Pyromaniac
Kalau aku cabot awal opis, ikot masa-kontrak 5:30 petang, ada satu cara wholesome exercise yang aku amalkan. Kalau main badminton, aku sorang ajer yang dapat pa'edah-nya. Udah berumor & dork-ghrok nii, strenous execise should be avoided. Kang padam ajer macam Pak Menteri tempoh hari..
Kegiatan Olahraga (bibikspeak) ini tidak hanya melibatkan aku seorang ajer. Ajim dan Arip pun boleh joint sekali. Slalu...
The exercise comprises of Sapu sampah-daun kat rumah, and topping it off, Bakarr. Best..
Bila nampak aku bakar daun ajerr, anak aku yang sulong, Afiqa, mulalah membebel. (Hmmm. Sejak bila pulak Afiqa pandai membebel nii ? The answer is Sejak dia mula jadi anak dara laaa. Sejak mula dia jadi pompuan laaa.. Ha ha haa. Say what you want to say, but I do feel good saying that... Thee he he).
"Abah you cannot do that. You're contributing to Global Warming. You're creating acid rain.."
Whateverlaa.

Petang semalam, bila Afiqa and Maam pergi shopping, which cleaarly, need no further explanation here, akupun mulakan Kegiatan Olahraga. Datok pun join sekali, slaluuu...
Clearly Datok was so Happy, he started to explain lenghtily, that he did exactly the same when he was in Pulau Tokong circa 1944, when the Japanese were about to surrender.
Bakar Sampah.
How he got a good whack from one auntie.
How his datok live his life until he was 58.
How the Japs gather all of the chinese, which he didn't understood well at that time.
And boy, He even sang one old Japanese sang..
Miyoto okaino sorasete...
Kyo kuji ko kaakkatuu
kagaya keba..
Something like that laaaa... Anybody heard this song before.
That long ago.
While he was happily explaning those memories, there're two thing things strucked my mind :
1. Bakar sampah-daun is a luxury. One cannot afford this activity in Taman Tas, Kontan. KL ?, lagi la. A clear cut no no. No way. But here in KD, we can do it without any remorse whatsoever. Bakar laa sepuas hati. Setenang Jiwa. Ha ha ha.
2. Now I know exactly where is this in-buit Pyromaniacal Behavior coming from. I believe Chik also does...
One happy Pyromaniac
