we left B.A at around 11.30 am, soon after Papa patah balik and ordered us to pack our stuff. he was planning to go to Melawati and get us nasi lemak for brekkie but turned around at the junction near our place. apparently he saw a few trees tumbang at the abandoned houses in jalan 9 (we are in jalan 7).
tanpa rasa panic, we took our time and pack our stuff. me, as usual i packed the most. well, i am due soon and since fitri and i was planning to stay at taman ta*r over the raya hols, so untuk menyenangkan i...anyway, papa, mama and jojo packed for only the weekend...they are staying at mak teh ida's house in bukit jelu*tong...
reason i am at taman ta*r is easy, apart from fitri coming home tomorrow is because AP is only 5 mins away...so kalau dah nak bersalin, sangat dekat. if i ikut my family, its going to be hassle for them to send me there...dah la jauh..
somehow i am sadden by the whole tragedy. not just because of the lives lost but also the fact it happened (almost) at our backyard.
apparently the slide started in the bukit in front rows depan our house...(bayangkan ada satu row depan rumah)...i pun tak sedar that it happened there until i saw the news this afternoon...
it really is near our house!
we have no idea if we would have to be evacuated and eventually, abandon the house...so far, no news. i think most of the residents there dah pndah or at least keluar, from their home for the time being...
since i am preggie, and menunggu hari, of course i can't do any coverage. but sometimes, i do wish i could. it happened at my own backyard...and i would gain such valuable experience...but i understand. kalau buat kerja and tetiba nak beranak, bukankah jadi lagi satu masalah?
its raining now, and the unconfirmed number of casualties has reached 7 people. i pray more would be saved. rain is going to make the rescue mission harder, even the soil will erode more. even tadi i heard air mula naik kat the area (underground water is the cause of the slide). *sigh*..
i'm touched by family members and friends who called to ask about our situation. alhamdulilah so far we are safe. and diligently keeping updates over the net and tv...
my pak tham is still there, helping us and the media (bernam*a) w the updates.
Pak tham, apparently bersara from being a journo is not something forever ya?
