Laughter is da best medicine ....

Sorry for disappearing. Me already got a job now and da hanky-panky lifestyle of mine had to be paused a litt' while. No more wakie-wakie in da noon, no more tele nor astro, no more hang-outs wif mates at starbucks (ey siang beta puasa tau) . and I must say, working life is totally a boredom.

S-H-A-M-E

Hence, while I was idling at da office today (nasib baik x kantoiii), da fate has brought me to aliaroxic's blog which can be found at (aliaroxic.livejournal.com). Granted, my memory flashes back to da day when we were working our a**es together in MSLS 07. Alia Sidek shared a true story which happened to her brother's fiance (as she then was) whilst we were having tea in da evening (luckily our boss WMF didnt see)

So, dis is how da story goes:



THE ENGLISH TOUCH

Future Groom (FG): Hi X, me and XX gonna wed soon

X (bukan nama sebenar): O Really (wif her brits accent) ?!?! Congratulations and may God bless both of u everlastingly.

Future Bride (FB): Thank you, Mind joining our reception?

X : Definitely. Wud love to. When and whereabout?

(FG): Date: .................................. (private n confidential)
Venue: ............................... (bla bla bla)

X (in an astonishing mode): Owh, I'm afraid I cant make it due to an earlier commitment. I'm
terribly sorry.

FB: Dats shame. We really hope u can make it.

X (wif her long-guilty-face) : I am so sorry

FG: naaaaaaaaaaaa its ok. We totally understand

X : Again, please accept my apology. I seriously mean it.

FG : Naaaaaaaaaa no worries dear. U can always come to my second one

FB : Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr (grumpily)




THE MALAY VERSION
(Narrated by Nina, da happening mistress-planner 4 birthday treats)


Everytime Nona (not a real name) returns to her hometown, she'll never escape from being ambushed with such an annoying question - "na, biler ko nak naik pelamin plak?" and she profusely (wif a really nice mellowing polite note) - "insyaAllah ada jodoh naiklah saya. doakan jer laaa" but deep inside her heart, her devilish voice screams - "suka ati aku laaaaa nak kawin ke tak, yg ko busy body* nie ape kes?"

But one day, she cudnt take it anymore. She just 'bloated' up

Lets hear da story:

Nana: Eh Nona, Never seen u for ages

Nona: I've been bz wif uni

Nana: So its ur sista getting married yah

Nona: Yeah, it seems so (reluctantly aka dah tahu tanye lagi)

Nana: Waaaaaa how lengaaaaa (its kantonese) . Sumer family ko dah naik pelamin. Tinggal
