Bagaikan Itik Cakap Dgn Ayam

Translation: Like duck talking to chicken.

1. We were just married. and mummy called home, Zubair answered. Mummy asked him to come down and help to bring up the groceries. He said ok mummy ok.. Mummy was waiting for him downstairs. When he didnt come, mummy brought the trolley up herself and maybe w Ayah lah. Later, Mummy came into the house and Zubair came to her and asked, "Mummy, just now what did you say?"

Dang! *mental headslap*

2. We were at the airport McDonalds after sending mummy and ayah for Umrah.


Zubair was sitting on the outside so i asked for his help to take some more sweet chilli. He returned with Tomato Ketchup. ok understandable, maybe foreigners refer to chilli sauce as ketchup. so i told him just tell the crew "2 pkts of SWEET CHILLI". This time, he came back with GARLIC chilli. i sighed... i dont know what went wrong in my detailed instructions.

To give him benefit of the doubt, probably:
a. he forgot what's the name of the chilli
b. He didn't think there's any difference
c. The crew misunderstood or misheard him

3. This is just a few days ago. we went to cold storage. There were long queues at every counter. i stood in line in one i tot was shortest and least thing. but i tot the line next to me look sshort also so i told to Zubair ok queue there for me please. but he kept coming back to me to talk to me and i kept pushing him gently back in line. this went on twice then he said, "wait wait." He went to wait for me at the other side of the counter near the exit!!!!

After i've paid, i came to him and asked, "Did u hear when i say help me to queue on the other line?" and his reply, "Oh that is a queue?"


Sometimes he is sooo funny lah. he has a habit of automatically saying "yah" even before one finishes a question and therefore before he can comprehend and analyse what was being said.

This post is just to remind me of the irritating but funny moments we've had. im very sure we'll be laughing about this in years to come!
