Kecek Kelate

One of my colleague walked passed by me just now by saying "Ain tak terbit?"... then I answered him " I tak tubik (for lunch)". He was kind of terkejut... "Eh you pandai kecek kelate?" Then I said, "pandai".

.

Once upon a time, in 1978 ~ 1982, I lived in Kelantan. I was in Primary 4 in 1978. I studied in S.R.K Zainab 1, Kota Bharu. What a sweet memories in Kelantan. I liked my life in Kelantan and I could also converse in bahasa kelate - kecek kelate. Until now.. I still kecek kelate... with Angah.. It was fun and enjoyable to be able to kecek kelate actually. Most of the words that I used, I could still remember... tapi ada jugak yang dah lupa... Once a while, me and Angah do kecek-kecek kelate when we meet or when we talked over the phone.

I still remember, I suka make (makan) kepok lekor.. sedap.. tak macam sekarang... kurang ikan lebih tepung...

After 1982 (I was in Form 2), we moved to Seremban. That was when I sekolah KGV in Seremban and people in school called me Cik Mek Molek!

Oh ya... I pun suka makan kuih cik mek molek.. very sweet and sedap tau...

Zarina, let's kecek kelate...
