Horizontally Challenged

One late night as we left our usual Kayu teh-tarik outing together with Dik Yan I was looking at the counter where they were cooking fresh fried seafoods and chickens. There was a beautiful array of greenleaves in between the seafood. As I was trying to figure out what those leaves were I felt a sharp pain on my left eye-brow. I was strewn back in mid stride. Oh no! I ran into a cable stay wire for a street lamp. I could see people at a nearby table laughing away. As I looked at the fresh fried counter again the food server was having a whale of a time laughing with his friends. Thirty years ago I was careful to avoid signboards and now I also have to be careful of cable stay wires. Am I horizontally challenged as well? Dik Yan was laughing all throughout the night. Hopefully she didn't suffer a nightmare because of it.
