A night in Ipoh.

-sekarang dah insaf kerana tak larat nak berlari lagi.
blog buih

The 4 of us, dapat lesen pegi ipoh dengan alasan nak beli barangan sukan.

Pegi ipoh, lepak sampai malam. tak tau nak duduk mana. kitorang lepak kat kentuck 24 hours.

So, bila dah abis fries semua, still tak tau nak buat ape. kitorang decide untuk jalan2 kat luar.

Tetiba lalu satu mat rempit. Dia jerit something like "balik la woi!". My dear friend from the same house, responded "Okkk!" sambil kitorang gelak2....

Tetiba.

Ada benda bergolek kat tepi aku. Lepas aku cam benda tu adalah sebijik helmet siap dengan stiker jaki jipang ngan tricolor daun ganja[1], aku pusing belakang dan nampak ade sekumpulan mat rempit dah start kejar.

aku start lari dulu.

The others started to run as well. The problem was we didn't know where to go. So berlari la 4 ekor budak koleq merentasi malam yang sunyi di Ipoh. Aku stop bila sampai depan Excelsior[2]. Semua dah muka cuak. Lepak2 kat situ kejap tunggu line clear.

Lepas tu kitorang jalan2 pegi Syuen. The real one, not the one we go to watch movies.

Bila semua dah penat, kitorang tertido. Aku tak ingat bila aku tido. Aku tau aku terjaga pagi, sejuk gile. Aku tengok ada makcik2 dan pakcik2 cina sedang buat tai chi.

Sempat jalan2 kat Ipoh lagi sebelum pulang petang tu.[3]

[1] exaggerated to show the inclination of the mob towards the rempit movement. Mungkin juga sticker Akai atau Aku hidup dalam blues.

[2] during a recent visit to Ipoh, I drove between the two points where we ran for our lives. I dont think I would walk that far now, let alone run.

[3] though the favorite punchline from the story above was "Peah lari lagi laju dari Bothaq ngan Baber!" It isn't really true as I had a headstart and I could never out run the them who were an excellent outside centre and also the captain of the koleq football team[3.1] in our glory days.
[3.1] ke kita ada kapten bola lain?
