Eif 1433H Part II

Dear Sufi,

After spending 6 days in kampung....it was time to start heading back to KL!

7 Syawal:

Lepas hantar Cik Na ke station bus Pasir Putih, kita hantar Cik Su balik asrama kat Batu Rakit pulak

Layan udang celup tepung, sotong celup tepung and keropok lekor tepi pantai, near Batu Rakit

minum air kelapa, Mama ingat dia bg buah kelapa terus..letak dlm gelas mana feeling

Sangat excited bila nampak pantai! Cantik!!!!

Layan twisties Cik Teh bagi

Alahai Cik Su yang super duper berat hati tak nak balik asrama. Sampai asrama, CikSu heart to heeart ngan Mama kenapa dia sgt struggle kat asrama :(

Sebenarnya nak background pantai..langit pun xnmpak. Over exposed!

On our way to Kerteh. Jem kat Besut. eh ke kat mana. Tak ingat dah nama area yang jem tu. Sporting pulak Sufi ajak bergambar camni

Sufi siap request nak buat posing lain pulak

Mama, buat mulut camni pulak. Amboiii dia pulak ajar Mama!

Singgah Kerteh rumah ex-housemate Papa kat UTP, Uncle Din. His eldest son, Rakin. Hensem tau! Kaw kaw Mama interview si Rakin ni. Kita nak balik, Rakin sampai nak ikot kita pegi hotel :)

Papa with his ex-coursemates in UTP, Uncle Ise and Uncle Din. Budak-budak EE.

Three families!

Last minute change of plan - overnight kat Kerteh Inn - a bungalow hotel. Ok Mama puas hati. Bersih and great Muslim service.

8 Syawal:

Muahaha! We booked 15 hours before checkin and I managed to got great rates! Two thumbs up to booking.com!

Impiana reminds me a lot of Club Med! Cuma Impiana operates at a smaller scale and beach tak bleh lawan Club Med la.

Deluxe room at RM190. Agoda quoted RM310 and walk-in booking quoted RM359!

Aktiviti yang Sufi akan buat ngan Papa - potong kuku! Bleh kira berapa kali je Sufi potong kuku ngan Mama :)



Tengok muka budak enjoy!

Tengok muka Mak budak enjoy! First time Mama jupe tayar camni tau!

Mama suka pantaiiii!!!

Sufi lagi excited main pasir sebab takut air pantai & ombak!

Mama pun tak sure apa yang korang buat. Lepas Mama ambik gambar terus Mama pergi tepi main air pantai sorang2!

Mama suruh Sufi baring macam ni tepi air

Mama agak risau tengok Papa sebab ombak agak kuat

Tengok la budak takut nak masuk pool!

Agak cool la Playhouse ni. Banyak toys.



Sufi yang minta rent float ni tapi tak sampai 5 saat menjerit ketakutan!

Sufiyah, I won't forget.

When you were just over a year, we went for a quick swim at Cyberjaya Community Club. I can't clearly remember, but Papa's attempt to teach you to swim ended up with a series of crying and screaming. You were then phobia of the water. Tengok swimming pool excited tapi refused to get into the pool. You would scream your lungs out if we force you to go in or even to get you closer to the beach.

It took you a long time to regain your confidence. Our family trip with Nenek to The Lost World of Tambun brought back your confidence. Well... not very much but at least your cousins successfully persuaded you to get into the water. But I can still see you're carrying a bag full of hesitations and sometimes you were simply frightened and cried out of nowhere!

So,

Our quick trip to Impiana Cherating was no difference. But at least I can see some progress.
You went into the Jacuzzi by yourself. The jacuzzi has two parts. A shallow part and a deeper part. You went into the shallow part. The water was just at your waist line. You walked a few rounds in the jacuzzi. I threw a gazed at Papa as I was sitting on the bench. Papa smiled at me and we both were thinking the samething! Sufi dah berani lah! Yeay! Shortly after, I saw one of the staff passing behind me. So I turned my head to him to let him know that the shower have a stinky smell. Papa told him that the shower was clean when we first got there. So, I turned back my head to you.

Wow! Am I surprised to see that you were in the middle of the jacuzzi and floating upwards -
kicking hard with your arms and legs! I'm proud! You tried to swim, Sufi! All by yourself!
So I quickly called out for Papa to show off your ability. Papa look at you in amazement! We smiled at each other. I continue looking at you, smilling. Then, my eyes narrowed for a short while. I suddenly see your face turned red.

Sufiyah!!!! You were not trying to swim by yourself! You accidentally fell into the deeper part of the jacuzzi and you were trying to float to survive!

...............

I immediately shouted to Papa, Yang dia lemas la yang.. Yang cepat yang!!!!! Papa hesitated a while because he also thinks you're trying to swim! Only a few seconds later Papa also get to his concious that you were about to drown! Unlike the drama, the hero would jumped into the pool, splashing the water very hard - your hero walked into the jacuzzi to get you (Papa said he still wants to see you to try floating because your arms and legs were doing such a great job). You were beginning to choke some water. Mama jerit lagi Yang, cepat amik dia!

When Papa finally get you out from the water, I came ran to you and hug you. I can't explain it but my heart just pounded so hard (so hard Sufi!) and I closed my eyes so hard! You cried for a short while but quickly calm down dalam pelukan Mama.

Ya Allah, Ayra Sufiyah. It happened so fast. Mama toleh kepala kejap je, cakap 1 ayat je... Subhanallah. Alhamdulillah, panjang umur anak Mama. The scene still came flashing back to my mind even after a few hours. I needed to shake off my head and shut my eyes to make the scene go away! Subhaallah Sufiyah. It was a SUPER DUPER eye opening moment! For me and for Papa!

Mama: Sufi, tadi Sufi jalan-jalan dalam air lepas tu Sufi terjatuh ye? Lepas tu Sufi swimming! Sufi pandai! Sufi menang sikit!
(I quickly continue my sentences sebab nak jadikan kejadian tu positive. Takut Sufi lagi phobia nak swim.)
Sufi: Haa.. Sufi menang? Menang sikit *smile*
(You were about to make a sad face when I mentioned terjatuh but your face quickly brightened up bila dengar Mama cakap menang)
Mama: Sufi pandai swimming. Sufi gerak2 tangan and kaki Sufi! Sufi menang sikit!
Sufi: *smiles*
Mama: Kenapa Sufi tak panggil Mama tadi?
Sufi: Sufi..... Sufi.... tak boleh.
Mama: Sufi minum banyak air?
You sadly nodded.

I mentioned menang as an encouragement and to let you know that was the correct thing to do
but I also mentioned sikit to let you know anything can happened because we were not supervising you very closely! Sampai kat hotel pun Mama still terbayang2 muka merah Sufi. Nak tido malam tu pun still terbayang-bayang. Kesian anak Mama banyak minum air klorin.

A few minutes before the incident. Sufi pusing-pusing jacuzzi.



Post incident. Tak nak pandang camera dah. Nak balik bilik je.



9 Syawal:



Waking up to a beautiful beach scenery

Breakfast buffet. A pretty good selections of Malay/Western food.

Love,

Mama
