A good laugh.

The conversation me, Ayah and Mama had yesterday over KFC at dinner.

Me: Ayah, dah ready ke nak dapat grandson? *after looking at one cute little boy syok sendiri menari-nari kt KFC tu*

Ayah: *straight face*

Mama: Macamana nak timang yah?

Ayah: *thinking* Takucita tenggiling panjat dapo...bla bla bla

*everyone laughed*

Me: Macamana eh nak timang in English. Adik nak cakap English ngan anak-anak adik. Kena la start dari baby. Kalau orang Melayu kan timang cakap, 'Ala bucuk-bucuk...nak cakap dengan atuk ye? Alololo..iye saya..iye saya..nak cakap ape tu..yada yada yada'*

Ayah: *thinking*

*Mama and I were busy munching our chicken*

Ayah: Ala smelly smelly...you want to talk to grandpa?

*Everyone burst out laughing. Mama almost choked the chicken*

Me: Tu direct translation gila. Takdenye mat saleh timang anak dia camtu.

Ayah: Ha yelah, dah kata nak English.

Mama: Yang takucita tu macamana pulak?

Me: Tenggiling apa ek in English?

Ayah: *thinking* Takucita tenggiling climb the kitchen...

*Again, everyone burst out laughing sampai keluar air mata*

.

This conversation is better heard, than read. Sebab takucita tu ada melody dia. Kalau dengar baru rasa lawak, kot?

But whatever it is, I had a great time with the parents yesterday. Gelak tak ingat. I am already missing them :((( Homesickkkk, cepatlah Sabtu nak balik Seremban.



p/s: Tenggiling in English is 'pangolin' ye rakan taulan sekalian.
