Melalak, Melalak Lagi

This time around, the attendees were Geng KY members, minus Eijam who was busy preparing for his exams and Mitch who was out of town if I'm not mistaken.

We started the night with a dinner at our favourite hangout spot, no other than Kedai Kak Yah (I think we should renamed the group as Geng KKY). I, however, had to give it a pass due to some technicalities and traffic jam at the flyover of Jalan Pandan Indah and MMR2 interchange.

And I don't know why my mood wasn't there too, whereby I only song 3 songs - my compulsory opening number, J. Mizan's Hari Ini Dan Semalam, my second attempts of Afghan's Padamu Ku Bersujud and Kaer's Izin Ku Pergi.

Mus did complain about my anti-social behaviour on the night, whereby I was busy surfing on iPhoneKu than paying attention of my friends' colourful renditions of Malaysian as well as international hits. Sorry Mus and I'm really, really sorry guys. It won't happen happen. Insya Allah.

But the hightlight of the night is when Mus sang his first ever Malay song in any of the karaoke outings that I've joined him all this while.

Nak lagi, Mus!!!

After melalak, we stopped by at Q Bistro for a light supper before we call it a day. Once again, I'm really sorry guys for sleeping at the table while all of you were catching out with each other. I'm sure all of you saw fir yourselves how struggling I was to keep my eyes open. Once again, MAAF banyak-banyk.

Melalak Lagi

Puas dapat berkaraoke dengan Geng McDonalds. Hari ini adalah cuti ganti kerana Hari Natal jatuh pada hari ahad.

Lama betul tak jumpa Radzi. Sekarang ini dia adalah pengurus di outlet Kota Kemuning. Masa aku mula kenal dia dahulu, dia cuma 2nd Assistant Manager di outlet KL Sentral.

Encik OC seperti biasa mendendangkan lagu-lagu bernada tinggi. Cuma hari ini, semput sikit. Bak kata Shikin, penambahan saiz badan! Hehehe.

Gembira juga dapat berjumpa dengan Ziana Din, yang sempat hadir sesudah tamat waktu kerjanya. Esok adalah hari terakhir beliau di Parkson, sebelum kembali semula ke industri restoran makanan segera.

Jangan serik untuk ajak aku lagi. Memang best berkaraoke dengan kamu, kamu, kamu, kamu, kamu dan kamu :)

Mencintaimu

Lets Melalak Guys!

A karaoke session with officemates at Redbox Ria, Sogo. Best! Jom, lets do it again.

Antara Melalak dan Perayaan

Salah satu kesukaan aku ialah melalak. Pantang sahaja orang ajak, insya-Allah, tepat masanya aku akan tercegat di muka masuk pusat karaoke tersebut.

Malam tadi, Kak Liza mengundang aku untuk turut serta meraikan hari ulang tahun kelahiran salah seorang rakan sepejabat kami iaitu Jun. Kepada yang rajin menjengah akaun facebook aku, mungkin wajah Jun ini akan familiar, kerana dia adah ex-Mancunian dan turut serta menganjurkan program Cuti-Cuti ke Langkawi pada bulan lepas.

Sesi karaoke kami bermula sedari jam 8 malam santak 10 malam. Sambil makan sambil menyanyi. Nyaring betul vokal si Jun, manakala Kak Liza pula, suaranya serak-serak basah, persis Ella!

Aku, seperti biasa, mendendangkan himpunan lagu-lagu 80an dan 90an.


Sekali lagi, happy birthday to you, Jun. All the best in your undertakings. May Allah bless you with more rahmat, berkat and joy. Aamin.

Kepada Kak Liza... terima kasih daun keladi. Janganlah serik dan jemput-jemputlah lagi.

Kesempatan ini juga, aku ambil untuk mengucapkan Selamat Tahun Baru Cina kepada my Chinese colleagues - Alison, Kai Meng, Catherine, Chang Lai Kuen, Andrew, Vivienne and Anthony Tan. Not forgotten, my Chinese ex-classmates - Huanu, Ming & Selena. May all of us have a prosperous year ahead. Gong Xi Fa Chai!


p/s: I'm going to PD this evening!

2 "open house"s and a discussion group

Back home, in one of my favourite cities (My top five, in an alphabetical order, are Kuala Lumpur, Kuching, London, Melaka, Paris and Tokyo) I am always looking forward to weekend. There are tonnes of things you can do to fill up your weekend. And if I were to list them down here, I am sure, at the quarter of the list you will, either get bored or annoyed reading this posting (as if my postings have been that interesting all this while!).


Fast forward a month plus later, I am totally clueless on what to do when I opened my eyes on the Saturday morning. I know I have one lunch invitation at Sarah's place and a group discussion at 2.00 pm in preparation for a brief presentation to the class on economic development challenges in the context of Latin American economies.

Well said, I will be (was) productive from 12.30 to 4.30 pm on Saturday.

But how about the other 20 hours? Well, I can use 8 hours for a beautiful sleep but the other 12 hours?

What? The final rugby between South Africa and England. Where? The nearest bar. Whom? Other Ladybarn residents since my flatmates do not fancy rugby.

At first, I have to admit it did sound interesting to me. It will gives me the opportunity to buddy with other people like Ivan (who also in the ICT and Social Development class with me) or the guy from Kazakhstan who I totally forgot his name.

But then I have a second thought when I remembered an old memory of mine about an evening when Manchester United had a game with I-cannot-remember club nine or ten years ago. But that's football, not rugby.

Well... I guess to British, sport will always be sport regardless what type of games. They take it seriously and definitely I am too coward to let myself be surrounded by a bunch of drinking (drunk? I am too stupid to know the difference) people, cheering a game which I do not know almost anything about this game.

So, I guess I should heading to my sanctuary, kill the time by surfing the Internet, heat the pre-cooked meal, light reading, taking my daily 8-hour beauty therapy before get ready for another open house in Rusholme.

Thank you Sarah and hubby for the delicious prawn noodles and thank you very much to Fendy, Ayap and housemates for my second lontong in UK. And not to forget, the lemang (at last)!!! And who cooked those delicious ayam Palembang? I like it very, very much.

Well, that goes my an hour and a half Sunday outing. My God... I really miss my karaoke outing very much!
