I'm Going Home

This is an automatically generated post. By the time you read this line, I am already wandering around Kuala Lumpur International Airport pretending myself as a tourist from Sri Lanka. If you found a not-too-tall guy (don't call me 'shorty'), balding on top, sitting alone on a randomly chosen bench while reading an English novel written by a somewhat good international author, then I think it is the time you'd better approach that guy and say;

Ikan gelama dalam bakul,
Ikan keli dalam perahu,
Harap-harap saya betul,
Inikah Pok Deng yang hensem itu?

That is the password. If you fail to recite the whole lines then, I will take no effort to look at your face and smile back at you. If it is a successful pantun recitation with a subtle Melayu touch in it, then we will have a lengthy conversation at the nearest cafe. The prettier you are, the longer the conversation will take. Meant, I am dropping hints at ladies. Guys, you don't have to recite the pantun. All you need to do is, greet me like a man should be, and treat me for a cup of coffee.

See you there, folks!

  1. If we guys recite the pantun, can we expect a pantun-in-reply from you?

    Ok-lah, let's just drop the pantun have some coffee..

  4. Sally,
    Thanks, ma'am. Hold on, mana kapet merah?

    Oldstock,
    Of course I will.

    Dijulang keris tidak bersarung,
    Dipasak akhirnya di atas batu,
    Saya bukan ikan jerung,
    Betullah sayalah tu.

    Ha! Ha! Ha! What a pointless pantun!
