antidotal anecdote

::We are masters of the unsaid words, but slaves of those we let slip out. ::

i'm pretty sure what i'm going to tell is not as funny as i think it is, but i just wanna get this out of the system. sbb aku takut org ingat aku saiko tiba2 gelak sorg2, be it dlm bilik air, tgh basuh pinggan, or dlm komuter.

my coursemates and i were taking our lunch at a cafe. one of them (whom i should call Mr.J or Hj.J) have met my dad earlier during makan2 time raya, so he knew about the heart attack, the scheduled angio, etc. and he also have undergone angioplasty. so normallah kan aku nak tau apa akan terjadi pd bapak aku seterusnya. therein goes the conversation:

Aku: MrJ dulu ok je kan lepas buat angiogram kan?
Mr.J: ha'ah.. saya boleh buat angioplasty. oo ayah mcm mana?
A: ayah saya xleh buat angioplasty tu...
J: oo ye ke. block dah serious sgt eh?
A: ha'ah... ada tiga salur yg serious.
K Syud: (ckp sth tapi aku lupa apa) <--- nak tunjuk yg k syud pun ada masa ni
A: ada satu tu, yg belah kiri, block sampai 100plus...
S: (dah gelak terkekek2 dah ni)
A: eh 100plus pulak. 100percent.
S: (sambung gelak)

sudahnya aku dgn k syud gelak x ingat (sambil makan pulak tu). aaa bengong boleh pulak tersasul time2 topik serius. yg aku xleh stop gelak sbb HjJ tu muka dia rilek je makan masa aku salah sebut n masa kitorg gelak2 tu. mcm xde apa2 je. either he's oblivious to the word slip (which i highly doubt, sbb kitorg bukannya ketawa sembunyi sopan ke), or he's one hell of an actor. and of course, susah jugak la nak sambung perbualan tu, sbb aku nak ckp je tergelak, dgr k syud gelak pun nak tergelak, tgk muka HjJ pun nak tergelak.

ada org kata org2 yg mempunyai pekerjaan mcm aku je yg akan anggap salah eja, salah tulis ni kelakar. ye lah kan, we're afterall paid to read those documents, to detect any typo errors.. so it's like 2nd nature to us. x caya tanya org lain. kitorg boleh jadikan benda yg org tersasul or salah tulis tu isu yg tahan berhari2.

.... or not. maybe it's just me. even my nickname is originated from a tersasul-ed word.

heh, mungkin org lain x nampak apa yg lawaknya. xpelah, yg penting aku mungkin xkan senyum sorg2 lepas ni.

ok chiow.
