Hari Raya at
Sg.Rengit |
|
|
|
|
|
After we came back from Kampung Kurnia,
Tronoh , Perak,
we
left Kota
Damansara for Sg. Rengit at 9.30 am on the
next day. I brought along the same four children - Johan, Amin, Anita and Anuar. Sg.Rengit
is further away by twice the amount of time that it
would take to go to Tronoh. Driving on the PLUS Highway was
smooth-going all the way until we reached Kulai and
Kota Tinggi, where the heavy traffic there held us
up a bit. Finally, we reached Suria's house in Sg. Rengit at about
3.30 pm. |

|
When we reached Suria's house, the
Melaka's relatives were already there. They came in four (4)
MPVs'. The Melaka's relatives are the children and
grandchilden of Kak Sarah, whose late father, aruah Pah Ngah,
was the elder brother of my late mum. So I am Sarah's cousin.
We have not met since my late uncle, aruah Pak
Long, passed away in the sixties (1960's). |
|
|
|
|
|
The purpose of my visit to Sg.
Rengit was not only to visit my sick elder brother, Shariff, but
also to introduce my children to the relatives there so that
in future they won't feel like strangers when they meet
each other. It was fortunate that kak Sarah and
her children/grandchildren were also there to enable us to renew our ties
with them. |

A picture paints a thousand words. So, I'm not going
to write much here except to paste some of the photos that I
had taken that day to show you. |

The room was very clean and the rent was very reasonable
in the hotel that we stayed in Sg.Rrngit that
night. |

We had lunch together with the

We stayed overnight at a
budget hotel in Sg.Rengit. Yani took the kids to the
beach in the evening. We had dinner at Suria's house that night and
after that Yani brought the kids to see the ship at
Tg.Pengerang and Sabana Cove. |
|
|
The following
day we had breakfast
at Suria's house again. After breakfast, Suria and her hubby Alik took
us to my late mum's grave. After we finished reciting few
verses of the Al-Quran for my late mum, we went to drop
by Kak Yam's house before we proceeded to
leave Sg.Rengit for Kota Damansara. We left at about 10.00 am
and reached Kota Damansara at about 4.30 pm. . |
|
|
We felt the same way after we
visited Sg. Rengit as we felt after visiting Tronoh, that we should visit
our relatives more often to "eratkan silaturrahim". Unlike the previous
years, we intend to make the next coming
years to be visiting years for us and our relatives, at
least during the Hari Raya time. |
