O Hail Thee! Tampon!
Prelude to Side Three of Three



"Lalat, kau ada bau ikan tak?"
"Kat dorm tadi?"
"Bukan, kat sini."
"Kat kelas? Ada apa kat tong sampah?"
"Ada tak?"
"Sampah ikan?"
"Bau, bau ikan, kau ada bau?"
"Takde."
"Takde?"
"Ada hanyir-hanyir sikit, tapi biasa ah, tengahari tadi dewan makan hidang apa..."
"Bukan ah, dol, bau ikan serius ni, bau ikan mentah."
"Mana?"
"Kau tak bau?"
"Tak."
"Tak?"
"Tak le."
"Damn, aku sorang je ke yang bau?"

Then, the guy started asking the same question to other guys in the class for a while, a few said yes, a few more said no, but most just didn't give a damn, before finally making a great class havoc and the mistake of his life by asking the girl who sat closest to him.

"Aina, kau ada bau hanyir ikan tak?"
"Diam ah kau! Menyibuk je!"

Then, some of the girls in the class, as if in total understanding to her response, and what good coordinated attack that they gave, joined in on the poor guy.

"Ntah apa-apa ntah dia ni."
"Bodoh ke apa dia ni?"
"Banyak ah songeh dia pulak."
"Ntah, diam-diam dah ah."

At first, I had no idea why the sudden angry reaction, but now I know.
