I met Maya for dinner today. Was a pretty impromptu meeting. She had some errands to run, I had some stuff to buy, so we decided to meet up in the city to get our stuff done together. Had a great time, talking about the most random stuff. We were talking about weird names and she was telling me that her aunt, who works as a receptionist in a clinic or something, has to call out names of patients. And some of these names are just....sad. Ok. One of the patient is called... Jai Bin Konek. Konek means penis in Malay. I KNOW!! How hilarious is that? I pity Jai's father. It's so...embarrassing, to say the least. Another name...Low Lian Jiao. Are you guys dying yet? I pity Lan Jiao. I mean, she must have really evil parents. What sort of parents name their children that??? I will die, if it's me. No, actually, I'll just change my name. And I was telling her, one of my distant aunties is called..Cik Pek Pek. Pek pek is vagina in Malay. I KNOW!! How crude is that? I can never call her that. I just call her cik. But we were dying of laughter cos it's so funny how some names are.

Then, we were on the train back, and we were both seated. And there was this lady in front of us. We couldn't decide if she was pregnant or not so I asked Maya if we should give up our seats for her. But she went like..'No! What if she's not pregnant?' I'm like, 'Oookaayyy...' Then she told me her 'I want do die of embarrassment' story. Which is hilarious. To me. And everyone who knows me knows that when I start laughing, I'm unstoppable. So here goes: Maya was on her way to work in the train, and she was wearing a short empire line red polka dot dress. She wore a belt and cinched it around her waist. She felt chic and retro, with her pearl earrings and all. And she rushed for the train, managed to grab the train, and stood, gasping for breath. No seats cos the train was very crowded. Then, out of nowher, the guy seated in front of her woke up, saw her, and asked her, 'Excuse me, would you like the seat?' SHE WAS MORTIFIED COS THE MAN THOUGHT SHE WAS PREGNANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! At first, she didn't understand why he offered her the seat then she realised that she looked pregnant. Of course she wanted the ground to swallow her cos she was beyond embarrassed. But she maintained her composure and just said, 'No, I'm fine.' OH MY GOD!!!!!!!! If that happened to me, I would cry and not eat for a long time. Of course Maya was upset, and she lamented to everyone about it. But it's ridiculous! Maya's not fat at all! I think the guy was delirious. Maya, I know you are reading this and trust me, you don't look fat. At all. He was delusional. But I thought it was hilarious, after being mortified for her for a few seconds. And I laughed like a maniac.

Anyway, my sisters took leave tomorow and we are going to JB. Cheap food, cheap shopping. And the ringgit's really crappy right now so going to JB is a fantastic idea! Just have to endure the sun and mat Malaysia.
