Been sometime since writing good thing. So I guess this post wont do much good impact on reader's perspective on looking for something good to read. But well, let me tell you something.
When I was a kid, there's this thing/object/subject/book/thing call Yellow Pages book, and at certain edition they would inserted this catalogue of old dial telephone models provided by Internet/Telephony Service Providers.
I love to watch all the designs recommended there. Got this one with very futuristic model, the one that is blue-ish and visible to the inside kinda look like Alien tech with wires of green and yellow visible and really attracted the attention of those who were living in the 90's if they are looking for a way to impress themselves while picking up the phone or calling whoever they wanted with the telephone. Till now I am still excited about the design. Too bad, phone models like that are replace with a much more cordless or wireless one.
Then I looked to the one used in the premise/house, the usual classic with curly wires and the one that you would hear "cracking things" when the other party or person hang up on you. It's not that bad, friendlier, familiar, and much more, what do normal people would say, uhh, ah, umm, uhmm, touchable? is it?.
Yeah same like the one you would hear when someone is using public phone to call you and then hang up, just like in classic movies, you would hear their sound engineer kinda push the sound up to your ears, the crackling sound "prerppreprepreprpperp", much more noticeable when the scene is in a romantic movie, kinda wanna show the audiences how the romance breaks with just a hung up call from either one of the pair of lover.
Talk about Yellow Pages, at times when I was having a very boring time of spending doing nothing, I would check up on the lists of names and telephone numbers listed there, and call the owner. Pranking with saying "hey stupid idiot" "you/your son owed me certain sum of money" etc etc "pay up or you'll regret later" until one time I got a callback saying that they called about the matter of problem I've caused because their telephone already have the number of the caller prompted on a MUCH more modern and digitalised service, yeah, like the one now used on an LED counter of a Pizza Hut. How I was stupid litthe idiot at that time.
This and that happened, Anwar Ibrahim became Malaysia's 10th Prime Minister recently. I really missed the 90's back when I was a kid back then. But him, Anwar Ibrahim went through a painful times back then. Funny how things turn out this way, on times that we really needed someone to sit on that PM chair to handle all the problem arise due to stupidity of people with authority and do not know how to handle their job properly, and also, the pandemic of Covid-19 is still revolving about newly-attached parts of the virus kind of like Transformers to kill pedestrians who do not know how to handle their hygiene and eating random things such as rats, cats and bats just for the sake of tastes and boredom to the max.
One time I was in love with a girl when I was 7/8/9 years old back then, I even searched the name of her father in the Yellow Pages just to get her house telephone number, but do nothing since I do not know how to introduce myself that I'm calling just to get her attention and to disturb her since we are not that close or perhaps she doesn't even admire me as much as I like her. Idk. Maybe my hormones developed much more earlier than girls at that time or maybe it's my instinct as a boy to search for love at such an early age.
But the best thing I could do is, call her house and wait and listen until she picks up, and then, drop the phone and hang up cause I got nothing better to do than just feeling excited of disturbing the monkey I'm in love with, or at least, that's what they called, monkey love at such a non-puberty age. Then at school, I acted like nothing has ever happened. Me?. I'm not a monkey too, as I have feelings. At least, that's the way I express my feelings.
And there's this thing called "Future". I see no pasts if I see no future. I cannot see me if I don't see the other.
