Good Morning Choli . . .

"Whoaa... What kind of vessel is this...? So HUGE!!!... Oh look! We are at Vivocity already...!"

"Sayang, is that a Filipino ship?"

Well, Sayang just kept quiet, anyway... Saw one of the crew members emerged from one of the decks - combing his? her? hair... A view from the back, looks macho, but got long hair leh... Lahhh... Abang lembut (Soft Brother, hee hee hee...) combing his hair... He stretched out to pick a Q-Tip...

Ok, I'd better grap a memo pad & pen. I need to list out the things to pack/bring to Loola. While I stretched my hand to grab me memo pad & pen, suddenly...

tet... tet tet... tet... (Ringtone "Tied Up Too Tight - HARD-Fi")

My pfftppppffftt phone rang... argh... kaco lah...! Orang tengah mimpi nih... (Alamak, very the disturbing, one... I'm dreaming lah...)


"HELLLLLLLLO!!! SELAMAT PAGGGGGIIII!!! GOOOOOD MORRRRRNINGGGG PEK'MBEM!!! GOOOD MORNINGGG CHOLI ANGEL...!!!"


It was the rest of my pek'mbems, my Choli Angels geng-geng tahi lalat. Ayus, Yan & Andy Suryo Wibowo Lesmono Tan Xiang Chuen Choon Choon - greetings from Bali. Aikk...?! Baru pukol 8:55am... (WIB 7:55am)

(oii apa lah korang? kasi lah chan gua bobok kejap...gua punya morning 'nap' interrupted pula... aisehmenn...)

They put me on the speaker,

Ayus - "AH LINGGGG.....!!! Tido eh? Cepat, kau pegi naik Garuda sekarang jugak. Kitorang tunggu kat sini"

Me (my voice cracking) - "ak'ah ok, dok... aku ngah tido ni... Eh, korang pagi dah bangun? Buat apa hah? Tunggu ah, kejap lagi aku sampai"

Andy (from the background) - "Mau pergi tanning, kakkk..."

Yan (also, at the back) - "Hello gal..."

Me (voice still cracking) - "Hello, hello... Korang nak gi tan katne? Kat Dreamland eh? Korang dah serapan belom?"

Ayus - "belom dok. kita minom kopi je. kitorang nak breakfast ngan kau ni"

Me - "ok-ok, serapan pon dah siap. datang ah sekarang. nanti lepas makan aku boleh ikot korang pulak..."

Ayus - "alah ah ling, kesian ah aku dengar kau cakap gini..."
(in my small heart saying - kesian... eh? memang kesian tauuuuu...!)

Ayus - "Ling, kau nak pisgor sama rojak eh? nanti aku belikan, tapi nanti kalau dah sampai dah tak garing, camne?"

Yan (at the background) - "dia bilang tak kisah lah yus... boleh. boleh. belikan."

Andy - "kak, nanti belikan bumbu nya aja... gak usah buah-buahan nya... rojak ibuk kan kak?"

Me - "ak'ah lah, tak kisah lah, bumbu pon bumbu... pisgor harossss..."

Ayus - "Ling, nanti aku antar pakai Visnu Kencana eh..."

Me - "boleh yus... itu lagi cepat dari Garuda!"

-LAUGHTER-

Ayus - "ok ah ling, ko take care tau - nanti kitorang call lagi - bye gal..."

Andy & Yan - "Bye..."

Me - "ok, bye... take care k..."

Eyes wide open now. Definitely cannot go back to sleep what... So sweet of them to call...

Yan, tamak kau. Sekali dua kali kau pegi Bali tahun ni... (The last time she went with us in March, exactly 4 months ago)

Ya lah, usually, all of us go to Bali together-gether. That's why lah... Mungkin they feel janggal si ah ling ni takde...

I really appreciate it guys. Korang ingat kat aku ni... kesian... teringin nak makan pisgor, rojak, sate jawa parkir, plengkung, baruna, sup buntut, jus alpukat, soda gembira, empik2 tempe, tapai goreng, murtabak holland terang bulan, desserts kat casa luna [ubud]...

Nanti... nanti... aku sure balas dendam punya...
