Helo, my name Mat.

I just HAVE to write about this.

It’s frikkin’ funny and amusing but also, inspiring la jugak that I just HAVE to write about this.

I was in a Mamak, tapau-ing for my famished familia at home, when this under-aged looking dude came to me. He had this spiky hair-do loaded with gel, smells like he has just combed in a whole Brylcreem pot on his head and was wearing a hideous T-Shirt with a pair of cargos that sweeps the floor. He had acne on his forehead and is actually quite cute, provided, if I am a 17 year old.

“Kak.”

“Ah?”

“Sorang je?”

I could not help but to ask;

“Nampak orang ke kat sebelah akak?”

“Heh… tak?” he said, sheepishly.

For a moment I was alarmed that maybe unconsciously, I have left my fly undone or a stray booger was hanging shamelessly on my nostril. Teenagers could sometimes be mean and crude.

I know, I was one (A teenager I meant), and their honest but impolite remarks could reduce a grown up to tears.

“Akak, Nama saya Mat.”

I was so tempted to introduce myself as Minah but managed to restrain my sarcastic self.

“Kenapa eh?”

“Nak kenal akak boleh?”

“Umur u berapa eh?”

“20.” I went bloody hell, he’s my brother’s age!

“U tau tak umur akak berapa?”

“Saya suka orang yang lebih matang dari saya.” He said, with a grin across his face.

Luckily, I was wearing my solitaire diamond ring and I was wearing it on my left hand.

“I dah kahwinla. Anak satu.”

“Mana anak akak?”

He’eh!

“Kat rumahlah.”

“Akak tak nampak macam dah kahwin la.”

“Eh… baguslah.”

For once in my life, the Mamak dude saved the day by coming up to me with my order. I paid the guy, smiled to Mat and left.

When I was thinking about it in the car, I was flattered that a young dude approached me and actually find big assed size 12 ol’ me attractive. It was his courage and his willingness to take no for an answer that impressed me. If only grown men have at least half (a quarter pun will do) of his courage, then maybe us single women would not be put off by their cowardly disposition as much.

Kudos Mat… keep up the good work. Cayalah!

A short totally unrelated note;

I am not saying that I support Pak Lah much, but people, give him a break - lah. The man's marrying a woman he loves, and even if the woman of his choice was his housekeeper and his late wife's SIL, I thought it was a bit harsh for everyone to throw criticism and to say that his marriage compromised his ability to be the PM (That's another story... ) .

This just doesn't make any sense, grow up and stop sending me emails about him getting married already. I have CNN, Al-Jazeera, BBC, CNBC and Buletin Utama to give me all the info I need.
