This video was shot on our way to the cow owner's place to witness the slaughter of Rayhana's "aqiqah" cow... The journey took us about half an hour through a long, narrow, winding road across paddy fields.
You see, in Ja's heartland, we have to go to the cow owner's place so that we can do the "akad" to buy the 1 out of 7 portions of the cow right from the owner himself (1 portion is between RM250-RM300 or maybe more, depending on the size of the cow.. ours is RM280). The way you do that is to hold the cow's rope handed by the owner and say something like "saya beli satu bahagian daripada 7 bahagian"... or so I thought what the owner asked me to say... hehe
Then, you pass the rope back to the owner and see how the cow is brought down, tied to a tree, handed a log or some kind of wood to serve as its pillow, before the Tok Imam come and massage its neck and later slaughter the cow within seconds.
Will have photos and videos of that later but for now... enjoy the video of our journey to the cow owner's place and how our conversation took place between me and Rayyan towards the end of the video.... see how Rayyan came up with this "cow's birthday party" phrase :)
(my English vocab don't come easy at times.. pasal tulaa.. salah ajar perkataan... and Rayyan sorta make a joke from the choice of word I use hehe...)
