Beijing - Part Two , "Kun-Kun".

This was overdue days ago.

*****

Nama English orang Beijing Chinese nii kenkadang pelik. Nama yang tak pernah aku dengar. Macam Oasis, Efdlinger, Jarsoya, Road, Salulu, Laref, Skyer and Flora. The weirdest one so far is Pussy.

Touring agent aku kali ni nama dia Rose. The heard Beijing-er pronunciation is Ro-ser. Dialah yang bawak kami segroup merata-rate dari Great Wall (entry point Ba-da-ling, pronunciation pat-ta-ling street) sampai ker Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, and tiring shopping (kwan memang dork ghrok2 part nyopping nih).

At Forbidden City, she tried to explain her very possible best with her Beijing-er Engrish on the details of the City, Gardens, Artifacts, Architechture, pepatungs, pavement, fengshui and colours. Hapa-hapalah..

Not to forget about the Emperors, his many concubines and the Eunuchs. According to my customer, in ancient China, the khunsas are called "Kun-Kun"s. While listening attentively on the details of the eunuchs, one of our customers is excitedly wanting to know how the emperor made a normal man an Eunuch.

Haiyoo..! Teruja betul mamat Macau nii..

Where’s do they cut ?
Is sit just the balls ?
What about the shaft / or rod ? (I'm sorry, rods & shaft are normal words in our industry. Rotating rods, interphase shafts, interconnecting rods and shafts, etc.)

Was it the whole thing ?
How do they cut ?

By slitting with scissor ?

Or was it knife ? Mebbe a Machete ?
Swiss knife ? No ?

Haiyooooo.. Tak sensor lansong mala'un nii.

Ro-ser explained it carefully. Adding that, every year they have a period when they inspect the Eunuchs' shafts and rods, to see wether it grows again. (Entah betol ker tidak, aku pun tak tahu).

If it does, then they’ll re-cut.

Then come soalan cepumas from our colleague from Macau.
“Do they cut it when it is hard or soft.?“
Everybody was so quite, concentrating on the Macau-nese question.
Ro-ser just stood there, terkedu..

Then came help from one of our Hongkie colleague. With his thick Hongkie Engrish
“Harro Jen, you cannot ask her that question.. Ro-ser is still wirgen..”

Everybody was stunned. I think they had too much of free flow Tsingtao, during the lunch..
