:: Wat Tak Tau Jer ::

Kali ni kita wat tak tau jer. Wat pekak badak, kalau boleh mintak ngan Tuhan suruh pekak terus pun ok. Buat apa? Buat tak tahu dah la. Jgn banyak soal, buat tak tahu jer. Kali ni lembut sket. Kelmarin dulu gi kenduri umah kawan Wells. So, oleh kerana kenduri tu dalam kawasan pedalaman, then suasana cukup meriah. Ramai giler orang datang. Yang paling seronoknye, adat kemelayuan masih belum berkubur. English cakap "TEAMWORK". Dan perkataan "BACKWASH" ada kebenarannya. Langsung tak ada istilah "SELF SERVICE". Semuanya makan berhidang. Ramai "Anak Ikan" yang jadi rewang. Belakang rumah, pasti riuhnya membangkitkan suasana. Duduk-duduk aje, satu hidangan bertalam datang melabuh betul-betul depan kita orang. Fuh.. gulai daging semerbak rempahnya berasap-rasap lagi. Kene pulak bercampur dengan aroma sambal belacan yg bergaul dengan mangga mudadan limau nipis. Orang belah sini panggil "Gulai Darat". Meaning, gulai daging yg paling best dan hanya terdapat di kawasan hulu or pedalaman, tak lengkap kalau tak bergandingan dengan ikan gelama kering goreng, then ada pulak kerisik kacang panjang bersama hati lembu. Cukup gah hidangannya, tak perlu nasi minyak or nasi arab or nasi tomato. Cukup dengan nasi putih dan air sirap manis-manis buah sebagai pelancar hadaman. Sebagai pencuci mulut, tak mungkin dapat ditandingi kehebatan labu sira. Malangnya tak dapat nak "tapau".

Bukan pasal hidangan kenduri yang nak diuar-uarkan. Tapi apabila rewang si "anak ikan" ni datang bawak hidangan tu saya dan Wells berpandangan. Wells cuba bagitau yg alat yg dipegang oleh anak ikan tersebut adalah "TALAM". Tanpa talam tu katanya susah nak angkat hidangan tersebut. Talam tu jugak susah nak cari pada zaman sekarang ini cuma yg banyak sekarang di pasaran adalah "TALAM 2 MUKA". Wells suruh saya terjemah dalam English. Forget about it.


See what happen below:

TEN THINGS ALLAH WON'T ASK ON THAT DAY

ALLAH won't ask what kind of car you drove. He'll ask how many people you drove who didn't have transportation

ALLAH won't ask the square footage of your house, He'll ask how many people you welcomed into your home

ALLAH won't ask about the clothes you had in your closet, He'll ask how many you helped to clothe

ALLAH won't ask what your highest salary was. He'll ask if you compromised your character to obtain it

ALLAH won't ask what your job title was. He'll ask if you performed your job to the best of your ability

ALLAH won't ask how many friends you had. He'll ask how many people to whom you were a friend

ALLAH won't ask in what neighborhood you lived, He'll ask how you treated your neighbors

ALLAH won't ask about the color of your skin, He'll ask about the content of your character

ALLAH won't ask why it took you so long toseek Salvation. He'll lovingly take you to your mansion in heaven, and not to the gates of Hell

ALLAH won't have to ask how many people you forwarded this to, He already knows your decision

I received this from someone who thinks. I am a 'keeper', so I've sent it to the people. I think of in the same way.. Now it's your turn too. Inform this to those people that are "keepers" in your life. Good friends are like stars.... You don't always see them, but you know they are always there. Keep them close!

Pernah dulu keluar dinner ngan Wells. Dinner kat satu club yg saya sendiri tak pernah masuk. Aras 18, tower 01. Inilah first time pakai TUX berharga 8k. Masa makan Wells berbisik kat saya, "Som! Kalau kau rasa kau makan gelojoh dengan sudu, cuba makan nasi tu dengan garpu." Dan saya turuti kata-katanya. Memang betul, agak janggal tetapi ianya memberikan kepuasan apabila Iranian kat sebelah bertanya, "Which country are U?" Belum habis di sini. Saya cuba bertanya kepada Wells apa yg tersirat di sebalik penggunaan garpu tersebut, dan inilah Wells cakap, "Kau nak guna sudu yg bekas mulut org? Jarang org guna garpu masuk mulut. Masih bersih bukan? Hati-hati kalau melantak dgn orang kaya. Inilah caranya untuk meletakkan kita sebaris dgn mereka. And U did it, congrats." Saya hanya mampu tersenyum, tip yg menarik.
