I ...Hi..hi..my vocab is getting richer and richer.<br /><br />I think one of the reason why fathers do not really into ginjating probably because there is not much in their posession (emas permata e.g.) to ginjat in the first place. Another logical reason is ginjatisation culture doesn't look cool for men :) I guess.DrSamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00039481084124249656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9776295.post-92049233091028690512009-05-11T11:20:00.000+01:002009-05-11T11:20:00.000+01:00Dr Sam, I wonder why only mothers do the 'ginjatin...Dr Sam, I wonder why only mothers do the 'ginjating' and not fathers? Yes, i gather that most of our mothers at some point had to do that. I think Mak lost some of her jewelleries too, but I think she had a rapport with the kedai pajak gadai - she cld take them back - on loan- when she needed them for kenduri or impt occassions. <br /><br />Oh dont worry abt crediting me - I think the word ginjat was widely used. let's say the ginjating culture was widespread. Ginjatisation was rampant when money was thin on the ground.<br /><br />alas, my mak and your mak were amongst the ginjaters! :)Kak Tehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00856864485917633260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9776295.post-35407206106622894212009-05-11T11:15:00.000+01:002009-05-11T11:15:00.000+01:00BTW, firt time hearing the word 'ginjat'.

Your entry had really touched me because I remember my mom used to do the same, 'ginjating' the pawn shop during the hard time - some are her precious 'emas pusaka' from her beloved parent. She never got a chance to get them back. <br /><br />To all the mothers out there, happy mother's day.

Bayangkan ibu kita dulu menggiling rempah, tumbuk beras, - well I remember mine did. Sekarang dah senang. Yes, we look back and think of all these hardwork and appreciate our maks. I wonder too if my children who see me ordering takeaways and sitting typing at my desk to earn a living as hard work. Hard work here comes in the form of bringing them up, the waiting up, the challenges we face as modern mums...so, that evens out, I guess.<br /><br />Hope you hadf a wonderful day too.Kak Tehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00856864485917633260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9776295.post-28979120075990128982009-05-11T08:56:00.000+01:002009-05-11T08:56:00.000+01:00What an extraordinary woman!!
