Yesterday in history

I was explaining my spread of kuih raya to visiting friends (before buka puasa) which included a Sudanese lady. “This is pineapple tart, that one is Almond London, here is Chocolate Cookies – all made by myself (I’m lying here!) blahblah.. and we also have some tapioca crackers here, with and without chillies. But oh-oh, you’re pregnant right so it isn’t good for you coz it’s ‘windy’!” Hahahahahah, everyone is laughing like mad – that is direct translation for you! For want of better word, I used windy to explain ‘berangin’ when actually it should be something to do with flatulence- gassy perhaps? Whatever..

One of my voluntary welfare duties yday was to submit (after sending for pcopying & binding) hard-covered/final thesis on behalf of my friend (who gave birth recently-to a fine young man of 3-long-names belum lagi bapak's name pun 3-long-ones jugak & sabo je lah cikgu2 sekolah esok & time isi borang- & currently in confinement at her home state) to each of her 4 committee members in return for getting their respective signatures.
First, Datin Dr (or is it Dr. @/& Datin?) – berbelit2 lidah nak panggil! Second, a seriously chain-smoking professor (he needs to quit, I really, really like him coz he’s so kind ok); I took the time to explain that it’s not my thesis (less he think it’s mine & causing further embarrassment for me), “..bagi pihak SS. Diakan dah beranak.” He said, “Apa?! Dekan dah beranak?” LOL. BTW, our current dean is a he. I know, my language is so kampong la…
Third, ‘Ustaz’ Dr (or is it Dr. Ustaz, dia cakap pandang bawah je!) – took the opportunity to promote a fund-raising (will advertise tomorrow insyaAllah), “….on behalf of the school….sedekah jariah untuk arwah….Er, klu untuk niatkan waqaf kena RM1000 ke atas..Blahblah..” Later on, as I was driving & thinking back, “Allah…I didn’t mean to sound as if I’m asking for RM1k donation, did I?”
Fourth, another prof who’s not in office the whole day. My friend arranged for me to meet him after office hour near the tennis court complex. I was delayed by about 10 minutes. He was already in the game & asked me to literally ‘masuk court’ to get his sign! Told my friend, “Rasanya ada prof tu kembang idung coz stdnt carik smpai ke padang!” Ceh!

My not-so-lucky bro with two-wife met the other lucky bro with two-wife & I guess they couldn’t help it but to talk about the same set of problems. So, now the lucky bro has to make an effort to help reconcile the not-so-lucky bro’s first family as the elder kids aren’t on talking terms with him – cannot even tolerate being in the same car so no balik kampong for last raya!

I’ve been wondering since morning about the ‘political & defence analist cum think-tank somebody’ who’s involved in the gruesome murder of that Mongolian lady. My sis too! After smsing around, now I know! Not that femes as in Pak Lah or Che’ Det femes lor! But remember kes pembunuhan isteri kedua Raja Di Hilir (ke Di Hulu) Perak? Sape yg last2 kena tangkap & dihukum? Bukan mastermindnya tapi orang kechik2nya! Ada jugak system immunity ala2 Survivor gitu!

Problem with remembering certain names & the appropriate faces/persons. Eli vs Lia. Old no vs new no. I’m confuse & not sure who I’m talking/smsing with. Last2, one msg me, “Akak, saya adalah X yg selalu jogging dgn akak tu. Savekan no baru ni.” Heheheh
