The History of Punggek

Many has asked me this question "What is Punggek?" and to be honest, I never gave it a lot of thought.
But i remember my mother told me few years earlier that when I was small, I used to say the word a lot with my sister but the meaning it represent was not a good one. In the olden days, it was a taboo for kids to say bad words and we were brought up in a world where no bad word existed except the word "bad". We weren't even introduced to the word "beat" although we always got a good beating from our parents almost everday. So my mother told me that me and my sister created the word Punggek to fill the 'void' in our already limited volcabularly.

"I punggek you afterward!" is one of the example that would come out from our mean mouths. So the original meaning of Punggek is "beat". However, concerned with our creativity, my mother introduced us the the word "beat" and the word faded as suddenly as we invented it when.
But when i received a 'revelation' during SALT 1 in Brothers Bungalow to rejuvenate the word. Like in Genesis, when God breathed into Adams nostrils the breath of life, the word Punggek started to wake up in a totally different environment. Full of love, the word took another meaning in its second life.

Compassion.

Juggling my emotions...

Aku pening dgn hati tok eh. Ku terikat. Aku terikat.. Dah ada gerek but then, it doesn't seems like I have one.

Perasaan tok pun sik dpt mk di ctrl... Shit! Bastard! Why am I loving someone else?

Because of the distance atau nang aku tok nang utk org lain... Teringat ttg "Don't marry the one you can live with, Marry the one you CAN'T live without..."

God! Is this a punishment for me?

I'm loving one while tied to another...

Sakit la... Sakit lalu... My cross to carry is too painful.

Cut my heart out... Tear it apart. But please leave my feelings alone.

Distance makes one's heart grow fonder? No.

From the words of Finian's Rainbow "When I'm not near the girl I love,
I love the girl I'm near."

This is not wrong... THIS IS PRACTICAL!

So what I'm trying to know is, why am I loving someone else?
