Highlights of my holiday in Malaysia

It has been awhile since I've arrived back in Sydney...things hasnt been great...and not near good at all...i have had really supportive friends to help me face all these problems and i thank you all...

This blog needs an update, yea? well, yea, sorry coz in Malaysia i only had dial up and rarely go to CCs....and with what im facing since arrival, updating blog juz aint the thing i feel like doing...

anyhuu...today i feel like updating this...and here's my recap of a month-long holiday in Malaysia....

note: list not in particular order

1. Makan

How can going back to Malaysia not be related to makan,makan, and more makan??

in sydney, well, i eat kinda like, twice a day...but in malaysia...damn...pagi makan, before lunch makan, lunch makan, ptg makan...malam makan...jumpa kawan makan...perghhhh....


Man Utd and food, well, they go along well...2 hours lepak at mamak...how many can you eat?hehehe...i ate a lot...



3 man utd fans

2. Road crossing

I conclude that my road-crossing skills have deteriorated SIGNIFICANTLY.

I live approximately across one of JB's most well known landmark - Holiday Plaza (the 'pirate ship')...and since small i have been crossing the big road to go to that place...i used to be able to even stop cars to cross the road...now...sigh...malu orang JB je...




holiday plaza,very near my house


3. I am not fit to drive in JB or any major cities in Malaysia

Driving only 2 months over the past 2 years since i've got my P license is not a great achievement...and does not constitute enough skill/experience to drive on the roads of JB...damn...my bro insists he drives all the time coz he thinks im gonna crash the car...well, fair enough, im only back for 1 month...not risking an accident...not worth it...

4. I like playing soccer...

...with kids =)

sureeee, i am no soccer player...sureeee, i am nowhere in terms of skills, but heyyy...lawan budak2 form 3 and skolah rendah...alaaa....kacang je =P

Danny and Jerry..the defensive midfielder and striker..



padang dekat dgn umah...damn syok...


almost every afternoon where i have the opportunity, i would go to the field not far from home to play with my twin lil bros and their friends....my bro jeffery and mate firdaus joins in sometimes too...

5. the fulfillment of a 4-year dream

for 4 years...i've kept a dream that one day i would buy the 'Murtabak Jumbo' i saw in this one shop 4 years ago...

rewind back to that time, me and firdhous were eating at Larkin Perdana, and this one stall specializes at murtabak only...hohoho...i ate there and then saw this murtabak jumbo on the menu...damn syok...and i thought, xpe, lain kali beli....4 years...FINALLY bought it...hoho...worth the wait, man...thick like 2 murtabak...length of 2 murtabaks...multiple layers of flour,beef+stuff,egg...


murtabak jumbo...nampak kecik sbb tangan besar...tp mmg besar woo murtabak..



6. a pleasant Chinese New Year

it was great i guess...saw my relatives after 1 year...the uncles and aunties sing karaoke at night....seeing a-ma (what i call my grandma on dad's side) happy...then going back to kampung (mom's side) which is juz about 10km away...and since its school holidays...met up with my relatives from mom's side too...lepak at nenek's house too...and FINALLY took picture of my kampung (mom's side)...


The whole family + A-Ma...wana ckp dia nmpk mcm bdk indo..sape suro bnyk sgt ngk citer indo?




Papa karaoke-ing...relatives around...

ke arah laut pulak...about 3-4km to sea...



7. fell sick for a week

why? is it coz of the weather??? or maybe its me eating continuously??i have no idea but my tonsil was swollen till i swear i dont have to reach deep into my mouth to feel it...sigh...

and when i see the doctor...first thing he said...sunny...haa...abit obese eh?....WTFBBQ!@! my tonsil is swollen hell and im having high fever...nice diagnosis doc...

8. the stock market is bullish

malaysia's stock market hit record high...blabla...who cares =P

9. home is streamyx-enabled, finally! =)

i got my house PC fixed, and installed streamyx...yeay!! tho it took almost 3 weeks after i left malaysia to finally work (due to technical glitch)...rite now, my family is 'connected' =)

10. ohhh...kenapa gadis-gadis kat malaysia suma cun2/cute2??

has anything happened in the past year in malaysia??or have i simply been ignorant? i definitely noticed so many beautiful/hot/cute girls during my 1 month stay in JB...fewwitttt =P (no pics here *wink*)


So thats it..a lil bit of sumthin about my trip back to malaysia...

I must say...after 3 years here overseas...i have found what i have lost quite some time ago...love for my country...

and i never missed my family more than now...
