Nineteen
FINALLY.
The 'creating posts' page finishes loading.
What took it so long anyway?
Alamak, now kene rush.

"Eh, die nye suare dah pecah!"
"Eh, a'ah lah!"
Now, don't get me wrong. That conversation between Mas and I was
not about some guys we were staring at in the MRT. It was more like we were
listening to some boys (about 12 years old, okay!) talking.
No lah, not because suare budak tu dah pecah (though, admittedly, it did sound funny, a 14 year old's voice coming from someone who looked 11. Or did I say 12?).
It was more because the 3 boys sitting infront of us were speaking Japanese.
Japanese!
I have a love for the language. I find it hard not to. Doesn't it just sound nice, rolling off people's tongues? Especially the double tts. Datte!
Anyway, I don't speak it very well, but Mas and I do know a little bit of Japanese. So when the boys said things like 'Nanda?' (meaning 'what is it?') or 'Yatta!' (meaning something like, 'Yessa!), Mas and I would go, 'Oh oh!' (meaning 'Oh oh I know what that means I'm so exicted oh my gosh I've heard of that word before and I
know what it means!!!').
Thinking back... we must have looked pretty obvious. I wonder what those kids thought.
"What if the kids think you guys are flirting with them, hmm?" Dinah hissed.
"Jangan nak merepek lah!"
I wouldn't be surprised though, the way we were holding back our excitement everytime they spoke something.
So interesting!
(Or, in Japanese, 'Omoshiroii!')
