It is not just a piece of cloth on my head. Or yours.
So here I was trying to print out 50 feedback forms for the event tomorrow and looking at the resources for my essay when suddenly, out of nowhere, I felt this super kuat hit on my back. It was painful ok! But I just remained stoned. I was thinking ni mesti Farah ke Banu ke siapa2 but then I thought I heard a woman’s AND a man’s voice going “baaah!” accompanying that super kuat hit (and this monolgue thingy happened very fast ok, obviously!).
Theeeeen I saw a man’s head popping out from my side. “Oh my God, I am soo sorry. We thought you were our friend. Oh my God, sorry sorry sorry” and his friend started to go sorry2 on me too.
I was dumbfounded. I just smiled. And for that few seconds, I really thought I was gonna cry. It’s like the shock plus the humiliation of being the centre of attention (coz everyone in the central library nye computer cluster had their eyes on us!!) and also the fact that some random chinese guy just smacked by back, HARD!
This is too ridiculous. And they walked out of the library, laughing out loud.
I AM IN TUDUNG, FOR GOD’S SAKE! WHAT MADE THE GUY THINK THAT HE CAN SMACK MY BACK IN THAT MANNER??!!
BECAUSE SOME TUDUNG PEOPLE THINK IT’S OK TO BE SMACKED IN THAT MANNER LA.
SOME TUDUNG PEOPLE CAN BE SMACK-ERS LAGI ADA.
I swear I am on the verge of exploding. Context: Been listening to all these tudung talks and proper behaviour that is EXPECTED to come along with a tudung-wearer recently. Ahhh I better log out before I un-bilhikmah-ly rattle things which I am not supposed to. But I am not letting this go, I promise.

Mangsa bully kooot that tudung girl..
Depends on what type of laugh also, paiseh laugh or deliberate laugh.. Mana tau diorang memang sengaja buat gitu as an insider prank?
Various possibilities.. just from a personal viewpoint.
Anybody would be angry though. If it was me, the next time, I’d try to immediately overcome the shock and smack back.. then say,’Oh sorry, sorry..paiseh ah.. reflex action!?’

‘Here we see perfect harmony between words and actions. It is one thing to speak about controlling one’s anger. It is another thing to exhibit such self-control when caught off guard. The perfect harmony between word and deed is one of the Prophet’s exemplary character traits that makes him the perfect role-model for the believers.’
a good article to reflect on.. ‘en.islamtoday.net/artshow-434-3443.htm’ (‘Ya Muhammad! Give me some of what you have…’)
