Tudung eh

Having been entrusted  to find a decent tudung for my girl in Brissy,I embarked on the mission  one afternoon in Alor Setar.

The tudung is intended to be worn with a purple hued dress with a silver diamante on the bodice .

Jom pi A.S Mall,dah lama kita tak pi sana and we could do shopping at Nadia’s booth. My pakli ni memang sentiasa bersedia diajak kemana.So that afternoon saw the both of us at the mall.

Cari punya cari terjumpalah dengan booth ini yang menjual shawl  dengan harga yang berpatutan.A young girl was in attendance of the booth.

Dik kalau ada mannequin kan bagus. Makcik mencadangkan.Boleh makcik lilit dekat muka dia orang dan lihat how it looks on a person.

Tak apa makcik, saya boleh tolong pakai.So the salesgirl was seen putting on a number of shawls on her and smiling at me.

Hai baik benar budak ni.Lepas satu satu tudung digayakan.

And my gaze fell on a book she was reading prior to our arrival.

Hai adik ni nak kahwin ke?

Eh tidak lah makcik.Saja baca.

Hai this girl is boleh dibuat menantu.Bertuahlah siapa yang kahwin dengannya. I said.

Pakli pun ketawa mendengar nya.

By the way the tudung rendezvous was not to end there.At the next booth,I enquired about the anak tudung.The guy in attendance could not tell me how the anak tudung I had set my eyes on how it should  be worn.

Makcik,saya tolong saja.Saya tak tahulah.

Well young man,if  you were helping your spouse,you should make an effort to be in the know how.Kan dah susah dapat customer macam makcik.Ada saja soalan .

As our mission was not all accomplished that day,today,I drove to the shops in my neighbourhood.At the Indonesian lady’s shop she managed to persuade me to depart with my RM for a tudung ariani.Her infectious smile always make me visit her shop now and then.Makcik mana pernah beli tudung jenis itu.Maybe it was her smile that changed my perception of that kind of tudung.

Well,the mission was still incomplete.The anak tudung that my daughter wanted was unavailable.So to the next shop I went.Ha ha,this shop owner got a way of eating through my heart.Instead of just buying anak tudungs,I ended buying a tudung for me and a bed spread for tokton.

Cepat cepat makcik undur diri when she tried to sell me the lampshade,the lazy chair,the jubah dllnya.In fact,everything in her shop!

But the stop at the gerai ikan,macam rasa habis good mood makcik.

Ada ke apa yang makcik cakap dekat kawan makcik ,tauke kedai tu boleh buat loud speaker.Hebahan seantaro dunia.

Ni yang terlebih ramah pula sampai dah macam bus  y  bod  y.

Adoi,pakcik gerai bazar ikan.Remembered that book on Fish Story. Memang kot orang jual ikan ramah ramah semua. Dan kadang kadang terlebih lah pulak!
