"laaa, bila balik ni....?"
"awat nampak seghoh (semakin kurus) sangat? tinggai haluih (halus = kecil) hang duk sana?"
"brapa taun lg? ni kak Ra (bukan nama sebenar) kat Mesir lg 6 taun"
"nanti ajak tok p rumah" (referring to my mum)
1. I come to realize that whenever people ask 'when did you come back?' my standard answer would always be, 'few weeks ago'...
2. A few people has noted that I've grown thinner in some ways. That includes my dad n brother. Apparently, not eating properly throughout this year has taken it's toll on me.
3. Judging from my physical appearance, people always think I'm younger than my age. I suppose, it's not so bad if you're in your 40s... in fact, it's something I wish would happen when I grow old. However, to be mistakenly thought as a high school student when you are at your best age of adulthood is so not cool. I wonder if this would be a problem in getting a job in the future. Would people trust me to be a site architect? Even my previous boss once said," if you were to be placed at a site, you'll definitely fall sick". Do I look that fragile?
4. I know how great it is to be a doctor... but I'm not becoming a doctor, despite my 5 year long studying abroad. Fullstops.
5. Still, it's funny when a neighbor addressed her 5 year younger granddaughter as 'kak' to me, until I reminded her that I'm the same age as her eldest grandson.
6. This is the worst... a distant relative deliberately mistaking me for being my niece, my abg ngah's daughter. She's 12.
7. If I were really 16, I'm almost as good as Sheldon...doing a master degree at this age. haha.
