Today, I choose to bring dessert. Well, when I am having somesort of ‘Jiwa Kacau’ or if I could not sleep at night, Kitchen is the best place to be. NO…..not to be a Tikus to korek dapur cari makan, but to rearrange the plates la, rearrange the cutlery drawers, and to look at what I have and what can be cooked or baked. I was still having difficulties sleeping after mengaji that night. With the ‘Jiwa Kacau’ I actually wanted to bake a cake… Banana Cake since my otak is going BANANAS as I couldn’t sleep !! Checked the recipe ….Ops! I don’t have Tepung Jagung. So, I decided to do Bread and Butter Pudding instead. Layered with chocolate chips ( Specially for Suzie and Nadia….), It was suppose to be raisins, but who cares he..he…sekali sekala kena indulge diri dgn benda mcm ni.. hu hu hu….
The Bread and Butter Pudding...
After Maghrib and makan, smua terjelepuk kat sofa rumah Kak Nita repeating the buah and dessert watching while ZATHURA on TV. When it was about to end, I don’t know from where the conversation appears and what its all about, Oh ya… its about the norms when husband and wife kat Malaysia bergaduh, and the wife will say, ( according to suzie…he..he..)
“ Saya tak kira,abang hantar saya balik rumah Mak bapak saya….”
AndI replied jokingly said,
“Eh, Nanti husband dia reply, eleeh… rumah Mak awak berapa tapak je belakang rumah kita, pi la balik sendiri…” And we had a gud laugh.
Then I asked Izati, ( she’s engaged and planning to get married next year.)
Husna : Izati punya tunang, orang penang sama macam izati kan?
Izati : Allah, rumah tunang Zati …Mok zati kata, dan ronbongan depa nak sampai, kalau kentut, beu tak habih lagi, depa sampaai…. (dengan loghat penang yang sangat pekat..) (* Translation = Allah, rumah tunang zati, mak zati kata, sedang rombongan nak sampai, kalau terkentut, bau kentut tak hilang lagi, rombongan pun sampai)
Me, Kak nita and Suzie gelak, but Nadia was like ……
I dun understand what on earth are they laughing about ?
And we laugh again because Nadia said she only understand when Zati mention rumah tunang je.. the rest she was like terbeliak biji mata…. The look on her face was PRICELESS !!! After laughing at Nadia, we explained to her what Izati meant to say, baru lah dia faham…he..he…
All of us except Nadia ada background Utara, Kak Nita is a lecturer from UiTM Perlis, Suzie did her undergrad in USM, so does Izati whom also grew up in Kepala Batas, and me, who’s mother tounge is Bahasa Melayu Pulau Pinang at home ( my family cakap penang kat rumah and with other orang penang but when kluar rumah, automatic slang tukar.)but tak sepekat mcm Izati.
When ever we talk about anything, terkeluarlah slang utara and Nadia will have that PRICELESS look on her face. Even when Izati sebut Pisang and calls Nadia , “KOK NADIA…” ha..ha..ha….every now and then, we will educate Nadia a little bit on Bahasa Utara like, Ligan, Mar-ket and many others…Okay, Nadia grew up in Subang Jaya all her life and then went to Brisbane for her undergraduate studies. So, bahasa utara ke, Timur ke, Sabah Serawak ke, dia tak familiar la….BUt, Nadia teror loghat NOGORI tau...(Nanti kita pi Negri Sembilan, habislah kita.....)Nevermind Nadia, u will know bahasa utara in a dash with Izati, Kak Nita, Suzie and me around you he..he....
I wonder when Nadia dah complete her Masters and go back to Malaysia, Nadia dah pandai ckp loghat utara and her parents will be thinking that did they send their anak to
Adelaide, Australia or Kokdiang, Kedah he..he..
* Terima Kasih Kak Nita kerana sudi contribute tepung jagung kepada orang yang separuh Bananas ni untuk buat Banana Cake. Harap-harap orang yang makan banana cake tu tak la plak go bananas ye...
