MEETING AIMAN AMANI

Last Saturday, that was 11 April, my wife and I went to the official opening of Kemaman's Recreation and Mini Zoo, Bukit Takal by YAB Menteri Besar Terengganu.

I will tell more about the mini zoo in another entry, may be later. For now what I want to tell was what happened after the ceremony.

After an invigorating canopy walk in the mini zoo, we decide to have lunch at the famous chicken rice joint in Kg mak Chili.

We ordered four chicken rice - one for me to be eaten there, and three for take-away. The rice was delicious.

A newly wed couple, with still fresh hennaed fingers, sat next to our table. Once in a while she glanced at me, perhaps she recognised me frrom somewhere.

Then came a family. They pulled out tables to seat their family members. Then I heard the mother calling a family member's name - Aiman.

Aiman? Is she my blogger friend? I looked at the children's faces - yes, they looked familiar.

We left the chicken rice shop with the question still hanging unanswered.

Next morning Kak Moon sent me an sms asking me whether I was going for my brisk walk. I said no as I was going for health screening in Hospital Kemaman.

I asked her whether Aiman's family had dropped by her house yesterday. She said yes.

Then it was true what we had thought. It was indeed Aiman Amani and her family at the chicken food joint yesterday!

Aiman, if you read this entry, please accept my apology for not 'tegur'ing you. I knew it was you, but I was afraid that it was another Aiman. Please forgive me.

The moral of the story: When you think you have met someone you know, tegur je...or otherwise you will regret it later
