Chinese new year dinner - RM1000++
Current mood: 
amused
last tuesday night, i went for the malaysian night musical rehearsal. I don't have any significant role, just a nameless character A, whose job is to dance, and sing with everyone else. After practising, me, a few chinese peeps, and some other fellow malaysian went to Bangkok Cafe. A cafe, which ambiance is rather classy for the chinatown of newcastle. It was suppose to be a get together dinner for the chinese new year night.
I had tomyam, and nasi putih, and nasi goreng. Didn't order any drink, other than tap water. Yup, the tap water in the UK is regarded as clean and safe to be drank. The tomyam was tasty, so do the other food. However, nothing beats the real Malaysian food. Mabel, a burmese girl was happy too (i can see how much that girl misses her burmese tomyam). Everyone was happy as well. It's been quite a while, since everyone eat some asian cuisine. We laugh, and talk, and and cam-whore, and laugh, and eat, and laugh, and flirt, and oh yeah. Have i mentioned that we laugh? It was a good night.
Then, came the bill. It was a true terror for me. The total price 145quids. yup. seratus empat puluh lima pound. Which in any malay dialect is known as Ringgit Malaysia Seribu Lima Belas (1015). for 14 people.. Huiks, terkejut beruk gak la. I know, in the UK the price is considered as acceptable, tapi seriously, that made me miss home even more. With seribu ringgit, i can easily treat around 55 people at mamaks, 30 ppl at some kedai nasi campur, and 20 people at a posh restaurant. hu hu hu...
Saya ada exam...
Bila ada exam, saya kena study,
Bila kena study, saya jadi tension.
Bila dah Tension, malas mula datang,
Bila dah malas, saya tulis blog,
Lepas tulis blog, saya jadi homesick,
Bila dah homesick, saya call rumah.
Lepas call rumah, saya study lagi,
Bila study lagi saya stress balik...
Kalau dah stress balik, terus saya tidur. he he he
Salam,
Aritu aku pergi Spain
ngan kekawan.
Seminggu. Best jugak laa. Melawat banyak tempat (girona, barcelona, granada, cordoba, malaga), and jumpa byk travellers lain. ada dari jepun, USA, German, France, etc. Best giler. Pengalaman baru la katakan...
Kitorang tinggal kat Hostel jer.Kat Spain orang tak tahu cakap english sangat, so agak susah untuk communicate.Tapi I
think, itu yg buat kitorang punya holidays jadi lagi best.Ada
halangan/cabaran yg mesti dihadapi. Lagi satu, ada sesetengah tempat,susah nak cari makanan halal. So kitorang makan maggi jer. Tak pun, cari
makanan vegetarian. Tak der beli byk souvenir utk bawa balik Malaysia,
sebab bag dah penuh. Takut tak lepas naik flight, and takut barang2 tu
pecah.Sorry. :)
Tempat2 best yang kitorang pergi, banyak la.Barcelona ada sagrada de
familia, park guell (tempat America’s
next top model final runway cycle 7), dll. Then Alhambra
pun pergi gak, kat Granada.Cordoba plak
ada mezquita (masjid yg dah di jadikan church), then finally kitorang melawat Malaga... Best, byk
lampu and ice-cream parlor. Sedaaaappp... ha ha.
Kat Spain,
byk orang tak kenal Malaysia.
Selalunya, kalau diorang jumpa aku..
Diorang akan cakap konichiwa, tak pun Ni Hao. Tak pun, diorang akan teka yang
kitorang datang dari Indon, kalau tak jepun,Korea, or hong kong. Nak explain yg
kitorang ni rakyat Malaysia,
tak boleh. Sebab biasa la, diorang tak cakap BI. Macam ayam dan itik pula
jadinya haritu. He he he.
Oh ya, Kat Spain
ada banyak street performers. Macam2 jenis performers ada, dari yang main alat
muzik, hingga yg menyamar jadi patung. Cari makan katanya..Ada juga yang minta sedekah jer. Tapi yang
tak best nyer, kat Barcelona
peminta sedekah byk orang Islam. Kesian juga tengok.
Sebenarnya ada byk lagi cerita menarik. Tapi panjang sangat la nak tulis semua. Ada
=).. Nanti la, bila saya dah balik
oh ya, kat bawah ni link utk tgk gambar.

Tadi ada majlis christmas Malaysian Society. Ok la, semua orang gets along pretty well.
Iqbal siap pkai his Santa-ish gear, which i find very amazing. Tapi biasa la, aku pakai baju boring jer, jumper coklat, t-shirt hijau pokok pisang, and a jacket.
Tak semangat sangat sebenarnya.
Pergi sana, bukan sebab apa pun. Just nk tukar2 hadiah, sambil makan bebanyak.
He he he, biasala, food is my middle name kan.. *wink wink*
Tapi i was actually anticipating my first Xmas present. And for that, apa yg aku bagi was a stuff toy, letak dalam christmas paper bag jer. Malas nk balut. The price is not high, tapi i think it was pretty nice. He he he. Sebelum pergi, senyap2 ada gak la
berdoa so that i'd get something yg as nice as what i give, if not better.
Tapi bila dah dapat hadiah, hurm. Agak disapointed at first. Sebab it's soo petite and small. Dapat sebijik patung itik, jenis glow in the dark. The girls said that it was cute (not sure la kalau they were being sarcastic), tapi Haziq said "well, at least it glows". :P Then the pemberi hadiah dtg la, bagi tahu yg she chose the hadiah. And obviously i'd say thanks, courtesy kan...
Bila dah balik, aku letak la itik tu atas meja. And tutup lampu. Cute pulak rasanya. HE he he. Takper la, i;m happy with it now. Dah belajar, yg it's not the present yg paling important. What counts is the thought! Well, at least we'll be having a bathtub next year. Boleh la i put my ducky in the bathtub. Menemani diriku mandi. Ha ha.
N.B. - No offense ok. This is just my honest feeling, And i still wanna say thanks for the lovely duck. At least i haf a roommate now. :)
Well, sudah banyak yang saya belajar pasal rambut:
a)UK people associate heartburn during pregnancy with hairier baby.
b)Men who dyed their hair hazel are sooo 'GAY' (pretty observable, and i no longer fancy dying my hair ahaha).
c)Kita digalakkan utk potong memana rambut "yg patut" pada hari jumaat (wink)
d)tweezer is used to 'pluck' ur nasal hair out! Ouch (well, ingatkan guna utk cabut kening jer)

This is what i would probably respond if my ex says things like...
Why did I let you go?
= U tell me..
Can I win you back?
= not a chance baby.
I still love you.
= me too,but it's just too late to realize that. Better luck next time!
When did we last talk?
= I can't recall. Is it important anyway?
Can you go with me?
= friendly outing,yes. More than that,no.
We're you able to move on when I'm not?
= I'll manage.
I regret losing you. =
serve you right.
I cannot keep my promise to you.
= then don't make any.
My parents do not like you.
= It's ok then.
My friends says we don't look good together.
= that's classic darling. Bye!(sambil slamming the phone off)
It's been like, what, 2 week since i last updated my blog? now I'm in the UK, newcastle to be exact. Life here is kinda okay. The mat salehs are very friendly, and most importantly,they respect. My flatmates,are all cool. They're definitely considerate,although I'm the only Asian/Muslim in the flat. at first,i was kinda skeptical,whether or not,I'll fit in just fine. But to my dismay,i actually do. I've been working hard, to put aside my differences with them, and trying to not be judgmental and ethnocentric, and it helps a whole lot. I've joined them playing poker (which,i actually knew nothing about, and is slowly picking up the game), but of course, i know where my limit lies. I'm not betting any money, and the most that they've bet is like, 1 pound.. So as far as my limited knowledge is concern,as long as i don't attain/lose any money in the game, it should not be sinful. Other than that,I've been invited to some party,and I'm considering of joining them as well. But that depends on my mood later,i don't want others to make a big fuss out of it.For some,this is a big deal,but for me,it's a good start to socialize. As Muslim, i know my limit,and I'm trying hard to put up some distance as not to cross the religious border. Hopefully,this ain't no culture shock,he he.
Nampaknya, bulan ramadhan dah bermula. Kepada umat Islam, mereka akan menahan diri dari makan, minum dan yang sewaktu dengannya. Memperhebatkan amalan diri, bagi mengutip keredhaan-Nya. Bulan ni, akan bermula lah orang memenuhi masjid dan surau, akan ramailah perempuan-perempuan yang mula berjinak-jinak dalam fesyen bertudung, akan gembiralah anak-anak kecil bermain polis sentry semasa bapa-bapa bersolat tarawikh. Itulah antara fenomena yang acapkali di perhatikan di bulan puasa.
Ramai akan berkata, "eh, puasa is a good opportunity for me to quit smoking, to menjauhkan kemungkaran, to segala-galanya lagi lah". Bagus-bagus, tindakan dan keazaman yang wajar di puji. Salute & tabik springgggggg! (sfx iklan adibah noor).
Tapi yang tak berapa nak best nyer, bulan ni akan dijangkakan statistik penyakit gastrik akan bertambah, penyakit hati akan berkurang sedikit, tapi penyakit membazir akan mencecah indeks yang melampau. Puasa jer, mulalah, pergi bazaar ramadhan, beli segala macam jenis juadah (bercakap ikut pengalaman sendiri ni.. he he). Kuih pelita la, murtabak laa, roti john la, popia basah la, air tebu, soya, jagung, bubur yang bewarna-warni, nasi campur, semuanya cukup (gulp, laparnyerrrr).
Rasa-rasa, si pembeli punya kuantiti barangan, mengalahkan kuantiti barangan yang dimiliki oleh Sang peniaga, macam boleh bukak gerai sendiri pulak. Dan bila seminggu nak raya, orang akan membanjiri gedung-gedung baju, dan bagi yang mampu, akan berkira-kira duit simpanan untuk memperbaharui segala jenis perabot rumah. Yer la, raya setahun sekali, tapi hutang credit card yang ditanggung, mahu sepuluh tahun baru terbayar beb...
Tapi yang best nyer, bulan puasa menggalakkan perkembangan sihat di dalam keluarga. Ibu-ibu dan bapa-bapa akan dapat meluangkan masa untuk berbuka dengan anak-anak di rumah... Drum roll ("utamakan keluarga, semakin hari semakin sayang" - sambil dato' Sharizat memberi thumbs Up!).
P/s- walaubagaimanapun, hopefully bukan di bulan puasa jer kita baru nak jadi baik. Bulan januari, febuari dan seterusnya kena la kita berterusan memperbaiki diri. Nasihat ini, di dedikasikan untuk diriku sendiri! :P
