2nd day – KL scream scream

it’s 28th march today
after fajr prayer we made our way to terracotta café for our buffet breakfast
this morning i had orange juice, omelette, yoghurt, warm croissant with butter
can’t recall what the rest had

but surely coffee, porridge and nasi lemak are one of many they had
after all the giggles, story sharing and day’s planning we headed back to the apartment
made coffee for hub who had already glued himself in front of the day’s paper and tv in the living room
then i joined the gals in the masterbedroom…….to sambong titon. heh
with curtains drawn and the room’s aircon nice and cool
me found my placing, right smack in the centre of the 2 hippos. heh.
awoken 2 hours later by a disgruntled hoarse voice belonging to the youngest hippo
apparently i’ve stealed her place causing her to be pinned right at the edge of the bed
padan muka…bluerrkk!!

as usual didod was the last to get off the bed
boleh bangun and tido balek menunggu si didod nak siap tao!
took a cab to jusco at taman maluri
a mere 15 minutes ride from our apartment
didod surprise us with gifts – a facial brush by bodyshop
yeh yeh!! later tonight didod nak buat facial untuk akak-akak dier….
Dod nak demo sekali technique using the facial brush..yer lah tu
at jusco i bought for myself 2 pairs of linen pants and 2 tops

met hafiz and his 2 polytechnic friends
remember hafiz?

the boy from the student exchange programme which i hosted last december?
yes, i still keep in touch with 20yr old hafiz
lunchtime – NANDOS
food – so so jer lah
i thought nandos tasted better before
i was disappointed
kenny rogers is better
after lunch hafiz invited us to his place in kampong pandan
“mak jemput datang rumah” – he said
well, owang dah jemput
it’s impolite to turn down a person’s offer especially when done in good faith
dod who wanted to head back to our apartment to continue her rest…..or slumber,
changed her mind halfway (also because hafiz said there’s bound to be a nasty traffic jam in town at this hour) at the taxi stand and so we all headed to hafiz’s place

hafiz’s mum warmly welcomed us to her house graciously
so did her daughter, hafiz’s elder sister who is in her final year of getting a law degree
hafiz’s mom insisted we have lunch at the house
in fact she had already cooked for us!!!
at this time, i was already holding belly to find the extra space that could fit it another lunch
kalo tak makan tak sedap pulak…..biler dah makan naik sedap pulak!!
Seafood tomyam, sambal tumis ikan bilis, telur asin
nothing beats home cooked food no matter how simple the dishes are, don’t you agree?
we stayed for about hour, say our goodbyes and went back to the apartment in a cab

i managed jama’ taqdim
here comes the funny part……
it was almost asar, i had done my jama’ taqdim
along was settling her telekung and spreading out sajdah
“eh sempat ker? sempat ker?” she asked
“sempatlah sempatlah…kalo ko tak cakap banyak sempatlah!!’ she was informed by dod and me
so she got into position, composed herself and we saw her lifting her arms in takbiratul ihram
then……..jeng jeng jeng
few seconds into her do’a iftitah agaknyer……the sound of azan from the nearby as-syakirin mosque could be clearly heard
‘asr came
then without warning she let her arms loose and turned
“kira aku bikin jama’ takhir ler ni yek”
chet!

soon, a train ride and few train stops later we found ourselves in petaling street
didod bought for cik suhaya an ‘original pirated’ louis vuitton bag
and oh, cik suhaya is dod’s mother….original tao, not pirated. he heh.
along and i didn’t get anything
didn’t see anything we liked
hub borong jersey, mostly man u jerseys lah – 1 for along’s bro-in-law and 1 for pak jebon
and oh, pak jebon is dod’s father……..not genuine, pirated name lahh….
after that we girls called it quits…tak larat nak pusing lamer lamer
panas!!
we gals made our way to mac donalds and had our dinner there while waiting for the men to return with their findngs of the day
walking back to the lrt station was an agony
penat hotay jalan lamer lamer…kaki sakit
at the station dod made me posed infront of a giant kfc ad on the station’s wall
enough said

back at the apartment, after washing up and namaz,
we had our own little girlies mini facial session
as promised didod showed her sistas how to use the facial brush
“pusing pusing gini jer….takyah tekan kuat kuat. the word here is gentle hotay!”
then dod applied face lifting cream on me
the only sense of lifting i felt was my face was warm
but i doubted it lifted even a quarter nano-mm from my face…chet!
but i thoroughly enjoyed the facial part and shoulder massage…best lah dod!
NAK LAGI!!
hafiz and frens made their way home at midnight
i ended up sleeping on the couch with hub, his eyes glued to the tv
fact – i hate sleeping alone in hotels, not if i have a choice bay-beh
i’m done with sleeping alone in hotels – those business trips where sleeping alone for 5 nights in a row will simply send me to my lowest low in the self-esteem industry…
boring tao!
