I think it was 1970.<BR/><BR/>Kak Ton was so not sporting then.<BR/>She ratted on us after she came to our house at about 8.30pm and saw some boys there and the party was in full swing -- music and all. But, you know, quite innocent, actually.<BR/><BR/>Bapak and Mak were in Singapore. We didnt expect Kak Ton and Abang Ani to drop by.<BR/><BR/>She was very angry. She told us the party was over. So everyone had to go home. Abang Ani was very nice, told her to not get so angry. <BR/>When Bapak came back, she dutifully reported to bapak.<BR/>Actually, looking back, I think Bapak was quite amused by it, but had to act tough to make Kak Ton look good.<BR/><BR/>He told us not to do it again and as punishment, told us to spend the weekend with Kak Ton and Abang Ani in Kuala Kubu Baru. Abang Ani was magistrate there and Kak Ton was teaching there.<BR/><BR/>Some punishment! Kak Ton thought it was a fitting punishment. A weekend in KKB. How boring was that? But, we define what is boring and what is not. so, a weekend in KKB can NOT be boring if we so define it. <BR/>Yep. We had a great time because abang ani got his brothers arwah Teh, Din and Pin over. We explored KKB. <BR/><BR/>(PS: we are very close to Abang Ani's brothers until today -with the exception of Teh who passed away a few years back. Din and Pin are running Kafe 4-Teen.)NURAINA A SAMADhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07671206532110686716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38530403.post-2767978077158139252007-04-20T01:38:00.000+08:002007-04-20T01:38:00.000+08:00Kak EnaThis is getting interesting.
