Ever since I'm living in KL...
There's only 1 problem for me... FOOD KNOWLEDGE.
Roti canai = roti kosong?
In Penang, as everybody knows... a FOOD HEAVEN.
So least if I dun speak fluent Hokkien nor a word of Mandarin or even know the roads well, least I still know about the FOOD there.
Since I'm in KL, the "names" for the food, quite confusing to me.
Example Lam Mee, in Penang is bihun mee soup with shredded eggs on top,soup..lil'prawns... In KL, their Lam Mee is Penang's well... LOH MEE!
Hokkien Mee (Prawn Mee), some call it Mee Yoke... in Seremban as well.
In Penang, when you order Hokkien Char, it will gives you bihun mee if only you requested for the big fat noodle,you'll get that..
In KL, you order Hokkien CHar.. *pop* you'll get the big fat noodle.
And the style of cooking a little more to "mun yee mee"... too BLACK SAUCE!
ROJAK!
That's the 1st shocked I got...KL's rojak turns out to be pasembor!
IF it's "rojak buah" then you know what you having...FRUITS!
In Penang, Pasembor is mamak food... included with fried tofu, fried duno what else fill with gravy... (yummy!)
If you want Rojak, you'll get Rojak.. fruits of course.. WITHOUT SPECIFY IT.
Speak of Laksa...
In Penang you want laksa, you'll get assam laksa without question...
Only certain places in Penang, you'll get laksa lemak... (never like that!)
Curry Mee.. is curry mee... (my mum luvs it!)
It's already tragic that in KL they called it Curry Laksa...
However... I nearly fainted that day when I was in Seremban...
I was craving for LAKSA for few days...
And I was visiting my lil'sis in Seremban...
And of course seeing "LAKSA" at a stall.. without hesitate... I went order a bowl...
It came out to be curry mee... very very oily too!!!!
My friends were wondering how come I'll order LAKSA...when they know I don't take curry...
"HOW I KNOW IS CURRY MEE LAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!???"
Lucky enough.. bihun, mee, rice still the same name in the WHOLE WORLD!
And of course... if I want Nasi Tomato...in Penang, I don't need to wait till Ramadhan.. every Thursday, Pasar Malam, here I come!
Food... still, it's filling!

Hard to be understood? Or Stuborn?
"She's angry cos you asked another friend of yours along"...
That's the first ever sentence I ever heard...well, as long as I've lived.
I do wonder, is it wrong to ask another friend of mine to join for a dinner last few nites.
The people who asked me went out FIRST, were pretty upset that I asked another friend who they DON'T KNOW, along.
I DISRESPECT.
Yes, I've might.
To me, it's just dinner and at the same time I do not have 24hrs all day long to give around friends.
Why can't I just ask another friend along, when she also working at that area...? Don't you think it'll be a lil awkward that YOUR FRIEND was messaging you and IF you bump into her... what should you say or do then?
To me it's hospitality... to other point of view, disrespect.
I told my partner about it. (That's rare!)
She did said that can't blame your ex said that sentences...
She said, not all people can be "used" to other people's thinking and characther.
You might don't get that person ideas, she might don't get what's your thought either.
I do agree though.
My partner was upset when I dish some dishes to my ex when she came over dinner...
To my partner she sees that well I STILL CARE TO MY EX.
TO ME, it's just hospitality.
I should say, maybe my gestures or thinking... not suitable for anyone?
Friends?
Why when I went back to my hometown for a visit... I don't heard that my best friend or another friend groan to me that "She's upset you bring another friend along!!"....
What does FRIEND eventually meant than?
Not for share? Why exist then?
No one ask me to please anybody, but I want to...
Nothing.. gain.
If I explain or speak up... I'll be nag about being stuborn.. or I don't get the pix...
Sometimes...
Don't try to be wise, when you don't even think twice.
Seriously it's hurt.
This is me.

One Last Chance
How many chances can be given?
How many loses should a person face?
How many wins shall the person achieved?
Giving all in a relationship... wanted it to be FOREVER...
Eventually, it'll sometimes make someone forgot there's other things to be achieve.
Career?
Familia?
Even sometimes, when we thought that we could last till the end of time...
Something will comes in between...
Yes, we won't predict the future whether could we back together as one...
Sometimes...
Future, it's in our hands.
If No, will be No.
If it's Yes, there's changes need to be make.
Chance will be given.
