THE FUNNY THING II

(muzik: ting-ting-ting-tong ting-ting-ting-tong)

Puan F: Hullo, F bercakap.

Mat Jan: Puan. It's me. Syafizan. Have my problem settled?

Puan F: Hah, Syafizan. Puan M did mention your name and Ayu's during the Senate's Meeting. But THE FUNNY THING is...

Mat Jan: (Dalam hati: Oh no. Not again.)

Puan F: ...cuma nama Ayu dimasukkan dalam graduation's list. Nama you tidak. I don't know why.

Mat Jan: Ha? Hari tu sangkut kat Pusat Bahasa. Hari ni sangkut kat Mesyuarat Senat. Lepas ni sangkut kat mana pulak?

Puan F: Syafizannn... mana boleh sangkut kat mana-mana lagi. Senat adalah badan tertinggi universiti. List tu dah disahkan Senat. Keputusan Senat adalah muktamad. Sebarang pindaan tak boleh dibuat. Surat-menyurat tak akan dilayan...

Mat Jan: Email?

Puan F: Email pun.

Mat Jan: So wh-wha-what am I supposed to do now?

Puan F: You have to come back on 17th and register for BEL411.

Mat Jan: Dan masuk kelas BEL411 sepanjang semester depan?

Puan F: Yup.

Mat Jan: Dan ambil exam bulan Oktober?

Puan F: Absolutely. Kalau tidak you tak grad.

Mat Jan: This is unfair!

Puan F: This is life.

Mat Jan: So, bila I konvo?

Puan F: March 2005.

Mat Jan: OH NOOO!!!

Puan F: Oh yes.

Mak tepuk-tepuk kaki aku. "Bangkit, sembahyang subuh!" kata mak.

What a nightmare!
