pukul berapa datuk harimau

::Trying to determine what is going on in the world by reading newspapers is like trying to tell the time by watching the second hand of a clock.::

hulloh.

pagi tadi masa tgh bfast kat dapur, tiba2 terdgr jam kat ruang tamu bunyi, menandakan dah 7am. mak aku kelam-kabut, sbb x solat subuh lagi. tapi time tu jugak aku teringat, kdg2 jam kat ruang tamu tu kdg2 dia start bunyi 5 mins before the actual time (eg. chimes at 5 mins to the hour, then stops, n after 5 mins continues with the music). just to make sure, aku tgk jam kat dapur. yup, 5 mins to 7 alright.

ptg tadi balik2 kerja aku nak buat air utk minum. terpandang gak kat jam dapur, and guess what, it's 5 mins to 7. tiba2 teringat kejadian paginya... eh laa, jam ni rosak rupa2nya. dan secara tiba2 gak, felt a bit freaky, sbb i'm among the last person to see the clock ticking pagi tadi.

pastu lepas maghrib, dah habis makan sume, nak gi basuh tangan. terpandang sekali lagi jam dapur. 8 pm?? wha? mmg tergamam gak aa for a split second. seriously i thought the clock was dead. then it came to me, yg sebenarnya jam tu still ticking all this while. n kebetulan utk pg dan mlmnya, time aku tgk jam tu 5 mins to 7. hehe mcm bongok lak rasa.

tapi kan, mcm mana aku boleh x perasan yg jarum saat tu bergerak ke x? sbb for sure aku tgk jam tu lama to determine the time. ke selama ni aku mmg suka membuat deduksi sendiri berdasarkan pemerhatian yg sekelip mata? heh, so much for a self-proclaimed meticulous, observant person.

one of my friends once said to me that whenever she sees the digital clock, it would always be sth like 2:22, 12:12, 2:34, etc. admit it, it's kinda scary. in a digital way. a sign, maybe? wallahualam...

sometimes we fear what we do not know.

ok chiow.
