Pucuk ubi celah baju..

Packing.. unpacking.. packing.. unpacking..

Never like the task. Never. Baik masa nak balik Tanah Malaya or masa nak balik ke sini. Selalunya only when it come to another 2 more days, barulah "feeling" tu datang. Bukan tak seronok especially when we're leaving for Malaysia but it just I don't like seeing all those bags, scissor, sellotapes, boxes etc berterabur sana sini. Futhermore.. bila you start awal.. chances of having extra KILOss for your luggage is too high. Well, at least that is how I take it.

But, kali ni packing masa nak balik ke negara Pasir Berdengung ni memang Ibu totally tak ada mood. Mood memang jauuuhhhhhh ke tengah Laut Cina Selatan. Maybe sebab condition Ayah yang tangan masih bersimen, maybe itu, maybe ini.. nak meninggalkan orang yang kita sayang di sini.. huhhhh..

So, kali ni Cik Asben yang ambik alih tugas Ibu. Or at least, most of it. Makanya, for the first 4 boxes, I totally didn't know apa yang Cik Asben dan smuggle masuk kotak or how he packed it. Redha je la thus untung laa kalau ada orang nak tolong kan kan. FYI, kali ni we have in total of 4 bags and 6 boxes. Then plus 1 bag orang berkirim barang weighing 6 kg and 1 more box.. also orang kirim weighing 5 kg.

Tapi nak tak nak kena ambik tau jugaklah for the rest of the things. Especially those yang mustahak tu. 30kg per person, cukup la kan.

Well, ingatkan all dah went smoothly. Only when..

Timbang punya timbang.. our weight was in total of 155 kg (okey la tu kan) whereas hat yang dua orang berkirim tu memang kira extra la. Terus call ke kawan yangs sama naik flight dengan kami. Unfortunately, AirLankan only grand us 30 kg max per person. Aduhai.. apa nak buat dengan the extra of 11 kg ni?

So, at last terpaksalah call tuan punya barang. In case we might be charged for extra luggage. Setakat bawak meggi (as they claimed) and paying extra for it.. sungguh tak berbaloi.

But.. ada but lagi.. pucuk paku Ibu pulak lupa nak pack. Kotak pulak semua dah seal. And this was how all my pucuk ubi ended to be in celah-celah baju kami. Mujur it were nicely packed in aluminium foil. Otherwise jika guna newspaper saja.. I rather not take it together. Baju might jadi lembap and all those black ink melekat at your baju (kena pulak baju cerah), please laaaa.. Ibu cukup "lemah" when it comes to the unwanted smell. Tak pasal-pasal je nanti boleh naik angin pulak..

Just FYI, as being predicted.. the extra of 11 kg yang hat orang berkirim tu memang kami kena bayar extra. RM92 per kg. At first Cik Asben try to negotiate untuk upgrade our tickets to business class (they are giving 50 kg on business class) but unfortunately all business class tickets were sold. Cuma nasib kami baik (mungkin sebab Ibu lebih senyum sikit time tu.. so the perasan kan) we were given discount. So instead of 11 kg only 8 kg were took count.

Dah jadi macam tu.. bayar je la kan.. Terus message ke kawan.. sorang bayar for 4 kg. Lebih kurang.. halal je la.

 

And that wrap-up Ibu's story for this entry. Thus.. ada la rezeki kami makan ikan sembilang salai with pucuk ubi. Cuma kali ni pucuk ubi kami tak masuk kotak tapi dok celah baju-baju. Sikit punya bertuah laa..

Until then..

Self-reminder..
Tu la.. lain kali pack your things earlier.. kan the dot dot dot dah kena tinggal.. AGAIN!!!
