I’ve a friend – a really good one. While I’m busy climbing the ivory tower, she stays at home full time in order to look after her ailing mother even though she got a degree in (kinda-forget-it-already)..
We were inseparable when we were in school.
As I move along, getting to know other people, I keep in touch with her by dropping by once in a while or through phone calls (most of the time, she’s the one who initiated the calls).
Today, out of the blue, she called me. She sounds terrible (though I didn’t notice straight away) – sick or something. She said she wanted to tell me something. My mind jumped ahead to conclusion & blabbered, “Ha, nak kawin!?” Before that, I was so surprised to hear her voice & as she was calling using a hp, I said to her, “Wah, dah guna hp ye blah blah..” I did asked about her condition & she said, “just getting better from a fever –must be the season or something..”
Then, she told me, “Sori lambat bagi tau, mak aku meninggal 2 hari lepas…..”
I was so shocked!! This is so unexpected (I know, I know – only death & taxes are certained) – last time when I called she said the mother was getting better (I’ve met her a couple of time) as she and the family never tired of trying anything to cure her sickness (am not sure exactly but something to do with buatan orang)...
Lawak misunderstood:
My neighbour (the mother & the sister) chartered my sis’s car in order for her to attend her daughter’s convo. I offered my apartment for the family to stay overnight since they were suppose to be in the hall very early the next day. Due to her circumstances (loss of one leg due to diabetes), she declined my offer (heck! 2nd floor shop-apartment) & preferred to stay at her relative’s place nearby.
Prior to the designated day, I already gave the detail instruction to my sister on how to go to the relative’s place & then my place. However, after so many phone calls & getting nowhere near the place, I told my sis to come & pick me up so that I can show them the way. Once I settled in the car, I repeated the instruction: “Kan dah bagi tau awal2. Senang je. Lps tol, 1st roundabout amik kul 12 pastu jumpa 2nd r/about amik kul 9 klu nak pi rumah sedara dia & kul 6 klu nak pi rumah org..” My sister said, “Alah, susah. Tak biasa” (managed to get lost while searching for my apartment).
All the while, the mother & sister were listening. Suddenly, the mother said, “Kenapa kul 6 je? Lepas tu jalan tutup ke?”
Heheheheheh
Lawak siut;
My Bro-IL told this story while ROTFLOL…
He went for a drink with friends near one stadium. The place was famous for something. Since he’d never been to the stadium before, he ventured into the stadium. What he saw was this one guy cutting the grass using the machine intended for a small area (hand-machine – alah, pgg sebelah tangan tu!) Mind you, this is one huge stadium we are talking about…heheheh! So, he laughed. His friends wandered over to find out what happened & started laughing too while pointing to the guy. Then the stall owner also joined in…end up everybody laughing like mad while the guy remained blurred…
Lawak ‘geli-geleman’;
I don’t know how true this story is. But you as a mother better beware when your kids spend inordinate amount of time in the bathroom after avoiding bath time like a plague all this while. This small kid has been known to be naughty & very bright.
So, early one morning (or is one evening? Not too sure) the mother was brushing her teeth, “Eh, apsal lak bau busuk ni?” *kemut2 hidung utk bau dgn lebih jelas* Check the sink & under- clear, the mirror –clear, the floor – nothing. But the smell was so near…
So she looked at her toothbrush carefully – “UWEEKKKK!!!!”
Later, she asked her son, “XXX ada usik berus gigi mama tak?” Replied, “XXX buat cuci…” Hahahahahahah..
Moral of the story, put your toothbrush higher up – out of their reach!!
