One of many good things about being Malaysian...

Monday, May 10, 2004

Hi y'all! I'm gonna go tengok bola kejap lagi. Kat kedai mamak. My favourite one, Syed Bistro. Ahahaha... Arsenal lawan Fulham. Arsenal must try and avoid defeat in order to ensure their unbeaten run stays on track. It's just because of that la I intend to watch the match. Kalo tak, I'd rather go sleep or surf Internet or play games, coz, you know, kalo a football team has nothing to aim for in their match, they'll surely field second string players, which is seriously a bore...

Hmm... speaking of kedai mamak, it's one of the best things about being Malaysian I must say. There's definitely no kedai mamak overseas yang operate just like how "kedai mamaks" operate locally here. 24 hours!! Night clubs pun tak bukak 24 hours (I'm guessing here, I never went to one okay...). Plus, kedai mamak is a place where friends, families can gather and borak2 till the wee hours of the morning.

What I find great about kedai mamak is that: 1) You can watch Astro football matches at their premises. This is great tau, sebab watching football with lots of people, some of them you even don't know, is very thrilling. Especially when goals are scored. You'll be cheering, just like you're in a football stadium! My brother once brought me to this one kedai mamak in Bandar Sri Hartamas to watch a Worthington Cup Final between Man U and Liverpool last season. Man!! That was one heck of an experience. The place was jam packed full of people, not only people dining at the kedai mamak, but also bystanders dropping by just to watch the match. Why were there too many people? Coz they prepared a projector and screen at the grounds next to the shop. Wow, that's definitely an experience I will always remember.

2)Another thing I like about kedai mamak is just sitting there watching other people. I like doing that. Don't tell me that I'm a pervert! It's just that it's refreshing and entertaining to watch gelagat orang lain dalam hidup ni. Ada yang datang sorang2 doing the same thing that I am doing, of course.:) Ada gak some of them yang consist of couples dating. Ada gak large families yang terpaksa layan their children's noisy behaviour. And not to mention plenty of other behaviours from everyone. It is generally amusing to watch how people act and live in this world. :)

(Vrooom... Went to kedai mamak for Arsenal vs Man U match...)

Heyyy... I'm back! Actually I wanted to post this before the game started but I didn't have time: The O.C. was concurrently on TV! I had to go watch it and before you know it, I didn't have time to post this blog, since I must hurry and go watch Arsenal play.

Aaahh... I dunno why I'm rambling tonight. Dunno you people can understand a word I was saying or not. Nevertheless, thanks for reading...
