Went to see the place, and Mun keluarkan chalk and measuring tape and started measuring the place up untuk renovation (the perks of having an architect bestfriend. I knew there's a good reason why her application for Human Sciences was rejected and transferred to Architecture masa kat UIA dulu).
Two cups of air kelapa and goreng pisang later, we followed Nad to Setia Alam untuk tengok rumah yang nak disewanya. Actually kalau diikutkan, if jalan dari Denai Alam ke Setia Alam dah ada, Setia Alam ke Shah Alam akan jadi lebih dekat (so many 'alam' in that sentence). I was telling Mun that I have to learn to stop cussing if I am to teach kids.
"Ko bayangkanla kalau anak murid tanya aku soalan, pastu aku jawab, 'Apa kau mengarut ni setan? Babi betul..."
"Haha... ye, sile berubah."
Then she was amused that I remembered all KFC songs. I'm tellin ya, if there's a contest where one must sing KFC jingles, I'm gonna win that.
Here's the KFC song where the kids kacau granpa mengecat rumah;
"Semalam kami meneman atuk, nampaknya atuk terlalu sibuk, kami kasihan melihatnya, kami menolong apa terdaya, tapi datuk berkata, cu mari ke KFC, wow rezeki, kami makan apa kami mahu, tak sangka meneman atuk semudah itu, KFC idamanku selalu...."
and ini lagu versi atuk dia;
"Semalam atuk menjaga cucu, banyak pulak kerja nak dibuat tu, cucu nak tolong beria-ia, ah nanti habis rosak jadinya, macam ni pening kepala, nasib baik ke KFC, cucu kata jadi, di sana cucu makan tak jemu, KFC idamanku selalu..."
and ini iklan pemain bola;
"Main bola bukannya susah, sepak penalti lagi mudah, cakap ini macam penambah, alamak apa dah jadi, sudah kalah dua kali, nasiblah ada KFC, kentang ayam penawar hati, tiada siapa pun nak tegur, tapi mungkin penjaga gol, KFC memang kawanku, idamanku selalu..."
iklan pemain bola versi english;
"........... oh no what have I done, lost the game the second time, KFC is still my friend, fries and chicken, will somebody talk to me, yes it looks like the goalie, because we're friends at KFC, there is where I want to be..."
iklan zoo KFC;
"Apabila perut lapar, ayam goreng pun ada, bermainlah di safari sambil makan di sana, jadi jangan tunggu, marilah kita ke zoo, KFC idamanku selalu..."
Hail Syahida, KFC songs extraordinaire!
After looking at the house in Setia Alam, we kinda felt like it's a great place to settle, and started each other's dream of buying a house and all that when the kindergarten soars.
"Macam Nad, pergi tengok rumah dengan husband."
"Betul. Tapi Mun, aku rasa kalau aku kahwin dengan orang yang aku sayang, rumah flat pun aku tak kisah........................"
senyap seketika.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA..." kitorang dua orang gelak mengalahkan setan.
"That is so tacky, man." kata aku.
"Nasib baik tak guna ayat, 'sebab dia cintakan aku'..." kata Mun.
"Kami saling mencintai..." kata aku
"Wahahaha... geli gila, rasa nak tampar." kata Mun.
"Betul. Atau bak kata Shazrina, 'Adik cintakan dia'... satu-satunya manusia yang boleh lepas guna perkataan tu cuma Quraisyah sorang je."
"Hahaha..."
Singgah TESCO, gi Petshop sebab kengkonon kat tadika nanti nak buat satu tempat untuk pets, but end up beli skirt kat kedai mamat Pakistan. Chilaker betul mamat Pakistan tu. Kitorang tanya dia berapa harga skirt tu, dia jawab RM29, lepas tu kata boleh turun harga jadi RM25 and terus masukkan skirt dalam plastik. Pastu beli mini donut, and Mun jakun seketika tengok mesin buat donut tu. Just letak dough dalam dia, then it squeezed itself to a donut shape, and terus masuk dalam minyak, and ada sudip thingy untuk keluarkan sendiri atas board. Damn genius.
I mean, it tasted so good, especially with the dark chocolate, I swear to God it almost felt sinful.
Balik tu, aku tengok keliling TESCO, and since it's a new place, kawasan tu kosong.
"Nampak kosong je..." kata aku.
"Apa? Hidup ko?" tanya Mun dan gelak macam setan.
Sebab saling kutuk-mengutuk, tak pasal2 sesat sampai masuk jalan nak ke Cyberjaya.
Mun bought us pashminas and khulwah (arab sweets) dari Jordan. Rasa segan pulak sebab aku tak beli apa-apa untuk diorang masa gi Singapore arituh. Hectic gila masa tuh. Didn't even find a time to browse around, except drooling over the new Mitsubishi-i. Oh my God, I so want that car, I can just die right now.
Last Friday my boss asked me to see her and said that diorang tak jadi pindah Subang Perdana and want me to go to the next step - using the system and masukkan sendiri subtitles.
"Subang Perdana seems to far for you to come." katanya.
Errr... now I don't know how to tell her I am quitting.
Maybe I can just make a deal with her, buat freelance sabtu ahad ke... aiyaiyai... why la make it hard for me to leave? I have to, man. Why not do it like CO? "Hey I'm leavin'." "Yeah, ok, whatever..." (bukan dialog sebenar)
Balik rumah, rupanya dad went to the warehouse sale again and bought more movies - some western with Charleton Heston and old "Spartacus"... and "Cold Mountain". Cool. I never watched "Cold Mountain" before.
"Ayah ko tu tak ada kerja lain. Asyik beli cd je..." kata mak.
"Mak, sile jangan kutuk ayah saya." kata aku.
Mak stressed. Hahaha.
