Dua Jejaka Idaman Malaya


This is what my two sons got up to tonight.

I was sitting with them after Maghrib, and was talking with Nuaim about the Malay traditional dress.

Nuaim: "Lepas tu Ummi pakai baju Melayu, seluar Melayu, kain sampin..."

Me: "Ummi kan perempuan, Ummi tak pakai kain sampin semua tu."

Nuaim: "Iye lah, baju Melayu untuk budak lelaki macam Nuaim kan?" (Suddenly excited). "Nuaim nak pakai baju Melayu lah!"

And so he runs off to find his favourite 'grape'-coloured baju, complete with sampin and songkok. Nu'man, upon seeing his brother putting on the festive clothes, thinks its Hari Raya and decides to dress up as well. As one would say in Kelantanese, bghehi jjangok sungguh!

Nu'man's cheek apples have always been there, but nowadays they're bigger. Goes with his diet, I suppose. Pantang nampak makanan!
