Do You Know Your Kids ? - Part Jeloh

Pok Mie went to JKT the other day. Knowing my juvenile inclination of Indopop Band, he bought me an Album. A Compilation CD. Ori lagi tauu. Ada Letto, Nidji, Ungu, Bunga hapakernama, Melly and Gita Gutawa. TYVM, and automatically, I dunno why, I owe him a Mexican Lunch. A burrito or mebbe a chimichanga..


Dan pada malam harinya, on weekday, biasala, bila orang tak ramai, aku angkut Ajim, Arip, dan Pipa ke Tesco for Grocery Shopping. Armed with tangan kiri yang dah gatal nak fwd and surfing, aku masukkan cd baru tuu dalam player. Sampai ajer track no 5, aku rasa aku familiar dengan lagu nii. Haperkernama band ni,. Matta ?


Hmmm,.Kat mana aku dengar niii ? Aku biarkan ajer lagu tuu terus terpasang..


Sampai ajer part chorus tuu tiba2 Arip dengan Pipa menjerit dalam kereta. Joining in the the Band..

Wooo-Oh,. aku Ketahu-aaannn.
Pa-ca-rann lagiii, dengan dirinya.
(with much added emphasis on the Pa-ca-rannn part)



Gulp !. Tergamam-terkedu kejap aku masa tuu..


"Woi-woi-woiii,.. mana korang belajar lagu nii ?" aku intercepted, tanya diaorang dengan rasa macam tidak ada selera makan.


"Alaa abah, lagu nii ada dalam kereta Najib..Dia selalu pasang. Selalu pun ada dalam radio."



Listen, lemme tell you this. There are still things that I don't really know about my kids.

And the answer is not with them. It's with me. They're just like sponge. They'll absorb everything around them. It's for me to find out what is their surrounding. Hmmm..


Anyway,. now, everytime I'm in my car with Ajim, he always asks me,.


"Abah, abah,.. pasang lagu no 5.."

pa-ca-ran lagiiiii dengan dirinyaaa.. Ihiks
