Figuring It Out

I was already halfway to fall asleep when my lovely cellphone made a beep. Expecting it from someone (could be a "goodnight", "sweetdreams", "I miss you", who knows?) I opened it quickly. Guess what, it was a question.

"Kram, gw bego banget ya?" she asked.

"What's wrong?" I asked back.

"Ga tau, gw kayak jalan di tempat. Kayak makan dulu sebelum kondangan. You know what I'm talking about.."

Being a good friend, I then pushed myself hard to figure out what those words meant. I do know "jalan di tempat" -- it's as if you're doing something useless. You are still on the same place you've been trying to go from. But I really couldn't understand the meaning of "makan dulu sebelum kondangan". Indeed it was the first time I heard the funny phrase!

But still I replied to her some good advices I had in mind, hoping that they would do. Lucky me, they did -- or so I thought. You know, asking whether you're stupid or not to someone -- who is already a stupid -- has been clearly a big stupidity. So I should have said YES from the very start.
