Bau Kampung Johol


Pagi semalam, kurang lebih jam 10:30, aku sampai juga ke kebun pakcik kepada isteri aku. Kat mana? Kat Hulu Langat. Memang cukup terkenal tempat ni dengan kebun, homestay dan resort, chalet sebab ada banyak sungai. Aku pulak dah lama tak ke kebun, hutan, jadi, macam teruja juga nak ke kebun tu.

Sampai je, bukak pintu terus mengimbau kenangan. Rasa nostalgia, melankolik apa semua lah. Sebab ada bau yang mengingatkan aku akan kampung belah Abah aku di Johol, Negeri Sembilan. Yang buat rasa melankolik tu, sebab rumah di sana dah "dirobohkan" (for lack of better words) jadi atas tanah kat sana aku rasa memang kosong kot. Nanti aku tengok balik Whatsapp group keluarga belah Abah aku.

Eh, melalut pulak tapi alang-alang dah termasuk "simpang" cerita pasal kampung Abah, layan je la. Kampung Abah tu, dekat dengan Air Mawang. Kampung Masjid Tua nama diberi. Kat laman rumah tu dulu, ada pokok kelapa, pokok durian, pokok rambutan (paling banyak) dan surau kecil yang seingat aku, masa aku membesar, jadi tempat simpan Majalah Gila-Gila yang Abah kumpul. Pretty sure surau tu arwah Atok buat tempat solat dan mengaji sebelum jadi stor.

Tu surau lamo di balik rimbunan pohon rambutan tu.


Paling menariknya pasal rumah kampung Abah aku ni, betul-betul bertentangan dengan rumah, seberang jalan tu, kawasan kubur. Dulu, masa kecil aku ada jugak rasa seram takut. Bilik air dan tandas kat luar dapur, tapi bumbungnya terbuka. Hahaha. Di kawasan kubur tu juga, bersemadinya arwah Busu, adik bongsu Abah yang meninggal masa aku sekeluarga tinggal di Kuching. Al-Fatihah.


Masa kecil, rumah tu meriahlah kan. Laman rumah penuh kereta masa musim raya, semua balik kampung. Tidor kat ruang tamu tu perkara biasa. Pagi-pagi, menggigil nak mandi air kolah. Ada perigi lama tapi seingat aku memang dah ditutup. Belakang rumah ada kawasan stor ke apa nama, tempat simpan barang-barang macam kuali kawah, perkakas memasak, berkebun. Kalau tak silap lah. Dah lama kenangan tu semua. 

Kali terakhir aku ke sana, November 2017. Baru 3 bulan berkahwin, dan aku masa tu rasa kusut, serabut dengan kerja. Impromptu trip ke Melaka, ikut jalan belakang Ampang, Hulu Langat, Kuala Klawang, Jelobak Jelebu, kemudian, singgah kampung Abah. Nasib baik aku ingat sikit-sikit jalan ke sana, dibantu sikit oleh Waze. 


Tompek awak dulu-dulu main gelongsor.😂



Lepas tu, singgah Tampin untuk makan (pergi Tampin makan Pizza Hut🤦) sebelum meneruskan perjalanan ke Melaka.


One of my favourite makan places in Melaka


Hahha, berbalik kepada cerita semalam pergi ke kebun buah kat Hulu Langat, mungkin sebab aku tengah serabut pasal kerja, aku boleh tertidur dan buat pertama kalinya semenjak sebulan dua ni, tak rasa berdenyut kepala (migrain ke sakit kepala biasa je, tak pergi ke doktor pakar nak check haha)

Bila keluar je kawasan tu, masuk jalan besar nak balik Ampang, terus berdenyut sambung shif petang!😂


Ps: Nah, aku semangat pulak edit video aku masa kali terakhir ke Johol.

Reconnect: My Journey Back to Blogging

 Hello, fellow travel enthusiasts and friends of Malaysian adventures! It's been an incredible journey, one that saw me take an unexpected hiatus from blogging for more than three years. Life happened (more like COVID happened) —responsibilities, changes, and personal growth—but one thing remained constant: my love for exploring the beauty and diversity of Malaysia. With power to put Dillan on my back, comes great responsibility! Today, I'm excited to announce my return to the world of  blogging. It's a bit like revisiting an old friend and reminiscing about unforgettable experiences. As I dust off my keyboard and sift through the memories of past travels, I can't wait to reconnect with all of you and share new adventures. Reflecting on the Past During my hiatus, I took the time to recharge, reflect, and embark on new journeys, both physically and emotionally. I've explored different aspects of life, including my passion for raising awareness about autism, delved de...

Hang Tuah The Animation?

Woah, woah! Read this at beautifulnara about a three way agreements signed by Japanese anime studio Gonzo (Blood: The Last Vampire), Malaysian animation studio Funcel and Malaysia's National Film Development Corporation to produce Hang Tuah the animation! The protagonists....maybe? The antagonists...look so.. It sounds cool to me at first but I am being a bit skeptic about having non Malaysians to make an anime out of this legendary warriors, Hang Tuah and his friends. What more, I wonder are the voice actors gonna be Japanese too? I remember watching Silat Lagenda. That was awesome for our technology that time. But I think I shouldn't be all negative about Gonzo studio animating Hang Tuah because it's a collaboration....I think? Well, you guys can read more here and here . hehehehe
