Awu-ah Moment Of The Day

Greetings fellow human beings,

As promised, our AMD debut post. For those still unaware what AMD is, explanation can be found on the ‘READERS DISCRETION IS ADVISED’ entry. For the acquainted, lets begin.

The Ten Thousand AHH Moment

Doesn't it annoy you when you ask someone a question.. then they say…. ‘ah?' or 'apa?’

It gets more irritating if the question was a long one… so now you gotta repeat every single word you just said one more time and without even noticing you end up making all the vowels mad wajib mutasil seventeen freakin harakats. Here’s a scene:

Ramlee: Liau… jadi kah main bula patang ani ah?

Liau: ah? apa?

Ramlee: jaaadiii kaaah maaaain buuulaaaa paaataaang aaniii aaaah?

Liau: ntah

We’re aware that some people might have hearing difficulties… but too bad this post doesn’t address them. We’re only talking about the guys that heard you the first instance, but decided its more fun to let you repeat the question one….more……time.

Here’s how u know if they faked their deaf or not. When they say ‘ah??’ after you asked them… don’t repeat the question, instead wait for five to ten seconds. Then BAM! they finally answer it. So whats that all about?

This usually happens when you sit in one table with a bunch of mates. So if its more than two people, someone has do to the hearing. Playing that role… sometimes can be boring.. so you drift off in your own world for a bit before joining them back again not knowing that any question might hit you at any time. Here’s the scene two minutes ago:

Ramlee and Bobby were talking about football enthusiastically.. as most men do, while Liau did all the listening bit, thus.. decided to wonder around inside his head for few moments. Lets take a look at the actual activities inside Liau's brain.

Inside Liau’s Brain: eh balik-balik bula anie eh.. karang… membali lambchop.. pastu liat wayang… ah? liat wayang… wayang apa jua yang siok… banar jua ah… ujung bulan jua ni… pakai apa ku membayar ah, minta lanja cRamlee… hmmm… nda eh.. karit (when all of a sudden….. a voice) Liau… jadi kah main bula patang anie ah?

‘ah’ is also used as a delaying tool. Some questions posed may come suddenly and… its also probably on touchy subjects. You’re overwhelmed, but you gotta think quick fellas. What do u do?

You release that powerful tool. So while he’s repeating the question, you…. better think of an answer. Neat trick ey? Those sneaky little…. well you finish the sentence.

END

Don’t blow the Raya whistle yet guys...

aint nothing like the feeling of Ramadhan injury time.
