Dah habis dah pic2 yang i nak share buat masa ni.
dalam duk mencari2 bahan, what to share here, i terjumpa pic2 masa kita berjalan2 ke Karachi and Dubai.
kembar belum ada lagi in our life at that time and Aniq was only 6 years old...
Masa tu papa was based in Karachi, Pakistan.
He was appointed to handle one of the company subsidiaries there .
So berpisah la i dengan papa.
3 tahun kat sana, n i ditemani oleh seorang helper yang sangat motherly.
Papa kata, helper indonesia tu hanya utk menemankan i ,takut i taklah tidur malam2 risau jer kalau berdua with Aniq.
Papa balik bercuti every 2 month and ada masanya i akan ke sana and habiskan cuti2 kat sana.
Waktu tu tak ada masalah utk pergi bila2 jer, sebab Aniq masih di kindergarten., so tak perlu tunggu cuti sek.
Masa ni i bawak Aniq ke Karachi.
baru tiba di airport sana.
Jinnah International Airport Karachi, puas laaa duk mengulang alik ke sana dulu.
Papa tak sabar2 nak tunggu kedatangan kami masa ni.
Abaikan muka berpeluh baru turun dari flight.
Penerbangan from Malaysia to Karachi normally makan masa 6 jam.
This is me at Karachi Sunday Bazaar.
yes, soo kurus and comel kan hahahaha.
I was 47kg this time.
cannot tahan sakit rindu kat papa everyday hehehe.
The best thing yang always make me love Karachi adalah dia punya Sunday Bazaar.
You can have most of everything there.
Selalunya peminat2 bundle laa akan gila this place.
kat sini banyak jual branded2 item dr US.
Memang Karachi ni jadi tempat dump barang2 terpakai from US.
Jadi kat pasar ni la dorang bukak dan lambakkan semua barang2 ni.
Barang2 kat sini memang originally dr US.
u can easily find Levis jeans , macam2 saiz and lots2 of choice.
Kasut2 kulit branded like Clarks, semua2 tu dijual dengan harga yang sangat2 unbelievable.
Tambahan nilai matawang dorang kan rendah.
Kat sana they use Pkr..Pakistan Rupee.
Selain tu, Aniq punya toys yang masih baik dr US pun berlambak2.
They just lambakkan and u can pilih berapa banyak pun u nak.
The price was 10 toys for Rm1 like that.
Mana tak gila kan si Aniq masa tu.
Dahlah masa tu umur dia tengah gila2 mengumpul toys.
Memang heaven la utk dia
Antara pic2 yang i google, i tak banyak personally snap the pic masa kat sana, and if i did pun,im not sure dah where i keep the pic.
Masa memula papa bawak I kesana, memang sangat2 kejutan budaya hehehehe.
masa dorang jual kasut jer dah cukup.
They called Clarks as 'Kilaks'..and i was like...'apa dia ni cakap eh'.
But , communication , takder masalah.
They can speak english quite well.
Kalau tak ramai pun yang boleh bercakap, but at least they understand.
Kalau i terpaksa face dengan orang yang tak mampu faham English, i will refer to papa sebab papa can speak Urdu .
So, sepanjang 3 tahun kat sana, i believe his Urdu dah bertambah baik la.
This is me , another week kat Sunday Market.
We'll behere everyweek, on Sunday, cannot miss this pasar.
I was enjoying fresh daging bakar.
Nak tau sapa jual.
This Afghan guy.
Confirm u tak lalu nak makan kan .
Bayangkan dging tu bersepah jer , di bakar atas grill tu.
Dengan debu2 yang bersepah2...and tengok pulak rupa orang yang bakar tu.
U all lalu ker nak makan?
The first time i tengok, memang i rasa semacam.
Tak lalu.
tapi bila tengok member2 papa selamba jer makan.
I pun cuba la sebatang
And after that i was like...addict..
Gila sedap daging tu, rasa fresh gila kot.
Dah la murah snagat2.
Sbatang besi tu, lebih kurang 4 sen duit kita.
Saiz besi tu , ada dalam pic i duk makan kat atas tu ha.
Every week, peniaga 2 Sunday Market ni memang tak sabar2 waiting for us , Malaysian to come and shop here.
nampak jer muka2 kitorang, awal2 dah kemaskan tempat duduk n bakar daging2 tu awal2.
Maunya tak, sekali Malaysian datang makan daging sini, dorang dha boleh berkemas for that day hehehe.
Orang2 dia cuma mampu beli sebatang jer daging tu and they share2 makan .
Pada dorang, mahal la nak makan daging tu mewah2 like us makan kan .
Time shopping barang2 pun , fuuh, semua laaa duk sambut2 kita and pujuk2 to buy diorang punya barang.
Kalau ada yang nak mengetuk harga pun , i think their duit tu still murah la to us.
But being there for quite sometime kan, papa dah tau snagat trick2 dorang.
tambahan papa boleh cakap bahasa dorang, tak mudah la nak kena ketuk harga.
But in terms of menipu, memang kena betul2 extra careful.
papa kata orang2 sana mampu buat 'magik'
Especially bila berniaga.
Price dah la boleh berubah2.Satu hal la kan .
The size of barang2 yang u nak, pun magically boleh berubah jugak hahaha.
tak ke magic tu.
Contohnya satu hari tu, i berkenan la dnegan satu jeans tu.
I dah belek merata2, but i couldnt find the size yang i nak.
masalahnya, i berkenan dengan pattern tu jugak.
So i bitau la orang berniaga tu that i nak my szie.
I think size 28 for my jeans.
I dah habis belek, memang i couldnt find my size.
The only size available is 26..and confirm i tak muat.
Suddenly, the guy yang berniaga tu pegang the 26 size and happily cakap.."yea..i found ur size"
I said, it was 26 and i want size 28.
U know what the guys said..
"dont worry madam, see...(sambil tarik tali ukur dia)...this can be 28 also...see see.."
and magically, dia punya tali tape pengukur tu kan , ngam2 jadi 28 bila dia ukur dari tepi seluar tu..kat pinggang tu laaa.
Magik tak???
Hahahaha..entah camana dia ukur im not sure.
But i memang tak ambik la the jeans .
tengok i dah terlopong pelik dengan what the guys dah buat, papa tergelak gila2 sebab dia kata dia berjaya prove me that the guys there mampu buat magik hahahaha.
papa cerita, tu belum lagi i tengok how papa kena face very2 tak lojik punya penipuan every single day dr staff2 dia di sana.
Sumtime penipuan2 utk dorang ponteng kerja sangat2 extreme cam, nenek meninggal, datuk kahwin lain , adik pompuan dia kena kahwin paksa, dia kena handle..macam2 laaa, yang pada mulanya papa rasa quite funny but after bertahun2, papa tak boleh tahan dah..
Stress.
Masih lagi di Sunday Market.
Anak2 kecik sebaya my son disana sudah mula kerja at this age.
Kerjanya, mengangkut barang2 customer.
Bila u beli barang jer, budak2 ni akan ikut u, offer their service utk bawak barang2 u.
They will follow u all the time sampai u agree to hire them.
So nanti dia ikut la u nak beli apa, once beli, dia terus ambik and carrykan for u.
Upahnya tak mahal, cuma few rupee, lebih kurang berapa sen jer la duit kita.
I cannot exactly remember laaa but, within that range saja .
I tunjuk pada Aniq susahnya kehidupan budak2 kat sana.
Aniq menangis one day tu bila dia nampak ada satu budak sebaya dia, yang dah kudung tangan nya, datang mengetuk kereta kami, masa witing for the traffic lite.
dengan muka comot, baju lusuh, budak tu bukan berjalan sorang, he was holding his small baby sister..pimpin tangan.
I sendiri memang tak mampu menahan .sedih tengok their life.
Not that kita tak pernah nampak pun..i think kat malaysia pun ada kan kanak2 yang follow her mother minta sedekah, but kat sana, keadaan sangat2 menyentuh hati.
Kids2 yang bernasib malang like that ada everywhere kat sana.
Suatu malam disana, masa papa mengajak kita semua having dinner outside.
Aniq merajuk with me masa tu i think.
I cannot remember what he want..but i minta dia buat peace n he refuse sebab merajuk dengan i hehehe.
Mencari makan kat luar speanjang kat Karachi sangat mudah.
Pakistan adalah negara Islam, so semua kedai makanan kat sana halal.
So, mana 2 boleh makan..cumanya u lalu atau tak lalu nak telan jer.
kalau yang bersepah2 kat tepi jalan tu, quite 'scary' jugak nak makan .
papa kata masa memula datang sana, seminggu papa kena cirit birit sebab tersalah makan di cafe tempat kerja.
Lucky that papa is a great cook.
Sepanjang kat Pakistan , papa la jadi tukang masak makanan Malaysia utk Malaysian lain kat sana.
This is another view of the restaurant yang kita pergi that night.
Actually, to be honest, makanan2 kat Pakistan ni banyak yang sedap2.
Especially their chicken tikka/chicken boti...beef boti /kabab and biryani.
I always enjoy having my meal kat sana.
Waktu lunch, u can have homemade fresh burger before your eyes, u can choose beef, then apa perasa to put inside before dijadikan beef patty.
Then the beef akan di grill and they will serve it with burger bread and salad.
Ermmm...sedapnyerrr kalau ingat balik hehehehe.
google pic of chicken tikka
Nasi pun sama.
Biryani of course la kan ..so mewah dengan taste rempah2 nya.
But nasi biasa makan dengan lauk pauk tu pun berbeza dengan nasi kita.
They normally guna beras panjang tu and masa masak nasi tu, dorang akan buang kanji masa nasi tu setengah masak.
The rest akan dimasak without kanji.
Tapi, nasi tu still turn to be very nice and tasty to me la.
I tau macammana nasi tu dimasak sebab i stay in the house with the helper.
So, bila papa pergi kerja, i spend my time duduk kat dapur bersembang with the helper.
Helper kat sana lelaki.
We called him Rafieq.
This guy dah tua pun , i think dah 50 but masih kuat.
he can cook, and most important, he can speak english very well, so that waktu papa keluar i dont have any problem to speak and communicate with him.
Rafieq love Aniq so much.
They always chit chat and Aniq ni masa tu memang macam dewasa even umur baru 6 tahun.
Dia sek kat CEC Kinderarten at that time where their school communication base is English.
Waktu tu his English memang power.
(sekarang dah hancus)
He can fluently speak eng;lish dengan adults without any problem.
Thats y Rafieq rasa so comfortable and happy that he can play with my son .
Rafieq cakap, bila semua orang keluar pergi kerja, he always sunyi duduk rumah.
Lepas basuh baju, menggosok pakaian, masak, then he got nothing else to do.
Bila adanya kita semua bercuti kat sana, Rafieq seronok betul.
Apa saja Aniq request, Rafieq akan cuba jugak siapkan .
Dia rasa maca layan cucu dia katanya.
Aniq masa tu toksah cakap la kan ..dah dimanjakan dan dispoil habis..wah wah, demand macam2.
mango juice la, hot chocolate laaa..cake..whatever he want, he just ask from Rafieq sampai i pulak rasa rimas hahaha.
I think dah cukup panjang dah this entry.
later i will sambung lagi kisah2 sepanjang papa 3 tahun kat sana k
Sorry laaa tengah2 klimaks kena stop hahaha..
later ok, i sambung...
