I got home two days ago. Arrived home pretty exhausted from Padang.It was a hectic 8-day trip starting with Rao-Bukit Tinggi-Padang and home.
Mula-mula sampai Rao, excited sebab suasana kampong dan suasana Islam. Surau banyak and pagi2 when the azan went akan ada orang ngaji, orang bertazkirah, budak2 ngaji pakai microphone.Lagu memang lagu melancholic.Teringat my Sumatran guru ngaji aruah Pak Aji Asmawi. Dia ada cakap pasal sawah, pasal budak2 mengaji merendai-rendai. I experienced those.Nice feeling.
Dr Afi gave me his bro in law to take care of us 4. Door to door service from airport to 7 hours ride ikut jalan mcm pi Cameron Highlands to Rao (biasa 4.5 to 5 hours kalau bawak laju but Reza was careful). Fatin muntah2 macam nak terkeluar isi perut. I ok je sebab mcm jalan Raub lama. Macam balik kampong le. :)
Afi put us at this Wisma Rao and each of us got a room.No aircon here.Kipas pun tak seberapa laju. But nasib toilet dlm bilik. Air sejuk (frm bukit katanya). We met local people..Datuak Amran who showed us around and found what he suspected my waris..lineage Maharaja Datuak Morah so I met his anak2. The position now belongs to someone else.I told them I had returned to claim my rights.Haha.
So I saw kampong moyet I..Tanjung Durian bersebelahan dgn Tanjung Alai. Frozen in time.I loved Tanjung Durian. Bersih dan permai. Ada budak panjat pokok jambu air to give us some.So sweet.
Then Reza took us around the next few days (Haji Ijal did the second day and kita jalan with Datuak Amran.Visited his school.Kena kerumun dgn budak2 darjah satu.So sweet). Pastu kita pi tengok sisa2 Srivijaya.Besoknya Reza bawak naik puncak bukit to show where istana or candi Srivijaya.I makan kat warong atas bukit tu.Lauk Minang.Fresh gila.Dan sedap giler.Dengan bayu bertiup lembut.Open space.Boleh tidur kat pangkin bertikar dia tu.Fuiyoo.
More later.Byk sangat ceritanya.

Ceritalah lagi! Kita jeles habis ni! Hahaha!
Memang best cerita Rao ni. :D
Best juga kalau dah jumpa lineage Moyet di Tanjung Durian tu. But was it from our We Wahi's side or from Imam Long's side. Or were the lineage connected or interelated with each other.
Thanks.
That was Wea Wahi's side. imam Long I takda the susurgalur...waiting for Shazwan habis research dia. Imam Long was the ulema's side.Wea Wahi's the "Maharaja" side.Wallahualam.
Salam Faridah, I am trying to find my ancestry in Kampung Tanjung Durian, Lansek Kodok. Are there many families currently living there? I share the same ancestry with Tok Gajah and Mat Kilau of Pahang. Are you familiar with our family origins? I hope to make a trip there someday to meet my relatives if they are still there.
Salam Annuar, hard to say if they are genuine relatives cos'dah banyak generasi. Tanjung Durian is one whole kampong mcm kampong di Pahang in the 60s. Very permai. If you are of Tok Gajah lineagem, then it's Imam Long's side.Ramai je keturunannya di Pahang Barat: Raub, Jerantut and yang merantau to other states like Perak, Selangor , Negeri Sembilan pun banyak.
I would recommend you travel to Rao (about 7 hours road trip from Padang). Setengah kata Mat Kilau keturunan Acheh but ramai org Rao yang berhijrah ke Acheh that it's difficult to say who is what.
