1. You think Hollywood sucks
last week atok ajak tengok citer spiderman. spiderman lum kuar tp dia bg cadangan je. i rejected the idea there and then. buang masa seh tgk CGI-laden movie. baik nenek tgk citer melayu. senang sket nk phm apa dia ckp. (even when i said that, i knew i sounds old. haha)
2. Your preference run more towards educational stuff
after i rejected his idea, he asked me what movie i want to watch. "waris jari hantu". i said. atok buat muka becos last time when i watched jangan pandang belakang, i was hiding behind his ketiak most of the time. "ok la tgk waris jari hantu. i want to know about saka and errr…transvestite". i reasoned with him. (listen to the phrase "i want to know". since when la i watch movie for its substance. hishh). he concede but we didn’t watch the movie. we went somewhere else.
"awk pilih nk g genting ke nk g sungai congkak ke nak g putrajaya" he told me. oh my god. i’m sucks at making decision. i hate making decision. so i gave him a list of my shortlisted preferences. "erm…g sungai congkak. kt sana pokok2 dia ada nama. boleh sy kenal jenis2 pokok. and mebi kita g putrajaya. the building designs are very good". my goodness. even when i said that, i realized that i sounds old.
"siyes tanak g genting?" atok asked me for a last time. i recognized the tactic to make me pening kepala nk wat decision. not a chance baby. "tanak. genting bosan. ada permainan je. bukan ada apa pun". oh my god…can u believe i said that? me neither…
3. You feel sorry to the gedik girls
when we came to sungai congkak, not many people were there. (oh, for ur information, we picked a place where families have their litle picnic. bukan kt jauh dlm hutan yang senang nk buat projek). bila dh puas mandi, a group of teenage girls mandi kt spot betul2 depan kami piknik. they were… loud. keja derg asyik menjerit ngade2 tu.
when i was young, nenek pun suka menjerit because i want to grab guys attention. i was so sure they were doing exactly that because there were some guys their age nearby. suddenly, i feel very sorry to them. dont they realize that by doing that, nobody thinks it was cute? people just think they were atention-seeking-girls-who-wear-white-because-they-want-to-show-off-their-bras. (thankfully my sins were just being loud. not wearing white). even atok rolled his eyes watching them.
people my age capture guys attention by being calm, matured and a little mysterious. because loud = immature, mysterious = mature.haha…i’m old already.
4. u climb the stairs and feel its like climbing mountain
my house is in level 5, the top floor. i climbed lots of stairs in UTP, mind u, because my house was on the top floor also. i hardly use lifts to my classes even though its on top floor. so my health was in tip-top condition!
but why oh why…bila nk naik tangga kt rumah ni, selalu benar pancitnye. usually nenek kena g kt ‘pit stop’ kt tingkat 4 to catch my breath before meneruskan perjalanan ke tingkat 5. huh!
5. people call u ‘makcik’ and u dont even mind
there’s this one girl kt tingkat 4 yang boleh tahan friendlynya. bila dia nmpk nenek, dia sure akan tegur. "makcik, makcik baru balik? nak balik rumah ye? rumah makcik kt mana?" and nenek akan layan bebelannya and if i happen to have biskut ke, coklat ke, i’ll give her some. and i dont mind that she call me makcik because i think its appropriate. haih.
i hope she didn’t call me ‘makcik’ because i do look old. my goodness. itu adalah scary.
6. you become more forgetful
its ok to be forgetful if ur name is Nur Dyana Leham. (hehe…sori D…) but for someone who previously can boast ur mind power and prowess to other people, its a shame when u keep forgetting small stuff.
for the past few weeks, i’ve left my stuff in atok’s car everytime we went dating. atok dh buat every preventive measure he can think of but to no avail. barang2 nenek still ade yg tertingal kt keta dia. yang pening kepala tentulah dia sbb dia yang kena patah balik nk hantar barang nenek yang tertinggal.
for those yang tertanya-tanya what type of stuff yang tertinggal kt keta atok, well, its nothing really. kadang2 nenek tertinggal handphone, kadang2 lipstik. klu baru shopping tu, barang yang baru beli tu. takdela tertinggal bra ke ape ke which make a damning crime scene klu dijumpai oleh abah dia. (hahaha…kadang2 t’pk nk kenakan dia camtu. tp takut nenek yang kena reject by his daddy nnt)
so,after dh habis dating, before i went out of the car, he said "tunggu dulu! check sumer barang ade ke tak." and we both checked my stuff. after we both satisfied that nothing is left behind, nenek pun kuar dr kereta. that night, after i had my bath and preparing to sleep, i remembered something. i texted him, "err…awk. i think my other handphone tertinggal kt beg dlm beg laptop awk la. hehe.." (i have 2 handphones). seconds later he called me - using my handphone. haha ..
atok: "awaaaak…apsal la ada lagi yang tertinggal niiiiii…."
nenek: "hehe…sori la. terlupa la… "
then i have to tadah telinga dengan bebelan dia sampai abes kredit handphone nenek. this time he refuse to pulangkan handphone nenek. "i’ll keep this until next week"…
padan muka nenek.
