Main Bunga Api

Since it is Raya but noone ever come to beraya with us (sedih), we have been spending our evenings hanging out at the patio. We have placed our old Cavenzi dining table over there, and due to the fact that we live too near to the equator and our rain can be pretty nasty, so I used a water-proof table cover in sunny yellow.

I kinda like that table cloth because it matches with my pretty yellow lanterns hanging above it. That lanterns are speacial to me because Azman bought them in Vietnam when he went there for work leaving his newly-wed wife alone at home several years ago.I guess the jodoh between the Cavenzi table and the Vietnamese silk lantern is still strong, I used  them both at my dining area in our old house. Now they are together again in our patio. How sweet… Esok dah boring pun aku campak ke tong sampah pun sama2 jugak kasik panjang jodoh korang… heh…

Miki and his new favourite drink – teh O.

Kindly do not look at the overgrown lawn! Our Mr Lawn Mower, Ali is nowhere to be found, maybe he has gone back to Bangladesh for Eid I think. Tapi kalau dah kena bakar dengan taik lembu pun tak sapa tahu sebab dia bukan seorang Datuk, kan??! Ops

Miki is a funny kid, one day he is terrified of the sparkles, the next day he gets very brave. One day he would hang on to me or his Dad at a sight of a burning sparkles as though his life was depending on us but the next day he would be playing with them like there was no tomorrow.

Daddy yang penat pasang lampu pelita.

One of the “berani” days..

I tried to teach Miki the correct way of playing bunga api. First, you take two sparkles, hold them in both hands, then light them up at the torch.  When your Dad’s money  they have started to burn, you have to wave your arm in circular motion and run around like mad chicken around the house. While you are doing that you have to smile and grin and sing hari raya song preferably the Saloma’s one.

I am sure that’s how I played with bunga api when I was a child!! Or is it what I have been seeing on TV? Mom and Dad kacau dodol or bakar lemang, kids in baju raya running around happily around them… But the old couple are missing the child in KL… the child has gone rich and a spoilt brat! On raya morning as Takbir was on the air, the child felt sorry dan insaf tahap nangis-nangis pastu baru balik kampung salam mak bapak dia dan mereka pun live happily ever after.

Ok, that way of playing bunga api is deffinately from TV! My way of playing bunga api is THIS way!
