Boil

A conversation I had with a lady friend couple years back while visiting our friend who had been hospitalised due to a big boil located on his private part.

Me: Mat, teruk betul bisul kau tu! Sampai nak duduk pun tak boleh. ( Mat was lying face down on the bed)

My Lady friend: Ish, tak besar la Mat punya bisul tu. Adik aku punya lagi besar!

Me: aaa??

(this was followed by series of "tumbukan padu" landed on my shoulder)

Fly and fly

(dedicated a very dear friend)

I beg you.
Please, please,
Spread your wings and fly,
Fly away from the beast,
That haunted you all season.

Fly you must,
To escape from the steel cage,
That keeps you for years,
In suffering and tears.

It’s a liberating feeling,
I must assure you,
To fly beneath the clouds,
And to feel the winds brushing you face.

Come, fly across the rainbow,
And let your colorful feathers glows,
Let us together pray to Almighty to push away your sorrow,
May you fly free in the hopes of tomorrow.

Shapes & Sizes

Kids describe things in simple ways based on colour, shapes and sizes.

Allow me to illustrate it with my nephew Amin as example.

He sees my Brother, Deni as " Pakcik Gelap" because he got dark sawo- matang complexion.He describes my youngest brother , Asraf as "Pakcik Kecik" because he is a thin and lanky guy ala ala Ariel of that famous indonesian band Peter Pan (Cheh!)

And worst of all, he got special name for me and you can imagine how difficult my life could be with him tagging along for evening stroll when he screamed,

"Pakcik Besar! Pakcik Besar Tunggu Amin!"

Rasa macam langit runtuh menghempap jiwa.
