phone conversation, daughter to father.

"yah, nak minta tolong."

"ape?"

"aye ada bwat drama ni...pastu drama ni dia time raya...ada scene masak2 lemang, dodol semua..."

"habis tu?"

"nak minta tolong ayah belikan lemang untuk drama tu nnt...kat shah alam ni tak tau la nak beli kat mana..."

"hmph...tgklah nnt..."

"yay, tengkiu yah..."

and so, my drama performance went smoothly well, for some who still remembered it, did you notice the lemang? cik has kot yang berlakon bakar lemang masa tu, kelakar lah...sapa lagi yer yang ada dlm drama tu...fiona (berkesan seh lakonan ko - aku rasa sbb drama ni ko berhenti tesl kot,join TEKA - good choice), syahda...kak umi...sape lagi...dh tak ingat dh...drama tu buat kat bilik angsana...

rewind a few days back before the drama took place.
his friends to him.

"apo kono ko ni nal? buloh kosong ekau poie bakar 'an??"

"anak den nak...sekolah eh ado buek drama...nak kono pakai..."

"gilo ekau ni nal, ghayo lambek laie...ekau dh bakar lomang kosong!"

in his effort to make the lemang more realisitic, betul2 ada kesan dh kena bakar/masak, he, not only went out and search for the buluh, but he made the effort to put it under the fire as well, so as to make it appeared authentic.

i did not know about this. i came to know about it...when my sister told me, a few weeks after the drama. 

... ... ... terima kasih yah, susah payah bakar lemang kosong untuk aye.
