Semalam berakhirnya sukan Olympics 2012 di London. So mane yg dok bersengkang mate semate-mate nak tengok game boleh la tidoq ngan aman.No more eye bags under the eyes and no more late nites.. *this goes out to you too che mat!!*... I didnt followed the sports that much but i did manage to watch final basketball, Badminton and Volley ball as these sport are only my favorite. * I wonder if they could squeeze in Paintball in the sport.. that would be completely awesome*... Syok gak tengok cerite2 pasal Onlympics. It remains me the days when me and my parents stayed they on 1994. Rindu nye!!!!
Mase tengok the opening ceremony, rase cam gile sedih. I missed the time when every weekend me and my parents would go to Harrods for lunch, chilling at Trafalgar Square, spending afew hours just looking at Big Ben and the most awesome part is, the London underground...
Aku ade lagi map Underground kat rumah lame. Siap frame kan lagi, tapi malangnye udah hilang.
London Underground is kinda of my obsession.The minute u entered the underground, i can feel the chilled. Then as you about to go way under by escalator, it gets more cold. The sound of the train arriving at the terminal, the cold, its awesome.The feeling is beyond words..Sape yang pernah naik London Underground would understand exactly what im trying to say. Tapi xtau la if ade orang yang gile obsessed with the underground as much as i do..I remembered once one moms friends asked me what did i miss the most about London, i would say the Underground. As i started talking to her about the London Underground, i cried.
Other thing i like most about London is the food. Those day, tak ade lagi kedai yang jual Malaysian food. The only place is Malaysian Hall. But at Malaysian Hall, ade jugak orang mat salleh dok lepak. and dont be supriced, one of abahs classmate while he was doing his master, suke lepak situ n order roti canai and teh tarik. Lupe la name die. but he was awesome. tiap kali datang umah, mesti ade cotton candy for me. =)
Not forgetting London famous Fish and Chip. Authentic. Why you asked? sebab they serve atas surat khabar lame. No joke. The fish and chip jual kat stall tepi jalan. and u can buy tem for £3 at that time lebih kurang..tapi portion die sangat besau.
Then every Saturday ade Car Boot Sale. Konsep die macam pasar tani but jual used items for cheap price. Macam kerusi or sofa or even almari. The only reason i look forward going to Car Boot Sale is BAKE POTATOES!!! Gile sodap. Imagine tengah sejuk, pastu dapat melantak baked potatoes yang freshly baked with melted butter on top with baked beans... Gile sedap.Usually die oran baked the potatoes kat situ gak depan mate. Sometimes, terpakse beratur but honestly, worth the wait, im not kidding.
The famous baked potatoes..
Then time turun snow. Sangat2 la best. Abah would be really pist sebab snow covered the car but i will be running around main dengan neighbour i time tu, Jason. Then time sekolah, the teacher were very la friendly. They dont see you as their student tau, they sees you as their own children. I remember Mrs. Davis, she was my class teacher. Mase first day of school, die pay extra attention to me sebab that time i dont know how to speak in English. So she would spend extra hours after school ajar aku grammer, reading and spelling.. Lepas tu kali bernasib baik, die ajak balik rumah die and she baked cookies for me. Korang rase ade tak cikgu-cikgu dekat Malaysia ni nak buat cam tu? ... HAREEEEEEEEEEMMM!!!!
Then one of our syllabus at school is baking class. Sume orang look forward to that class sebab kite orang dapat baked cookies sendiri.Any cookies you want.. During class break, aku training for cricket. Nak kate terror tu xde la but bley la tahan. hahaha... camne tuh?
Then summer break, the three of us pegi travel to France, Italy and Finland by car. Dari London naik kapal sampai France. Kire cam cross country. Best sangat2..the view memang susah nak dapat kat Malaysia.
Bile time mak n abah habis Master, aku siap buat propitiation dekat depa yang aku nk duduk sini sesorang.Siap hentak hentak kaki xnak balik. Mrs. Davis siap pujuk aku suruh balik Malaysia. Lepas tu mak ade cakap, mase dekat Heathrow as we about to board the plane, aku siap meraung xnak balik Malaysia.Yang ni aku x ingat. Mak yang cite.
Bila dah dekat Malaysia, aku tak ramai kawan sebab,.... aku tak boleh cakap melayu.. Bende yang basic2 je aku tau. Kalo tanye name n duduk mane aku tau a jawab. Tapi the rest memang aku tak reti. So bile dekat sekolah, mak enrollkan aku dekat sekolah private, Sekolah Rendah Islam Al-amin. I HATE THAT STUPID SCHOOL!!! Bad enough i dont know how to read in malay or talk in malay, now in that school i have to study arabics.. BullSh*T... Memang teruk sangat time tu. Everytime exam, aku dapat number last for 3 years straight. Then finally, mak masukkan aku dekat Sekolah Kebangsaan Ampang. Then baru aku mule pick up balik. Tapi still BM aku cam mat salleh baru nk belajar cakap melayu. Aku punye British slang toksah cite. Slalu gak la kene gelakkan. Tapi yang syok nye, time result exam for paper English, i was the highest in that school overall..
Itu adalah antare kisah-kisah aku di London and sejurus balik dari London.. Afew year jugak i was being delusional sebab bile orang tanye aku dari mane. I would reply " Dari London "... I wasnt pround to be Malaysian at all. Serious!! That time aku rase Malaysia ni cam tak membangun langsung cam London.
Aku slalu cakap Malaysia ni negara miskin sebab tak ade 'Underground'. Yelah time tu mane ade LRT.. hahaha...
Kalo aku diberi peluang untuk settle down kat sane or dapat offer keje kat sane, i wont hesitate.. Memang aku ambil. London is where i grew up...
" I miss London, i miss Uxbridge, I miss Underground.. Nak baik sane "........
" Habis degree, kite balik kampung".....Yosh!! Green light from abah.
Now, misi baru... Kumpul duit untuk beli ticket flight naik A380...n BALIK KAMPUNG!!!!!
