Assalamualaikum wbt ...
yes ... give it time ... macam buah kelepong kata orang negeri sembilan ... dah masak dia timbul sendiri ... tak payah nak kacau kacau ...
a week or so ago ... i met someone who was out of my experience ... she was insisting on something and in the process i "kena" left and right ... butting into the tirade was not an option as she bombarded me with her collections of english cliche and idioms ... i kept my blood iced ... menikus je ... because i have learned to listen and one must listen well in order to mitigate the banjir of words both pleasant and unpleasant ... mostly in English ...
when she was done ... perlahan perlahan saya cakap ... what do you do actually ...
and she jawab maaaacam puan yang sorang tu sini ... "i tak kerja ... menghabiskan duit laki je" ... haha
okay despite the earlier harshness ... she had good sense of humour ...
you're a very lucky girl ... i responded ...
and feeling warmer i took a guess ... you must be a lawyer ...
ha ... do i look like one ... she was surprised ...
well you talked like one ... i said (based upon my experience with loyar buruk lah not real loyar hehe ...)
she said no i tak kerja ...
then you must be running your own business ... i pressed on ...
so ... cakap cakap cakap lagi ... finally ... dah habis conversation ... sambil saying goodbyes saya tanya lagi ... so what do you do actually ...
i am an undertaker ... mengurus jenazah ... she finally surprised me ...
ha ... that's very unique ... kenapa susah sangat nak cakap dari tadi ... i can inform others kalau ada keperluan ... mana you belajar ... i asked ...
majlis agama Islam negeri ... she jawab ...
saying goodbye for real now ... i said bagi nombor and nama untuk contact kalau perlu ...
my name is very very unique itu sebab susah nak cakap ni ...
how unique can it be ... macam angelina jolie ke ... i said because she looked like an arab pun ada and punjabi pun ada with attire macam orang putih ...
now real goodbye ... macam kuih manis sedap sangat kuih kelepong tu bila dah masak dia timbul ...
so finally our undertaker has a name and nombor ... nama memang sungguh lain dari yang lain ...

this encounter stucked in my mind for awhile ... sampai menggugle gugle ... pengurusan jenazah ...
sebab kalau di kampung, atau kalau berkariah orang kita sama sama menguruskan jenazah ... it is not a business it is fardu kifayah or so my ignorant mind bersoal jawab ... minda saya ni suka bersoal jawab ... banyak soal my adik said hehe ...
then teringat pula that this may be a necessity untuk mereka yang berada di negara bukan islam ...
~
tetiba hari ini ... terbaca pula ini ...
~
many things ... given sufficient time ... banyak persoalan di minda akan terjawab dengan sendirinya ...
