Du du duuiii Mak sam bo yan!!!
“Do do doi mak sam bo yan
Ucuk anyark,
Kapai kepala buak
Sepak pungkok kena Tupperware
Tak pecah
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee………”
Nominated as the song of the year
The best lyric ever written by mankind
The most creative song ever produced
The most memorable and beautiful lullaby
I’ll treasure it
I’ll sing it to my children
I’ll will always remember you Nyak
God bless your soul.
Ever heard of the word “LOVE”?
Ever wonder what it means?
Really?
“La illa ha illallah”…… Abang stood before me, trying very hard to persuade Irfan, his only grandchild to sleep….. “penat Tok Abah macam ni”. Indeed he is tired, after months of sleepless night accompanying Kak Piah who has just left him few days ago. Left him for good. She passed away last Friday after one and a half years of struggling with the big C. I looked deep into his eyes and I could see anger, emptiness… and here Abang stood strong in front of me trying hard to hide his feelings……… “Mana Irfan Tok Abah niiiii……..” now that is what we called LOVE.
“Dia nak susu kot…” and you could see Mak with her trembling hands trying to help Abang with Irfan’s milk bottle…. Again she is beside him, again during his difficult times she will be there, always on time, never late, never fail to be there. Again by his side. Look deep into her eyes and I could see sadness, hope and worries. Sad because no Mother wants to see their son suffers, hope.. praying to God to let her live another 100 years so that she could be with Abang, worry.. that her health will fail on her. Again this is LOVE…mother’s LOVE.
Come to think of it, who is taking care of whom … My 65 yrs old brother taking care of Mak or my 90yrs old Mak is taking care of Abang. I think I know, and I’m very sure that it is Mak who is there for Abang. She will always be there for us.
Thank you God………
“Mak tak pernah cakap, mak simpan kat mak biar merobok dalam perut, pak pernah pesan kat mak dia kata ..Yun hang duduk di rumah ni , jangan dok pi menyusah anak-anak” Rumah ni aku buat untuk hang…. Hang duduk kat rumah ni…..”
“Mak la ni nak balik dok rumah mak…. Memang mak dah tak dengar tapi mak kecik hati kalau orang cakap kasar-kasar dengan mak…. Mak tak pernah cakap kasar dengan anak-anak mak….”
That was the longest journey I’ve ever been, listening to all her words in the middle of the night traveling from my Abang’s house …. Who are we to stop her from doing what she wants. Since when we were granted the veto power to brush aside her wishes, Who gave us the right to determine what is right and what is wrong for her…… she was the one who taught us all that since Pak left 30 years ago..? Is she suffering in silence, or we are just too ignorant to realize.
We love you mak……
So to all Si Tanggang, Mat Tanggang and Minah Tanggang out there…. Do we really know what the true meaning of LOVE. Do you? Really?
Dud u dui ( dodoi la dodoi )
Mak Sam bo yan ( budak masam di buaian )
Ucuk anyark ( Busuk hanyir )
Kapai kepala buak ( kapai la si budak manja )
Sepak pungkok ( I guess it means geram )
Kena Tupperware ( he missed and kick a Tupperware )
Tak pecah ( It doesn’t break……it is Tupperware )
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ( yeaaaahhhhhhhhh )
How I wish you were still around Nyak to sing me this beautiful Lullaby….
But still….. Mak nak balik rumah Mak.!!!
Mak, Can I sing you this lullaby so that we just forget about all these. We do love you, worry about you but we just don’t really know how to do it. We thought we know but…
terkapai kapai

bang ajie,
didn't know at all that anak abang, Adi Safri was my classmate in STAR, Ipoh until met him at the funeral. what a small small world indeed as what kakteh sms me that day.
yes, small world. thank you for being there and i guess amongst all you should be the toughest as you always need to smile in all situations. Envy your "task" and keep up the good work.
ish...cukuplah..dah kerin ayark mata ku!
