Pesan Shahrul

Shahrul's BFF; WH invited him to his parents' hse utk kenduri tahlil arwah WH's mom who passed away recently. A few days ago, Shahrul kata saya kena temankan dia. So, saya pun ironed baju & what not. A day before the event, he told me dia tak sure whether saya dijemput sekali. Dia hanya buat assumption saya turut dijemput. Ckplah betul2 shd I go/shd I just stay @ home & watch dvds. Dia gelak2 je, angin tau satu bdn.

Akhirnya, dia kata saya boleh ikut tp dia ada 2 pesanan utk saya :

1) tolong jgn ambik nasi sampai tinggi gunung/ gi buffet table 2x utk tambah nasi. He knows that kalau saya lapar/ food yg dihidangkan sdp, saya akan selamba je gi tambah ikut suka, tak kira rumah sape we go. 

I know myself, bila saya lapar, saya akan menggigil. So, saya makan 2 keping roti before pergi takut lapar. Pressure tau tak bg tambah nasi.

2) tolong beramah mesra dgn tetamu lain coz for sure I have to be on my own & tak duduk sekali dgn dia. Pesanan ni agak pelik coz it was like telling Chef Wan, kalau masuk dapur, jgn terpikir langsung utk masak or bg tau Datin R M, kalu gi oversea, jgn shopping, tengok je, dok diam2. 

I love talking, kan saya cikgu? Pernah dia tanya "you tak penat ke berckp?" Mengingatkan dia betapa bertuahnya dia dpt isteri yg suka berckp, cuba dpt isteri bisu seribu bahasa, tanya sepatah jawab sepatah, worse angguk je. Sehari dua bolehlah, kalau 12 tahun mcm usia perkahwinan kami? Sure he ends up bisu gak!

He drove my 6 yo Saga mcm nak terbalik Saga tu coz according to him, we must reach BTHO by 12 noon. Kami lambat 1/2hr. Adalah bbrp org sedara terdkt yg dah ada. Dia terus keluar sekejap dgn WH, without telling me, tau2 lesap, leaving me there, bringing along my hp yg I tumpang kat dia.

Anda rasa saya akan geram dgn dia? Oh tidak! Terus saya memulakan salam bicara dgn mereka yg duduk dkt dgn saya & later felt so at ease talking to other guests. Ada yg tanya whether saya ni anak sedara tuan rumah sbb tak berenti berckp kan! buat mcm rumah sendiri. 

I ended up talking lama sgt dgn 3 makciks & anak kpd salah seorang makcik itu. Saya kagum dgn 3 makcik itu. They r sisters from Sabah. Even in their late 50s & early 60s, mereka masih bergaya. One of them even reaaply lipstick after solat, after makan & before we took pictures. Saya sepatutnya tiru mereka. Siap tanya rahsia keanjalan kulit one of them. When I told them saya teringin utk mendaki Gunung Kinabalu kalau my former school buat aktiviti ini sekali lg (they just went during CNY, I was in Kuching), one of them told me dia dah sampai puncak Kinabalu, truly inspiring kan? She even gave me her relative's biz card. Her relative owns chalets di Kundasang. 

Cerita punye cerita, her friend's cucus are my students. Her husband used to work di SESB, anak sykt TNB. Small world kan!

Later, masa makan, walaupun ayam msk merah & rendang daging nampak sgt menyelerakan, saya ambik sikit je. I even lalu dpn Shahrul & tunjuk nasi yg saya ambik. Bila tengok pinggan dia lg penuh, geram je sbb jeles.

Bila 3 makciks tu dah nak balik, one of them even kissed me....

Then, saya sembang dgn WH's cousin pulak.

Later, when we were in the car nak balik, told him too bad they served bubur kacang, we love pulut hitam. Shahrul said "2 je bende we have in common - travelling & bubur pulut hitam. Gosh! We hv been married for 12 years & he could think of 2 things je yg connect us? Sgt tak romantik k! Dont talk bout Ombak Rindu/ Winter Sonata - dulu, kini & selamanya dia takleh faham kenapa perempuan boleh nangis tengok filem2 ini.

Shahrul tanya, "u sembang dgn sape tadi? Rancak nampak"

See the leg lah. Even if he campak me kat Sepilok pun, I can make org utan talk to me. Kalau campak kat sungai rejang pun, I can make the buayas open their mouth &.........

......wait to be ngap ALIVE!......
