Lately I've been thinking about Buru a lot.
Ok ok.. I think about Buru almost all the time..
Tapi yang ni lain sikit somehow.
I dunno how to explain also.

I kept thinkng about all the good times we had over there.
Especially those when we were much younger.
In my teens. Macam best gitu.

I remember the time when we refused to follow the family to go Selat Mendaun(?). Some other island around there.
We stayed at Bonda's house, doing I dunno what also.
Bila dah petang, perut lapar... and we didnt have any money to buy food.
All of us.. me and sisters n our konco-koncos.. trooped to rumah Nek Peah.
Konon nak makan lah..but obviously they all went to Selat Mendaun as well.
Door was locked.
We got Diyana, who I believe was about 12 years old(?) and Budi to panjat the tingkap which we managed to pry open.
They were supposed to climb in and open the door for us.
But guess what??
Those two went to the kitchen and ate first!!!!
Yang bodoh ni kat luar tunggu punya tunggu punya tunggu..
And bila kita masuk, makanan tinggal sikit. Not enough for the whole bunch of us.
Citot nyer Diyana n Budi!

We went back rumah Bonda.
Kebulur ni.
Then came ur 2 heroes.
Abg Ulin n Abg Chan.. Hehehhe..
They brought nasi n lauk from rumah Nek Yang.
They masakkan air teh.
They hidangkan for us makanan. Sendukkan nasi.
I remember thinking... Wahhhhh... Best nyer ada abang....

Or the times when kecoh pasal hantu yang suka alih2 orang masa tido.
So there was this trip where we actually tied our hands together when we went to bed, thinking that if the hantu was to alih one of us..it has to carry the rest as well! Pandai kan.. Hahahahha..

Or the time where me, Ikin and Abg Khairil were left to walk from Teluk Dalam all the way to rumah Nek Peah.
It was terrifying, I tell you.
Imagine walking malam2 buta, without street lights... dikelilingi hutan belantara, and passing through kuburs.
I still can't believe we survived that.

I miss going to the warong ice kacang manned by Mas Joko.
Ganteng banget deh tu anak!

I miss berkemban2 and mandi sama2 kat perigi Tok Busu because we were all afraid that some Fatimah Rocker will peep at us since the toilet tak ada atap.

I miss walking around the kampung and getting stopped by everyone who said exactly the same thing every time.. " Weii!! Miker nak ke mana tu? Singgah sini dulu!"

I remember the time where we were all dating kat bawah pokok depan rumah Pak Leman.
And Budi came running to us saying that Kak Ana was walking towards our direction.... and gedebab gedebub suma lari lintang pukang! Kental betol ah! Buat apa nak takut sangat ngan budak pembawak gosip tu?
There was also a time kita dok berdating depan rumah Cik Haris... and yg couple lain suma bual pelan2.. yelah, romantik lah konon.. whereas Diyana and siapa eh.. Sudir(???) bual ...mak oiii...kuatnyer!!! Suma boleh dgr! They totally ruined the romantic atmosphere cos we all ended up eavesdropping and laughing at them!

Those were the days.
Benda-benda macam tu dah tak akan berulang lagik dah.
Suma dah besar.
Dah matured lah konon.
Most of the time, our geng pun tak ada.
Kamal, Firman and Belli @ Pekan Baru doing their diploma.
Budi sibuk memanjang ke laut.
Jack, Jeri, Mail suma dah sibuk ngan keje masing-masing.
Abang Ulin. The best abang in the world, pon dah bertahun tak nampak! Belayar tak abis2!
Tinggal si Dayat jer..
*sigh*

I wish I can turn back time and do it all over again. Mesti best.
