Fatin and I left on Friday petang to Temoh for the Bertanak Menggulai event organised by JARO Perak in Temoh. That term "bertanak" which is widely used in my family rupanya bahasa Rawa. Byk lauk pauk Rawa Perak yang sama dgn lauk pauk Rawa Pahang. Nasi goreng bawang tu namanya Nasi Rondang Bawang is a Rawa breakfast. I belajar cara membuat laba..a kind of rojak buah which I served to Dr Bubbles and family when they came over for tea and dinner (sambil makan tapai segala). Kek buah Yati is so yummy.Nanti nak order lagi.Umar is such a well mannered boy. Mcm Zafirah masa kecik, he would put back his toys where he found them. Kemas sgt orangnya. :)
Fatin and I slept at a homestay in Temoh. 3 bilik so we each got a room. Tengah malam telinga I sakit bukan main. Then I baca ayat halau jin. Keh keh...mmg hilang sakitnya and I could sleep again.Anak jin mana bit my ear. I tertidur atas dia gamaknya (the house must have been left empty for a while..like who would stay there daily, kan?)
We were treated well by kins in Temoh. We managed to speak to many Rawa Perak. Some baru 3 generasi. I finally found a story about water routes across..ada from Acheh ke Penang..ada yang terus ke Melaka. Ada yang terus ke Teluk Intan. Masa perjalanan 1 hour bot pancung 2 horse power. Caranya berpandukan asap gas yang keluar dari elantar minyak mana2..so all boats would berpandukan itu as their lighthouse.Takkan jauh menyasar ..kalau ditiup angin..paling tidak tersadai di pantai Selangor or pantai Perak. Tekong laut and tekong darat would take care of those migrant workers...satu boat boleh muat 25 orang but usually sampai 50 orang lebih..tu yang mudah terbalik.
Someone from Tanjung Malim told me zaman Belanda, sebab Belanda ambik semua biji kopi..teh locals were left only with daun kopi so they dried up daun kopi and then buat kopi.Lagi sedap dan berkhasiat dari biji kopi. Tuhan tu kaya. Akal ada untuk innovate.
DO Tanjung Malim ckp he would like me to be part of his team for the next Rawa event.Ahh..I must drop him a line in case he forgets. Haha. Mmg seronok belajar sesuatu baru sebenarnya. And you meet very interesting people along the way. Good for my novel development.
