Ada la one time tu saya pegi Sekinchan. Rasa adventurous masa tu. Nak cari kampung/jeti nelayan melayu. For some photographic excursions. Once in a while stopped and tanya locals kat situ. Last-last ade sorang pak cik kat satu gerai makan tunjuk arah. I was excited... :)
Jetinya kecik je. Masa tu tengah gerimis sikit, which means the clouds looked gorgeous, beropol2 dan kelabu. I like. Bot-bot kecik nelayan berlabuh. Kecik tapi quite busy with activites. Then a fisherman came and pour his catch on the cement floor.
Then ader a couple of them tengah gulung jaring.
Dua nelayan sedang naik ke bot. Nak ke laut agaknya.
You see, it doesn't take much for me to be all excited about photography... just simple everyday activities... being there at a small jetty ... could really make my day. I suppose it was the appreciation of something I had never seen up close.. perhaps it was the sikap terbuka orang di situ that made me feel accepted...
Or perhaps it was these kids !!! :) :)
Tetiba datang la satu geng bebudak, ceria dan ready to do some fishing. Cuti sekolah masa tu. Punya la saya gembira. The thoughts of having the opportunities to take some photos while they were having fun was just too much to contain... haha... And to capture the joy on the kids faces was suddenly the objective for me that day. And I immediately thanked Allah for this pleasant unexpected peluang.. :)
Each time they cracked jokes and laugh, I laughed with them :)
Each time one of them caught a fish, I quickly snapped... and tried to capture those precious split seconds moments. Aaaa.. the joy of being kids...
Ha... ni umpan yg bebudak ni pakai... :)
Bila tengok budak-budak ni, tetiba saya teringat geng masa kecik.... Idit, Nahar, Haizat dan Hamidi... dorang ni la kawan-kawan baik saya... we're real tight... tiap petang mesti main sama... malam ngaji sama... belajar main kompang sama-sama [bapak Idit ni ader kumpulan kompang]... Mereka la ajar saya lastik cicak pakai getah dan lidi buluh [mula-mula saya ngeri dan kesian kat cicak-cicak tu.. tapi lepas a few successful shots, saya jadi sadis... siap pi bakar cicak yg separuh mati tuh macam bakar satay... kids can be so cruel.. hehe]... yang ajar saya main layang-layang, guli, konda kondi, main yang baling selipar ke arah a stack of daun terup [tah apa ke nama permainan tu], gasing [gasing aku selalu terbelah... bila mintak mak duit nak ganti gasing baru, mak marah, 'Berapa kali nak beli gasing nihhhh!! Kalau tak tau main jangan la main!!'... pas tu saya duduk je tengok kawan-kawan saya tu main... kawan merayau hingga entah ke mana [kalau mak tau, habis kena ikat kat sofa dengan tali rapiah]...
Kat mana korang semua sekarang ni? Macam mana rupa korang agaknya? Apa-apa pun saya doakan kamu bertiga sentiasa dalam lindungNya, dimurahkan rezeki olehNya dan gembira disamping keluarga.. Amin...
