“…bertujuan menghargai penglibatan peneroka dalam pengeluaran komoditi sawit dan getah negara selain membantu perbelanjaan peneroka menyambut Hari Raya.”

Saya anak peneroka!!

Facts of the matter are:
My next door neighbour at kampong – pagar baru, tembok batu (dengar cite pun nak sambar kancil satu!)
Jiran kat hujung simpang nun – baiki rumah, ada bahagian rumah atas (lantai kayu) dijadikan bawah (lantai simen)
Jiran selang dua buah rumah belah kanan – sambung rumah, tambah bilik
My sis reported that many peneroka are taking delivery of new cars – some cars just remain in the garage tunggu anak2 balik
Yg kojo kilang pun tak saba2 nak menoreh – Klu shift mlm, menoreh pagi. Klu shift petang, pun menoreh pagi. Klu shift pagi, toreh petang. Sume boleh…

Wedding gift update – Supper with the bride:
Time – late last nite. At least the couple had their supper while I enjoyed going through the wedding photo album.
Remember the big pressie aka rice cooker? She got 2 of them on the bride side & one on the groom side. How many rice cooker one needs anyway? Not counting the numerous clocks, table lamps (& Idham’s lampshades LOL), mixer/blender, set of jug & tumblers & so forth.
The husband told me that there was this one really big and heavy pressie – in a big box. Turns out after much unwrapping – a 10kg packet of rice!! (That’s cruel is it?)
However, the wife said that’s considered good since rice symbolizes rezeki (prosperity)…same thing with lesung & alu (mortar & pestle) I guess!
Most memorable for them was the fact that the groom cried right after the solemnization ceremony – they managed to capture it on the videocam! I asked why? He said, “…rasa terharu sebab tercapai hajat/cita2 untuk kawin dengan si dia pada tahun ini…”
Awwwwhhhh! That’s so sweet right? Usually only the bride or parents of the bride/groom that cry openly especially if one of the parents was not around anymore. For me, that kind of sensitivity is good. My father was the crying type too but on special occasion lah.
My friend likes the perfume –she’s even putting it on then!
