I've read someone's blog..telling me of how I should do what I want to...and the fact that I should be happy for what I have..and most importantly do something that I think that is right..so here it is..I don't know if you ever read this..but I hope you will..

sorry if it's a bit late..but I just want to tell you how grateful I am to receive your wish....
as you mentioned, during our conversation, I seriously thought you forgot *or maybe I just don't want you to remember it*....but yeah, you did...and I'm grateful for that...thank you for spending your precious time doing your 'little work' for me...your little speech somehow touched my heart..of course the past is hard to forget but..let's be friend..again~~

food..food...food...

hmmm...before smpai sydney..ibu selalu berpesan....
"anakku..jagalah makan dan minum mu disana...pandai2 la survive makan makanan org *maksudnye makanan omputih la*...mungkin dirimu perlu masak sndiri untuk menambah berat badan...makanla apa2 yang halal..pandai2 la carik"
lalu aku membalas...
"baiklah mak...akan ku kuruskan badan di sydney kelak..kerana macam susah mahu mencarik makanan malaysia....akan aku belajar makan western foods dan yang sewaktu dengannye"

kini sudah hampir 6 bulan aku di sini...
hasilnye??? hahahahah...aku semakin *SEHAT* dan kuat...
bukan sebab minum milo...hahahah *milo mahal*
tapi sebab banyak jek food kat cni...
hahahah buang karan jek nak risau2 nie....
sebab ape???
hahahah sebab kat cni..banyak jek makanan malaysia/indonesia yg sangatlah masuk dengan selera nafsu rimbaku *hehe lawak umah nie...family jek paham..*...hahahhaah

ok2..kite start ngan basic food kat msia....

1. MAGGI
sape xpenah makan maggi..angkat tangan!!!!
ahahah tgk..xde sape angkat so terang lagi bersuluh la bahawasanye..maggi adalah keperluan...


hehehe..nie gambo maggi dah masak....yg dalam paket malas nak amik..

hahha sini melambak maggi..cume rase jek kureng~~~
x se 'kaw' atau menendang atau omputih ckap se 'kick' malaysia la...
yelah lidah diorg kan laen...mane ade yg rase curry sangat...hehehehhe
tp orang xbeli pon...heheh kat cni makan brand 'MYOJO'..singaporean brand...
siap ader mee udang..HAO LIAO!!!
dijamin halal...hhahah ader cop taw....xkesahla..asal kenyang!!!

2. KFC
hahahah akhirnye ketemu jua dengan KFC halal...
kat Town Hall..ader lagi 1..luper la..
kat Punch Bowl ader gak..tp McD la..
xsampai lagi.....
ahhahaha tp kfc cni byk choice gak ar..
murah???hmmm okla....


ignore the facial expression...focus on the KFC...lol!!!

hahaha mesti asyik fast food jek...
let's go to the main dish...
heheheh actually it's easy to find halal food..
you just have to ask...
"is this food halal??"
kalu yg keje 2 wat muke macam..'ape kejadah yg ko tanye nie?'
maksudnye...80% xhalal....hahahah
pas2 kene la tanye..'did you use any alcoholic substance *sushi kadang2 pkai sake maa..* or any kind of meat/chicken *kene carik yg smbelih*...'
kene tanye macam2...kalu die kate ok..
ape lagi..bedal la!!!!heheheheh

so ini la hasil2 pencarian kami dak2 macquarie....
makanan halal yang boleh didapat di Sydney *Marsfield, City, Chatswood, Lakemba, etc*

NASI LEMAK
"Laksa House..QVB"

hahaha nampak mantap kan...
this one costs $8.50 *not so sure...forgot the price already*
okla..not bad...dapat choose die punye side dish...and I chose chicken curry
but a bit oily...so cepat muak..but seriously...it's filling..*cm nak meletop perot nak abiskan"

NASI AYAM HAINAN
"Mays...Chatswood..Lemon Shopping Centre"


price: $7++ *again...not sure*
this one syila yang makan...*siap makan ngan chopstick..kalu eden la makan..sampai ke minggu depan xabis..hahaha*
quoted from syila...
"sedap sungguh nasi ayam ini...sungguh la enak sampai licin pinggan ku"
next time..I think I'm gonna try this one...

CHAR KUEY TEOW
"Mays...Chatswood..Lemon Shopping Centre"


price: $8++ (hehe lupe lagi)
1st time nampak...waaahhh macam sedap...
mintak2 same rase cm kat KERINCHI..*memories..*
don't be deceived by its look...
nampak jek sedap...haahha
hampeh....but it depends on the person who eats it laa..
hehehe time 2 chef salah masak kot..haahahah api menjulang smpai rase hangit..hehheheh

NASI PADANG
"Restoran Nasi Padang...Lakemba"


price: $8.50
