Banjarian
Last Saturday, there was big event in my house. In the
morning, my parent makes doa selamat for our new house and there have
engagement event for my beloved sister in the evening. At that day, many people
came such as neighbors, friends, aunties, nephews, and other relatives. All of
them come to give some help. We together cook the dish at surau that near to my house and it make the atmosphere become
happening. I still remember about one incident that happen during I make gubahan bunga for my sister’s hantaran, one of my auty which is
banjarian was asked me, she said:
“Napa diulah?”
I am not answering anything, but I wonder, Haaa…? What is
that?? So after that you know what I am doing? I just smile at her.. hehe..
(^_^)
Actually the meaning in bahasa malayu is “buat apa tu?” haha.. it is so different
right? i also learn another word at that day, such as:
Berbah stumat (tidur sekejap)
Guring (baring)
Haloi (halus)
Besides that, I also learn about how to make one of
banjarian traditional kueh which is “wadai kepeng”. The taste is so delicious!
I like it very-very much and until today I still remember the taste. Actually,
this traditional kueh have it symbolic. Usually this kueh will make for
celebrate any happy event such as kenduri
kahwin, engagement day, eid
fitri/adha and so on. It is very suitable to make as a dessert.
Truly speaking, I am quite sad because I did not able to
speak and understand banjar language.
It is because my father only speaks in banjar
when we back to his village. So, my sibling and I will not really understand
what our relatives said if they speak by using fully banjar language. Thus, it makes us become silent and only listen to
them. Even I am not fluent in that language, but I can understand certain word
and still learn about it by asking my father. So, at least I have certain word
that I can use when I speak with my relatives.
