BABU ♥ AQIL BLOG

We started the day very early. Woke up at 5 am and banguni bapa, Afan and Faiz. The boys had to be in school by 7 am and to be transported to the stadium by bus. Bapa sasak (he, he.... as usual) because traffic jam kan masuk stadium. After much hurdle and the illegal taking over, we managed to reach the stadium around 7 am. Bapa joined his group for the baris next to the De Anggerek Apartment while babu got seated arah jemutan but sorang-sorang. Our seat numbers were 120 and 121. Initially it was a cool morning but as time reached 9 am... adui... panas tia and since most of the upper seats were still vacant, most of us the front seaters moved up coz it was more shady there. The processions started at around 9.30am with Abang Munir led the Oath readers group. Wow!!!! siuk eh.... abang Munir baca Ikrar ah.... with semangat, loud and clear.... sampai the lady seated next to babu atu was emotional and broke her tears..... (for a reason that she shared with babu....). Then came bapa punya team bebaris which cousins said bapa lamah..... (inda jua........). Afan took part in the field performance, he was in the created giant kris and the gangsa. He really enjoyed the excitement in the show coz that was his first experience taking part in the ND activities coz masa di private schools inda pernah kena bawa.

Babu still remember the first ND in Feb 1984. Babu was in charge of my SMJA students doing the flash cards performance and bapa was on duty jua. At that time it was only kaka (still siblingless.......). Life at that time was with no maid... So when bapa and babu were on duty, it was nini laki Muara yang baby sit kaka (including beri makan and cuci after poopoo... yuck!!). Sekali apa nah.... when babu reached home after the event, kaka was already fed by nini and salin baju.... but babu couldn't help laughing when babu saw how nini fixed baju kaka..... tebalik..... the micky mouse cartoon design was di belakang and the dress buttons were infront. Sian kaka.... pakai baju tebalik. Any way... that was a good deed given by nini laki Muara to babu or other wise kaka had to be sent to nini angah's house in Manggis.

Ok... back to 23 Feb 2009.... after the ND events at the stadium... rehat kajap... and at 1.30pm bapa jalan lagi to attend the Brunei sate Guiness Book of Record for the most banyak sate produced at one time (some 75000 cucuk from 1184 kg ayam, i.e 800 chickens). The function was held at JPPC. So bapa attended to collect on behalf of the anak yatim and fakir miskin from KB. Babu went to fetch Jilah from Hanis's house in Jerudong, went to Giant kajap but there was an incident happened (only Jilah and babu knew....), then went to see the cry baby Aqil at Rimba, went to see nini at RIPAS before dropping Jilah for her Chem tuition lagi. While nunggu Jilah, babu went to Jame for the Asar and Magrib prayers and dropped by the pasar malam to buy the Gerai 62 pulut panggang and bapa and Izyan's favourite... kueh Malaya... (sia-sia pun Izyan).

Ok.... that's all the update for today and enjoy the ND photos below.... taken from Brunei Infofoto Gallery.
