Forty-Three
Wow. Dah lame tak post. What can I say? Busy, busy!
But I admit, I would be lying if I were to say that I spent all my time studying and doing school work. In fact, I consider myself lucky because I got to spend a day with my family.
Oh, today was funny!
Today's a Sunday, which means our family went to the mosque. Today's mosque was Darul Aman. Loi and Nina offered to show me their 'secret hideout' in the masjid (they call it the Creepy Tunnel, even though there's no tunnel at all). They claim the place is 'totally silent and totally empty'. So, ok, I followed them. Why not?
The 'Creepy Tunnel' was really just the 3rd and highest level of the mosque, but it was empty, which was nice, in a way. We had a space, all to our own. I studied for my tests in the beginning; tauhid, tafsir, sejarah islam. But then we decided to play a game.
It's really an esay game. You just flick a coin, the other two call out 'Heads' or 'Tails', and the one who got it right will get the right to flick the coin. Like, I flick the coin. While it spins in mid-air, Loi might call out "Heads" and Nina goes for "Tails". If Nina is right, then she gets to flick the coin. Then Loi and I have to guess.
It's really not that all exciting, but for some reason, it kept us fully entertained for at least an hour.
We also decided to call for either 'Heads' or 'Butts'. Cos we don't have tails.
Anyway, there was this one time when it was Nina's turn to flick the coin.
Nina: *flicks the coin into the air and slaps it onto her palm*
Me: Heads!
Nina: *shakes her head slightly*
Me: Um.... Butts?
Nina: Yes! Betol! *gives me the coin*
In another instance:
Nina: *flicks again*
Me: Heads!
Nina: *shakes her head, then shakes her butt*
Me:.... Butts?
Nina: YES!
It went like that for a really long time. Loi couldn't figure out why we were laughing so hard.
I can't figure out how she couldn't see we were actually cheating.
