A while ago I wrote about how I made friends with some of the patients here. One of them, C, dropped by my room today.
C : Knock knock, woi....lu apa macam??? (C is chinese)
Me: Eh, C? What are u doing here la? I ingat u tengah happy-happy dekat rumah.
C : Saya datang jumpa itu satu lagi patient la, dia panggil saya datang sini, angkat air from him..
Me: Air apa?
C : Air minum la, dia kata manyak bagus, itu orang melayu sembahyang2 punya..
Me: Oh...like that ah??
I thought, wah this dude really ikhtiar one... and I wondered, as muslims, are we allowed to do the same? Let's say someone comes to me with some water yang dah dibaca2 by a buddhist monk, am I allowed to drink it?
Ok lar, I better go now before I start talking and writing like C.
