I boleh berpantun!
The mandatory econs remedial class on every Monday that stretches from 1430 to 1700 can be quite an anal retentive, not to mention rather dreary. It's not as if I don't bother to pay attention, I do make an effort to take notes and listen but at times like these, the mind just shuts down to such academic pursuits.
So I succumbed to temptation and....
Exchanged malay poems with Hajar
Never in my young life had I felt such a strong Malay can-do spirit or rather 'Melayu Boleh!'
(Of course, this high could be attributed to coffee and hot fudge sundaesssss.)
It started with a painfully lame pantun:
Pecah kaca, pecah gelas
Sudah baca, boleh balas
After which, Hajar replied with a:
Tak ada apa yang patut dikata
Pergi mampus lah Farhana
(HAHA tak menjadi, siot.)
Ibu sibuk menggosok baju kurung
Hendak berjalan-jalan di bandar
Saya tengok muka awak murung
Action marah ke, Hajar?
Bila lapar makan kerepek
Pergi zoo nampak kerbau
Pantun kau semua merepek
Aku malas nak layan kau
Tonton cerita hantu rasa seram
Kalau lemah semangat boleh tergoda
Kalau Econs dah nak 3 jam
Tak kan tak nak bergurau senda?
Pergi cari si Cikgu Bedah
Minta 20sen beli gula-gula
Bukan tak nak bergurau senda
Aku tak suka pantun ni semua
And with that, Hajar ended a fairly satisfactory (IMO) round of pantun exchange. Never before had we giggled so much during Econs and felt such a strong attachment to our culture and language.
Melayu boleh!...
(buat bodoh sua...)
