Patut ka tak patut?

Last couple of days I saw that a stall had been setup outside Giant Bayan Baru, selling all those pillows, lay mats, mattresses and such, which I think were made from kekabu. It caught my attention coz I'm a big fan of bantal kekabu and coincidentally I was looking for small cushions for our sofa.

So tonight after iftar and prayer, I dragged hubby to Giant to buy those cushions. After bargaining and finally settled on a price, hubby turned around to look at other stuff. At that moment, the mat bangla SA motioned to me with his hands and mouth. I was confused at first but after a few minutes I began to realize what he was saying. He actually asked me "Itu suami you kah??".

I was like "Hello mat bangla oi, sah2 la aku tengah sorong anak dalam stroller kan. What, you think that I - a married woman, am having an affair with some mat bangla like you is it? On second thought, are you saying that my hubby looks like he came to Malaysia on the same kapal with you? Or worse case scenario, euuwwww. I don't even wanna think of what he was capable of thinking.

Truth be told, during those time when we were courting, we did get glares and stares from strangers as we made quite an outstanding couple with me being a bit on the fairer side while he, the hitam darker side. Friends used to tease us with names like zebra, or tahi cicak. But once married and having a son we rarely got those stares from strangers anymore.

So tonight is the first time after such a long long time that I encountered such thing again, and the remarks came from some foreign workers at that. It kinda tickles me actually but the fact that it was a foreigner who said that, ada patut ka macam tu? Not that I have anything against foreigners, no I don't. ;-p

Apa kata survey?
