Pasar Malam

Sunday evening is always a happy moment for me,
even is raining like today.

Im the pasar malam queen, so they say... haha!
Ofcourse there are many reasons im so into going to night markets,
the place, the atmosphere, and not forgetting the food. (this is indeed the main reason. :P)
I was born in Selayang, a small town i shall say, and it is the place that is meaningful to me.

I could walk into the rain just to buy my favourite corn and popiah for my buddy (if you still remember... :P)
It was the warmth from those familiar aunties and uncles who still produce nice food that touches my heart.
Anyhow, it is a place, i feel i belong to very much even i have moved here for almost 10 years.

Tonight i dare the rain again to venture my another favourite asam laksa, i guess im not alone in this situation, there were more people than i expect waiting for thier delicious bowl of noodles.
However, Bukit Maluri's always remind me the endless promise to Abilene of going pasar malam together. I do miss those times. Hahaha!

Patriotic Spirit

It was Asean Games, football final men category...

and it was Malaysia vs Vietnam.

Indeed a very inconvenient fact i happen to be there.

Yet, that was the night i will always remember,

watching the whole match in 2 different places,

from the cozy coffee shop with a warm, delicious and amazing bowl of Pho Bo ( beef noodles)

and the never ending smoothies,

i was very confuse dont know which to support actually,

or i decided to support the goal... which i always do...

The coffee shop closed quite early and we switched back to our 'original' hotel (we changed 3 hotels in 3 days) to continue watching...

It was a breezing cold night i suppose, and staying inside, hearing people cheering 'co len' and my heart did silently hope for Vietnam to win after knowing they waited for 50 years for that...

It was a pity it was not a success for Vietnam, but i didnt really feel happy for Malaysia, cause it was not a clear win after all.

Anyways, the streets were still full of cheering despite being the silver medalist again, and the atmosphere really made me felt Vietnamese people do love their country. Surely a fact, it is more than Malaysian, they would only maybe cheer for MU for their endless victories over pub but never for their country or it's just me that didn't experience that.

Co len, Vietnam... im sure the 26th Asean Games, you will really win.

After math

Skipping a day from the travel journey,
and talk about today...

I got back my car today,
along with a very heavy feeling.
Maybe this is a temporary feeling, or it might be permenant,
the responsibility of driving safely,
for the sake of my beloveds, other peoples' safety,
it is needed at least for this moment.

This accident will always 'remind' me of the mistakes i did,
It was really a lesson to be remembered and not repeat.
Speeding or cutting lanes seems to become my past, at least i wish for.

I was lucky to be alive and actions need to be made.
I have to believe i could make this change.

Disgusting Travel Mate

Hahaha, im finally back to my home...
the very first time i have been travelling for so long,
many things happened along the way,
but i bet i really became the disgusting traveller.

The reason to this was because i was highly influenced by the other disgusting travelmate.
Details of disgusting could be ommited as it would lead to discomfort reading on...
Anyways, what i could say is, it was more than snoring, 'good timing' burping, forgotten shower days, rewear socks over and over again... haha!

Yet, this is what i find travel quite interesting somewhat,
you could unwind all your routines, your house rules, your manners and get wild, ofcourse not too over... haha!
Here comes opening up your heart, to accept many things that would oppose to your expectation of travel mates.

Maybe is just like watching amazing race, all the ugly truth will appear during the journey, but at least that is the very real of the person i perhaps.
If one can accept that, then surely they will be as closer than ever,
otherwise, that could be the end of the road.

To me, is never the destination, but the experience and how you have grown throughout the journey.

I was very lucky to have such a great travel mate which could overshadowed all the barriers, enlighten laughters to a higher level and let me feel so much how she had grew up from where she belong.

Cam on, travelmate, no matter how disgusting you are, cause im too now! :P

Xmas is coming!!!

Hahaha, really felt im a little kid suddenly,
dancing and smiling with christmas carol jiggling in my ears...

I miss watching Home Alone 1 and 2 during Christmas times,
though none of us in the family really celebrate christmas,
but thanks to this movie, i always have this joy when the festive apporaching.

Yet, to me is just a festive to be happy,and not so much about presents...
And importantly be with family and friends, though i always go travel-about during that time...
Haha, vacation time! Packing, checking, and enjoy what is installed ahead.

Hope everyone who drop by to this blog, have a merry little christmas and happy 2010...
seems to early to say so, but i have to say it in advance. hahaha!

Cold nights.

20 years, but only recent years i know how fragile life could be,
I've spent 10 years thinking why my childhood or my school was different,
yet the outcome was not even important.

Haunting scenes are replaced one by one,
my fear are conquered more and more,
do i become stronger?
i dont know.

Been so many mistakes in life,
so many lessons to be remembered,
a cold night rewinding every single impact scenes,
telling myself,
'that's it... been there, done there...
fight the fear and live on...'

Nothing comes easy.

Semester ends, i began to the routine me,
work work and work to earn more money for travel,
sometimes people wonder why i'm so busy,
is just because nothing comes easy.

Everything comes with a price,
I realise that very young,
maybe it does made me different,
and so does other who realise that.

But working for a dream,
does give a boost to the motivation,
even it is a boring job,
you could also learn from it.

For the upcoming Vietnam trip,
That shall be the fruit for all my hardwork.

:)

Time zoomsss...

Deja vu feeling of back to back birthday celebrations,
signalling time has passed,
assignments wrapping up,
team mates holding hands running to the finish line,
a semester sees its end very soon.

Happiness showered along my tears,
Achievements feel its glow,
Confidence still in pending mode,
Substance is yet to fill in to the empty me.

Still many question with so little answers,
time zooms with me running to an uncertain aim,
this year's path may be slightly different,
i got to pick up more joy and love than ever,
or i shall viewing things in different perspectives does help.

C'est La Vie!

A sign

Everything in this world,
somehow happen with a sign,
no matter is an early or later one.

Yet, even we saw the sign,
we are not able to change the upcoming happenings.
my sixth sense always hint me of something bad,
but most of the time i couldn't make a difference to it.

It was just a sign,
a mental preparation.
i bet many people have this instinct,
just maybe mine was stronger.

Life happens with just a snap,
So fragile...

Contrary, it gave us a opporturnity to grow up and stay strong,
most importantly was to feel love is still around in tragic moments.


Em, take care...

Source of happiness.

We pursue for happiness.
Most of the time, blindly.

Yet, sometimes it just appears in front of your eyes,
Everything composed with a very simple manner.

A lively talk over meals,
An innocent laugh,
A reflective reactions.

Just like that.
