Wouldn't it be better if...

Gambar hiasan. Hanya untuk tujuan pencucian mata.

Just now, I was watching a soccer match (between Chile and I don't know who)...

And I tercompliment a Chile soccer player, "Eh, hensemnya!" ('Rugi taktau nama die' getus hati ku).

And then Mak said, "Torres pun hensem jugak Along!"

Amalina replied, "Torres tu sapa Mak?"

Mak answered, "La, Torres pun tak kenal ke?"

*~*~*

How many of you actually memorize soccer players' names? And their clubs? And their birth countries?

Hardcore fans surely memorize these things.

But wouldn't it be better if we had memorized the name of the sahabats?

*~*~*

Ini tidak.

Kalau tanya Amalina, sahabat yang kenal cuma Umar, Uthman, Ali, Abu Bakar. The 4 caliphs.

Paling kurang pun Bilal, sebab dulu pernah baca pasal dia.

Sahabat lain jangan harap nak kenal.

Tu belum masuk bab-bab great people in Islamic history.

Kalau tak sibuk-sibuk join ISK, haprak satu benda pun tak tau.

Ape? Salahuddin Al-Ayubbi? Siapa tu?

HAH? AL-Fateh? Siapa tu?

Kamal Attartuk? Siapa tu? (ini bukan tokoh, saya tahu).

*~*~*

Kan?

Kan?

Kalau nak hafal nama Digimons tu boleh aje (Don't challenge me. I used to memorize all their names, even the digivolved ones). Tak masuk Digidestined lagi tu.

~

Nak hafal nama artists? Lagi boleh. Nak apa? DBSK? SHINee? 2PM? 2AM? Wonder Girls? SNSD? KARA? SUJU? f(x)? Orang Range?

~

Hafal games' characters? Boleh boleh.

Suikoden I alone ada 200++ characters. Tak masuk Suikoden II and Suikoden V. Dah dekat 600++ character names tu. Naseb baik tak main Suikoden III and IV.

Final Fantasy lagi. Kingdom Hearts lagi. The Tales series lagi. Harvest Moon lagi.

~

Hafal nama anime/manga characters? LAGI BOLEH!

FMA? Dragonball? Eyeshield? Naruto? Hitman Reborn? Fullmetal Panic? Sailormoon? Tengen Toppa Gurenn Lagann? Gundam Seed Destiny? Gundam Wing? Saiunkoku Monogatari? Hana Yori Dango? Ouran High School Host Club? Detective Conan? Bleach yang berlambak-lambak taichou and fukutaichou tu?

*~*~*

Tapi kalau kakak usrah tanya, "Kenal tak sahabat sekian sekian sekian?"

Menggelabah tak boleh jawab. Senyum kambing je la...

Pastu kakak usrah pun cakap, "Oh, tak kenal, takpe. Meh, sahabat ni cerita dia macam ni..."

*~*~*

Begitulah kroniknya masalah saya ini.

Head up in the cloud. Oblivious to facts and historical figures.

Konklusi rambling Amalina kali ini:

I don't want to memorize soccer players' names. Thank you.
