Gooodddddddd!!!!!!!! I love you..Come Tapah!
Nisya: *Teary eyes*
I shed my tears for two things; One is because of my grandmother's effort to talk to me in English which proves how much she loves me. Second, Ami's English is so rotten that he will need some intensive English grammar course with his kakak when she gets back to Malaysia!! Talking about cari pasal, kan Ami?
