Kecut perut

I think its an affliction thats been passed down from mother to daughter. for both AH n me, we're constantly going thru this irritating state of being.

Kecut perut.... people looking at us would never really guess. not unless they go beyond the muka selamba kodok and the sometimes relaxed sometimes aggressive stance to the slight breathlessness, cold n clammy hands and sudden greenish tinge lol. see, we present to the world this confident, independent facade but in reality, kitorang senang sangat kecut perut. and we're both not really a people sort of person - we're easily overwhelmed by large crowds, we develope 2 left feet at social functions, we cringe at any sign of conflict and we kinda lose our tongues in public.

Today AH came home with that tell-tale greenish tinge. yup its a sure sign of a kecut perut session in progress.

"Ok girl spill it all out, what happened?"

Throwing me a desperate look, "ma.. mati la ma... ", a long suspenseful silence and... "echa kena jadi emcee bulan ni!!!!!", another desperate look and she was getting progressively greener by the minute.

AH's been a school prefect since form 1 and has so far been able to maneuvre her way around becoming the emcee, a duty thats rotated monthly. well, seems that her luck's run out and she starts tomorrow.... and boy, is she flustered!! mana tak nye since it involves speaking in front of the whole school, every day, for a whole month. i would be too bcos neither of us like being thrust into the limelight, major kecut perut!!!

So i took her aside and sat her down. my rather vast experience on kecut perut has taught me that the best thing to do is to nip the feeling in the bud bcos dwelling on it will only make it worse. first thing to establish was...

"Can you wiggle your way out of this one?" i asked and dengan penuh tidak bersemangatnya sidaro pun menggeleng.

Yours truly pulak dengan penuh bersemangatnya menjawab, "then of course, what we need is to formulate a plan of action". i knew that would at least get her out of the vicious kecut perut loop and afford her some sense of control. if she took the bait that is.

Alhmdulillah, after talking it thru with her for awhile, she was already calling up her friends for tips and pointers on the matter lol. thats my girl :)

Public speaking.... sheesh, it can make even a grown woman cry (well this woman anyways lol).
