Sixty-One
"Takmo takot! Nanti mesti awak terperanjat punye, senang sangat!"
I don't know why, but that line makes me laugh.
But Ustazah is right.
The test is easy. Easier than I expected it to be.
And I am relieved.
Zahira writes on the whiteboard: "Chris Daughtry" and, below it, "It's Not Over". I immeadiately get excited.
"Ooh, have you heard that song?"
"Yes!!" squeals Zahira.
"Isn't it great?"
Huda joins the conversation, "And have you listened to 'What About Now?"
"Oh, yes!!"
More squealing ensues.
Then I admit, "But I've been listening to a lot of his songs lately. Everyday. I'm almost getting tired of it."
"No!!" Zahira screams. (Okay, she didn't scream. I'm exaggarting here) (Exxagarate? Exaggarate? Exeggerate? Kuih Pau? Darn, I don't know how to spell that word) (Anyhoo)
"You have to stop listening to his songs!" she admonishes me.
"I said 'almost getting tired of it'," I mutter. For some reason, I am ashamed of myself. How
dare I listen to his songs everyday? How could I? I feel so guilty.
"I once listened to the song 'The Reason' everytime I switched on the computer," Zahira continues, "and that was when I switched the computer on everyday. I got sooo sick of it."
Right then and there I vow never to listen to Daughtry songs for the rest of the month.
I will change for the better, I will.
I have to do what's right
I will listen to songs that are basi over and over again.
By the way, the name of Mas and my (my and Mas'? Mas and mine?) pet ant was
Sickle Anoint Prick Repatraition the Seventh.
And today we find a Sickle Anoint Prick Repatriation the
Eighth.
"Hey! A new Bobby!" Mas exclaims, and squishes him flat.
"Air liuh itu tanda orang yang tidak berikan perhatian," says Ustazah.
"Lol, lol," says I.
