this is actually a very funny haha sort of scenario....
do u ever noticed that over the years we tend to see our friends more than we do of our relatives unless..some of our relatives happen to also be our friends lah...
anyway this is about~ how often do we actually see our relatives socially...!?
more than often we only see them during festive seasons, weddings & funerals ( well of course this one not the happy- to- see- u- here sort of occasion of course but still one of those events when we actually bump into some of our relatives like it or not..)
& sometimes when we do meet these so called relatives...it's more often than not, only happen in a certain set of events or places where we tend to associate people or in this case our relatives in a particular set of scenarios...for instance we only see some set of relatives exclusively during raya / festive seasons, & some only at weddings & of course another set will probably be at funerals....& when we occasionally bump into them outside the setting, our mind play havoc...
this happened to hubby & i a few Saturdays ago (it was during the valentine's weekend) after coming back from our weekly visit to my parents in Shah Alam. on the way back to Semenyih, we decided to drop by at the Curves but ended up going to Ikea instead cos suddenly i felt the craving for some of those Ikea's curry puffs bad..but no not craving 'craving' just for not been having 'em for quite awhile cravings craving if u know what i mean...hehehe...
when we got there, Laith ceremoniously announced the urgency to visit the washroom... so while he went about to do his business, we loitered around at the lobby waiting...awhile later i saw my hubby waving @ someone, i looked at the direction he was facing and was looking @ someone rather familiar but can't place the face instantly and asked "who is that?"...."my niece!" was his answer..hmmm...by marriage~ she's my niece too lah...
laaaa....& it turned out to be one of the 6 daughters of my hubby's cousin... she walked towards us & salam both of us & ask for Laith....& said "what are u guys doing here? " to which we good-naturedly answered "oh nothing much, just feel like grabbing some of 'em curry puffs...hahaha... ".
with that confused & somewhat amazed look on her face she said " hehe... it's kinda weird to see u guys here...hahaha..." yeah i know what she meant, i felt the same way too, it's utterly butterly strange to bump into someone whose part & role has been the same year after year...relatives that u meet during raya, at weddings or funerals unfortunately...
but what i found funny was...she (& to be honest i too) had that malay drama director look on the face that says ...' wait a minute, this is all wrong~ CUT! u don't belong in this scene, it's all wrong... the time of year, the place, the costumes...are all wrong!
the scene u belong to should be;
when: the 3rd day of raya not- on a valentines' weekend,
venue: rumah Tok Mat in Semenyih not- Ikea / the Curves,
costume: baju melayu raya not- casuals,
Role: We, play part of the hosts- She, plays the happy to see all the usual Semenyih raya food served on the table.
it's like Walt Disney characters suddenly make an appearance in a totally bizarre Underworld:Rise of the Lycans movie sets...
a total mismatched that's for sure..! :P
hahah!! yea yea true!!
