Salam to all........
It is Friday today, nini Muara kena admit lagi ke hospital kemarin. Actually nini dibawa Aunty Nab ke hospital untuk review but the Doc said that nini punya bp was very low and he lacked water (dehydrated). So kena observe di A&E but after a few hours the Doc said nini has to be admitted for further observation. Earlier we all planned to have a doa selamat for nini kena keluarkan dari hospital and tahlil doa haul for awrah Nini bini Muara. The earlier posted photos show the function at rumah Aunty Nab. As the photos show the function went on smoothly with Uncle Mohammad being the imam and at the end we had the solat hajat. After the makan, most of us went to see nini di hospital coz Chu Ai informed us that nini was getting more restless and weaker.... but alhamdulillah... when we went there, nini was given pain killer and was asleep and just now Aunty Nab just sms babu and she said that nini is more stable now.
For those of you who missed nini bini Muara....... Nini bini Muara (named Dayang Hajah Besar binti Awang Tengah- eldest of 5 siblings.... Nini, Nini angah, Nini Iring, Zubaidah (passed away when she was very-very young during the Japanese occupation and Nini bungsu Manggis. Now all of them except for Nini bungsu manggis have passed away (Al-Fatihah....) Nini bini Muara passed away on 18 July 1994 (9 Safar 1415 hijrah) after a week of coma due to brain hamerorrage. It was very sudden when she suddently fainted just after she watered her flowers around rumah Aunty Nab which were mostly bouganvilla. She slumped di dapor but managed to makan ubat (panadol?) but fainted soon after that. Luckily ada Aunty Salmah and an ambulance from Muara MRS was called to take her to the hospital. At that time we were staying at Madewaa and Aunty Nab called babu and so we rushed to the hospital. But nini never regain consiousness... It was a Monday afternoon and she passed away pun Monday around Asar time. Masa nini pengsan atu, nini was actually buat kueh Serimuka and her kueh was still dalam kukusan. It was her habit to make at least one kueh per day for breakfast and the rest she would bagi-bagi to whoever anak-anaknya yang datang Muara or she would bring it to her canteen di Sek Rendah Serasa and shared with the cooks at Serasa school. She would always be remembered for her good deed atu by her friends at Serasa. Al-fatihah...........
Actually nini bini at that time was looking after nini laki because it was nini laki who got unwell first. Nini laki got a stroke in 1993 and so he was semi paralysed. At the same time nini bini jaga canteennya di Sek Serasa with Chu Ai and Aunty Sal... even the morning before she collapsed, she was still with Aunty Sal di canteen and she even talked to Aunty Sal hoping for her good health so that she could look after nini laki.... but fate.... qada and qadar..... Ia tah masa nini berkantin di sekolah atu, babu purposely chose to supervise my TP students di Sek Serasa so that I will have the chance to lepak di kantin nini kajap before or after the lesson.... he, he...
Actually the week masa nini bini meninggal atu, we (bapa, babu, kaka, abang , Izyan and Jilah minus Afan as he was still in babu's tummy) were supposed to go to Singapore for a holiday... but we had to cancell the trip and the tickets were reimbursed with some deduction.... inda apa.... The Sunday before nini collapsed we went to see her since it would be the last Sunday before we were supposed to leave for Singapore... but when we were about to leave her, we had a feeling that she was quite reluctant to let us go... she said "minggu dapan inda tah kamu ada ni ah......" which in reality ia pulang yang inda ada....... BTW, it was babu's first time ikut kekubur and witnessed the burial of nini Bini... so sad.... and nini passed away at the age of 71 (1923-1994). So to all of you.... if you happen to pass the kubur Serai Pimping.... please beri salam to nini bini and all the ahlil kubur there.
Well nini bini was such a very strong woman, being the eldest she did not go to school as she was given the responsibility look after her younger siblings as her mother was planting padi. Her father passed away when nini bungsu Manggis was only 5 years old and her mother passed away in the 1940s i.e during the Japanese occupation and she was stranded in Lawas-she went to Lawas by boat for family affairs - and was dead because of the Malaria disease. Why babu said nini is strong is because she could bear to have 10 children in a span of 21 years... (Tua, the eldest was born in 1946, Uncle Imran 1948, Aunty Yam 1950, Uncle Japar 1952, Uncle Mail 1954, Aunty Nab 1956, Aunty Salmah 1958, Babu 1959, Pa Mid 1962 and Chu Ai 1967).... oh well... babu still remember the day Chu Ai was born... it was a special holiday for Aunty Salmah and babu... hu, hu.... inda payah sekolah... Babu still remember when one day nini bini shared her wish to see babu to have 10 children like her... oh no!! sorry.... having 5 ani pun now a dot, dot, dot... hu hu... no offence!! At that time, life was not easy.... nini laki (being inda mau jadi Cikgu when he completed his Primary 5) ended up doing hard job like perintis jalan and watchman and a part time fisherman. No wonder abang is now after nini.... loves to go fishing... Nini does not drive, ia keraja ikut lorry JKR and for other errands he used his basikal tua and a rowing boat.
In the 1960-70s, gaji nini laki was only a mere $100.00 but he had 13 mouths to feed including nini babu (nini laki's mum). But at that time, if babu inda salah Tua laki was already keraja (custom Officer) and Aunty Yam was oversea (Johor) and Uncle Imran, Uncle Japar and Uncle Mail were staying at the hostel.... so left aunty nab, aunty Salmah, babu, Pa Mid and Chu Ai saja di rumah. But babu still rember with his 100 bucks atu, he managed to buy for nini bini a SINGER sewing machine at an intallment of $10 per month and the machine cost like $120.00. Sian.... nini bini needed the machine coz she made all our baju like baju raya or school uniform sendiri including our seluar dalam, he, he... which we used to call "seluar katak" what? the frogs' panties? he he....
Well....... if babu kan cerita banyak lagi ni kisah-kisah kehidupan kami dulu-dulu atu... but I will keep it for next time........ Things like life at Serasa without electricity and proper water supply... mandi pakai air perigi (telaga), kami angkut air untuk cuci piring.... how we made saluran paip sendiri (nini invented it using washing basin placed on a higher stand... joined with a long hose and eventually reached the big drum near the tangga rumah....), how we spent our Fridays and Sundays, cleaning the bawah rumah... and mend the drainage system manually, cabut rumput sundal, raut daun lidi untuk buat penyapu... so on and so forth.....
BTW.... Aqil has been in Serasa since Monday nite but later today, he will go to Rimba.... nomadic Aqil!! C cute and enchem boy!!!
BTW on other activities today.... bapa left home for KB function maybe around 6.00am... babu inda sedar when he left... and babu had a Friday class from 8 till 10.30 am, Jilah had her tuition class till 12noon. When babu reached home with Jilah, bapa was already home. Babu checked if Aqil udah bangun but not yet.... We could only get hold of him after the Jumaat prayer and Aqil pakai baju Mickey baby yang kaka bought di Hong Kong.
Well....... till my next post, take care every body and feel free to update on whatever stuff you feel like to share..... Wassalam.........
