Old rattan furniture covered with faded cushions....
Rush of cool fresh air from the nearby....
Ease of plucking rambutan from the window....
Sound of birds and insects that could easily lull me to slumber....
Faded photos on the wall....
Sound of the old wall clock ticking....
Occasional crowing of a rooster....
Saya suka rumah Mak Ngah.
Saya rasa tenang di sini.
Teringat zaman kanak2 saya dan langsung buat saya tersenyum :).
Ini Mak Ngah. Dia dah berusia 75 tahun. Jodoh bersama suami tidak panjang. Mak Ngah telak menyaksikan 2 dari 4 anak lelaki dia dikebumikan.
Sekarang Mak Ngah tinggal seorang diri di rumah ini.

kirim salam kat Mak Ngah
she must be one tough and hard working lady kan..
Hihi.. thanks doc :)
DeleteYep, these were shot entirely in b&w mode. Actually before deciding on that, I made comparisons and as it turned out the b&w seemed that much more, how shall I say, poignant :)
InsyaAllah. And yes, she is.... but nowadays I kesian kat dia cause dia sekarang jalan kena bertongkat....
'colourful' indeed. time stood still. memories kept intact. lonely yet serene.
ReplyDeleteoh di mana..akan ku cari...

Thanks Arju. Love your 'colourful' descriptions of these images, which I really hold dear to my heart.
DeleteYes, there is that feel of serenity and loneliness. Yet it is so calm there. I rasa sgt tenang di sana.
May your quest be fruitful one day...
Tentu Mak Ngah sunyi sendirian..
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing the same too PT. I hope her two sons visit her often...
