Dek, Yang Tu Panggil 'Epal Hijau'


So, we all know that football is the "in" thing right now and even after the World Cup bid its goodbye, a lot of us are still going goo-goo gaa-gaa over this game, right?
Every Tom, Dick and Harry plus the average Joe and Jane still can't stop talking about the ultimate sport, the beautiful game and of course, they can't stop playing it either. Well, apparently, our dear and very much loved Slur (I bet you have been anticipating this post with a very worried heart) is also from this group of "Football Worshippers" because as un-athletic as she might be, she seriously loves kicking round objects (Thou shat refrain from saying "kicking balls"). What makes me say this? Read on, little lambs.
OK, now when did this happen? Ah~, I remember. It was a day not so long ago, a time not so distant from now.... (In other words yesterday morning). Slur's friend Yee Theng and her boyfriend (sorry I don't know his name) came to pick Slur and I up from college to go indulge ourselves in some early morning Baskins 31 (the road to obesity is never too early to travel).
Anyway, *bla bla bla bla bla*. We arrive at Baskins at about 10.30am, which is perfect because that's when they open, right? The sky was clear and pretty, the day was young and promising, and as we later found out, "Slur-ness" was on a record high.
The four of us were walking down the lane, Yee Theng and Slur arm in arm whereas I was busy thinking of what to order. Then suddenly, some green apples on the ground came into view and before I could say anything, Slur suddenly says, "Football!!!" and intentionally purposely with full-conscious went to kick the apple as hard as she can. I was awe-struck by how reckless some people can get that it took me a few nano-second to be able to blurt out, "SLUR!!! THOSE ARE THE PRAYER THINGY APPLES!!!!!" while pointing at the ginormous joss sticks lined up at the side of the road.
Yes, you read correct. Slur (during the Ghost Month, mind you) went full power and kicked the apples someone left by the road as offerings. Fortunately for her, she isn't really good at kicking because the apple didn't go far. At the very instant I said those words, I saw a huge hamster (a.k.a. Slur) run full speed after the rolling apple while shouting "Oooh~ SHIT!!!!". Now, a picture paints a thousand words and at that moment, a video would have won us the "Most Hilarious Moment of The Year" award, hands down. As the roads was curved and a little down-hill type, just as Slur ran upwards, the apple turned around and started rolling down. You can just imagine how she looked, arms out-stretched, body half-bent trying to reach for the ground and the most panicked expression on her face while running after a small little green apple.
Well, at least it didn't fall into the drain or anything and Slur got the apple back in front of the joss sticks. After that, she squat by the road-side as if she wanted to use the toilet and started praying and asking for forgiveness. Honestly, she looked like she had a terrible stomach ache.
All's well that ends well, right? So, after one and a half days, Slur is still alive and well with no signs of "interaction" with the other realm; However, I would like to advice all of you to not bring her along in any activity that contains even a slight risk factor. Don't get me wrong, I'm not concerned about her well being or anything, I would just hate to see a few friends die because one of them decided to display her non-talent in football which caused the bad, evil, hungry ghost to seek revenge.
By the way, when I asked her why she would just simply kick apples she sees by the road-side when she knows perfectly well that Chinese people give offerings in such a manner, she said, "I thought those apples fell from a tree or something."

PS: In case any of you are wondering, I believe the only tall and thin thing that was around that area was a lamp post.

hahaha.. wel, even if apples do drop from trees over there, u cant grow apples in m'sia.. o.0" so u cant possibly find a tree that drops apple over there.. unless u're like those indian movies where u can teleport to some european country after walkin out of baskins.. then an apple drops just like how newton discovered gravity.. then u kicked it.. then teleport back, together with the apple, and suddenly realisation comes in and u go chasing after it. =p
