Happy Birthday, Yang........

28th of November marks an important date in my life. It was the date my loved one was born. Every year I make a point untuk sampaikan ucapan padanya. Only this year, I was lucky enough to celebrate hari penting ini bersamanya since I'm now living in KL. Untuk insan tersayang, Happy Birthday to you. I hope you had a good birthday and may everyday brings you happiness and success.

Semoga you suka dengan pemberian tak seberapa ini. Since I know both of us like perfume, I got this one especially for you.

I sneaked out from the office at 4.45 pm sharp on friday. Started my journey to Bandar Sunway at 6.15 pm. Tapi got stucked at traffic jam for one hour before I managed to reach NPE. My luck was good enough sebab dapat parking dengan mudah dan managed to reach Sunway Pyramid on time. The dinner was at Ole-Ole Bali Restaurant. It was a spontaneous decision. While waiting for orang yang diraikan, cheq dok tengok2 directory kat situ and spotted the name Ole-Ole Bali kat situ. Teringat pulak a post by a fellow blogger in his blog on this place. So I chose this place masa tu jugak.

The specialty drink kat situ, iced barley lime. Very refreshing indeed.

Deep fried Cuming-Cuming or commonly known as fried kalamari.

The main course was Nasi Campur Ole Ole. Quite banyak lauk, so we decided to share this instead. I hope you enjoyed the dinner. Nothing fancy, but as you said, to live in KL we have to go frugal sometimes. Enjoy the rest of the weekend, Yang. I love you......... then, now and forever.

Kopi ais and sagoo pudding at Boraque Kopitiam, Setapak with Man who is also in town for the weekend. Dessert kekdahnya, selepas puas berjalan kat night market di Taman Danau Kota :)

See Ya.........


I've had enough. For the past few weeks, I had been stressful and not getting much rest. I reached home at about 10 pm every single day. Workload had never been reduced. It kept getting more and more. On average, I had 10 meetings per week and personally, I felt they were just a waste of time. Nothing much had been accomplished. Kalau tidak kerana that controlling bitch yang being nosy nak tahu semua benda yang kami buat, I would have not attended any of those meetings.

And it didn't stop there. I had to bring back some work to do at home. Sleeping at 1 or 2 am is becoming a trend now. What a f**ked up life.....!!! Even today, I tried to speed up a bit tapi still balik pukul 9 malam. I submitted my annual leave application about 2 weeks ago. It only got verbally approved less than 4 hours ago. F**king hell....!! And it was just for 2 f**king days. I even had to fight for it. My superior was reluctant to let me go. "What if something goes wrong", he said. "Screw you.....!!"

Finally, I'm free to go........... I'm leaving for home in the morning. It has been a while (bukan lagu Britney "Break The Ice", okay??).... I miss my hometown..... my Dad, my siblings..... (and definitely, my ahem ahem). Hopefully, I'll be okay when I return to KL. And I'm moving to another place soon. God..... there are so many things to do. Ujian Ilahi agaknya.... sabar je lah.

Lara

Di balik rona ceria
Terpaling mendungnya
Bagai pelangi yang pudar warna

Serinya diambil
Segala semua
Terumbang-ambing cari arahku
Bekalan rindu hancur dan berderai
Yang kuidamkan kini terlerai

Serahkan kembali cinta itu
Yang pernah kau sanjungi dahulu
Apalah erti sandiwara ini
Hari-hari yang bakal bersua
Pasti kosong tidak bermakna
Khabarkan sahaja pada semua
Akulah lara

Seperti tak percaya
Luka masih ada
Bila kau hilang rasa derita

Mungkin kekal begitu
Siapalah tahu
Kan aku cari penawar pilu
Bisakah ikan lemas di dalam lautan
Begitulah aku penasaran

Pencarian erti diselangi mimpi
Kerana kasmaran cinta aku menderita
Berikan ku jalan
Biar karma sahaja
Yang akan menentukan

Kafe Kampung Aunty Aini

A friend of mine, KC has been talking about this place since I was still in Kedah. He said that if I ever came to KL, he would take me to this place someday. Even masa bulan posa pun dia dok cakap nak pi makan kat sini lepas raya. Cheq ni of course la, suka makan kan. So I had been waiting for him to take me there. Both of us kadang2 quite adventurous sikit kalau pasal makan. Sanggup travel jejauh tak hengat ni.

Fair enough, it is in Nilai....!! But it was worth the trip. Masakan kampung ibarat kater. I'm a kampung boy, suka la makanan macam ni. Lets look at some of the photos taken :

*from top clockwise, ayam kampung goreng, kerabu pucuk paku dengan kerang, pinggan nasi cheq (hehehe.....) and gulai lemak cili api daging salai. Yang nampak tangan tu ialah KC (wave to the readers, my friend....)

*sambal tumis petai dengan udang galah dan sambal belacan (with ulams). Sebenarnya, cheq dulu tak reti makan sambal belacan. Setelah 30 tahun hidup di muka bumi ni, cheq tak reti makan sambal belacan walaupun di kampung, arwah mak dan kakak selalu prepare sambal (bukan kekwat perasan orang puteh okay??). Hanya setelah "the love of my life" yang ajar cheq makan, cheq rasa macam "hey, not bad lah.... walaupun tak tahan pedas, cheq suka" (gitew...!!). Banyak yang cheq belajar daripada dia. Teringat sangat..........

*tapai pulut with vanilla ice-cream. Kat kampung, whenever my sis buat tapai, I would rush out to the nearest 7-E or supermarket for vanilla ice-cream. Sedap la..... and teringat jugak si Dia yang makan tapai ni di kampung cheq........

*posing sekejap depan cermin lepas makan banyak tadi. KC, if I get fat again, I'll blame you. Huhuhu...... just joking. It was a really nice dinner. Thank you very much. We'll go again someday. Kawan2 Penang, ingat na, if you are up to it, KC and I will take you guys pi sana. Kena buat reservasi dulu sebab ramai orang.

*ni pulak apa yang cheq makan for lunch tadi. Lauk gulai lemak cili api siput sedut, paru (a.k.a. kelempong for oghang utara) goreng and sayur kacang botol. Sedap siput sedut tu...... nostalgia *sigh*
