part 6 #mamak: wedding~

hmm.. ini adalah kesinambungan kisah dari entry mamak part 4:
yg itu adalah cerita majlis pertunangan yang gilang gemilang...
dan ini pula cerita majlis perkahwinan yang meriah jugak la...
aku cuma nak kongsi gambar ni je...
kalau ikut style mamak... most of them memilih gaun dan kot sebagai pakaian di hari persandingan mereka.. nak tahu kenapa? biasanya mereka mengadakan kenduri di dewan.. sso, memang kena dan cantik sangat la bila pakai pakaian sebegitu, kan.. takkan nak pakai gaun kat rumah pulak..?
so, inilah dafi yang aku sebut2 tu.. heheh...

PART4#MAMAK: ENGAGEMENT PARTY

kali ni.. entry aku berkisar tentang majlis pertunangan one of my in law's relative. kira anak buah biras aku la..

sepatutnya, aku ikut rombongan meminang.. malangnya ada perkara yang tak dapat dielakkan.. kami sekeluarga cancel ikut pada awal pagi.. so, kitorang pergi lunch je kat sana.

sepanjang perjalanan kami, hujan turun dengan lebatnya. dalam hati dok pikir jugak.. cemana la majlis tu? dengarnya perancangan bagai nak rak! tak tau la apa yang jadi..

Then, sampai sana kami disambut tuan rumah dengan penuh gumbira. kami terus dijemput menjamah makanan yang sememangnya macam kenduri kawin pulak.. ada kurma kambing *hidangan wajib bagi golongan mamak* ayam ros, timun berkuah kacang, nasi ada 2 macam, kuah dalca.. wal'lah sodap!! uol nak tahu catering mana? 'umi sekha catering' 1 of the famous caterer in penang. lauk memang A+!! makan sampai kenyang.

tengah aku sibuk dok perabih saki baki lauk kat pinggan aku tu, mami n mami Fatimah pula sibuk perkenalkan kami dengan keluarga n orang2 yang ada kat sekitar meja makan kami. terutamanya keluarga sebelah pengantin lelaki *mapley*. aku.. dengar je..

pas tu, mami ajak aku masuk ke dalam rumah. on the way tu, jumpa sorang pompuan.
mami: ha.. ni la *ponnu.. *pengantin pompuan
aku: oo... hai..
pompuan tu: (senyum)
mami: eh! bukan.. ni isteri Putera..
aku: (sengeh) ohh..

memang menjadi kegemaran mereka memakai pakaian yang lip lap lip lap and very glam.. tambah pulak dgn accessory emas.. kalah pengantin..!!

masuk kat dalam rumah..
waa... ternganga jugak mulut aku bila tengok ponnu yang dok kat pelaminan tu.. sangat santek... santek.. santek.. tak de perkataan lain dah.. tetiba tangan aku ditarik oleh biras aku. "Meh suap gula kat ponnu.." aku pon ikut jer.. suap sikit..

suap gula means ahli keluarga kedua pihak menyuap gula ke dalam mulut kedua mempelai *betul ke mempelai.. baru bertunang.?* yerrr... gula..!! *heheh.. pasneh potong kaki la jawabnya..* adat ni simbol kemanisan zaman pertunangan.. bicara yg manis-manis belaka agar tidak berlaku pertengkaran yang boleh menyebabkan putusnya tali pertunangan..

yang aku terpegun tu.. baju dier.. lawa-santek-cute-comey-gorgeos giler!! baju lengga.. ala-ala bollywood gitu!! warna ijau.. penoh dengan accessory pelamin pon cantek!! macam aisywarya rai pon ada..




lagi satu kejutan.. mampley dia.. wah!! handsome nyer.. pakai ala-ala shahrukh khan pulak.. punjabi sut! warna putih silver.. kalau korang kenal dafi.. memang sejibik! hidung dia yang mancong.. bulu mata lentik dan kuyu.. wah.. manis.. memang padan la..
itu baru bertunang.. kalau kenduri kawen.. lagi gempak la..

si prempuan anak tokey kedai printing.. si lelaki pewaris dan pemilik kilang roti..
caner? sama padan la.. orang berada..
*itu pun ada masalah jugak~*

ni nak citer pasal orang kat sekeliling pengantin pulak.. oleh kerna bakal pengantin tu lawa sangat.. sibuk la mak-mak dara nak bergambar.. aku pon ter join sekaki.. hahahaha.. malangnya tak de saper nak shoot guna phone cam aku.. tak leh la nak share ngan korang.

ni je gambar yg aku boleh share...






gelap pulak gambar ni...

PART 3# MAMAK : KENDURI BERKHATAN

ha.. da lama tak tulis blog pasal mamak..
baru2 ni, aku ada pegi satu majlis kenduri berkhatan keluarga sebelah biras aku merangkap adik-beradik mom in law aku jugak la..
Sampai je kat umah kenduri.. waaa... macam kenduri kawen beb..
antara lauk pauk yang ada.. kurma kambing.. wajib ada kambing ayam masak apa aku pun da lupa, dalca, acar buah, timun berkuah kacang. istimewanya lagi.. siap ada ais cendol n bubor kacang.. ha.. mcm kenduri kawen tak? audio system tok sah kata la kan.. sure la ada..
tetiba.. "ha.. maplei da mai dah!" erk? aku jadi heran.. mamplei? anak teruna la tu wah!! siap berarak masuk lagi!! orangnya bertemakan arabian.. hmm.. cute gak!! masuk je umah.. waahhhh... lagi la ternganga.. tak penah lagi aku tengok majlis berkhatan ada pelamin! kalau majlis cukur jambol tu biasala jugak..

well.. this is tipical mamak did!! everything they do, they will share with relatives in their own way.

*they have family members who manage a bridal boutique that famous among Mamak Penang. Its owner is dumb

tak ramai keluarga yang bikin kenduri macam gini. orang melayu buat kenduri biasa aje..

PART2#MAMAK: THE LANGUAGES

When a different lineage, such as my hubby and i, will certainly feel strange with the languages they speak. They speak TAMIL!! weird right?? indeed at first i felt very strange.. why do they speak tamil? and sometimes they are funny with the speech that i feel like going to twisted their tongue. hehehe... do Malays speak tamil? i have never heard it before.. but in time... i felt the language they speak is very unique. i'm impressed.. not easy to speak tamil!! i have tired... extremely difficult languages.. urghh... that too, because sometimes i'm jealous to see my FamIL talking, laughing, gossiping, etc.., but i? i do not understand what they were saying even a word. i could only smile. :) but now you can try me... hehehe Behind it, i was disappointed with the attitude of the Malays in particular handful. They like to insinuate the mamak with the way they talk. i'm married to the mamak was also affected by the satire. but i'm proud that i've mixed marriage and i understand many words that they uttered. We should feel proud when we master many languages. For example, my FIL can speak 4 languages including Chinese. So, my children are very lucky because they have the opportunity to learn other languages.. these are the words that i want to share:

1. minne = fish 2. nande = crab
3. kanna = eye 4. maddia = stupid
5. addi = beat 6. nalla rekke = sangat cantik
7. sappede = eat 8. kuddi = minum
9. ni yare? = siapa awak? 10. yare kupdinggey? = siapa panggil?

PART 1# MAMAK : THE PUBLIC IS NOT KNOW THEIR CULTURE

tak kenal maka tak cinta.. that's the perfect words...

Many of the Malays, especially in areas outside the Penang (which many mamak) do not know their culture and tradition. this is based on the experience i went through.

i dont know apparently mamak always underestimated by the Malay until i'm married to my beloved husband. Everything related to the way mamak talking, food and their appearance, they try to degrade them.

*teringat lagi boss aku perli cara aku cakap.. biasalah.. hidup kat penang terutama dalam keluarga mamak yang betui punya asal dari penang!! memangla loghat dia lain skit..).

if you talk about food, the days must have a curry or dhal soup *not like the soup but also more to curry* bab makan, i'll post another story. ok!?

These people look different as well as their descendants from India. There are white and there are dark skinned. * yeah, my hubby a lil bit dark* Just imagine, if u see a dark-skinned Salman Khan? sweet what?!! their nose, no need to say, beat the high tower.. ngee!! has organized and clean teeth.. eyelashes.. fuhhh melentik!! *aku tergoda* what else? *cerita macam semuanya nampak perfect, huh* so, anak aku jadik mangsa la.. kena kutuk abis.. maklum la.. anak perempuan yang sulung, gelap ikut bapak dia.. apa lagi.. sana-sini dok perli kat aku.. eeeee...

They dress like other people, but there is also a typical indian Mami who was wearing a sari in Malaysia. (bab lain, i cerita pasal dress at weddings) first time introduced by a relative, i was surprised as well when there seems to wear sari. I think they are not Muslim. *funny right?* but do not get me wrong... my husband family is really Malaysian.

This is what i was trying to fix. do not degrade others before we get to know them better.

* da penat menaip... to be continued...*

HOW I COUGHT IN MAMAK'S FAMILY..

History began when i fell in love with a man.. (hindustan hero look, but akind of dark lil bit). We met in a boat while on the way back from Langkawi Island. Actually, i really dont know that he is an Indian Muslim descent.

indeed, after our meeting, then i know the existence of MAMAK. *sorry for that my daer*. so, during our meeting, i was introduced to the family of my lover.

they're all very nice and friendly. My family isso diffrerent with the lack of interaction and mingle with each other. all people do their own thing. Just because i'm a daughter in the family, i became shy and quiet. that is what has been said by the family in law"quiet.. sound slow... is not heard..." "hey!! malulah.." *i can only grumble in my heart*

from there, i continue to be friends and loving. My mother does not agree with our relationship on the specific reasons which i dont know. * that's the problem, do not like to talk openly..*

Love is blind... how would be opposed to the destiny of God.. I finally married the man of my heart choice.. and began my life in a family descended from mamak.. *veru nice*
