The weather is so gloomy in good ole Malaya. It rains and it rains and it rains......It definitely has affected my mood and I miss the bright sunny evenings when we would sit at the garden, sipping tea, eating cookies and admiring the waterfall flowing into the koi pond.
Imran: Ma, look, there's a beautiful dragonfly, perching at the beak of your flamingo.
Mama: Do you know that dragonflies live only for a day? They don't even own a mouth as there is no neccessity to eat.
Imran: Really??? Why do they need to exist then, since it's only for a day.
Mama: That one day is just enough for them to reproduce. They are at the lower rung of the food chain, and the dragonflies are food to other creatures like the birds. At the same time they also aid in the process of pollination.
Imran: Wow..How do you know about all these things, mama??
Papa: Mesti lah, kan mama an anthropologist?
Mama: Papa! anthropologist tu orang yang gali tanah kat Lembah Bujang untuk nak cari periok2 lama tu lah!! mama ni ENTOMOLOGIST!!!
Papa: OOohh..sori...OK, lain kali papa ingat..semut..ant...so you are an e-n-t-o-m-o-l-o-g-i-s-t......
Imran: What do you learn in order to be an entomologist,mama?
Mama: I specialise in the Insect Kingdom!
Imran: What has that got to do with you managing a Travel Agency?
Mama: Eh, banyak songeh pulak budak ni! At least my company has a healthy balance sheet, my staff get their annual bonus and 10% pay increase next year! There was this person who studied history, was entrusted to manage an airline, has caused the company to go near bankrupt! As a result, papa and his colleague are getting a 30% pay cut!!...
Eh, apa ni mama merepek! The weather has obviously affected my line of thoughts as well.....
I still can't find the answer to Imran's last question.
