sebelum apa2, happy birthday wan liana. semoga dilindungi Allah selalu dan dikabulkan semua hajat di hati, amin.
i was inspired by this entry. bila cerita pasal bekal, teringat zaman sekolah rendah dulu. masa darjah 1 and 2, pagi2 ada makan2 free. rancangan makanan tambahan. frankly i was not qualified to join. alah, bukanlah nak kata family kami kaya, but both my parents were teachers. combine income mestilaa more than bape2 ratus yg qualify untuk rmt tu kan. my mum offered to pay for my portion kat guru besar. but guru besar kewl je kata takyahla. bape sen sangat katanya, huhu. i think that time, 99% of the school population qualified for rmt. takkan plak saya kena left out kan kan. manalaa budak umur 7/8 tahun faham nak diterangkan yang dia tak qualify nak makan free. as far as i was concern, i was poor too. my mum won’t allowed me to have icecream kotak. eskrem mesia seposen tuh biasala makan petang2. eskrem tuh sumer orang pon mampu beli :p
my favourite dish would be ayam masak lemak cili padi. i’d queued up earlier, then bleh laa pilih yang ada kentang. yummy i tell you. makan plak kat akar2 pokok hutan kat belakang sekolah. 1 of the old headmaster apparently adalah pencinta alam/hutan. he planted a lot of pokok2 hutan, which we kids adored to play during recess or after school. but then after he retired (or changed to another school, tak sure lah), the new headmaster cut up all those beautiful trees :( sayang kan? boleh plak dia buat projek tanak pokok koko. pehtu bebudak had to adopt the cocoa trees. buh baja (compost material dari sampah2 bakar) and siram every single day.
then dah takde rmt. tatau apa sebenarnya terjadi. or tukar headmaster yang won’t allow me to join the rmt kids. tahla.
anyway, masa sekolah rendah i’d bring bekal every single day. most of my friends did too. lauk simple je pun. telur masak kicap. or even ikan bilis goreng dengan bawang and cili. meleleh lak air liur teringat, hihi. bila loceng recess went off kami berlari2 carik port nak makan. bawah pokok of course. i missed all those trees, i do. i still had the mental images. at the front left of the school perimeter, ada pokok gajus (yang tak pernah berbuah pun) and rambutan. and apa jenis pokok tah. after the mini jungle had been demolished, sinilah port nak makan :)
port nak makan tuh today had been cleared up. jadik pondok jaga and parking for teachers. dulu2 our front gate was directly depan main road. maybe current headmaster fikir safety and all, so moved the front gate to that left side of school perimeter. front gate sekarang direct access dengan jalan masuk kampung. isk, jammed plak situ pagi2, payah orang nak keluar *tiba2 emo, haha*
masa sekolah menengah takdela bawak bekal. sapa plak bawak bekal kat sekolah asrama? haha. tapi saya pernah ada zaman suka minum nestum. so, bancuh nestum ngan air water cooler. owh, i take my nestum cold. i love that chrunchy feeling, sambil minum sambil makan :p
zaman kerja pun saya rajin bangun pagi2 and masak bekal. sebab saya bosan makan kat luar. saya bawak bekal sampai zaman malas and jemu makan masakan sendiri. pehtu makan kedai. jemu makan kedai rotate makan bekal balik, haha.
ahhh ngantuk plak mata dah lunch ni. oklah tuh je saya nak membebel arini. take care. tata :D
