Reminiscing

I was on MC (again!) yesterday. Kali ni kena flu pulak. Really la! Nampak sangat dah tuanya..sikit2 sakit, sikit2 demam. Little D yg bawak this flu bug back from the nursery OK je, boleh melompat kat playground lagi. And there i was yesterday terbaring kat rumah and every part of my body ached. And....ada orang tu kan...('asymmetrical faced chipmunk') sampai hati balik ke L0ndon nun tak bercalling2 dgn kita dulu! Btw, Esah Ju-On really tormented me and suruh i masak.Dahla i ni tak reti masak besar2an kecuali nasi lemak itupun mentah but sib baik dapat diselamatkan within the time the rombongan makcik2 took to sampai my place. Tapi sorry la, ayam tu my maid goreng terlebih garingnya so macam makan tali raffia kena kunyah lebih 40kali. Next year can come again to my place but i order nasi beriani je la ye..tak berani i nak undertake such a HUGE project again..

While i was watching daytime tv yesterday, sempat la tengok entah apa program kat astro ria pasal this ball for debutantes. Aiyo!! So pretentious la these Malaysians! But fair enough, amma appa are loaded and bila lagi nak parade in ball gowns and berimaginasi diri berada di Vienna kan?

When i was in the upper 6th form doing my A-Levels kat negera benggali putih tu, we all had to take up a crash course in ballroom dancing. Why i call it crash course because lagi 2 bulan nak attend this ball baru la kelas tu dimulakan..and i tell you, it was compulsory, 2 or 3X /week. Every year the school would organise this ball...satu sebelum Christmas break and another one during summer term.

There were 2 other Msians during that year, one boy, one girl. Of course sebagai pompuan yg paling we all paranoid sekali was kalau kita org takde partner nak menari masa kat class tu. L being the only boy had to be fair and divide his time fairly kat we all dua org. If it's not your turn, pandai2 lah ko nak pi grab sesapa. With me memang i akan grab mana2 jantan yg dalam my maths class ke, bio class ke...janji sesapa yg sanggup jadi pak sanggup. But for us yg vertically challenged ni, it turned out not to be too bad sebabnya kalau jantan yg ada masalah yg sama and susah nak dapat minah saleh yg pendek dari diaorg, memang sasaran dia org ni minah2 asians. But i remembered during the first ever class, i main punya panik gila bila the teacher said, OK, grab your partner. I was soooo worried of being left without a partner that i quickly grabbed the first guy yg lalu depan i, literally grabbed! I have not seen him before, tak tau pun kewujudannya but desperate punya pasal kan.. I stuck to him like a barnacle, memang muka mamat tu sampai sekarang i ingat bagaimana terkejut badaknya dia.

We were taught the waltz, quick step and satu lagi tak ingat dah. I was born with two left feet OK..ajar la banyak mana kelas, i would never get it right. That's one reason why i would never take up aerobic classes..yg dancing tu baru kaki je, aerobic campur tangan sekali, sudah! Coordination semua berterabur.

After attending 4-5 classes, i perasan yg partner i maintain ngan sorang from my Maths class ni. Bila the teacher said, 'find a partner..' and mesti dia akan cari i punya..and of course la, kalau org dah cari takkan ko nak lari pulak kan....

OK cerita kena bersambung di lain masa...hehe. Nak balik, sian Baby X demam kat rumah.

P/S Utk org yg dah balik ke negara benggali putih itu, selepas makan, tidur, berak dan sewaktu dgnnya, sila hapdate ye.
