Satu Ketika Dahulu

it was a hot day today. hilang mood nak buat apa. apatah lagi nak masuk dapur and masak. furthermore dlm fridge tu dah takde apa stock yg tinggal and bole dimasak. musim panas ni, kalau masuk dapur memasak skrg ni, peluh senang je mencurah2 and abis basah lenjun. and the next u know, MyBetterHalf would be complaining that i kuat masin skrg ni, uweekkk.. hehehe.

so, malam ni after received a text from my darling neighbour cik Biqque, informing us that the new food place kat our neighbourhood named Warung Pak Ali that the food they serve is quite tasty, me and My BetterHalf decided to have our dinner over there. While waiting for our food to be served, tiba-tiba he popped out this question;

MBH : Masa kecik2 dulu u ada main tukar2 biodata tak ngan sesapa ngan budak yg u suka?

Me : Huh? Game apa tu? (seriously blur and dont understand what his saying)

MBH : Takde? (bulat mata dia masa ni. hello??? we lives in different era.. u are early 70's boy and im a late 70's gurl!)

Me : Game apa main tukar2 biodata ni? Kecik2 dah main carik jodoh ke?

MBH : Hahahahaha... seriously dulu masa i kecik2, we will ask the gurl for their biodata. Tu konon nak tunjuk u are interested with that gurl. U akan tanya dia "saya nak biodata awak bole?"

Me : Ada yg response ke?

MBH : Ada... kalo dia response maknanya she likes u too! U will exchange ur datas with her.

Me : I wonder apa korang letak dlm biodata tu.

MBH : Normal stuff.. nama.. birthday.. faveret color...faveret food and drink... and hobbies.

Me : Perghhh.. sebijik cam Aunty Devi... (my ex neighbour when i was kid who fed me thosai,
idli for breakfast every single day!) Aunty Devi matchmake org macam tu la. hahahaa

MBH : Lebe kurang la.. Kitaorg pun bole letak senarai asset and strengths yg kitaorg ada in this
biodata.. (dgn nada bangga.)

Me : Huh? Agak2 la.. apa sgt la asset or kelebihan yg korang ada masa tu?

MBH : Byk.... Pandai main bola ke, melukis ke... lagi hebat kalo u ada... beskal BMX! Confirm you are one of hot stuff!

Oh M G.. Jaw dropping! Giler la... kecik2 dah macam tu. Seriously during my time mmg takde org mintak biodata watsoever. Well, maybe because i was brought up at a small town named Tg.Malim where everyone knows each other and most parents kenal sesama dema kitaorg takyah susah2 tukar biodata kot? Unlike MyBetterHalf, he was brought up in KL for his entire life. His loves for this city mmg tak boleh nak disangkal! That's anor reason why he hates the idea of balik kg for more than 2 days! Maximum is 3! If u survive 2 days pun dah cukup baik... Tulah MyBetterHalf!

Well, when i was kid, we dont do the thing he says. But i do remember that most of us have our own "Autograph Book". We, mostly gurls have that kind of book. We'll exchange among us and shall write sthing nice on that book. Words of praises, pantun 4 kerat, mini drawing or such. The efforts we put in decorating the book, memang superb! Lagi hebat dari Art homework yg cikgu suh buat kat sekolah! LOL.

I can clearly recalled there was an occasion where i asked arwah Papa to sketch me and my good frenz Eve&Sid (both are twins) before they migrate to Canada, in their Autograph Book. Papa is very talented guy and was gifted with that talent. He was an artist when he was in his school days and still doing great till he got married to my mum. The role as husband and a father, had limits his time to draw. But till todate im very proud with his work, i clearly remember how happy we were to see that sketches when the 1st time we saw it. Sangat cantik and cute too! ;)

So i guess wat i went through during my childhood maybe banyak yg tak sama ngan MyBetterHalf. He lives in different era... The 70s.. And im very much the 80s baby... Writing this make me realised that soon, in 4 yrs time, im married to a 40 years old man. Pergghhh.. Gila tua...

And i have to say, dalam banyak2 game pun, i loveeeeeeeee Super Mario Bros! I was a Champ! Something i can be proud of and can be put in that Biodata!
