Comme si de rien n’était

2.07am.

Tadi aku lapar.

Aku pergi ke dapur aku jumpa Indomie Mee Goreng. Aku hancurkan dan masukkan dalam mangkuk, tambah air panas; aku masukkan perencah dengan kicap (ketjap) yang turut serta dalam bungkusan tu, add bawang goreng. Aku makan macam maggi sup. Aku tak kira macam mana rasa dia sebab aku dah lapar.

Yummy Baby ada kat sebelah ni tengah berdengkur. Aku pulak tak boleh tidur sebab perut memulas.

Hmm….ni pergi melabur pukul 2 pagi memang best ni. Hening pagi dicemari bau-bauan kurang enak. Dah lah bau petai malam tadi tak hilang lagi. Setiap kali aku berak, aku nampak macam tiles kat dinding jamban nak slide ke bawah.

Aku happy skets malam ni sebab aku sound ada orang melalui sistem pesanan ringkas tajaan CELCOM. Ni benda yang aku tulis:

“Kalau mak kata ayah pentingkan diri apa beza dgn mak kalau kerja dah sibuk masih mengejar 2 jawatan politik! Kalau mak kata budak keliru kalau ayah bawak diorang tidur sana apa beza dgn mak duduk kerusi depan berpegang tangan dengan driver tercinta, cium pipi, gambar mak dalam rumah dlm phone Mail? Mak kata budak2 tak reti menipu. Memang betul. Jgn nak bodohkan ayah, ayah bukan Puteri mak. Mail tidur di rumah, kasi Nisaa duduk atas riba bawak kereta? Itu bertanggung jawab? Itu nak membunuh anak namanya. Farhan menangis tak nak keluar kereta apa ayah nak buat? campak dia? Ayah tak boleh. Mak ke hulu ke hilir bawak diorang dengan Mail takpe? Mak ke Sabah dgn Mail takpe? jangan ugut kata nak bawak budak2 lari. Itu aje modal mak. Jangan sampai ayah bantu musuh2 mak dgn apa yang ayah ada pasal mak. Ayah tak benarkan Mail masuk rumah walau setapak. Kalau tak, siap. Jangan ingat ayah org politik mak. Ayah cium politik lagi awal sebelum mak menjual puki kat Basher. Farhan muntah 3 kali semalam mak kat mana? Ayah jugak menyuap ubat. Siang malam mak tak ada. Tidak2 pun siang ayah ada menjaga budak.”

SMS tersebut aku hantar kat seorang cibai yang pernah berkahwin dengan aku. Dari mula kahwin dah menipu aku kata tak pernah ada anak. Aku tengok jubur dah sebesar tong dan stretchmarks mengalahkan ikan paus. Masih tak mengaku anak ada 4 sebelum kahwin dengan aku. Masa dalam perkahwinan pun curang dengan aku berapa kali. Nasib baik la aku ni jenis penyabar jugak semenjak dua-menjak aku berhenti askar ni. Kalau tidak memang tak bergigi la aku lempang. Bawak driver tidur hotel, bawak driver tidur di rumah aku masa aku ke pulau. Cakap kat aku driver dia yang bernama Mail tu kononnya tension bini tak suka dia balik lambat dari kerja. Walhal anak perempuan Mail tu sendiri pecah lubang kata mak bapak dia bercerai. Dia cerita kat anak-anak aku bini si Mail dah mampus. Sama la macam dia tipu anak dia kata bapak diorang mampus dah walhal sihat wal’afiat hidup kat Pasir Puteh.

Basher tu nama boyfriend Arab dia yang dahulunya bekerja di salah sebuah syarikat minyak di Malaysia, selepas dia lari dari laki dia yang pertama. Dia kata dia jadi P.A Basher ni. Betul la P.A. Puki Ayam. Dia buat perangai jadi ayam kepala hitam, jual puki kat Basher. Lantas Basher ni pun memenuhkan rumahnya dengan segala macam barang.

Lepas tu dia kahwin dengan mamat Pasir Puteh ni. Mamat ni selalu outstation, lantas si puki ayam ni pun merendek dengan jantan lain-lain. Bukan lain-lain jantan. Jantan lain-lain menunjukkan bahawasanya bukan seorang jantan sahaja yang melenjan dengan dia. Lepas tu laki dia dapat tahu, siap dia boleh taunt laki dia lagi – kena balun dengan kayu golf – nasib baik tak putus keting kaki.

Begitulah kisah hidup puki ayam yang pernah kahwin dengan aku. Nasib baik la anak aku dua orang tu comel tak macam dia. Dan mudah-mudahan perangai diorang tak ikut cibai tu.

Wah…baru datang semangat aku nak berak.

2.30am.

Slowdown

This is to inform all of you that my blog will face a bit of a slowdown because I do not have a notebook for now.

And Yummy Baby said I’ve been too busy screwing her.

She said that…I did not.

Well, Not Well

This is the fourth day that I am not well. My cough is not getting any better.  To add insult to injury, my notebook’s screen’s given up on me.  Well, something like that.

Yummy Baby had wanted me to taste her soto daging and to be able to do that, we had to buy some meat from…where else, but the Penjual Daging‘s place.  Although he never appeared throughout the visit (we were attended to by his partner), I knew if he was up there he could see us through the CCTV’s monitor.  That was probably how he saw us during the last visit; and I went “Damn! I hadn’t washed Yummy Baby’s car yet!”  Luckily he did not appear at all.

The Soto Night was good.  Rainmaker, Rina Madonna Ciccone and Shark’s Fin came.  They stayed until 2am or so.  Yummy Baby and I were both so tired that we went straight to bed after doing the dishes, and I was coughing my lungs out.  We woke up several times in the morning, and finally had to wake up when Spena sent a text to her saying she was on the way to have her soto lunch.

After lunch, the three of us decided it was bad for us to stay home on a Sunday. So I called my daughters up and asked them to get ready to go out.  However, only Fazira was ready when we arrived and Hana was still watching TV.  So we went to Tony Roma’s and had a good…errr, post-lunch lunch.  It was Fazira’s second meeting with Yummy Baby but she really looks up to the latter as a mother-figure.  I can’t blame my daughter. She needs a mother-figure for love and attention. She has matured beyond her age, taking over responsibilities at such a young age – the victim of circumstances.

Anyway, it was a good outing for all of us.  Upon reaching home, I developed a temperature and was groaning and shivering.  Yummy Baby was there to look after me.  I was both happy and sad that tears rolled down my cheeks: happy because I finally get to feel wifely love and attention; sad because I am not able to take care of her, as I should, givng her the husbandly love and attention.  I thank God that after all the crap that I had to go through, I have finally met the person whom I would love to die as her husband.

Jembalang Nak Pergi Dating Lepas Dating Dengan Iblis Semalam

Malam tadi di sekitar sebuah kawasan yang dahulunya dikenali sebagai Jalan Hicks, aku berdating dengan Iblis yang ingin aku mencuba beberapa jenama air kencingnya yang agak famous di sekitar nusantara dan kawasan-kawasan yang sewaktu dengannya, sehingga aku terlupa hendak menanyakan soalan yang diajukan oleh Gemgem Odorono Corleone tidak lama dahulu mengenai jenama-jenama tersebut. Namun begitu, aku dapat merasa bagaimana pantasnya bumi berputar mengelilingi matahari sehinggakan aku membawa kereta dengan begitu perlahan agar tidak terbang ke angkasa melampaui tarikan graviti.

Kini, aku diajak pula pergi berdating oleh Yummy Baby. Katanya, dia nak membawa aku keluar bak first date. Aku sendiri pun tak ingat macam mana first date aku, tapi aku rasa ianya berlaku di pasaraya Jaya sekitar 26 tahun yang lampau. Tapi kalau first date dengan Yummy Baby, settingnya lebih kurang cerita Jiwa Remaja atau Hapuslah Air Matamu lakonan Hail Amir dan Uji Rashid, dan Broery Sudahmatika dan Sharifah Aini respectively. Tepi pool dengan fresh orange tapi pukul 11 malam.

Terkejut beruk gak aku tiba-tiba diajak dating. Tapi aku rasa last kami dating adalah 5 hari yang lalu masa tu pergi makan ikan mentah. Senang betul kerja tukang masak. Bukan tukang masak pun, tukang siang ikan. Mana ada masak-masak!

Yummy Baby: can i ask you out on a date tonight?
Yummy Baby: no answer?
SeaDemon: can…hope i don’t sneeze or anything like that
Yummy Baby: oh yeah you better not
Yummy Baby: not on your first date

Aku tengah demam selesema..jadi mood aku lagi teruk dari Golda Meir kena PMS. Aku sendiri tak faham kenapa dia menggelar date malam ini sebagai first date. Mungkin sebab aku dah sekian lama menjadi virgin. Semenjak dua menjak Yummy Baby memulakan kerja di tempat baru, dia membuat kerja menggunakan Blackberrynya sehingga sebelum memejamkan mata di waktu malam. Sungguh aku benci akan teknologi yang tidak berguna itu. Telefon bimbit 3G Nokia N95 aku pun aku tak activate 3G. Malas. Melecehkan. Macam tengahari semalam semasa aku sibuk memandang kelopak mata aku dari dalam, anak aku, Iqa, masuk ke bilik katanya maknya nak bercakap dengan aku menggunakan telefon 3Gnya (telefon si Iqa la!). Aku pun jawablah panggilan tu…kimek cipan tanah betul…bersepah orang di sekelilingnya memandang aku yang tidak berbaju dan muka bangun tidur. Lantas aku baling sahaja telefon bimbit Iqa, ending the phone call. Teknologi burit yang menyusahkan orang dan menghilangkan personal space, time and privacy insani masa kini. Aku pun tak faham kenapa majikan-majikan sekarang gemar menyusahkan pekerja dengan Blackberry. Gaji dibayar hanya untuk 9-5, tapi sampai tengah malam buta dan hujung minggu pun masih nak berkomunikasi. Memang benar apa mereka kata mengenai telefon bimbit berteknologi tinggi: Mendekatkan yang jauh dan menjauhkan yang dekat. Kepala butoh mak diorang.

Perempuan Yang Pernah Berkahwin Dengan Aku pun dulu telephone addict. Masa kat meja makan masa itulah kawan-kawan dia nak bersembang. Saban hari itu sajalah yang kena aku tanggung. Bukannya nak makan atau bersembang dengan aku hal-hal suami-isteri atau anak-anak, sibuk kisah politik dan gossip-gossip terkini. Beberapa kali juga aku menegurnya dengan cara baik supaya tumpukan masa untuk keluarga terutamanya semasa makan. Tak makan saman. Satu hari aku berikannya final warning dalam nada suara yang baik. Aku kata aku tidak akan menegurnya lagi. Akhirnya, aku celupkan telefon bimbitnya itu ke dalam jag air sirap.

Dan Yummy Baby kini aku nampak dah ada ciri-ciri nak kena sindrom CRACKBERRY sebab dah mula asyik-asyik menggentel bijik benda alah tu apabila terdengar imaginary buzzing. Bak kata Kimi, “Biar butt sahaja yang ada crack, jangan kepala pun ada crack!

Teknologi burit yang aku benci

Yummy Baby: so what kind of food do you like to eat
SeaDemon: i don’t eat only 5 things (batu, kayu, besi, sabun dan kepala keretapi)
Yummy Baby: hmm..
Yummy Baby: i think i’ve heard that before
Yummy Baby: somewhere…
Yummy Baby: but anyway
Yummy Baby: is there a place that you’d like to go to
Yummy Baby: or do you want to ikut my tekak
SeaDemon: i do not hv a place that i want to go to…but if u really want to know, it will have to be a proper english fish and chips joint in england somewhere

Aku bukan demanding, tetapi memang itu yang aku masih teringin nak makan. Good old English cod and chips, with 5 cakes of fried cod roe, and soggy with malt vinegar. Aku harap Idlan akan membawa balik sebungkus dua untuk aku bila dia balik raya nanti. Itu sahaja yang aku kempunan nak makan takut mati terbeliak mata seraya meleleh air liur basi. Vinegar tak payah letak la. Aku goreng balik dan letak di sini sahaja.

Amende baju aku nak pakai malam ni pun aku tak tahu…

Forlornly Waiting For The One

Baby at my favourite jetty - 31st May 2008
Short of a day to seven weeks since this pic was taken

I really do not know what to write. If I do, will whatever I write be enough to describe how I feel for her? How can I ever tell her how much I love her when whenever I say it it always comes out short of how I actually feel for her? Why do I feel so bad inside everytime she’s away? Why do I feel sad everytime she looks away even for a short while? Why does my heart cry out and pine for her each time we part?

Why?

I will never know the answer, as I sit forlornly waiting for her…

As I Watch The Colours Of The Evening Sky

I wrote this on my Facebook note yesterday evening. I was feeling depressed over certain issues – family, work…everything plus the kitchen sink and the onions too.

I sometimes wonder about the choices we’ve made
and also of the choices we could not evade
Suddenly the picture slides of my life pass by
as I watch the colours of the evening sky

I always wonder to myself why, oh why
there are failures no matter how hard I try
Streaks of crimson, orange, blue and white
cannot appease my fears and fright

The evening sky welcomes the night
tomorrow I continue the struggle and fight
to make this life take off and fly
and to live in happiness ’til the day I die

A tear rolls down my cheek as I begin to cry
as I watch the colours of the evening sky

My Companion

Nisaa at the playground 23 June 08

Nisaa and I
Nisaa and I

My daughter Nisaa has always been my constant companion, and my best friend.  She used to hang around me a lot until she got her PSP.  She still hangs out with me during the day, but will have the PSP in her hands.  I would turn slowly to look at her whenever the PSP emits strange sounds…burps, farts…it is this funny game that she loves playing.  At the age of 3, she sure has good hand and finger coordination as compared to I.

Soon I will be moving.  She won’t be following me as her mother has protested against my intention of taking her with me.  It would be sad to think that she would be alone at home with no one to play with as all her other siblings would be at school during the day.  Usually, I would be there for her.  She would clamber onto my back and massage my head, or my shoulders, and peck me on either cheek or both.  She would blow me a kiss whenever she is about to leave the room.

It was just two days ago, while I was doing some work online, and she was on her PSP, I took off my t-shirt as I was feeling warm.  She looked at me and said, “Nisaa pun nak buka baju jugalah. Nisaa pun panas.”  She took off her t-shirt, took a pillow and lay beside me on the floor; her tiny hand held mine and she fell asleep.

I am going to miss her terribly.  If only her mother is more open-minded.

Hello world!

Welcome to WordPress.com. This is my first post.

Well, actually my previous blog was using WordPress’s engine, so the only real change here is the URL and appearance. I thought it would be nice to change the theme to something else in conjuntion with my starting a new life with <em>Yummy Baby</em>.  I have also transferred all the old postings from Narcaholic here.

Enjoy your time here and thanks for your support.

It Is The End

Tomorrow, 14th July 2008, will be the last day of this blog before it is taken offline. I have decided not to carry on with this blog anymore.

It has been a great weekend as far as Yummy Baby and I are concerned. My kids spent one whole day with her and her kids (24 hours), had BBQ together with our good friends, bloggers, divers and non-divers alike. It was good to see people like Walking Vibrator, Spena, DNAS and hubby (and kids), Gemgem Odorono Corleone, Siti Nur Estina Elysha, Neomesuff, Lina Hasbullah, Rina Madonna Ciccone, Fin, Liverpool Babe, Gombak4Life, Rainmaker, Feisal, Baby Setan, Accord Buruk, Chor, She, Zimm, Oja and her cousin. The whole thing ended at around 3am with Fin being the last one to leave. The fact that our kids clicked, and she is loved by them strenghtens this relationship even further.

Today also, my final attempt at bridging the differences between my parents and I have failed tremendously. Therefore I shall not pursue this matter anymore. It has been a year since we fell apart; various attempts have failed before, it has now failed for the last time even with my daughter making the plea. So, that’s it.

I can only look forward to begin sharing my life with Yummy Baby. In two weeks time we will be migrating, and I am not going to look back anymore. In this second half of this lifetime, I am going to concentrate on having a happy life, happier than it is now, with her, and my kids and hers.

To all whom have been supporting and reading this blog, I thank you for staying up to this point.

Take care, and may you live long and prosper.

WTF

Bukan World Taekwondo Federation.

Petang semalam aku dengan Yummy Baby terperangkap dalam traffic jam di hadapan sebuah stesen LRT di dalam kawasan bawah naungan MBPJ. Macam biasa, Yummy Baby tengah sendawa teruk disebabkan overdose Cafe au Lait sambil membuka tingkap agar bau-bauan tidak terperangkap dalam kereta. Aku memandang ke dalam rear view mirror dan agak terkejut bukan sahaja kerana kereta belakang aku berhenti dengan begitu rapat, malah, pemandunya, seorang wanita bertudung hitam dan berkaca hitam jam 7 petang sedang mengorek hidung. When I say she was picking her nose, I mean using a finger for each nostril simultaneously. I was like…HOLY F*CK!. Sekilas pandang akan wajah bertudung tersebut, aku nampak seolah-olah His Excellency President-For-Life General Dr Idi Amin Dada al-Haj yang memakai tudung hitam, memandu sebuah Mercedes Benz berwarna metallic grey, sambil mengorek kedua-dua belah lubang hidung serentak. I mean, if you have to do it, do it discreetly. Looking at someone picking his/her nose is bad enough, this is picking both nostrils in one go! Learn from the Jejaka Kepala Batas on how to do it discreetly:

Korek Hidung Skets
“Korek hidung skets sambil pura-pura tidoq!”

Or, if you are a celebrity, then you would get away with it. Look at how Crakco Whacko Jacko picks his nose:

Michael Jackson picking nose

And of course, she could yawn with a mouth bigger than that of a Hippopotamus.

I had to put up with her antiques for some 15 minutes before I managed to clear the junction. I know I could have avoided staring into my rear-view mirror…tapi minah ni punya lah besar, she literally filled up my rear-view mirror’s field of view that the slightest movement of her fingers, which were probably twice the size of my biggest of fingers, would attract attention. Even the guy in the car next to hers cringed. And the creme de la creme was that she rolled her booger in between her thumb and index finger.

BOOGER!!!

I was lucky the car in front of me moved; otherwise I might have caught another antique of hers which could probably be her eating that booger ball/em> like what the former Italian premier did previously.
