I Miss My Stud...tsk..tsk..

A few months ago, I pierced my nose. Yup!! It's just one of my impulsive, lunatic, on the spot decision kinda thing. The three of us, hubby, daughter and I jalan-jalan kat Plaza Masalam, Shah Alam. Then I caught the sight of a piercing stall near the escalator (byk lagi benda lain aku boleh notice, apsal piercing stall?).
Out of the blue, I went and asked my hubby the one million dollar question:

"Yang, kalau I nak pierce my nose boleh tak?".

"Sure, go ahead, kalau you berani." Replied my husband.

Kalau I berani? Is that a challenge? Pantang aku kena cabar! OK, let's do it Noen. Without second thought, I walked straight to the piercing booth and made my enquiries.

"Leng looi, kalau I nak pierce nose, how much arr?".

"Haiyyaa...cheap only..Rm8.00. Lu mau kaa?". Minah cina tokey kedai pandang aku, pandang hubby aku, pandang anak aku.....KENAPA? TAK PERCAYA KEERR..

"OK, saya nak pierce hidung sebelah kiri. Sakit tak?" hehhee...tetiba lak cold feet.

"No laarr...rasa macam kena cubit sajerr".

Ye laa tuhh...ko pernah kena cubit dengan mak aku? Bisa sampai buah pinggang! 2 minggu pun belum tentu hilang lebam tau! I turn around and saw my hubby AND my daughter berbisik and then sengeh sampai ke telinga. Mengumpat aku la tuh! Hmmphh...like father like daughter!

"Mau ka tak mau?".

Hisshh...amoi nih nak kena pelempang jepun aku agaknyerr, sabar laaa!

"OK. You kasi tanda dulu. Nanti you salah aim, tertembak lubang lain plak. Then I have to sue you!".

Sengeh plak amoi nihh..Dia pun amik marker and mark hidung aku.

That's it. No turning back. Amoi tokey kedai prepare her tools: spray (to numb the desired piercing area), gloves, piercing pistol, nose stud and tissues (babi laa..mesti dia ingat aku nak nangis!).
Mula-mula, she sprayed my left nostril, must always look down, pause breathing for a few seconds, kalau terinhale boleh pengsan beb! Pastu, dia attached nose stud kat pistol and aim...FIRE!!

Aikk...itu jer keerr...anti climax betul! Tak sakit pun!!

"Haaaa...I told you rite....tak sakit punyaaa...macam kena cubit sajerr."

Cubit cibai lu. Aku cubit kang!

"Memang tak sakit. Nih berapa hari tak bleh kena air? Bila bleh ganti stud? You ade design lain tak? Klau infection camne?".

Haaaa... ko jawab sekarang.....kalau tak jawab aku cubit!

Amoi pun bagi ceramah kat aku - tak kisah kalau kena air, tapi make sure keringkan betul-betul. Give it 24 hours, pastu dah bleh tukar stud yang lain. But baru baru nih kalau bukak, mesti cepat pasang balik, daging hidung cepat cantum, nanti tertutup plak lubang. Kalau infection, jangan jumpa dia, jumpa doktor. Ehh..melawak dia! Whattajoke!

Aku purchase dua pasang stud lain, esok nak ganti.

"Yang, amacam, OK tak? Dik, Ok tak?" Seeking approval from the professional judges.

Anak aku punya reply memang best.

"Ma, macam teacher Dinie kat school, teacher Komathi, dia pun ada tindik kat hidung!".

Adusss...sentapnyerr!!!
Laki aku...tak ingat punyer gelak....macam lanun jumpa harta karun..MUAHAHAHAHA!!!

Takpeee...takpeee...gua tak kisaahh!! Gua rasa gua nampak kewl! Leonardo Da Vinci believed that the nose set the character of the whole face. The new stud definitely add to my character, beri aku branding baru - HOT MAMA!

For the next few months, aku rasa sangat bergaya dan confident dengan nose stud aku. Aku menjadi bahan gosip terbaru di office especially di kalangan kaum India. Big bos aku Indian lady, even dia pun datang jumpa aku, checking out my nose stud. Kelakau!!
Kakak-kakak besar kat office, sampai juling bijik mata menjeling hidung aku! Apsal, jeles ker?
Parents aku tak kisah pun. Aku ingat bila mak aku nampak hidung aku dah bercucuk besi macam lembu, sure kena cubit, tak pun kena lecture sampai cair taik telinga. Weirdly enough, diorang kewl! Cuma pesan bapak aku, bila amik wuduk, make sure air kena kat piercing area, kalau tak, wuduk tak sah. hehehhehe....sentap lagi!

Last week however, aku terpaksa membuat keputusan yang agak syahdu. A letter from Kementerian Pendidikan Hulu Langat sampai ke tangan hubby aku, mentioning on the acceptance of my daughter to a primary school kat sini and kena gi buat pengesahan kat sekolah berkenaan in August.

Apa relevant surat nih dengan nose stud aku?

Let me tell you this. Anak aku currently sekolah kat Smartreader Kids (pre-school). Cikgu-cikgu dia termasuk dengan principal dia sekali memang best! Memang kewl! Setakat tindik hidung nih memang tak heran laa!
However, alam sekolah rendah lain skit. Cikgu-cikgu dia can be very ignorant, mean and inconsiderate all at the same time. Gila old school. Nama jer cikgu, tapi tak cukup ilmu.
Macamana aku bleh dapat conclusion nih. Makcik aku hantar anak dia kat sekolah yang sama dengan sekolah yang anak aku akan enrole nih. Pada satu hari yang sial, ustazah sekolah tu pesan kat anak makcik aku:

"Sesiapa yang tak pakai tudung nanti masuk neraka. Cakap kat mak awak tau."

Budak nih balik rumah menangis. Ustazah told everybody in the class that my auntie will go to hell because dia tak pakai tudung.

What the fuck??

Tuh baru tudung belum tindik hidung lagi!!

Jadi, aku telah mengambil keputusan untuk korbankan nose stud aku.
Aku tak nak anak aku ditindas di sekolah oleh cikgu-cikgu yang moronic macam nih.
Aku tak nak anak aku di outcast kat sekolah because the mother ade nose stud.
Aku tak nak disebabkan aku, anak tak boleh belajar dengan tenang. Hak dia. Aku mesti beralah.

Hey, guess what? I've also decided that on the day of registration, I will wear baju kurung with tudung.

Hypocrite? You think? So What?
