Thirty-Five
Today's word of the day is tete-a-tete (prononced tate-uh-tate), meaning private, confidential or familiar.
.....
Whoa.
Who would have thought?
I ate only two spoons of nasi goreng for sahur yesterday, but didn't get hungry at all throughout the day.
I ate my usual, proper breakfast for today's sahur, and my stomach ended up growling
6 times while I was in the library!
Weird! Not to mention pathetic.
Speaking of the library and of being pathetic, I rememer this one incident I had last month or so, methinks. I had just gathered quite a number of books in my arms and was heading over to where the seats were so that I could take the load off my arms. So, there I was, walking and reaching my destination, when I accidentally dropped one of my books on the floor.
Woops.
It wasn't very loud though. I mean, it was just one book, and it's not like the noise echoed through the library or anything. But then this man, sitting on one of the seats (big DUH) and reading his newspaper, looked at me and gave this look:
O^O
He
pouted and
jelinged, and worst of all, he actually said loudly, "Tsk tsk tsk"! You know, that sound you make that usually accompanies a wagging finger and a look that says "Ish, ish, ish, horrible!"? Aiyaaa!!! It was so frustrating, him looking so inferior that way. I wish I can say that I glared back at him and he shrunk back in fear, because that's what I wished happened, but I'm too nice a girl - okay, too coward a girl and instead whispered meekly, "Sorry".
I am so ashamed of myself sometimes. I wanted to knock that guy with the book I dropped.
Ehem. Anyway.
I almost broke my fast today (I almost typed "Open my fast". You know, "Buka puasa"). My stomach
did grumble six times, after all, even though I wasn't feeling too hungry.
And then my conscience had to butt in.
Me: Maybe I should buke puase...
ConscienceMe: And why?!?
Me: Well, my stomach grumbled six times...
CMe: And...?
Me: And... My stomach hurts!
CMe: Don't be a dramamama lah, you!
Me: I'm not a-
CMe: You're FASTING!!! You're
supposed to be
hungry!!!
Me: .... Oh yeah.
So here I am.
Still fasting.
