Umi and untie cik ta are planning to come out with a compilation of all 35 english lecturers' memories of their childhood stories. we started asking around and found out that many of us were very naughty when we were young.....some were really unbelievable......so umi wanna share some of umi's own memories that umi never told anyone ......
1...of course the first one was my experience fishing at a river near tok jang's house...the river bank was my favourite spot after Quran class....i could fish till noon, came home for lunch and continued fishing, rain or shine.....one day, tok jang's daughter, Shahrin ( girl) asked umi to join her swimming in the river, even though none of us knew how to do it....it was about 12 noon. so both us us waded to the middle of the river and tried to do a few strokes but suddenly our legs did not touch the riverbed....umi was half-drown, stuggling to find something to hold on to...... our heads were below the water and we held on to each other.....nobody was around...we could not shout for help coz we were so scared....somehow shahrin got the strength to pull umi to the riverbank......we were both very quiet after that...dared not tell anyone.....it was our secret till today.
2. after quran class umi went home, took some cloves of onions((x tell tok)......umi n salmi, noni, nita n a few already had a pact to have our real pondok2...main masak2....the venue was salmi's house...anak wa teh kat masjid tu.....so all of us did the real cooking, helped by wa teh n her neighbours....we also cooked kangkung found by the parit........what a feast that day......almost maghrib time umi went home only to see pak ndak walking quickly to umi n pulled umi's hair.tok was seething with anger..mana idaknye...umi left the house for almost one day and surely they were dead worried.....but it was fun......
3. geting bruises and scars was normal during our childhood....one day umi fell from pokok baru...while playing bus....pokok tu la bus kami....not only that...umi's eye (dekat@ la) tersangkut duri kawat ( barbed wire)..apa lagi...umi cried all the way home...and had to be taken care of by aruah tok long coz tok had to go the paddy field....umi was 6 at that time...so while waiting for tok long to finish teaching quran class, umi pun dah leh complete muqaddam and started quran at the age of 7....masa tu bangga la.....
4. umi, being the youngest also followed pak ndak and pak cik ani catapulting( melastik) one time, pak ndak lastik one bird which was perching on the tree branch...ntah cam ne the pebble that he used hit the branch and bounced back and landed on umi's face ( dekat ngan mata gak)....sempatla benjol 2, 3 hari.....
typing all these suddenly reminded me ......no wonder anak2 umi pun nakal.....mak dia dulu heroin kampung padang..........tu baru sikit yg dicerita.....tunggu episod gila2......
