Anedra
I gave her direction to my place over the phone. Make a left turn, I said as I wave wave my left hand, to make sure that my left-right direction was not wrong. After the toll, take the first left and turn left and turn left again.
And so when she called sounding like a damsel in distress because she found herself in wasteland, with abandoned palm oil plantation on her left, and ruined buildings of the ancient on her right, I thought to myself.. waaa this one got more problem with left and right than me. Good, good. Another thing we have in common (the first one is: we both leaked in class in standard 1).
And so I walked out from my office, left the impossible-to-miss yellow building and waited for her by the roadside. Saw her car (she gave description of colour and registration number) and waved like mad.
Luckily she stopped.
The car was quite a climb to get into. She should have warned me, I would have carried ropes, helmet, safety harness all.
Hugssss. Hi-s. Smiles. Grins.
She wore red over black and I was green over black. None of us were in kebayas. No sangguls, face not made up too. No pretense, no cyber-synonym to hide ourselves, we were washed off of any alias. We were both either jennifer garners or sydney bristows. And I felt so comfortable. We decided to eat in a proper restaurant (the gardenia bread I carefully selected for her would be kept for tea later, she said).
And it was not at all like meeting a new friend. Honestly, the coziness made me feel like I have known her for ages. We talked and talked, and laughed a lot and even shared the food (no, she did not steal my spaghetti). There was age difference of 5 years between us, but I did not feel it. If there were any other stark differences between us, they weren’t obvious to me. There was our whole lifetime of not knowing each other but the gap was closed like it was never there at all, in an instant!
How to describe her?
The sweetest of face, an ever-ready smile, great sense of humour, a huge heart, very much lovable, intelligent, doesn’t need dieting, loves seafood. Lucky blessed me! It is like being promised a gardenia bun but getting tiramisu instead. If from reading her spot you think she is a warm person, well you should meet her. She is just volcanic!
More important than the tiramisu and the fahrenheit, she is like a well-worn cotton tee. Comfortable like mad! I like!

not knowing left and right tu keturunan sapa? glad you all got on like house on fire. tell me, what is 'gardenia'?
kak teh
gardenia is a brand name, macam roti federal, roti hi-5, roti bai. i bought her yang panjang 4 inci ada coklat krim kat tengah. 5 kupang!
And kak teh, thank you for .. a lot of things lah!
Since i have survived her, meeting you would be like tayar lama on fire ya?
alhamdulillah..nice innit to get a new friend through blogging?
*smile*
syiok nya.....
and i guess if she's like a well worn cotton tee, she's gotta be:
1. stretched (what do you mean don't need diet?)
2. probably spotty or holey (zits and spots all over)
3. masyam smelling. hmmmmm?? sniff!
and if she's like tiramisu, then she must be...err, ITALIAN!! betol lah tu! (betul tak KakTeh?)
the company was great, brings out the volcano in me! hehe!
Congrats. I married one a lot
like her. Never regretted in
for a second.
