marriage won't change nothing but your name

"remember hairi?" mom asked me
"who's that?"

"cik tipah's son. the one you bite his hand" she replied.
"why? he got into jail?" i replied.

hairi,
i remembered biting his thumb hard. and then he cried. and later on, my mom placed me inside the same cot as his. i wanted OUT.
and how old was i then? 2 years old.
that's how far back i can remember.

well anyway.
"what happened?" i asked
"dah khawin (got married)" mom answered

"what? when? how old is he?" i was taken aback
"today. same age as you"


like what on earth. the day after my birthday, someone i knew as a toddler got married already? my age.


"kalau dah jodoh. [if theres affinity between them]" mom trailed her sentence
"no such thing! is he stupid? dumb? shotgun?"


immediately, i ran to Science, whom was still on. i started typing this.
ouh, how i cant live without talking to Science. (:
bah, and just 24 hours ago, i was on the topic of marriage with d-fault and shawnrick and hasif

midnight morning

that was the problem. i was unwillingly early. i traded a comfortable half an hour of sleep just to be ahead of time. just to be there before the others do. it was my first 'stay out' day. the time was 0532hours and i was already at the bus stop awaiting for 985. the first bus leaves the interchange at 0530hours and it would take 22 minutes to reach my stop. great.so that leaves me with another 20 minutes to wait. so i sat at the bus stop patiently. there was no other soul around. no signs of any passerbys. no one. all were still in the safe comfort of their own home. the road was empty. like as if i was the only one living in solitude. no bright headlights zoomed pass me. darkness all around. a sense of fear permeate through me. like a jolt. my eyelids weighed a few pounds at that moment. just a little too much to handle. especially when i have not been receiving enough rest during my stay-in period during the course. the only company i had that kept me from dozing at the bus
