Anak mak....
Mak called tonight....
Mak: Hello….
Me: Hello mak…
Mak: What are u doing?? Adik has gone for her night class and abah accompanied her. So, i`m alone tonight (Hmmmm.....why do I have that funny feeling that that's not the ACTUAL reason she called, I mean I'd just called her during the weekend).
Me: Oh ok… Everything ok mak?? The cats been behaving?? (As usual the cats will be our opening mukadimmah)
Mak: Yeah…. Nino (abah`s gay cat) is somewhere entertaining himself. Astro (aka The Hustler) hasn`t come back yet. Out there chasing the female cats as usual.
Me: (pause)
Mak: Errrr….. remember that guy Cik N wanna introduce to you?? (Oh yeaahhhh!!!! Here comes the BOMB) I gave Cik N your hp number. Her son W will be calling you to fix the date.
Me: Huh…. What??? Why can`t the guy call me himself?? (What a bugger!!! Worth it ke??)
Mak: He`s busy…. Flying off everywhere….. last week to Australia, this week Iran…. ( Yeah… the hell like i`m here lepaking wagging my tail ka???? ) Some more he doesn`t know you, so he`s shy ( wujud lagi ke shy guys zaman ni??? )
Me: Mak…. If he`s sooo busy all the time, and i`m busy too, u think it`ll work ke??
Mak: Meet him first laaaa… But he can only go out at night coz daytime he`s working (like i`m not meh??? )
Me: I`m osso working what….. I just got home at 7.30pm today
Mak: Ye laaa.. I know… I know….
Me: Ok laaaaa…. I go meet him (kibar bendera putih).
Mak: Ehhhh…. Remember that baju you just made at that tailor ??
Me: Which one?? So many baju la…
Mak: Like kebaya one…. With that tight wavy long skirt. Dark colour. You`re fair, so you`ll look fairer in darker clothes.
Me: Mak…. That`s my baju kerja laaaaa…. Where got tight?? (starting to get pissed off)
Mak: But quite shapely kan?? Wear that one laaaa…
Me: Mak….. that`s too formal. I wear it for work.…
Mak: Well, don`t tell me you`re gonna wear slacks and blouse. Shabby je…. I osso go out with that kind of baju. Formal only if got labuci, lip lap stones and all…
Me: (grrrr….. irritated) Maaakkkk…. I`ll decide myself what to wear okkk??? (Controlling my voice. Nanti tak pasal2 jadi anak derhaka pulak) Depends on where i`m meeting him. Takkan kat pizza hut nak pakai baju lip lap.
Mak: Tahu laaaaaa…. But that baju looks nice, wear that one ….
Me: (Adooiiiiii…. Tolonggggg!!! Takkan la dah umur 31 pun mak yg nak pilihkan bajuuuuu). I`ll wear what I want…. Period.
Mak: I`m just suggesting ( No mak…. You are paksa`ing) Up to you la what you want to wear ( Can feel that reverse psychology tone…. The` if you don`t wanna ikut, i`ll be kecik hati` voice)
Me: Ok laaaaa… Ok laaaaaaa….. (but i`m definitely not gonna)
Mak: Okkkkk….. (mission accomplished). Good nite…
Me: Nite mak….
( Then stooped…. walked up to the wall…. and banged my head…. over and over again)
Mak: Hello….

See? Things are happening for you already.
:)
lol..
You've been buttoned :)
And the button is loose...
What?? What??? Nothing is happening la Hans. I`m frozen, stuck in a self-made igloo, too afraid to move, too afraid to stay still...
Mimi,
Hihi.. my Mak belum sampai that stage lagi. Although I think she'll get there pretty soon, considering my 29th birthday is just a couple days away.
How's your head? Got benjol after banging it on the wall?
Not just benjol la Yam.... can see stars, planet pluto, mars, the milky way, the black holeeeee.... haaa apa lagi...
Hi Mimi,
You are a clever playwright.
So how was the date? Come on spill the beans :)
Hi Mimi, so sorry I messed up your comment box. Because when it shows here that 'Page Not Displayed' and I tried again, I never thought it was coming out the first time. Oh GOd!
SF: Spill the beans??? Nahhhh.... no phone calls from him yet, or whoever supposed to call me.
Susan: It`s ok :) I guess i`m not the only one seeing stars, moon, pluto..... kekekekeke :P
uugghhh..there are STILL such things as the "fix-fix" date and stuff these days arrr? aiyohhh, like that very the susah wan worrr :P
btw, there are still shy guys around ler mimi :)
Cheers!!! :D
Baine: Of course got la. Esp with me yang sooo orthodox and old-fashioned ni.
Shy?? Talking about yourself aye??? Kekekekekeke...
