The "Potong" Story

Tomorrow is the the starting of Ramadhan so better tell this potong story today or else penulis blog nie hilang pahala bulan puasa.

It all started on a fateful day (err should I start with once upon a time) when I received a call from a very good friend of mine who is a Chinese from Terengganu. He is also one of the senior officers here in Jabatan Perumahan Negara, whom I always joked with during meetings. Normally when he called me, he usually will shout my name in excitement like "Jaime!"

But dunno why that day he put on his most Malayish slang and instead bagi salam to me on the phone. So I pun terkejut lah ... Haji mana lah call I pagi-pagi buta.

"Errr ... sapa nie?"

"Woi tak jawab salam berdosa weii"

"Huh?" serba salah pulak nak jawab salam. Actually, I almost contemplated answering in this following manner:
(a) "Ya ... lu cali sapa?" or
(b) "Excuse me, I don't understand Malay, do you mind speaking in English?"

Tanpa mengecikkan hati mana-mana pihak, I jawab dengan penuh sopan santun ketimuran, "Encik salah nombor kot? Encik sebenarnya nak cakap dengan sapa?"

Then I heard this guy laughing on the other line ... "Woi Jaime ... nie XXX lah."

"Wah gila lah lu ... I thought Haji mana called me just now" I scolded him.

Then he said, " Hehehe ... saya sudah POTONG maa"

... and that's how our POTONG SAGA started.

So later that afternoon, we attended a meeting together and as usual decided to sit beside each other. The meeting at first was very dry when everyone had to crack their brains giving opinion or "pasang kipas" on our KSU slide presentation to Tan Sri KSN. Then suddenly the meeting turned jovial with everyone throwing jokes at each other. Paham2 sahaja lah when members of the meeting are mostly men with "mid 40's crisis" ... banyak lah jokes yang "double meaning".

Then suddenly one of the bosses said "Ok Miss YYY, slide 1 kita potong. Slide 2 pun kita potong, slide 5 kita potong and slide Mr XXX no 7 ... kita kasi POTONG sama dia"

Apalagi I sebelah Mr XXX pun terus pecah ketawa sampai sakit buah pinggang.

My boss who happened to be in the same meeting, looked at me curiosly ... huhuhu

" Aiii Jaime, tau ke apa yang nak kena POTONG tu?" he said sambil tersengih2. Of course sure lah akak ketawa lagi sampai nak pengsan.

Mr XXX who was sitting next to me cepat-cepat tutup mulut I sambil cakap "Don't tell ar, don't tell ar ..." Makin lah orang curious tgk kami.

Anyway, I finally said "Tanya sama XXX la , apa sudah POTONG. Saya mana tau!"

The End.

Huhuhu..cita potong u sungguh menggeletek. Kalau giniwine punya cita, u mesti tanya kenapa Hj baru tu
potong. Mat Saleh pun banyak yg naik haji cara tu (naik haji kerana ......kena balut sesudah potong). Islam mengutamakan kebersihan dan beri kebahagiaan pada orang lain. Tak payah i cita panjanglah, nanti keluar dari point lak, hehe.

Jaime, kalau ko nak tahu kesudahan komen Norzah berkenaan kebersihan dan kebahagiaan pd org lain tu, I boleh elaborate kan. Maklumlah, I dah khatam teorinya, praktikal nye je yg belum. Hahahaha.

Rambo... potong yg u tulis nie tak sama kan ngan ais krim potong.... keh keh keh!

To Yoyop and Norzah, pasal kebersihan memang i tau sebab all the male members in my family memang POTONG hehehe Pasal kebahagiaan .... hehehe ko cepat jer ya Yop. Norzah ... maybe itu pasal lah taste ke arah mat salleh sekarang kot sebab banyak yang sudah POTONG ... oh no oh no ...

Semin: Sama tak sama, itu mau kena tanya orang dah kawin lah ... tapi I memang favorite ais krim potong perisa tembikai susu

rambomadonna said...

Rasanya cepat jer...sbb dulu pun berguru pun Pn. Jamilah Abdullah. Ko kenal pakar tu Jaime. Hmmm...masa nak komen ni pun, iklan by Googles kat bwh tu iklan benda ni-
Suami Tahan Lama Isteri Bahagia Zakar Power Prestasi Batin Idaman
www.hariharimau.com.

Hmmm...cuba ko tgk kalu belum berubah la.

rambomadonna said...

Puan Jamilah Abdullah??? Macam familiar sekali nama itu. Pernah keluar TV3 bah kan hehehe yelah personaliti agama yang pernah hampir menggugat kedudukan Dr. Masitah hehehe

Apa-apa pun sememangnya kebahagian suami isteri tidak hanya terletak pada apa yang perlu di POTONG saja. Isteri pun kena jaga POTONGAN badan supaya suami tak terPOTONG "XXX". Kena tgk jugak prinsip2 fizik mcm diajar cikgu suhaila seperti Inertia, Regangan, Tegangan dan Momentum ... betul tak cikgu?
