Tok Ayah

This time I wanna talk about my tok ayah. Tok ayah is very entertaining. He loves to tell stories back when he was young. He has been through a lot. He is my hero :)

Kalau bersembang dengan dia, sampai esok pagi pun tak habis. It can start from you asking how he was doing. Contoh:

"Tok ayah apa khabaq? Sihat?"

"Anis ka? Ha, alhamdulillah la. Sihat. Anis sibuk ka lani?"

"Sibuk sikit tok ayah. Mintak maaf anis lama tak mai tengok tok ayah.."

"Tak pa la kalau sibuk. Anis dok keja kat company tu lagi ka?"

"Ya, tok ayah. keja kat situ lagi."

"Bapak tok ayah dulu ada business jugak. Tok ayah dok tolong dia meniaga dulu sebelum war.."

This is where it starts to be soooo looooogggg.... Tok ayah ibarat my personal history teacher.
Semua la dia crita kat aku. Dari dia kecik, pegi Siam, cakap Siam, British mai Malaya, Melayu kena tipu dengan British, Cina kena tipu dengan India, dia kena tipu dengan customer, his dad died, dia kawen dengan mak tok etc. And then setiap 5 minit nanti make sure that I am listening. "Anis?"

Aku pun menyahut la, "YA, NI DOK DENGAQ NI..."

Sambung cerita balik, "bla bla bla.. Siam.. bla bla bla... British...bla bla bla...anak haram (dia marah la ni)... bla bla bla...Melayu...bla bla bla.. Cina... bla bla bla.. India.."

Another 5 minutes, "Anis?

Sabar je la.

When he was still strong and working, he would, of course buy his own stuff. Now since he's old and tak larat, I would be his personal shopper.

"Hanis nanti tolong beli barang kat tok ayah."
Yes, the common line I always, always get when I go visit him.

Tok ayah's shopping list:
1. TISSUE GULUNG (toilet rolls) yang RM7 punya, boleh dapat 2 rolls.

2. COTTON BUDS
He loves cotton buds. Suka korek telinga, and then buang merata-rata.
Mak tok used to be so mad at him for doing that. Aku la jadi mangsa kena kutip cotton buds. Kalau boleh jual kati dah lama aku kaya.

3. SABUN MANDI
Tok ayah hanya layan LUX sahaja. Brand cap ayam tak main la. But then he said Lux made his skin dry (yeah, after 40 years of using it now only he realised). So he wanted to try other brands. So I bought Dove for him. He has been using it ever since :)

4. BRYLCREAM
He has been using Brylcream since as long as i can remember. Patutnya dia
yang jadi brand ambassador. He would explain it to me which one to get. "Anis beli yang kaler merah tau. Tak mau yang jenih lain. Beli yang besaq punya 2." Aku, "BAIKLAH TOK AYAH!" (aku bukan kurang ajar, tapi memang kena cakap kuat-kuat. Tok ayah dah tak brapa dengar skarang)

5. POWDER a.k.a BEDAK WANGI
Dulu masa arwah mak tok ada, and we were all back in Penang, tok ayah suka beli bedak gatai. You know, those kind of bedak yang you put when you have rash or something. I don't know why, but he kept buying that bedak, although no one in the house ada rash ke, gatai kat mana-mana ka. I don't know why. So now he has stopped buying it and started to get me to buy bedak wangi.
Tok ayah: Anis beli bedak wangi kat tok ayah tau. Yang Anis beli hari tu punya untuk baby. Tok ayah tak mau yang tu.
Aku: Ok tok ayah. Anis beli Enchanteur la kat tok ayah. Yang macam mak tok dok pakai dulu tu.
Tok Ayah: Tu bangsa apa tu?
Aku: Tu bangsa baguih punya tok ayah. Luaq negara punya.
Tok Ayah: Jantan punya ka pompuan punya.
Aku: (Dalam hati nak kata pondan. Tapi tak sampai hati) Jantan pon boleh, pompuan pon boleh, tok ayah. Dua-dua boleh pakai.
Lepas tu tok ayah diam. Diam tanda setuju ataupun redha je la..

6. MINYAK CAP KAPAK BOTOL PALING BESAR 2
Minyak Cap Kapak dengan tok ayah ibarat isi dan kuku. Tengok Minyak Cap Kapak, teringat kat tok ayah. Tengok tok ayah, teringat kat Minyak Cap Kapak. Aku rasa antara Minyak Cap Kapak dengan aku, tok ayah lebih kamcing dengan Minyak Cap Kapak. Begitu hebatnya penangan Minyak Cap Kapak..

So begitulah kisahnya tok ayah aku... there's a lot more to tell about him. Maybe I'll write it down in a different post :p

Thanks tok ayah for taking care of me, and loving me.
Anis sayang tok ayah :)

  9. Anis kene tambah :-

    (7) Tengok TV sambil 'pijak kaki'

    - Any channel bleh layan (kalo nak lagi best sambil tgk bola @ news)
    - Sambil pijak kaki kene layan story pasal world war (Nazi's, Kamikaze's, Stalin's tyranny, New World Order, Jews, fascist, racist etc)..usually kalo dah malas nak pijak buat2 tukar topik or turun bawah amek air..pehtu naik borak smule
    - Sambil pijak kaki pun bleh bukak cite politik, cemana Merdeka, siapa musuh negara and siapa the true unsung heroes

    * Byk nak story pasal Tok Ayah kita ni..but he's a true genious, humble and generous. Mudahan kita bleh buat dia happy selagi kita bernyawa.
