Kain Telekong Tesco

"Why don't we break the rules already?" Some Nights by Fun.

So I just noticed that I didn't post anything in February. Now my 2013 archives won't look pretty. Boohoo ;_;

So here's a story:

I was in my car, getting out of the maktab gates with some friends, when, while signing out, another friend of mine, let's call her Maddy, was also signing out. We asked her where she was going, and she said Tesco, so since we were going there anyway and there was still space in the car, I asked if she wanted a lift. She accepted.

She was carrying a bag, so I asked her what was in the bag.

"Maddy, ada apa dalam beg?"

"Kain telekong."

"Hang nak pi juai ka apa?"

"Dak aih. Saja amek kain telekong had ada kat surau Tesco tu bawak balik basuh. Ni nak bagi balik ah."

"Aik? Awat hang pi basuh plak?"

"La, biaq pi kat aku la nak buat apa pun!"

The end.

There are always ways to make the world a better place. And those ways don't have to be extravagant or big scale. Something as little as picking up a piece of plastic on the sidewalk and putting it into a nearby garbage can. Or moving a rock from the road. Or seeing that the prayer garments in a surau you frequent are dirty/smelly, and washing some. Or smiling to a stranger. It improves not only our own lives, but also others'.

There are an excess of opportunities to do good in the world and make it a better place. We just have to look.

May peace be upon you.

Cheers!

Bila baca post ni, teringat kejadian 3 tahun yang lepas. Seorang junior berjumpa saya utk makan malam. Dia (seorang perempuan) baru lepas mengalami kemalangan jalanraya.
Dia: Kita rasa kita ada buat salah. Masa solat kat surau hostel tadi nampak telekong ni dah kotor tapi kita tak buat apa.
Saya: Kemudian?
Dia: Sebab tu kita accident selepas solat tadi kowt. Balik ni nak pergi cuci kain telekong tu larh.

Saya umpama "hamna hamna hamna" tak tau nak cakap apa.

As-salam,

Tbh, this is the only entry that satisfy my er... mediocre comprehension. I fear that imho, you speak better than you write. I reckon it's your English standard, I felt like reading Shakespere, feeling lost at the end of the content. In simpler words, your writing is excellent but I have simple vocabulary in store of my braincells that they are unable to decipher your composition. Have a nice day. Good job!
