dalam route ade Bandar Taunton ...
ape sepesialnye ... nothing maybe to most ...
but here resided the Walking Dictionary of Taunton ...
and
he called me a TROGLODYTE
... a cave dweller ...
he he ... sebabnye?
kami share room ... 3 of us in the big office ... (ni di brunei ye)
... my place was facing the window ... so it was a bit silau ...
so i kind of tutup window blind tu ...
beliau masuk ... pegi buke ...
and i said i like it tertutup sikit ... and he said ... you are a TROGLODYTE ...
this Englishman was as senior as my ayahande ... orang rumahnye dari Sarawak ... but he being English ... i did not need to open my dictionary too much ... he provided me with instant answers ...
he has already retired masa adik dan akak menghayau-menghayau ni ...
but i had his address ...
so akak sughuh adik caghi juge ghumah nye ... pusing-pusing sampai jumpe ...
hmmm ... jumpe dah ... ketuk-ketuk ... tak ade oghang
so i left a note ...

Assalamualaikum REAL,
ReplyDeleteSham pun kalau ter-ber-jumpa semula dlm keadaan yg sedemikian, mau berjujuran air mata jugak.
Sejak dah semakin "senja" ni, jiwa jadi terlalu rapuh.
Sikit2 nangis, sikit2 nak nangis..
Kalau dulu anak2 di sini siap tunggu dgn kamera sbb nak snap pic Cik Sham nangis, sekarang x perlu lagi.. sbb air mata Cik Sham sgt murah harga-nya hari ini.
Wa'alaikumussalam wbt,
ReplyDeleteDear Sham ... selalu nye saye sembunyi bile nak nangis ... ni kalau nangis marah lah ... he he ...
... but hati tersentuh bile tengok elders ... and kind people ... and those that have touched our heart ... regardless of where they come from ...
... mungkin kawan pun hairan kenapa si hajjah ...
... like another colleague who informed me that a certain professor has died ... he read the news in a our professional journal ... and terus lagi keluar air mata depan kawan tu ... i said sorry ... but he was a very very kind person ... not only as a professor but to me as a foreign student who was having tough time adjusting ...
... however, I am not good at keeping in touch ... life has a way of keeping us busy ... so now I have no idea how our Dear Friend in Taunton is ...
Thank U Sham :)
