At the coffeeshopMy friends and I went to Haig Road for lunch one day. We chatted merrily and complained about the weather. Fairuz then declares that she is hungry.
Fai: Dalah, im
starvinggg! Do you guys remember which satay i like? Mutton or beef?
Me and Hanisah: Mutton.
Not long afterwards, Fai comes back to the table with a greedy twinkle in her eyes.
Fai: I ordered 15 sticks. (insert cutesy grin) I dah tak kisah okay im soo lapar!
The three of us then continue our bitching/teasing/giggling until our food arrives. We then proceed to share a nice time over lunch.
Hanisah: Fai, taste the mee (very red Indian mee goreng) its very nice!
Fai: You da tebiat?? You nak I mati?? No way!
Hanisah: Just tryyy.. It's not pedas at all.. Really.
Fai: Ohhh no I'm not trusting you after that Roti John!!
Me: She's right Fai, it's not pedas..
After another 2 hours or so of persuasion, she comes round and decides to try the mee.
Fai: (chews cautiously) Ehh. It's not bad tau.. Lagi?
And so Fai steals the mee, proudly overcoming her fear of red food. Mark your calendars, Fai converted on the 7th of April!! Anyway, back to the story. Fai gets sick of mee and returns to her beloved satay. On her tenth stick or so, she wrinkles her eyebrows and makes an announcement.
Fai: You know what. I don't think this is the one I like tau.. I think I like kambing, not mutton.
Me and Hanisah burst out laughing at her silliness, clutching our tummies and growing abs.
Fai: Huh? What's the joke?
Which causes more squeals of amusement.
Me: Repeat what you said!
Fai: (confused look) I just said that I don't like mutton. I prefer kambing. That's all.
Hanisah and I milked every second of her dumbness for our entertainment. She probably would have never found out that mutton=kambing and kambing=mutton if she hadn't been told.
fai u made my day(:
