Tambi Adam

Adam saw his friend, Alaudin on our trip back from school. As usual, he likes to call Alaudin out loud and waves him bye-bye.

Thus today, nothing was irregular except that Alaudin called him back.

"Bye tambi", said Alaudin.

My silent immediate response was "kureng asam punya budak". And to my own surprise, I responded to Adam..

"Adam, do you know that Tambi means brother? Why does Alaudin call you brother?"

Adam was surprised.

"Really mama? Tambi is brother?"

"Yes. That's why you cannot simply call on people unless you know what it means."

"Oh! Actually Umar (another classmate) calls everybody tambi. I dont know why"

And I imagined Umar with the mamak style having roti canai banjir in his left hand and milo ais on the other hand. Haha...

I'm patting my shoulder with this improvement. I know if the same situation happened 5 years ago, I would have shouted to Alaudin.

Good job! Pat! Pat! Pat!
