A case of gila bayang

I telah mendapat panggilan daripada Hajah Esah half an hour ago dgn soalan 'bila ko nak hapdate?' Amboi boi Hajah sorang ni, walaupun terlepas daripada mengahwini anak raja sorang tu, her high and mightyness masih terserlah. Tapi terimaksihlah hajah esah kerana sudi bercalling dari London nu....dan setelah i berhempas pulas di toilet tadi dan tambahan pula di luar sana hujan and tak boleh nak balik lagi i pun akan menjalankan titah baginda (tapi kalu aku bubuh gambar je lagi mesti nak kena maki kan??)

Dua tiga menjak ni aku bercuti dari menengok client kanak2 riang ku therefore menimbun dgn paper work dan bermesyuarat lah ku dgn gamaknya..kalo dah duduk depan computer itu, i tell you it's not easy to really concentrate on what i'm doing..sikit2 nak tengok, oi org London dah bangun ke, yg duk tepi Jln tun Razak tu dah breakfast ke so on and so forth. i sometimes feel quite uncomfortable surfing the net during work time because there was once when i was 'caught' by the Pusat Komputer.

Ring ring..

me: hello

org tu: tu Makcik Kiah ke? Makcik tengah surf website apa??

Me:er...er...tv programme (padahal aku tengah surf website hollywood stars entah camna termasuk website yg pay per view tu..)

Org tu: Makcik, tolong off internet dan computer sekarang..

Me: Eh kenapa (dah gabra dah masa ni, ingatkan matilah aku kena tindakan disiplin berloocahan di masa kerja..boleh terbayang nama aku masuk meeting lembaga senate)

Org tu: Makcik tengah menyebar virus ni. habis computer kami kat bawah ni jem..

Cis! Ingatkan apa tadi..but i tell you, berpeluh gak armpit origami aku (pinjam word Bella)

I don't have any issues to put forward therefore i pun akan meminjam dari Esah punya topic. Issu payung?? Neh..i never buy any, i always get free ones dari car insurance la, petrol station lah..Gulatis la..You all ingat tak dulu ada payung yg kertas minyak tu..is it? Yg rangka dia kayu and baunya punya la kuat. I really wanted one of those payungs but sampai la ni tak dapat. Do you think if we use that payung in guruh petir, will the risk of lightning striking us greatly reduced since it has no metal whatsoever?

Let's talk about the three letter durjana word i.e. fat. In the last 10 years, i can only remember three times yg berat i di bawah 63 kg:

1. Masa i nak kahwin because i asyik demam..ye la..nervous padahal aku gedik jugak nak kahwin tu.

2. Lepas i beranak because all the fat came out with Little D i think.

3. Masa i tengah gila bayang with one guy. (No, not my chenta agung, it was after i got dumped and went on a dating spree). Anyway, i am embarrassed to admit that i placed and ad in one of the penpal website and this guy answered the ad. He was working for an oil and gas company and at that time he was posted abroad (where, i shall not revealed because org minyak kat Msia ni ramai...nanti tak pasal i kantoi). He was witty and funny. The virtual world menyaksikan email kami pergi balik antara dua negara ini (cewah). I think what attracted me to him was the fact that his English was really good, better than any of the guys i've known (and he wasn't even a lawyer :) Memang aku ni bunyi macam minah kekwat je kan..tapi masa tu i was fresh from UK, cakap pun berabuk cam Hajah Esah kita tu...and then i was having a hard time adjusting life back in Msia. Most of the times i felt like i was invisible, looking into other people's lives and i'm not part of it etc.

Anyway, after 3 months berbalas2 wittiness, he came back for a week's leave and we planned to meet up. I think masa ni memang i betul syok kat mamat ni..makan pun tak lalu. I don't have to eat, all i needed to do then was to read his email printouts over and over again and i sengih sorang2 (mandi masih basah because kalau tak basah tu memang i tak mandi..kan i ni ada penyakit takut air).

I was really nervous..! First time i dengar suara dia dlm phone..amboi machonya! The day we were supposed to meet up, he came to my apartment to pick me up. Apparently he just got back from a game of golf. The first time i laid my eyes on him..alamak! It looked as if he'd been enjoying the game a bit too much..kah kah..gelap sikit mamat ni. And doing what i do, i am very observant of people's oral facial region..and there was another alamak. The alignment of his gnashers was a bit 'challenged'...tapi takpe, this day and age, nothing that can't be fixed. I guessed i have already liked him from his emails and it didn't matter one bit how he looked like. (He could have looked like an extra from Planet of the apes for all i care). Bila jalan dgn dia i rasa OK la..this time round i'm the beauty and not the beast (ex chenta agung aku dulu tu hensem..masuk iklan tv semua. Aku ni kalo ada org tawar masuk iklan mungkin iklan sabun basuh ke...)

The rain has stopped. It takes an hour to get home. There are fur babies to walk, human baby to nenen and dinner to cook. Therefore Esah, seteruk mana pun gerunnya i kat titah you, i kena chow dulu and sambung esok..
