Bulu's ride

Note the background. What a lovely Trengganu. Fantastic beach. So blue so green so so alluring you deep into calmness. Almost serenading.
We are the tour riders.

thinking of killer words for this pic. pok har plok ada. putuh idea. brahilah nyeper dalam frame. from front mohd hamka (BMW R1200RT), Mohd Azan Shukri (Kawasaki ZX-14), Haji Zulkifli Haji Mohamad (Honda Goldwing 1800), Haji Wan Mohd Adha (BMW R1200ST).

It was makan sutong ride. Location mengabang telipot nearby belakang University Malaysia Terengganu.

Let me detail out how it get started. Pok har do a favour for his cousin by sending him to kuantan airport from kemaman lah. Night flight lah. After airport pok har and wife drink2 lah at indera mahkota. Time to balik kunci kereta jem. Key cannot turn lah. (itulah pok har, kete orang putih ning dok reliable, proton gok kot mana2 pong. orang pakai ferrari pong standby waja se drumoh cadang kot ferrari rusok). So, pok har panggil pomenlah. Pomen pong malam2 dok cukup tools. so kena tow.

So happen i ngan tommy nak kuar drink2 juga malam tu. pok har called tommy explained the situation. eng theng, tommy and me decided gi kat pok har lah. teman pok har and wife tunggu tow truck.

So, drink2 lah kami. Tommy wak gatal mulut, ''tadi bulu call aku ajok ride makan sutong esok jemahab''. Doh molek ah pok har mencelas. myself baru balik ride from KL that day concure je lah. Jadila ride kami esoknya ke mengabang teliput semata nak makan ikan and sutong celup tepun.

i forgetful already the time we ride that morning. maybe around 10am. we ride thru route chukai-ibok-sribandi-jabor jerangau up to ajil. Bulu gohek goldwing dia lajuu...konar macam dalam you tube. Debor2 i ikut belakang.

Kami singgah for friday prayer kat ngadang baru. (why so pelik ah nama2 kat KT ning?). To be exact masjid Tokku. Tommy kata kawasan tokku ning kira hebat ah. Dulu2 story2nya masa misbun sakit, yer mari berubat sining ah. hebat2. tommy pong hebat pasal dia tau belaka ingat belaka peristiwa2 dan hari ini dalam sejarah terengganu. Till awek2 ex school sume yer ingat...hok tu junior aku ...awek tu batch mung...awek tu senior mung...awek tu top girl dulu....siap ingat nama lagi.....we are talking mende yang 20 tahun dulu....tommy ingat ser ser agi...kelas mung tommy. bapok semart jugok...dulu ah.

Se arrivenya di warung hok sedap sekali (no kidding man. this warung serve the best ikan and suton celup tepung. even my children yang tak reti makan pong menambah2 makan suton disini. penuh kedai dia. towkey dia definitely silence millionaire.) kami lepak dulu. pasal tak start menggoreng lagi.

warung kodi jer tapi jangan tertipu. kalu cuti skoloh kaloh KFC

we waited for 30min. while waiting bulu story2 experience dia and wife kat europe. from visiting museum at Paris (eh what museum ah?)-surrended pasal iceland volcanic ash-5000euro lv bag-motor2 in germany-dull german lady-lovely paris -amsterdam-untill lah the end.....banyok pitih habis bodo....tapi nok gi lagi.

Pok har pong not surrender, story jugok pasal europe trip dia italy-london-germang. But, pok har the story teller aka pok har sepupu dave chappel relate a cemas story. Anak dia age 5 rasanya..termasuk sorang2 dalam subway. and...and...and pintu train tutup and and train jalan to the next station. bloody hell....cemas giler.....selanjutnya kena tanya pok har. 15 min of a life time pok har kata. ending macam drama swasta. after all dah selamat, the white female cop menangis, makcik african american/british(takleh cakap black kan?) pong menangis, wife pok har lagi nangis....tiga2 peluk2 nangis. tapi pok har kata dia dok nangis. ya ka? haaaa....ya ka....its ok what for a man to cry....

food belum sampai lagi, i pun story gak.....'best ah RT aku'. itu je lah

tommy pong nak story gak. 'lamalah dok ***. mok mung dokrok dekpong'. Itulah jer story kami berdua. Slot time tak banyak. sume pok har ngan bulu dah beli.

suton dah sampai. habis. udang sampai. habis. suton lagi. habis. ikan celup tepong sampai. habis. tommy 'nok suton agi?" bulu''dakpe ah. wak mari ah. kenyang doh ning. pakat makan skit2 sorang''. suton sampai. habis lagi. kejap jer. takde pakat2 makan pong. berebut2 ada ler. In the end we ate too much seafood lah. Time bayar..pok har tunduk, tommy sibuk cek email, i macam biasa ah..gave a 'pls pay stare' to bulu. Of coz bulu belanja. dia dah janji dah. Alhamdulillah. bukok rezeki bulu. buleh beli porchee se agi.

tommy...oloh ..lepas kerat sutong pegang mende tu plok...beratlah saing2 aku..

Ini cerita on d way back. Pok har plok kebas/kreng kaki atas muto. kenalah i teman dia berhenti. pok har, pok har ingat baham gaut kih udang dosh.

around 7pm i sampai kuantan dah. safe and sound.

melancholic journey part III

Dont ask. I wont write. Just ponder, mull and dwell over it. Detrimental for my health.

Tommy watched the movie (dvd) to kill time. End up recommending me for it. Damn good movie. A movie that tought me few lessons in life. May be the greatest bollywood movie so far. Sila lah tengok.

Double Trouble

We (i ngan sikin lah)were at the double trouble concert. parking was hassle. Entrance was pack. We have to squeeze thru. I am talking entrance to the bukit kiara area for ticket inspection not the indoor arena yet. Entrance to the indoor arena was even terrible experience. Its like squeezing watermelon into a kicap botol. The arena is meant for horse riding/equestarium ke apa tu (yang kuda main lompat2 galah). It has only 1 door. I think la. Imagine almost 20000 of us trying to get thru that.
You can see all walk of life. The rock one, the cool one. the jeans and christian edgar t shirt one, the t shirt concert one, awek silap dressing one, dah tua one, middle age one, bau beer one. the masam ketiak one, bawak awek one, the mat motor one, makcik one pun ada, the bising one, joker, suka tolak2 one and macam2 one. All of these boleh notice masa bersesak2 nak masuk.
It was not a situation we like to be.

BUT, BUT, hey!!!! itulah nama dia concert rock!!!Nostaliga sungguh. rasa macam muda2 dulu konsert kat expo. i enjoy every moment..baik masa bejalan ke arena from parking, masa bersesak masuk...masa berdiri 3 jam tgk concert even masa berpeluh macam mandi sauna.

before the concert begins, the atmosphere was lightning. everyone of us enjoying ourselves. sementara menunggu start tu...sempat juga ....renung diri....tua dah aku....lama dah since belenggu irama keluar....lepas tu rock ah balik.....nak signal rock kat tangan pun dah lupa.

Once the concert begin........dia punya best tu tak leh nak cerita. sorry. kena experience sendiri.

ada 1 shortcoming lah. i've been to many concerts kat US lah. Kita kat mesia ni sound system kurang power. tak gegar ah. waste of talent lah. amy and awie and crew are bloody talented, but sound tak kuat tak gempak tak bising. I was standing in the middle still rasa music slow. tak full blast. sayang ah.
concert habis 12am. pi minum kat pelita bangsar with friends yang sekepala layan double trouble. then balik.
today monday, my kaki still sore. exactly belakang knee. so jalan macam org kena gaut skit. pasti coz standing lama sangat. 3 hrs + berjalan. rasa macam tandom belakang knee tu dah stretch.

if Double Trouble mai Kuantan nak tengok lagi.
