Nama Part 2

Otai macam aku nii rasanya senang jer nak boh nama anak aku. Apatah lagi bila dah masuk 'nam. Dah 'nam kali dah aku boh nama.

Have you heard this one before ?

'nam kali the pleasure, dan 'nam kali the fun,, ehem, Haiyooo, of giving names laa.

Mindset pun telah lama, permanantly etched, kat hotak aku. Selalunya boh laa nama yang seketul ajer tuu. Cam Madonna, Sting, Ronaldo Bilal, sahabat Nabi.

Last-last we settled for Adila for the baby. Adilkaan.

Pakchu semalam tepon aku. Padan muka, start posa, erk ! welkam to the club. Aku dok menanyakan..

"Apa hang boh nama anak hang ?"

"Hmmm, Tak decide lagi laa. Mebbe Bahiah Wafiah Zee or mebbe Brianna Zee. Besok baru nak gi register..."

"Aaaa aper ? Priyanka Zee ??? Brian na Zee ?? Mintak Tolong eja sket.."

Aku pun bukan kuat sangat pendengaran aku (Mebbe too much "Pour Some Sugar On Me" during the younger days laa kot).

From the names itself, one can detect the subtle generation gap. And that is before, one starts to compare what was one doing during his/her firstborn. Tidorkan baby nak gii Main Futsal. The lists goes on and on.

Hmmm Otainya akuuu..
