Saturday Umar went on his frist field trip. Err… probably the first from his Sekolah Rendah. I remember him going to McDonald’s and Gardenia factory, but I think that was all during his kindie years.
Anyway, the trip was organized by UiTM’s Physics Faculty for his class specifically. Camp Genius namanya… keh keh… The initial plan was to go to Petrosains in July but it was cancelled and replaced with this one to Bukit Cherakah.
(When we agreed to let him go to Petrosains back in June, Umar had a nice time pushing that fact to his sister’s face. Adik of course took the bait and was considerabky upset that she can’t go too. Umar kept saying, “Ini trip sekolah lah, Ti. For orang-orang besar aje…” dengan lagaknya.
It turned out, Elsa went first in August !! Kah kah ! Umar was super bengang when after the trip, Elsa memulangkan paku buah kerasnya with, “Um.. saya dah pegi pun Petrosains. When are you going, Um ?” Padan muko … he he…)
Anyway, Dan went to the school to pick him up. When Umar got out of the bus, he told his Babah, “Bah ! There is somebody who wants to meet you, Bah ! Come here !”
Dan was a bit surprised, wondering who could possibly want to meet him when Umar returned with a classmate.
“Bah, this is my best friend Daniel…” Introduced our son. Daniel, said Dan, looked just like Umar, with his spiky hair and fair complexion. The only difference is that he is slimmer.
“Hai …. !” Said Daniel with a wave. Not the lambai-lambai type, but the one wher he moved his palm in an arc, making a semicircle.
Dan returned his cheerful Hai before the boy added, “I am Umar’s bestfriend..” Dan for some reason got a bit segan and gave a conscious, “That is nice…..”
He he… apalah Babah ni.
Not knowing what to say (according to him because he was struck by how much alike they both are.. yelah tuh…), Babah asked, “So is Umar naughty in class ?”
“Oh… as naughty as I am…” He he… patutle korang ni bestfriend. Cara cakap pun sama. Cute.
Then he cemented Dan’s suspicions on how very similar they are by asking , “Do you want to meet my mother ? She is over there…” He he…. Tahap merepek sama je ngan my Um.
Sadly though the super shy and apparently hidung-less Umar’s father replied “Errr….. no… It’s okay…. Just kirim salam okay ?” If it was me, I would have marched over to her and strike up a friendship straight away. I do not know why grown men could get spooked with the prospect of meeting someone new.
Anyway, that night we went out for dinner. In the car, Umar of course regaled us of the things that happened during the trip. From his stories, the trip was deemed a raving success. There were peacocks and bunny rabbits, and Explorace (macam Amazing Race only they called it Explorace), and paddy fields and Taman 4 musim and what nots.
According to him, “Beessstt sangat Mummy !!”
Suddenly we heard a few slapping sounds and Umar went “Auuwww…. !!!” I looked behind and saw Elsa raining blows on Umar. “Eh ! Awatnya ni ? Elsa ! Stop !!”
“Dia marah saya because I had fun, Mummy….” Said Umar. I looked at my daughter in shock. “Elsa.. you went to Petrosains kan ? You went there alreadykan ? Umar tak jadi pegi Petrosains so dia pegi this trip lah… Why are you hitting him ?”
“But it wasn’t as much fun as Umar punya…” She complained. Err… there is nothing anybody could do about that, okay.
A few minutes after that, I heard a familiar sound coming from the back seat and saw Elsa hitting her brother again. Umar just took it in. “Bukit Cherakah, ye….” She said. Geram sungguh dia dengan abang dia.
I looked at my daughter in awe, in shock and a hoard of other feelings before ordering her to stop.
What is this ?

It's called sibling rivalry where one child wants to top up the other child so they can have the top spot in the family.
It's healthy competition, so long as nobody get killed or maimed...:P
Dear Anon, thank you for reminding me of that but I do feel that it is a bit extreme... He he... And what u said is true... let there be no lost limbs... Hmm
