I am Bimbo 2 (Volume II of the Bimbo Chronicles)

I am Bimbo 2 occured during semester 3, probably a month ago


Miss A and I stepped out from the car, along with Miss B, and her boyfriend Mr C, who had been driving us and wasn't from around.

Mr C had picked the three of us up from campus to take us out for dinner. After all, we were all kind of sick of the same old Mak Aya, Kawah Thai and Belanga fare that we would have every night.

Miss B had suggested we head over and eat at Nilai International College. I was down with that. Heck, I was down for anything! Especially as I wasn’t even hungry and didn’t plan to do anything except drink and accompany my friends. And check out Mr C, of course, since I’d heard so much about him.

Miss A and I entered Kopitiam first, with the other lovebirds approximately 3 feet behind us. As we entered, all eyes of the male diners there strayed towards us. And stayed there.

I rolled my eyes. Typical. Everywhere you go, there would be horny guys leering at you. You were never left in peace, whether it was to go have a drink with your girlfriends at a cafĂ©, or just hanging out at the mall. What, did they think we were here to give them a free show or something? What was it that Habib had said in Miss B’s Critical Thinking class the other day? Guys think about sex every seven seconds.


Ew. Ok, maybe not exactly that. But I know it was seven something.

It was time to give them a piece of their own medicine.

‘Miss A,’ I said as loudly as I could, as the two of us walked in. ‘Look! They’re all staring at us because we’re so beautiful.’

Hah! All the guys immediately jumped and turned away. Take that! I thought triumphantly.

Miss A's big round eyes were even bigger and rounder than usual. ‘Shurfa!’ she mouthed, scandalised. She turned to Miss B and relayed what I had done.

Miss B’s eyes widened too. ‘You do know why they were staring at us, don’t you?’ she hissed as we all sat down on a table.

I threw a scornful glance towards the guys table and raised my voice again. ‘Duh. Because they’re perverted, that’s why.’ Good. They heard me.

Miss B rolled her eyes. ‘No. It’s because we’re dressed so strangely.’

I looked down at what I was wearing.

Oh. Yeah. Tudung. Baju kurung. In Miss A and Miss B's case: Jubah. In a college campus where everyone – especially non-Muslims – dressed freely in shorts. And tank tops.

Ooops.

Hey, Naz here, got here from the comment you posted on my blog... great blog you have too! Anyway, I do respect the fact that you all daringly dressed up so in such a place. There's nothing wrong with dressing up that way; it's sad that some of our people actually lose their hijab and maybe even more when they enter such places because of this 'need to fit in'.

That must have been quite embarassing! huhu.

hahahahahaha trust me Mumu, it was so embarassing. i was like "shurfa, stop" all the time.

*salute* That was a good one anisah. As what naz said, there's nothing wrong with you dressings, it's them who were not able to appreciate it. :D keep up the good work! Looking forward for Bimbo 3, :P take care and have a nice day sis! ;D

Naz: Hi! Yeah, we were from Nilai campus, so we couldn't really be bothered to change out of baju kurung and jubah to something more selamba just cuz we'd be stepping out of UIA ;-)Fitting in? Bah, please. I'd rather stand out than be one of the faceless crowd

Pastaholic: Or do you mean "stalk"? :-P

Moon: Actually, I just laughed it off and didn't think it was a big deal! You know how I am ;-) But Syahirah and Dina were so scandalised.

When it comes to smokers, I usually make disgusted faces at them and cough pointedly. There was one time a buch of dudes sat beside our table at a cafe on campus, and started smoking! The horrific smell wafted right at our table while we were eating! I told them to go smoke somewhere else, but then they told me to leave instead! Kurang ajar >:-(

Syahirah: Come on, I just wanted to embarrass them for staring at us so obviously! How was I supposed to know it was just because we were dressing differently? :-P

fishy@ike: Thanks! Heheh! I'm not sure when I can come up with Bimbo 3, because, contrary to popular belief, I ain't a bimbo all the time ;-)

Moon said...

btw nini, i think your blog is the best blog in the land of UIA. hahaha

Myra's said...

shurfee shurfee..you are so cute! haha x)

anisah shurfa said...

Moon: WOW? Seriously?! :-D Thanks Moon! Especially as I know you read a lot of people's blogs.

WAIT.

Are you saying this only because Dolly told you that I told her I'm planning to go on hiatus? :-P



Myra: Hahaha! Thanks sayang! :-D

Moon said...

ur goin on hiatus? what? dolly never told me that!! why??

anisah shurfa said...

No inspiration dah my dear :-( Nothing ever happens during the holidays because all I do is sleep all day or go to work, so there's nothing for me to write about ;-)

In fact, I already published a farewell post a few hours ago, until I suddenly realised I still haven't completed my UIA Nilai guide. So I saved it as drafts instead.

But I'll still post on my blog if anything interesting/inspiration strikes me! Just not as regularly.

And I'll definitely get back to regular blogging once I get into Gombak.

YAY GOMBAK!!

what's wrong with jubahs and baju kurungs anyway?? if they can wear shorts, even spenders in public then heck, why not baju kurungs and jubahs??

anisah shurfa said...

Tau takpe! That's why it didn't at all occur to me that they were staring at us because of our baju kurung and jubah ;-)
