My son and daughter donating blood at hypermarket KB Mall. What about the father? .... Errr... 'Abah takut jarum!!!' (Daddy's afraid of needles). I truly am.. The sight of the needle puncturing my skin and drawing blood is enough to send shivers down my spine with hazy vision... Good deed sonny / dearie...
I heard about Jodi Piccoult and her writings. This is my first book by her. Just bought it last night and have not gone beyond first page. Hoping to find this an enjoyable reading. The storyline is so promising of heart wrenching episodes and conflicts of emotions.. I know my eye glands will be working overtime, but may be it's good for the eyes.... I know I wont be following P.Ramlee's way as in Ibu Mertua ku..
My wife almost pengsan looking at this serving. Beiing prim and proper in attitude everything need be presented in a proper way and this is against everything in her. Serving your husband dinner in a kuali is the height of barbarism ettique to her.
However this is the way they serve from this shop named 'KUALI'. I should have understood its literal message and not try to interpret 'Kuali' to mean the mastery of food preparation. For me it doesnt mean that much and my eppitite was not diminished.. May be that's the difference in the thinking polarity between man and woman..
Wednesday 25/11/09 I had a meeting in KL. Since 27th is Aidil Adha and I had already applied for leave on 26th, I decided to change my travel plan. Instead of going back via Terengganu (Jerangau rd closed) on wed eve, we decided to start off on 24th via KL and EW Highway (Kuala Krai - KB road closed at Sg Durian). On the way we planned to join Nana, alone from UTP Perak.
So after my meeting we were ready to move. Remembering my trusted technician at Bhg Jalan JKR Kelantan I gave him a call asking about the flood scenario. He said all major roads are now opened. So another change in plan; we finally decided to go via Spg Pulai - Lojing - GM - KB and asked Nana to meet us at our favorite strawberry shop, Cameron Hglds.
It was 6.30pm when we moved off. By then the weather started to turn misty and the road was wet. It was downhill then after Blue Valley. At some stretches the clouds are ween crossing our path and the road's visibility were severely impaired. I took the lead, frequently engaging the low gear; even 2nd and 1st for effective engine braking, always conscious Nana was behind in Ummi's Wira, hoping she doesnt get to lose patience and speed in this treacherous condition.
When we arrived at GM's surau at 8.10pm I was very relieved. After solat, we seek our favorite Restoran Kamal with it's delicious Tom Yam.. but it was closed for Eid. So, 'No rattan, root also can' says our elders. We ate at a small outlet. The food was not bad but the service was much to be desired.
My wife; In took the wheel after that... joining the procession of steady Balik Kampung Commuters.. Some impatient driverd leapfrogged the procession but we just maintain the normal pace. That's what I thought anyway because I was for most part in the dreamland. I took back the wheel near Kuala Krai. It was 1.30am in the morning when we finally arrived at Kota Bharu. However I had some important assignment to do and keep punching at my laptop. Sleep only came at 4.45am in the morning, after I had emailed the document. Next day we fasted the Sunnat Arafah. I slept much of the day but my wife In was already busy cleaning the flood infected house with the children and tidying up the house for Eid..
Once in an English class, a Kelantanese student arrived late and in disheveled condition. The teacher asked him what happened. Below was his answer. If you think pidgin english is bad, wait please reserve your judgement until after you read this;
"Teacher, brake no eat, tayar no flower. When I konar; Cak Degung!!"
It's been a long time since I'd been here; too long in fact. Those days the Subang Parade was proudly proclaimed as the longest shopping mall in S.E.Asia. Today after the last presentation which lasted at 1.30pm; yes the Solat Jumaat time, and after lunch and some rest, I have some times to kill before my wife and daughter join me at the Hotel.
So, I said to myself, why not take the walk to The Parade; some 2-3km away and pick up where I left. So here I am after 20-25min walk. Since I did not bring my better camera my e90 camphone should be just fine. No rattan, root also can said some wise old man of yester years. May be this wise one did not forsee that the young modern generation has difficulty recognising how a rattan looks like. They would recognise joystick straightaway. Maybe this wise line should be rephrase to read "No joystick, mouse also can"....
Anyway this Subang Parade seemed so unlike the one in my memory. Has it underwent some massive revamping, or, mayhaps my memory have dwindled somewhat. The outlets inside are standard; MacDonalds, Nando's, Poh Kong, Bata, MPH, Manhattan Fish Market and the rest. The big M sign is beckoning me in, but I'll wait a while for In and Izzah... Maybe a Nando's would be just great...
