this is a follow up on the last post.
i went to the kitchen, to get some grubs and overheard tok wans’ conversation with my pharmacist aunt,
tok wan : buat apa hang hantaq anak hang blajaq jd doctor?
aunt : depa nak blajaq lagu tu, nak buat lagu mana..
tok wan : hang tgk mcm ewin (thats my nickname) tu, gheja unemployed, gaji lebih 6 ribu…
aunt : ??? … pak wan, unemployed tu tade keje..
tok wan : hang jgn nak sekolahkan aku plak. unemployed tu lg tinggi dari manager. nama gheja die tu pon dah mat salleh abes..
aunt nodded, agreeing. she cant say much.
org tue kate, dengar ckp org tue, dorg lg byk makan garam.
its amazing how “keras kepale” our elders can be. perhaps i have set my foot wrongly in the first place. from now on, he’ll think ‘unemployed’ is a post higher than managers.
p/s: next post will be the correction..
