Hari Raya Pertama (2011)

Raya tahun ni boleh lah wa sifatkan sebagai terbaik and meriah pasal kali ni, wa tengok ramai dah kuar rumah and bersalam-salaman..macam tahun2 sebelum ni macam suram je..org pon tak ramai kuar rumah untuk salam2.....muram je rasa....kalau x percaya meriah ke tak..jom tengok gambar kat bawah...

Jam 7 pagi, orang ramai mula kuar dari rumah memasing untuk bermaaf2an..cuaca agak ok, cerah..walaupon ade hujan renyai sikit2...kebiasaannya hari raya pertama slalunya hujan renyai2...bagus lah tanda rahmat..

Bila tok sidang datang rumah, dia ajaknya orang2 kampung untuk bergambar..yang kat atas ni baru sebahagian je..ade lagi yang lain...

Ada jugak terfikir, sampai bila kah tradisi bermaaf-maafan pepagi mcm ni akan terus kekal di Melaka...Kat negeri lain takde pon tradisi macam ni...kat tempat lain, diorang tunggu orang dtg rumah untuk mintaak mahap tp kt sini tak mcm tuh...tengah2 jalan pon boleh jadi jugak...

Pure Bar

Tajuk entry ni sebenarnya nama sebuah bar/pub/disko..ntah wa pon tak tau nak classified kan sebagai apa tapu yang pasti tempat org berhibur sambil minum arak...Sepanjang hidup wa, tak pernah wa gi tempat2 macam ni...serious..tapi semalam member dak Daouse ajak gi tempat ni plak...wa yang menumpang ni takleh kata apa la...(walaupon Daouse dah gitau yang wa ni bukan kaki disko/mabuk)... Sumpah wa cakap yang wa memang panas hati je semalam..wa masuk pon dengan berat hati..Memang prinsip wa takkan jejakkan kaki kat tempat2 macam ni..tapi semalam menjadi sejarah dalam hidup wa... Boleh jadi inilah yang pertama dan terakhir wa jejakkan kaki kat tempat setan ni..(Sekarang ni pon, kalau ingat2 kan balik..memang panas je hati)...

pssstttt !! malu betol tengok melayu gi joget2 kat disco, ada yang jadik bonzer kat tempat2 macam ni..bartender pon tak kurang jugak...memang memalukan...

Lamb Mandy aka Kambing mandi..ahaha

Memang kenyang sangat2 kalau makan kat Qasar Saba Restaurant...nasik dia bapak banyak giler....sedap lak tu...memang xsama ngn nasik briyani yg dijual orang2 melayu @kedai2 mamak...nasik dia satu-satu, tak melekat2...panjang2 dan kurus2....ahha boley bayangkan???

Restaurant ni dari luar nampak simple je...xnampak mcm exclusive macam kat Al Rawsha, mungkin sebab owner dia ni orang melayu jadi decoration dia pon biasa2 jer....tapi kalau compare dengan Al Rawsha, harga makanan kat sini agak murah...Tadi, wa cuma makan secara ala-carte...ada set A dan set B...yang membezakan set A dan set B cuma bagi set A, hidangan utama dia adalah Chicken Mandy..harga nya cuma RM 25....dan set B, Lamb Mandy, harganya RM28....Wa amek set B...setiap set dihidangkan dengan Nasi Mandy (banyak nasik dia..leh makan untuk dua orang), samosa (ada dua jenis dihidangkan, 1 berintikan cheese dan satu lagi berintikan daging), sayur yang dicampurkan dengan yogurt masam (yang ni xbape selera nak makan), minuman sejuk Ribena dan kurma...Harga dia ok sangat pasal apa, kalau kita order berasingan, katakan ler nak order Lamb Mandy sahaja tanpa air, harganya adalah RM20...so bek amek set...jimat pon jimat...

Ok, mari nikmati gambar2 makanan...sorry kualiti gambar xbape elok pasal guna handphone...

Chicken Mandy, harganya RM 25 dalam set A...

Ribena...ini termasuk dalam Set ala-carte....

Boleh la contact/email kat restaurant ni kalau ade apa2 pertanyaan...

Si Kepang makan chicken grill..malangnya makanan dia sampai lambat...dah masuk waktu berbuka pon masih x dapat lagik...ahha...sian ko kepang...

Takde sebutir nasi pon yang tinggal walaupun mula2 masa belum makan, hampir separuh pinggan besar ni penuh nasih....

Secara keseluruhannya, wa rasa berbaloi sekali kalau makan kat sini sekali sekala...sekali sekala aje okay, kalau dua kali dua kala..memang kopak la melainkan la kau org ni orang kaya...hari-hari makan kat sini pon xper...wa belum pergi lagi kat AL Rawsha tu tapi kalau compare harga makanan kat dua2 tempat ni, kat Qasar Saba lagi murah...pesanan : agak2 kalau rasa tangki tu kecik tapi teringin nak makan nasi mandy ni, korang share je la ngan org yg dok kat sebelah ko tu pasal apa, nasi dia memang banyak....tapi bagi wa, habis jugak satu pinggan tu....xde sebutir pon tinggal..betapa sedapnya..hehehe...

Bersyukurlah menjadi warga Malaysia

According to former Singapore Miss World Ris Low, Singaporeans are always hustling and bustling. Life is very stressful, very ‘kiasu’ (overly-competitive) and very ‘kiasi’ (afraid of doing something wrong).

FOR someone who can’t wink, former Singapore Miss World contestant Ris Low sure can think.

Or that was the impression I got from the Singaporean who was named as one of Asia’s 25 most influential people by CNN’s affiliate website CNNGo in 2009.

The 21-year-old beauty queen sure had a lot of things on her mind when I interviewed her to get the low-down on her nation.

Low: Coined Singapore’s catchphrase of the year 2009 – Boomz!

Singapore, a five-hour drive from Subang Jaya, has been my second home as I’ve got in-laws living there.

I enjoy my weekend stay in the island republic. But each time I’m in the Little Red Dot (as former Indonesian President B.J. Habibie described Singapore) I wondered what makes our southern neighbours tick.

Even though I’m on holiday, there’s always something stressful about the island republic. Is it because its parking space is narrower than in Malaysia or drivers love to honk when you’re a tad slow to respond to a green light or the “ticking” ERP (Electronic Road Pricing, an electronic system of road pricing based on a pay-as-you-use principle)?

And, I thought, who was better to explain Singapore than Miss Singapore World 2009. Low, according to CNNGo, is “singularly responsible for giving Singapore its catchphrase of the year (2009) – the infamous ‘Boomz!’”.

Life as a Singaporean, said Low, was “very competitive.”

“We are always hustling and bustling. Very fast pace. Very kiasu (overly-competitive). Very kiasi (afraid of doing something wrong). Very stressful,” noted the beauty queen in an interview at a McDonald’s in a suburb of Singapore.

An example of kiasu behaviour, according to Low, is Singaporeans will queue up when they see a long line.

“They don’t know what they are queuing up for but they assume if there is a queue there is something good at the end of the line,” she explained.

Low’s definition of kiasi is “everybody covering their own backside”.

“For example, Singaporeans like to talk about politics among themselves but they will not voice it out at another level (publicly),” she related.

Curious to go beyond the clichéd description of Singaporeans being kiasu and kiasi, I asked “What’s the big advantage of being a Singaporean?”

“Our passport is very good that we don’t need visa (to visit another country),” Low said, with a look that could be described as “Boomz”.

The disadvantage of being a Singaporean, according to Low, is “you can’t afford to have a past”.

“Once you have a past, Singaporeans are very unforgiving,” she revealed.

“My case is the perfect example,” she said, referring to her conviction for credit card fraud. Eventually, about two months after being crowned Miss Singapore World 2009, she had to give up her title.

Low continued: “I hope Singaporeans will stand up for their own people. Almost every beauty queen in Singapore has been put down by these cowards who sit behind their computer and bully us by saying we are ugly.

“It is very sad that they are stepping on us to make themselves taller,” she added.

“What’s a distinctive Singaporean character?” I asked.

“When you need help, everybody just stares at you,” she noted.

“For example, I witnessed an accident and I gave first aid to the victim. Then I asked the uncles and aunties who were watching to call 911 but nobody came forward to help. All they were interested in was to take down the car’s plate number.”

It was the same when a man pulled down Low’s strapless dress while she was in a taxi queue last year.

“I asked for help. But nobody helped me and the man managed to run away. I felt like a fool. I felt like digging a hole and burying myself so that I would just die,” she revealed.

“Singaporeans are too caught up in their own world – always vying for money and status. They have lost their heart.”

But Low also admitted there are Singaporeans who did not appreciate help.

“I once tried to help an old lady cross the street. I offered to carry her shopping bags because they looked heavy and she looked frail,” she related. “But she scolded me because she thought I wanted to steal her shopping bags. It was so embarrassing.”

Turning philosophical, Low noted: “In Singapore nobody has pure intention. Everybody has an agenda. So I understand why the older you are, the more you lose hope in life.”

At the end of the interview, the beauty queen attempted to wink and failed. Smiling, she apologised, saying “my facial muscles are not trained to wink”.
