The ultimate level of anger for me is not when I go silent.
It is when I no longer want to listen.

Oh, terima kasih banyak-banyak.
Ni… ada satu group nak buat baju.
Okay, boleh. Baju macam mana tu Pak Tam?
Baju elok la sikit. Tak mau la buat baju hat kualiti tak berapa elok.
Of course! Baju kami mana ada kualiti tak berapa elok Pak Tam.
Mana la tau kan. Depa nak baju berkolar hat elok la.
Pak Tam tak pernah tengok baju Airwings yang kat kelab tu kot?
Tengok dah. Tapi hangpa takdak bagi ai dua tiga lai pun.
Hah? Bagi?
Ya la. Cuba bagi kat ai dua tiga lai tengok. Hahaha.
Kami berniaga tak macam tu Pak Tam. Kami selalunya bagi free untuk anak-anak yatim saja.
Hah, tak kisah la. Ni projek besaq ni. 150 pack. Bajet depa RM50.00 satu pack. Tapi ai ambik RM3.00. So nanti ai bagi yu RM47.00 saja la.

Iya lah Pak Tam. Takkan bagi baju elok, tiba-tiba topi buat hat buruk pulak!
So satni ai bagi yu the contact person punya email, yu discuss dengan dia la. Tapi tu la… ai bagitau yu awai-awai, ai nak RM3.00 per pack.

Depa nak design hat simple-simple saja.
Iya lah. Dah ada ke design simple nya tu?
Ai pun tak tau la. Nanti yu tanya depa sendiri. Okay na.
Hmmm okay.

I called my partner and told him this, verbatim.
Airwings is NOT taking up the project.

Siri Bercakap Dengan Edrick XLIV
Posted in Monchies, tagged Single-Parenting on September 12, 2013| 2 Comments »
On the way to school Wednesday morning, as we were merging into the right lanes near PWTC, Edrick came up with a question…
.
Edrick: Mom, are my eyebrows too bushy?
Kitreena: Edrick, this is the THIRD time you asked Mommy this question!
Edrick: I know, but I wanna know if my eyebrows are too bushy.
Mommy: What do you think, Edrick? Do you think your eyebrows are TOO bushy?
Edrick: Ummm yeah, I think so, Mom.
Mommy: What makes you think your eyebrows are too bushy?
Edrick: Because when I look in the mirror, when it’s dark, my eyebrows look like they are attached.
Kitreena: Hahahahahaha! They are attached to YOU, silly goose.
Edrick: No, I mean they look like they are attached to each other.
Kitreena: Hahahahahaha!
Mommy: Hahahahahaha!
.
I thought of Awie Wings for a while. And then my mind switched to one Japanese samurai/ninja cartoon character on TV who has one eyebrow that stretches across the forehead. I looked at my son from the rear view mirror and fell in love with his bushy eyebrows all over again.

Siri Bercakap Dengan Edrick XLIII
Posted in Inside Enida, Monchies, tagged Healing, sad songs, Single-Parenting on September 8, 2013| Leave a Comment »
I was sitting at the round dining table, listening to Deja Vu by Shila Amzah when Edrick stopped by on his way upstairs. It was just before bedtime, 1930hrs.
.
Edrick: Mom… *he looks at my face looking for words*
Mommy: What is it sweetheart?
Edrick: Mom, is it okay if you don’t listen to sad songs?
Mommy: Ohhh? Oh okay.
Edrick: I think it’s making me feel uncomfortable.
Mommy: Oh I’m sorry about that, sayang. All right, I’ll listen to something else.
Edrick: And Mom, I think sad songs make YOU feel uncomfortable too.
Mommy: Oh don’t worry about me, I’m okay. I’ll be okay.
Edrick: Okay, but I think you should keep sad songs away, Mom.
Mommy: Yes, sir! I sure will.
.
He pulled me into his arms, hugged me longer than usual, said his goodnight, his I-love-you, his don’t-let-the-big-bug-bite routine and went to bed.
.
I was left feeling so loved, and I knew… it wasn’t the sad song that made me cry.

Ada serigala…
yang lapar diperutku,
yang marah dibenakku.
Segala yang terbakar
menjadi abu.
Segala yang tersimpan
menjadi aku.
Aku tahu siapa menipu.
