My Telepathic Friend

We came from the same state
We are crazy over the same food

Nasi Belauk
Nasi Kerabu
Nasi Dagang
Gulai Singgang
Gulai darat

(You name it…!)

We speak the same dialect
We always make fun of our own dialect

“Pah tu? Buleh doh tu… ”
“Tak dok apo apo…”
“Bak po mung gelenya gak?”
“Olah olah olah…”
“Sombong teh!”


Oh, how we love doing this
Impersonating the way our own people speak

You see, we are both modern
Having a metropolitan lifestyle
But we talk about our cultures so openly
The reasons?

I think we are both detached from the stereotypes
But we are also attached to our root in our own way
This makes us atypical non-conformists
This blend makes us uniquely “French” (hmm...)

Yes, we always get excited over petty things
We always get hysterical over small things
Over cooking
Over swimming
Over traveling
Over shopping

Oh, we just love shopping
We always buy things together
We always like the same things
And we end up buying the same things together

The amazing thing is
Even in separate occasions
When we do our own shopping
We sometimes buy exactly the same things

Blue Seed t-shirt
Red fighting fish
Black Flipper sandal
White Arena swimming cap
(and even the same brand of detergent!)

Coincidental?
I don’t think so

He is my telepathic friend

Meet cekmi – a confused Kelantanese man who is continuously amused by his blurry budu past and his modern chopstick life. As he moves further up towards his worldly pursuit, he moves even closer down to his original state of buduness. These are his budu tales.
