selamat tinggal ku ucapkan kepada Bahasa Melayu
tidak akan ku menulis sebarang karangan lagi
walau sekalipun
sepanjang umurku
(translation: good riddance to the malay language.
i wash my hands off you and
i'll never write another malay essay in my life HAH)
i finally took the lastest malay exam in my entire life (i hope) and i must admit i thought it was quite. a breeze. HAH ego boost! i finished the paper abt half an hour early. so i had alot of time to do people watching. and well, since the invigilators may suspect me of cheating if i stared at my peers, i stared at them instead. and a specific lady caught my attention..
she had a very strange haircut. it was cut straight all round thus making it appear very unnatural. and she had awfully long bangs. her glasses were the old fashoined sort, big lenses and gold frames. she had an uncanny resemblance to moaning myrtle frm harry potter. i suspected she still is a miss at her probable mid-thirties.
i spent a good half hour scrutinising her ridiculous outfit. she was clad in a blouse and a long skirt. sounds simple enough. but let me go into detail. her white short sleeved blouse was rather loose and looked like something out of the store for grannies. which is way past her age.
her skirt, on the other hand, was not exactly full length, neither was it 3/4. it was pulled high up and tightly wrapped around her waist by a visible length of elastic band. her socks, were pulled up way past her ankles but not high enough to be hidden beneath her maroon skirt. thus, revealing an inch of skin on each leg.
sadly, her shoes were in no state to compensate for the rest of her outift. i was suddenly reminded of the reality tv show extreme makeover.
after a while, she began to roam around the hall to watch us. since i was so free i kept my eyes on her. as she walked past me, i nearly gasped in horror at her skirt. upon closer inspection, i discovered the repulsive embroidery all over the lacy material.
just by looking at her i could imagine her voice in my head. it was a soft whimpering sort of voice. the kind of teacher the brutal school boys would dare to throw tables at.
i wondered if she has a boyfriend..
