Pantun BBQ ....

"Sebakul manggis untuk tetamu

Rendang, limau purut limau kasturi

Tersimpul manis tersenyum malu
Kenyang perut suka hati"

Dari arang jadi bara

Dari bara jadi abu

Makan se orang tidak berselera

Hati terkenang pada diri mu

Kipas-kipas api membakar arang

Basah arang api terpadam

Kisah yang lepas usah di kenang

Kisah sekarang jadikan teman Pasang pelita bersumbukan benang

Pelita menyala berkelipan cahaya

Terpandang mata, hati pun sayang

Di serata dunia terkenang jua

Pada tulang ada daging

Mari di makan bersama-sama

Rasa sayang mata menjeling

Hati berkenan, jodoh tiada.

Ah, musim bbq telah tiba.....bau aroma daging dan ayam panggang dari laman jiran menusup kalbu.
Tiba-tiba LiL memanggil, "Abang....datang...cepat!". She was in the bedroom. But it was only 7pm....I thought to myself, "Buang tabiat ka si LiL nie....baru kol 7 petang dah panggil aku masuk bilek tidur nih".
"Tu bang....the neighbours sana tu dok pasang bara .....and that one sebelah sana tu dah bakar2 dah tu....patutlah dari tadi macam ada bau kan....".
That was on Thursday night.
Dan aku pun memasang hasrat.....berdendam! hehehehe

So semalam (Friday), aku ajak LiL and the boys to Emirates Mall - nekad untuk mencari BBQ set! We got the one yang guna arang rather than a gas aided type CheaperMore original lah kan....!
We also masukkan satu beg besar charcoal ke dalam trolley. Then we took another trolley to fill it up with two garden tables and ten chairs - BBQ bersama kawan2 lagi best la kan...hehehe.
Before we left, we realized we needed one more trolley - for daging, lamb, prawns, chicken and some veges. While driving back, I called a few friends with families - they declined because ada raya open house invitations else where. Called the Bujang friends from Arabian Ranches - they said, BBQ punya pasal, they will come!

Waduhhh, untuk pasang the BBQ set tu satu hal la pulak. Tercabar sungguh kesabaran dan kejuruteraan skill pak idham! In the end, I gave up! Amirul however persisted and sorted out all the parts, screws and nuts. He only came to ask me for help when he needed some brawn work....all the brain work was done by him!

Bravoooo Amirul, caya lah!!

For effect, we pasang also pelita minyak tanah ....macam survivor series gitu. Kebetulan, our back yard is sandy - so we did have a beach like effect.
Tepuk amai amai

belalang kupu-kupu

Bergambar ramai-ramai

Nanti malam mimpi susu!

Susu lemak manis

santan kelapa muda

Alahai, jangan lah nangis

walaupun tidur tu sorang2 jer!

hehehe...gurau usik orang-orang dok bujang tu....!

It was fun!

I am sure we will have more bbq......in our back yard

Sedap makan-makan

Berselera....walaupun hanya nasik putih dengan kicap!
