Mr Gig is a metrosexual guy. It first dawned on me when we went to shop for barangan hantaran. For your information, i don't know him that well when i decided to marry him. Why? Let's call it a hunch that i knew he was not a serial killer, dater, women abuser etc. etc. or worse anak mak! Furthermore he was pleasing on the eye because at that time he was Mr July of this gym in Shah Alam. So you can imagine that then he had such pert derriere and flat tummy. Anyway, we wanted to shop for toilettries and he actually inquired the girl behind counter if that particular brand of facial wash has AHA...wulamak! Suffice it to say, if i were to run out of facial wash or scrub i would not hesitate to pinch his because they are certainly not sabun cap kapak.
I have no problem at all about MG being a metrosexual guy. Maybe i do complain once in a while that he takes the joy of my being a wife/woman from me. He isn't one of those husbands that would allow the wife to buy him clothes (if i'm being generous he'd rather have the money and go buy it himself) or even his underwear. But how many women out there can boast having a husband that doesn't mind shopping and with pleasure would traipse all over Klang Valley looking for a mere item? My two cousins (both whose husbands are the typical men) consult him on places to shop and he becomes their shopping companion quite often. He doesn't take it lightly when i express my need to have a so and so colour lipstick to go with a function and would happily go hunting with me for the perfect party outfit. He doesn't mind being seen with my handbag if i need to go to the loo (some friend's husbands would rather be seen dead) and i can happily dictate to him the size and design of underwear i need and he has no qualms about buying them for me without my presence.
Speaking of underwear, he has really nice ones, all the way from Mr Bush's. i often wonder why he has to spend so much for them (one of his can buy half a dozen of mine). Let me tell you they come in all shapes (and strings, oopss! hehe). This morning my question has been answered: I have run out of undies, they are either in the laundry basket or on the clothes line so i had to wear his. I had to beg and bribe him (with cheesecakes and coke) because he'd rather i go commando then stretch his undies (his exact words but i didn't care).
(i know a lot of people would rather not admit that they have had to or saja2 pakai their partner's underwear, but i know of five other couples who practise this)
Now i know why he paid so much for them...oooo..the softest of material touching the sensitive skin of one's derriere (cam iklan pulak). Next time i would know not to panic if i've run out of clean undies or disposable ones...i can always pinch MG's like i do with most of his stuff..i must surrender to the fact that in my relationship, he's the one with the exquisite taste, and i beg to differ, i'm not cheap(skate), i'm just practical. If only he allows me to play makeup on him, it would have been perfect.

Unmet expectations
Sometimes i feel in life, one really shouldn't have any kind of expectations for e.g.like expecting:
Your colleagues to stick up for you
Your best friend to be available when you need to be heard
Your husband/boyfriend to call you up or even sms you when they are away
Your child to turn out okay
Your subordinates to perform tasks as what you had in mind
More often than not
Your colleagues will make sure that they save their arses first
Your best friend would likely be in a meeting
Your hubby/bf may be having too good a time and usually they are not inborn with that telepathy thing with their wife/gf (it's the man thing)
A child will turn into an adult following the path that is destined for them
You and your subordinate have two different brains
As human beings we have needs and inadvertently, with needs, come expectations. How can some people say 'i entered marriage without any expectations'...this is really bull****. A marriage is like a contract..you agree to the contract whereby the unspoken rules are: to be faithful, responsible, love and cherish till death etc. etc.
This entry has nothing to do with Mr Gig or him misbehaving. Just to digress, seperti yg dititahkan oleh Hajah Esah Gelisah a.k.a Tuanku Esah i am putting MG on auction at ebay. Sesiapa yg berminat/taste uols can bid starting from RM3. Sebabnya, MG has incurred the wrath of Tuanku Esah for allowing little D to practise sucking on hp pemberian Tuanku (ampun kan patik nor..).
Anyway, to proceed with the initial issue, as long as i'm a mortal being, that eats (loads), shits (religiously), and farts (like nobody bussiness), i will have expectations and i must always be prepared to have them unmet once in a while.. the only thing i wish is to learn to not take it (really) to heart.

Who's afraid of the big bad dentist?
I think i have a toothache...it's dull, achy pain and has been bugging me for at least a year. Some dentist had a look into my mouth months ago and he wrote me off as having psychogenic pain...i.e. it's all in the head. Last night the niggly ache was worse, enough for me to decide that something has to be done this morning. My courage has been further strengthened by Hajah esah recent visit to hers (ye la kan she who is scared of singa jadian and hantu paip air pun boleh berani gi dentist)Hence, i had some xray pictures taken of both sides of the mouth...tak nampak apa2 pun. You must wonder why the big fuss kan? Because....i'm terrified of dentists! My hands go all clammy and what i fear most is actually the needle! When i had labour pain, i thought it was the worst pain i had ever imagined...i didn't care what injections i had then and they were all into muscles (much more painful when the injections are into muscles rather than into veins i.e. like taking blood for e.g). I should have had my teeth checked and existing cavities filled then.
Anyway, i will just fill you up with some pictures while i wait for the nicest dentist i know here to come out of a meeting and have a look at me..takut!!
My two most manja kids. Yg si bulu tu pun tak mau kalah jugak. Mesti nak menyempit. Berat masing2 cam guni beras.

Wind problem
I was going to finish off that cerita org minyak but at the moment mood kureng sikit..lately i'm suffering from frequent episodes of wind atau org melayu cakap perut masuk angin. And the worse thing is, it always give me a headache. I haven't identified which food that causes the problem..kengkadang makan mushrooms ok, kengkadang tak..kengkadang makan nangka setandan pun ok..kalo ada sesapa doktor kat luar nak explain phenomena angin tu would very much welcomed the explanations. Usually i would take two panadol to ease off the headache, not that it does anything for the angin. Org cakap minum coke, tapi ada ke kat canteen sini takde jual coke atau minuman bergas yg sewaktu dgnnya?? Kalo si Esah tau, mesti tension dia. Wajarkah i call for Macdonald delivery dan mengorder burger yg menggemukkan tapi lazat tak berzat semata2 target i sebenarnya nak the coke? Masa i student kat negara benggali putih dulu, jarang sekali dapat problem angin ..so, who says a diet on snickers, telur goreng, bread and marmite takde pekdah?? At least kurang sorang yg akan asyik terkentut je dalam dunia ni.
Last week on the news ada cerita pasal a used car dealer that's been jailed for 56 months (only) because unintentionally terbunuh anak dia. How you may ask? Well, the boy was only 1 year old and had to endure punishment like tarik telinga and rotan because terkencing and terbey dalam rumah. I think it went too far the last time, entah apa blunt object he used to hit the head and the boy died, a slow death (from internal bleeding). 56 months only??? And dari tarikh dia di tahan..so tinggal berapa tu?? It doesn't matter 10 bulan ke , 56 bulan ke, but the fact that a baby died at the hand of the person who was supposed to be protecting him in the first place. How can that be?? I have a child who is 13months old..my 3 year old cat has much more IQ and can understand me better than my baby. How can any human being do this kind of thing? Mula2 i ingat budak umur 10 tahun, but no, just 1 year old. I'm glad that the baby's gone straight to heaven and i hope that man would rot in jail.
Last year, there was a case that i baca from tabloid newspaper, a mother that flung her own anak to the wall and bila budak tu dah jatuh, tendang 2, 3 kali sampai budak tu terbey. If i'm not mistaken, the child lived for another day or two when he finally succumbed to his internal injuries, alone. And it was his own mother who did that. There are a lot other stories on child abuse and our media dah tak kisah nak highlight benda2 ni. Lebih baik highlight pasal isu Batu Gajah bocor, KJ ada simpan mistress, Pak Lah dah kawin lagi (who cares for god's sake? Biarkan la, kan org tu duda pun) so on and so forth. Pas tu sedap2 buat baby then boleh buang merata2. Kalau buang bagi org bela takpe jugak, ni tanam hidup2 or bungkus sampai tak bernafas.
In my profession, i have come across only two cases of child abuse/neglect during the time i did my Masters. They came to me for review. One child was so neglected that she had warts all over her body. Ok, bukan satu dua atau sepuluh bijik in total but imagine this, she has at least 2-3 warts on every 2cm squared of skin. The other girl was 'underdeveloped' because she was not sent to school or allowed to socialise with people..she had hair tebal macam wig tu and so full of lice that you can actually see it jumping about. And you can see from their eyes that these children weren't happy.....i'm sure that they didn't know what their parents owe them i.e. providing them with love and protection, giving them the best childhood a parent can afford. Even the gypsy children yg datang jumpa i pun i rasa lebih happy even though they live dalam serba kekurangan..at least they were jumping about all over the place indicating they were at least happy children.
Perhaps i can try (my very best)to understand how some parents may resort to abusing their children. I must admit when one is tired and just want to get things done and the child decides to be whiny just about that time, it may not be difficult to lose one's temper. I have only one, i have a maid and a supportive husband and even so, i do lose my temper with Little D. And, i who's supposed to know a thing or two about child psycholgy.Like i said, Little D's only 13 months but i've smacked her twice on the shoulder, why, because she startled me by biting during nenen time. Perhaps i should try to discourage her habit by positive reinforcement etc. instead of straight giving out punishment..if anyone out there has any tips, please feel free to share.
Does this mean i will try to understand why some parents abuse their children? No, i don't condone it, call me self righteous but children are gift from God..end of story.

Cerita orang minyak lagi
I was putting Little D for her mid morning nap and watching RTM2 at the same time (there was nothing interesting on ASTRO at 10 in the morning). They were showing satu drama Melayu ala2 You’ve Got Mail..this film brought back sweet memories because it reminded me of org minyak. Anyway, the oil man aside first…heroine dalam YGM melayu tu was si Koozah. A few months back at my work place datanglah a boy and a girl about 12, 13 macamtu. So goodlooking both of them, rambut pun ada sikit2 be-londe of the natural kind, bukan tiruan. They were soo well-behaved. Afterwards, I asked the student who saw to them, anak sapa tu? The student said, oo, diaorg anak artis…tak tau la kalau Makcik Kiah tau, pelakon lama. I said, ‘pelakon lama?’I terbayang Mariam ke, Maria Menado ke..yelah..those are lama, OK? ‘Siapa?’ The student said ‘’Makcik tau Koozah?’ Laaa…itu katanya lama?? Bukan ke si Koozah tu jaman2 I sekolah menengah dulu…nampak sangat generation gap between the student and i.
Anyway, back to the oil man story. Apa2 pun hati I lega that Bella’s pacar is not the Gig Bur (gigi buruk) I had to date in order to menjaga persahabatan I ngan Ustazah Munah..eii..kalo tak, terpaksa putus sedara ngan ko Bella!
Once when we were still emailing each other prior to the date, I had to go back to the UK to sit for my professional exam. When I was there, as soon as I sat for the exam, the first thing I did was to look for a cyber café. That was how committed I was to the ‘relationship’. I don’t know if any of you have been in this kind of relationship.What is it about chatting through the internet, never ever seen how the other person looks like but one is so drawn to the other person? In my case, kitaorg tak pernah berchatting pun…it was only emails. Pagi I email, petang dah dapat reply…I would like to think that once upon a time he must have enjoyed my company as much as I did his.
Anyway, on the flight back, katebang SIA masa tu dah ada screen tv belakang each seat. I rasa masa tu MAS belum ada lagi. So, I pun tengoklah cite YGM tu berulang kali and perasan cam I lah Mek Rayan and him my Tom Hang. Nasib baik lah gila2 bayang pun I managed to pass the exam..kalo tak membazir ribu2 duit aku pi London nun.
Balik kepada lepas first meeting tu, well, I enjoyed his company very much. He was the same in person as he was on the net. That Sunday lepas keluar date dgn si Gig Bur itu, I rasa cam diri ni nak kena samak. Eii! Tobat aku pi blind date ni. You know guys, it doesn’t matter if you drive a Mercedes (he must be doing really well even back then Bella, age 28 dah drive Merc) but kalo perangai cam bagusss je…I need to be extremely materialistic or razor blade to stomach it. But that night the oil man called me up and we talked on the phone for absolute ages. Datang masuk kerja mata cam Panda but it didnn’t matter. Kan dah cakap..masa tu makan pun tak payah! (I must have lost about 3kgs during that week only.) Pagi masuk kerja awal2 lagi dia dah call to set another date. We went out to OU that day after work, we watched First Sight kalo tak silap I, yg ada Vel Krimer and Mirak Sorbino. Pas tu he took me to Mandarin O for dinner makan duck (because I told him I really like peking duck & crispy pancakes).
I selalu terfikir why was I smittened with this guy? Adakah kerana dia melayan I cam tuan puteri..bawak I ke sana ke sini makan tempat mahal2? At that time as a fresh grad, I wasn’t earning much. Of course kalo I memang couldn’t afford to go to all those places. And I don’t come from family banyak duit pun as opposed to him. I would have been quite happy to go dine at places yg takde aircond..makan sup tulang cicah roti tepi longkang kat Kg Baru tu pun dah cukup bagi i. But the ‘romance’was too short, tak sempat for me to really find out if he was a simple kind of guy. And I supposed, when I was in my 20’s I was insecure and perhaps I was not my true self. If it were to happen now, things might be different..mungkin I bawak dia makan sup tulang tepi longkang tu and tengok hidungnya kembang kincup. This guy was big, about 5’10” yelah, bukan senang nak cari laki2 Melayu setinggi tu. And he’s got flesh (no cekeding need apply).
Something happened that put a glitch to the week. You all tau tak this place called Caravalli at KLCC? It only opened for a year I think pas tu dia tutup and then ganti ngan Coffee Bean. Well, it was an Italian sort of thing, ada pizza pasta and all sorts. And they serve good coffee jugak (not that I drink much) and the prices were very reasonable..mampu la gaji seciput I membayarnya. My colleagues and I we always had lunch there due to its close proximity to our workplace. The staff kat situ pun dah kenal sgt we all. Anyway, that Wednesday, me and my two friends pi makan kat situ. We have this thing about setiap 5 minutes we switched plates. Jadi semua dapat merasa..masa tu memang my friends untung..ye la..kan I tak lalu makan (kenapalah tak berpanjangan sampai sebulan ke? Harus ku jadi Kate Moss kalo ye). I saw him there with his colleagues! Some of them tu my friend and I kenal pun. Ye la..org2 minyak msia..bersepah2. We sat at a table not far from hi, but he had his back to us. And I pun taknak la pergi kat table dia say hi kan..sapalah aku ni di samping org2 corparat masa tu. Seperti biasa dari dulu lagi bekerja di company bapak (yg ye nya bukan bapak I), suka2 je we all had extended lunch time. Of course the other party at 2pm had to get up to go back to work kan. Masa tu I berdebar2..should I tayang muka I supaya dia nampak or I pura2 sembamkan muka ke plate I dan pura2 tak sedar dia ada situ? Of course I did the latter..You know what?! This is according to my friend yg dua ekor tu. He actually walked towards the exit yg memang kena lalu dekat dgn table we all, he stopped when he saw me and ambik jalan lain. Apakah motivenya itu wahai lelaki? Bergundah gulanalah hati I for the rest of the afternoon…he actually called me up when I reached the office sort of to say hi. Of course I pretended cam tak apa2. I rasa memang dia nak check out whether I saw him or not. I think we met up another time, but I can’t remember where we went.
Yes of course, we didn’t go anywhere! Baru I ingat, he came over to my apartment on Friday. He said he was tired, takmo jln2, he’s met all obligations where his friends were concerned, the night before, so he just want to lepak2. Actuallynya, I pun dah plan2, kalo dia ajak keluar, I would decline and instead ajak dia ke rumah je. (Bukan nak seduce la! Tau tak penat asyik nak mengukur jalan kat KL tu 2,3 kali on weekday nights). I dah siap beli crisps (pernah tak you all come across org yg sebut crips instead of crisps? Really does my head in!) and non-alcoholic grape juice (ok, fat chance la..this guy would not get tipsy for me to take advantage of..hehe). Ye la..kan I ni budak kampung..mana le reti benda2 tu semua..innocent je kan masa tu. You know..satu benda I menyesal betul..i kononnya nak menunjukkan yg I ni cam couldn’t be bothered..like he’s just a guy friend, takde nak mengimpress2…I dressing track bottom ngan tshirt je uols! Kalo ingatkan balik..aiyo makcik pesal le ko ni! Tau la nak nampak cool..but track bottom?? Ish! Pas tu tshirt company je uols bukannya baby t cam bebudak jaman sekarang pakai. Sooo like makcik! I know I wasn’t set out to seduce him tapi ish! (sampai sekarang I terkilan you! Han, aku tak start AS collection lagi masa tu..hehe). Know what we did?..
Sambung di lain masa hehe. Dah kul 1pm ni..i belum mandi lagi. Jap lagi Mr Gig balik and tak mo le menunjukkan kat dia yg bininya bersenang lenang je pagi ni.
P/s U rasa story mory I ni boleh buat soap opera ke? Cam Hollyoaks ittew.

I thought i would have a relatively relaxing Friday and the only paper work i'd be doing would be to update my blog as commanded by the HRH ex-Raja Nazrin-tak-pernah-jadi. First thing in the morning ada pulak benda nak kena buat as requested dari ketua jabatan org lain..ye la..kan i ni selalu menurut perintah tak banyak cengkadak. Just done that and after the 2nd visit to the loo (for today only) here i am ready to write. Talking about my bowel habit, saja nak kongsi gross, two or three times per day for me is quite normal...so i can't imagine for some people like Little D, Han dgn pacarnya dan pacar si Bella having difficulties in that department.
Anyway, to get back to cerita org minyak aku...i must say that was Kenangan Terindah for me (haa..ko tau lagu ni Han??). It was exhilarating, was completely in a state of euphoria probably because it happened in such a short space of time. Furthermore, the anticipation, build up to the meeting. The 'romance' happened in one week to be exact. And of course what goes up fast must come down pretty speeded up too cam reverse bungy jumping.
Well, the day we met up, we went to Victoria Station..i still remember, on his way to pick me up he said jgn pakai formal sangat because he was only in his golfing shorts (oo lalaaa!). And i don't care i shall bore you with details as trivial as what i was wearing on that date because ni blog aku kan... Picture me about 10kgs lighter and masa tu belum lagi mendapat cahaya keimanan bak Ezzah Aziz Fawzy (ada org cakap i macam rupa Demi Moore dlm Ghost because rambut i yg pendek..entah betul entah tidak, tak kisah i nak perasan jugak) and rambut kalau org kampung i panggil be-londe (warna selain dari hitam akan dipanggil be-londe walaupun omputih panggil brunette). I wore a white linen top dari M&S and navy blue palazzo pants from Principles Petite (ah ah Han..masa tu muat lagi, tak yah cari baju kat Evans). After i got passed his head & neck region, i tengok kaki dia..wuiyooo banyak bulu..you know what they say about hairy man?? Mesti ada keturunan sia***g kalau tak pun kel**g hehe. Kenapa tak mintak gambar dia dulu? Never thought of it..maybe because i ni pun bukan la aishwarya rai pun kan..lagi2 bila dah kena dump dgn si siamang yg model iklan tu, lagi teruk la self esteem aku kan. At that time i didn't mind that he looked like a milder version of OS, mana ke tau, with lots of kisses a frog can turn into a prince ke..(eii gatainya!)
Ada la dia bawakkan i gift dari tempat kerja dia. Memang plus points++ .It was a pleasant Saturday afternoon. On Sunday, i went out again to Victoria Station..but not with him hehe..Kan i cakap masa tu i serial dater, and my friend Ustazah Munah (a.k.a courier barangan sakti dari Han) hooked me up with her boss for a blind date. You know la when dealing with species yg ada LLB ni, their overbearingness (is there such a word?) would just compel one to agree because one (or me) dared not be otherwise. And he'd already mentioned on the phone that he'd be taking me to VS...unless he meant the one across town in Bangsar or USJ (masa tu takde lagi kut)..aiyo..how ah? In less than 24 hours, two different men but same venue? Desperate time calls for drastic measure..i actually put on a scarf you all...! Macam Normala Samsudin dalam cite Idola tu (matila kekwat tul i, asyik nak kaitkan diri ni dgb pilem star je). Apparently this guy dalam dunia LAlaw among the outstanding ones..entah kalo aku sebut nama, pacar mu mungkin tau Bella, anam dia org sama!.(Sib baik nama bapak diaorg tak sama..kalo tak...)
Anyway, the afternoon was a torment. That guy was overbearing! Ni jenis yg bark orders to the waiter. It was rainy outside. Bila the waiter offered cold smoothies, dia cam sarcastic and cakap it's cold, takkan nak minum sejuk pulak. Better bring coffee, for two. Tak tanya pun i minum coffee ke..just assumed i would. Pas tu we ordered brownie and the waiter suggested ice cream to go with it but he said, 'No, just bring the brownie, OK? No ice cream' Ces! What's wrong? I really fancied brownie ngan ice cream. Tak perlu tanya i ke? All the while, i was wishing that i was with someone else...i sort of stared at this guy's gums yang ada gingivitis and satu benda pun i tak dengar apa dia cakap. At one point tu, he consulted me about something and jokingly i said 'the consultation fee is 80 bucks please'. Pas tu dia boleh kata 'we're here for nearly an hour already, i normally charge 250-300 an hour'. Amboi kekwatnya jantan gingivitis ni..! Charge fee as gig*** ka?? Then he sent me home, i wrote him an email thanking him for lunch tapi memang jenis jantan tak berfinesse, didn't reply my email pun (kenapa ko ingat bila reply je aku nak ajak kawin ka?). Anyway, two years ago MG and i attended a wedding of his friend..set2 corparat gitu and tengok the guest list and his name was on and in fact he was seated at the next table. He was chubbier, mata jadi lebih sepet and i tak nampak pun ada bawak queen consort dia..(MG bangga yg dia lebih comel..shallow betul jantan ku ini)
Is that the time?? Gosh..cerita org minyak bersambung di lain masa

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..
