Real Life Part 1

We were in the neighborhood 7-Eleven the other day and in came this lady in her nurse uniform wearing a facemask that is ubiquitous in this H1N1 day and age.

It was the lady's turn at the counter and she was holding up the line chatting up the male cashier who seemed more than happy to entertain the woman. Must be a regular customer, we deduced. Well, chatting up is a rather mild term to use. Flirting immoderately is more apt.

"I sakit lah" "Tak tau lah kenapa" "Pening kepala lah!" "Tak larat lah!"* The body language, the tone of voice and the demeanor all suggested an inappropriate flirting session was on the agenda. I mean, people (and young children) are lining up to pay, for goodness sake!

Even after she had paid her items, she stood on the vacant side of the long counter and continued talking to the guy who instantly became distracted in the process. Hello! Does this look like a place to pick up guys? There are kids around, you know.

At some point during the unexpected queuing, a group of trannies waltzed in to make a purchase. So when it was their turn at the counter to pay and the lady nurse remained glued to their left side, the following took place :

"Kesian-nye dia sakit"# said one of them, sizing the nurse up and down. The lady nurse glanced at 'her' to acknowledge the sympathy, but looked displeased at the unwelcome interruption to her conversation.
"Agaknya H-1-N-1 lah"+ said another in mock concern.
"Bukan H-1-N-1 lah, G-E-D-1-K lah,"~ was the sweet clincher from the first person.

And in unison all the Maks laughed out loud at this delicious comeback. Their trademark shrill could be heard long after they sashayed out of 7-E together. The nurse must be in utter disbelief at this clever snide remark as she turned uncharacteristically quiet behind that medical mask. Even the prospective boytoy cum cashier couldn't help but to smile widely. Unfortunately, the nurse had a quick recovery time and returned as per normal to her hapless prey.

Sad but true, a Gedik will always remain a Gedik!

As for us, we thoroughly enjoyed the Maks' in action against that serial cougar flirt.

Note : Gedik is a Malay word for an annoying and excessively form of flirt most prominently displayed by women.
