BONE

I was doing the dishes when Along walked into the kitchen. She placed herself at the table and looked out of the window. My maternal instinct told me that this girl was upset about something. I really wanted to ask her but decided to let her start. After a while, she broke the silence.

 'Mom, I'm confused ... in Pahang we say tulang instead of tulan right ? What about in Trengganu? Do they say tulang or tulan ? '

I turned around to look at her and answered,  
'My dear, Pahang and Trengganu people say the same, tulang. Why are you asking? '

By then, I was even more curious. 

'Well,' she started to explain, ' I had an argument with a friend this morning. She said, in Trengganu, they say tulang but in Pahang we say tulan.' 
At that point, I had no choice but to ask her to consult  Abang. 

'Ok then, ask your father, he knows better since he's from Trengganu. Go on, ask him.'

I quickly ushered her to Abang. So the poor girl went to her father and asked the same question. 

Abang just looked at her and cheekily answered, 'We Trengganu people do not say tulan or tulang. We say BONE!' 
Eeee  geramnyer...
