So, we are now on the 7th day of Raya.. happy haloween wishes pulak now in order. All in all, Raya was pretty good. The mood, the company, the food…it was essentially a good one although I missed my dear sister esp during the road trip. Sis, after the 2 boys left back for KL, I really missed them, esp Ed he was always hanging out with us becos of Qim and also becos he would otherwise be laughing almost constantly.
There were of cos a few elements that added to all that Raya drama..the ole man being a tad miffed, (oh, by this time of writing, make that 2 ole men..the second one being more than a tad miffed nampak gayanya) the fact that I finally broke the silence of a family member’s intention and seriousness in “nak bukak cawangan” , my 5 year old’s sharp quips, and of cos my frog tale.
The ole man’s story will have to be shared with my OZ sis, another day sis..ok. My son’s tales almost always has you gaping not quite knowing what to say – He learned the meaning of the word ‘stranger’ and was told by dear Opah, a stranger means someone you don’t know. So at the Raya makan that my father organized for his sedara-mara, my dear son suddenly hands me a duit Raya packet saying “mom, a stranger gave me this”..a stranger of cos being a family member standing right next to me.. ! Yup, I was quite embarrassed!
Meanwhile, the frog tale went like this..we were at my aunt’s at the kampong when I had the urge to go shi shi. I had no idea my hubby had already gone – (that dear man I married dint have the sense to warn me lah of cos..) So off I went to their kitchen area, and was told to just go squat on the bathroom floor…huh..? because the toilet is clogged and cant be used. So ok lah…I went in, unzipped my pants, found a spot, and began to relief myself. When all of a sudden, I noticed this brownish, greenish looking creature right behind the toilet…for a split second I thought it was a frog, but then I quickly dismissed it. No, cannot be..yes, I was at the kampong but a nice looking toilet like that..? But a second look did it, it was indeed a frog…sitting nice and pretty less than 4 feet away from me…..!!!! (nad- you wud have screamed and literally wet your pants…trust me..)
I was horrified – to say the least. What was I to do..nie tgh pissing away ni and although the books tell you Kegel exercise does wonders for your vaginal muscles, that thought just never crossed my mind at the time. Besides, I REALLY needed to go, you know what I mean.. So I closed my eyes – yea right – like out of sight, out of mind..ha ha…, and then when I was done I reached for the gayung / cebok and had to open the tap. Which just HAD to be located like a foot and a half above me lah kan…so I had to tippie toe a little…open the tap, place the cebok right underneath and well, you know lah. But seeing the horrific state I was in and being completely taken over by my fear that little froggie behind there may hop over to say hello any minute then – I actually tried to make the least commotion possible. For some reason, I thought if I did not make any noise, I could fool the frog into thinking nobody’s there…(ok, go ahead, laugh, laugh at my expense…). Hey, the tap water flowing into the cebok I thought would have made quite a bit of noise ok., I just figured..oh, never mind… Anyway, suffice to say, it was one of the fastest toilet break ever for me…I cudnt wait to get outta there so I just pulled my pants and zipped outside.
Din’t tell a soul after I got out but when we were at their dining table enjoying the kuih raya.. then my husband tells us, “eh, you all ada masuk toilet Maklong tak..ada katak..” Thank you lah darling…NOW you tell me…! And of course they all had a good guffaw lah.. me trying to fool the frog….
So, how was your Raya…?
