| will i am: Raya <b>di Klang</b> Posted: 05 Sep 2012 10:29 PM PDT On Sunday, dragged Cyan to church with us again. His dad's out of town on a business trip again, so brought him out to keep out of his mum's hair for a few hours. He was quite well-behaved that day, but perhaps that was because he was busy devouring a box of Honey Stars. For lunch, we went to Pasta Zanmai at Paradigm Mall. Wanted to have ramen at first, but with the kid in tow, better to have more variety. Peculiar that the kid loses his appetite during holidays and weekends. Food's the last thing on his mind. Saja nak main. I ordered a mini set of chicken teriyaki pasta and scallop pizza. The kid loved the sweetish chicken, but he only ate the pizza crust. Being the first day of Raya and all, things were a bit hectic. Our orders came at a very staggered pace. The baked cod fish that was supposed to take twenty minutes of preparation time actually arrive before my pasta. They even ran out of teapots and started serving warm tea in large carafes. I asked them to serve my coffee at the start of my meal, but that didn't materalize. After I ate, and asked them to serve my coffee and dessert, only the coffee materialized (which was quite strong by the way). The dessert arrived after we enquired another two more times, but it was worth the wait-- green tea ice cream on a crepe, served with diced strawberries, peaches and kiwi. Yummy! And yeah, one of the twinky waiters was yummy too!
Did some shopping after that. Cyan went berserk at the Marks and Spencers kiosk, wanting us to buy his favourite chocolate digestives and jam biscuits. Mum also went to Tesco, but the selection of fruits was very bad. After a whole lot of coaxing, finally managed to get the kid to take a pic with the B.B.Q. Plaza dragon mascots. Before going home, stopped at Giant BK5 to get some fruits (mum mistakenly bough grapefruits instead of oranges XD) and ice cream for Gratitude's Raya party. Managed to nap for half an hour before freshening up for the dinner party. Arrived in Klang at about 7:30pm. Ten of us at the table-- Grat, SK, CK, MK (nice to meet you), Evann, Sun, TZ, Grat's mum, my mum and I. The host slaved for two days making old cucumber soup (super sedap with dried squid), curry chicken (very Indian and spicy), chili crabs (specially ordered by SK, but we wanted meat crabs instead of flower crabs! :P), kale with superior sauce, blanched chicken (smooth and yummy), mui choi pork (a bit too sweet and salty for my liking), stir-fried nai pak and served with oil rice (sinful sekali!). TZ and Sun ate the least, diet konon! XD. For dessert, we all had a big helping of gossip at the dinner table. Of course that was accompanied by Coca-cola, Chardonnay, dessert wine, vanilla ice cream with homemade strawberry sauce, cured meats and sausages from France and a cheese platter even! If he had not burnt the pie, there would have been something extra to stuff our tummies with! Ended the night green tea and we left poor Grat with two basins full of rubbish and dirty plates and crockery!
Ever the perfect host, he would not let us do any cleaning although the pile of plates in his sink threatened to topple. Thanks again for having us! Although I missed the Raya open houses, this Raya dinner practically makes up for it! |
| Khalid Samad: Banjir <b>di</b> Padang Jawa <b>Klang</b> Posted: 27 Aug 2012 07:51 PM PDT Kami sekeluarga kembali ke rumah selepas makan tengah hari di rumah bapa saudara saya, Dato Zaidan pada petang hari raya kedua. Tiba di rumah jam sudah pukul 3 lebih. Bergegas menunaikan solat dan saya pun mengambil peluang untuk berehat seketika. Tiba-tiba pada jam 5 petang saya menerima sms dari ketua kampung Padang Jawa Klang. Beliau mengucapkan Selamat Hari Raya dan memaklumkan bahawa "Kawasan Sungai Rasa, Taman Keris dan Karupiah banjir kilat serius". Setelah meminta PA saya yang sedang bercuti di Perak untuk menghubungi bilik gerakan MBSA, saya pun bertolak ke Padang Jawa. Saya difahamkan bahawa MBSA telahpun sedia maklum tetapi banjir berlaku di banyak tempat. Pada masa yang sama kakitangan hanya ada 10 orang. Yang lain bercuti. Saya berhubung dengan bilik gerakan dan diberitahu hanya 2 orang sahaja yang berada di kawasan Padang Jawa Klang. Saya singgah di Taman Keris dan melihat bagaimana paras air telahpun melimpahi tebing Sungai. Beberapa rumah dimasuki air dan penduduk sibuk menimba air. Mereka menegur saya, sempat mengucapkan Selamat Hari Raya lagi sambil berusaha membersihkan kawasan rumah mereka. Ada yang memberitahu bahawa ada ular yang telah hampir masuk ke rumah mereka apabila mula banjir! Seterusnya saya telah ke Taman Karupiah dan di situ hampir semua rumah dimasuki air. Penduduk sibuk menimba air keluar rumah. Ada yang mengadu peti ais rosak, permaidani rosak dan barang makanan pun turut rosak kerana ditenggelami air banjir. Setelah melihat keadaan di beberapa lorong, saya bersama seorang penduduk pergi ke sebuah restoran dan membeli makanan untuk mangsa banjir. Ada yang tidak sempat untuk memasak makan malam. Sambil menunggu makanan disediakan, saya ke Masjid Padang Jawa untuk solat Maghrib. Di Masjid saya bertemu dengan beberapa orang yang sedang mencuci kawasan anjung Masjid yang telah juga ditenggelami air! Sekembali saya ke restoran saya bertemu dengan Ketua Kampung dan pegawai ADUN Batu Tiga. YB Rodziah sendiri berada di Temerloh, balik kampung, maklumlah baru hari raya kedua. Mereka memaklumkan bahawa Taman Manimaran dan Kg. Air kuning juga memerlukan bantuan makanan. Saya terus memesannya dari pihak restoran dan akhirnya 110 nasi bungkus berlaukkan ayam dan sayur untuk mangsa banjir telah dapat disediakan. Seterusnya saya ke Kampung Air Kuning dan di situ juga hampir semua rumah dimasuki air. Pihak MBSA menyediakan khemah dan menguruskan lagi makanan tambahan untuk mereka dan juga untuk penduduk di Taman Manimaran yang diuruskan oleh pegawai YB Rodziah. Jam 12 saya pun sudah agak keletihan dan oleh kerana mereka tiba lewat sedikit berbanding saya, maka mereka menyatakan bahawa mereka akan uruskan selebihnya tanpa saya. Sebenarnya pihak kerajaan Negeri telahpun meluluskan bajet sebanyak RM 20 Juta untuk mengatasi masalah banjir di Sungai Rasau. Ini termasuklah pemasangan kunci air dan pembinaan rumah pam serta pembinaan kolam takungan baru. Saya difahamkan dahulu kolam takungan semula jadi terletak di kawasan di belakang I-City tetapi malangnya ianya telah dibangunkan dan ini di antara sebab berlakunya banjir. Malangnya, projek RM20 Juta yang telah diluluskan belum lagi dijalankan sepenuhnya. Saya akan mendesak JPS untuk menyegerakan projek ini. Pada masa yang sama saya akan juga berusaha untuk mendapatkan sedikit pampasan untuk penduduk yang terlibat, insyaAllah. WaLlahu 'Alam |
