Al Fatihah

this post is about my tribute to mak ngah, my mama's sista for those who are wondering

from left: mak tam, mak ngah, ermmm an aunt ahaha, ateh. Taken at Kakyu's wedding

• okey: in Negeri sembilan, "wan" is grandma. and grandpa is... i dunno ahahaha

i was at the Kuala Lumpur of langkawi yesterday wtf spending some time to inquire on cheap tax free DSLR. Checked on my phone, Mama misscalled me. That's weird. Mama just called 5 minutes ago.

" Adek, Mak Ngah dah meninggal"

I was like brought to a sudden shock. Because it was soooo sudden. I know Mak Ngah was ill due to old age. But, never thought it's gonna be this soon. The guilt of can't make it to the funeral to see Mak Ngah for the last time really haunt me. Just imagine last minute flight ticket purchase will be at least rm200. One way.

Mak Ngah is always a sweetheart. like you guys know, negeri sembilan people are more of a bad mouthies ahahhaha and i'm excluded ahaha. It was a total comparison of Wan and Mak Ngah, since Mak Ngah is more to the soft hearted side. Mak Ngah's house is literally ....... 5 metres aways from Wan's. When i was a kid, I thought Wan and Mak Ngah were friends ahaha. my brother thought so too. dumb ass ahaha.

I remember Mak Ngah and I had a small argument during my Sis's wedding. Argument between me and Mak Ngah is soo non existence. But it happened. Kinda weird actually. My refusal to wear formal baju melayu to Sis's wedding on the groom side has caused Mak Ngah quite a headache ahaha and she voiced out her opinion on me. Obviously I fired back, but in a toned down manner, coz she's forever nice to me. And I guess it was my last ever conversation with her.

Al Fatihah
