Being chauffered

Last wednesday, when I was being chauffeured around in eastern part of KL, I managed to idlely sight the view of what Kumar has branded as the slump of KL. Not too bad lah. There, you can clearly enjoy an unobstructed skyline of KL with the glittering Petronas Twin Towers torching its beauty at dusk.


ps: ill skip the unobstructed view of klcc if i need to, just to feel being at home

pss: feeling of being chauffered?nice

Brrrr : it's not cold lah

Banana for breakfast, Indonesian's Ikan Balado or mix rice for lunch, Max Brenner choc for tea, Smith's Thinly Cut Sour Ceaam & Onion chips for snack and pear for dinner. My typical australian menu. Or rather my typical Melbourne's menu.

It's been a while since my last time in down under. It was cold back then. By right it supposed to be a just-nice weather this time around. Usually every month my work assignment will make me to be at least once (around 2 days 1 night) in Melbourne. Sometimes twice. How I miss Melbourne...

It's a weekend. So some buskers will fill the entertainment section for the day. And I'll skip Crown Casino for the time being tehehe =)

Oh, Ina birthday is just around the corner. This sunday to be precised. Will I be getting something for Ina? Best tak dapat hope Ina? ha haha I know Ina gonna belasah me for this.



ps: sweet was kumar's reply to me when he asked me whats the taste of hope.tanya jawab sendiri.pandai =)

pss: gday stevo.owzit going?

Breaking fast with a Jew

It was a cold summer evening in Paris, near Bois de Boulogne. 2007 Rugby World Cup.

The group stage match between Italy and Portugal has kicked off. It was ramadhan and I was waiting for the time to iftar before I enter the Parc des Princes stadium. "I'm gonna be late" I was talking to myself while sitting on a bench outside the stadium. In europe, they don't let you smoke and bring either food or drinks into the stadium. So there was I, alone, hungry and late.

A male in his late 30s or maybe early 40s holding a McDonald's burger in his hand came and, in french asked my permission to join me on the bench. From how he looked like, I was quite sure he's not a gay. So I replied "Oui". Not that I understand french, but he included some hand gestures when he was asking for my permission. So I reckoned an Oui would be a perfect answer. After all, the bench is a public property with Propriété de la Ville de Paris stamped on it.

Minutes later, that guy whom has finished his mouth watering burger, tried to make a conversation. He amused me. Why? Because, after he learnt that I don't literally speak his native, immediately he started to converse in english. A descent english indeed for a frenchman. He asked whether I'm a muslim and promptly without hesitation I replied "Oui... Yes". But I am in no mood to have a chat because earlier, I had to walk and stand for hours, trying to sell my 3 spare tickets. Luckily, I managed to sell them off and made some handsome profit. Now I'm exhausted.

And before I know, he was giving me a lecture on Jew and Muslim. Ah malasnya aku nak layan. Yahudi rupanya mamat ni. Suddenly outside Malaysia, I'm become racist despite living in a no-racial issue life back home. But I have to iftar and now is the time to break my day long fast. 18 hours to be exact. So I told him "Sorry mister but I need to eat. You may continue your story if you want to". I turned into a passive listener while he continued with his bla bla bla. Interestingly, I do learnt something about Muslim and Jew, where of course his story did favoured his Jew descendants.

After my quick meal, I quickly "I need to go. Good to talk to you. Au revoir monsieur" and walk away from him towards the stadium's gate where I was supposed to walk up the stairs for my designated seat. Match was boring as it was between a non big team in rugby world. I left early before the match ended. An hour plus later I reach my hotel using a combination of metro and stage bus. But it was an experience for me, seated in a stadium in Paris to watch a Rugby World Cup match, befriended with other Italians and Portugese to illegally sell tickets and an iftar with a Jew.

Having interest in many fields, after that conversation now I like to think that anthropology is a very exciting. It is not a very fun read but it will enlighten you, make you a better human. As a person I mean.
