Aku terbaca satu article pasal eating organic food,few blogs on the same topics life as a vegan ,how it has impacted their life etc.It is so inspired.Basically,there are only positive things we could get from adapt those life style,but up to today, I am not a vegan, I am not eating organic( only some of it...).
Bagussssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss..haaaaa,itulah comment aku lepas aku baca article tu.And knowing me yang konon suka cuba segala ni, of coursee.."haaaaaaaaaaa, i will start to be a vegetarian lah tomorrow......berkobar-kobarrr nih,macam tak sabar -sabar gituh.Yerlah..banyakkk sangat kebaikkannya..terhadap diri dan alam sekitar..
Tapi...
Bangun pagi jer esoknya, terus makan rendang lebihan malam semalam,or paling tidak makan scramble egg..or paling tidak tuna sandwich..atauuu lahaii..paling senang, kalau tekak melayu ni dan yang paling banyak available aroudn us kalau bangun pagi adalah, nasik lemak ayam berempah or nasik lemak satu!paru lebih makcikkk!! (ha?paru makcik?)..kan?..kan????.( they are many types of vegetarian,namely ..vegan, microbitic,se-mi vegan,lacto-ovo..dependings on what do you consume.. , some do not consumes egg, some does, bla bl abla bla...)
So...impian tuh, berkubur begitu saja..
Bulan depannya, berangan lagi..dan terus berangannn...gitu aja lah..
But, what caught the attention was..the lady said " our organ,our body are not made to be able to process chemical,that is why orang sekarang dapat banyakkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk penyakitttt..sebab, makanan yang kita makan mostly ADA CHEMICAL, be it pesticide,colouring, hormon-hormon (injected into fruits, ayam supaya cepat/bagi lagi besar) ,MSG,preservative, bla bla blaaaa"...AND, by eating meat, you ARE acctually cause global warming (livestock farming)-I read this here..ok,not that I have zero knowledge, but I never took it seriously( I do not eat meat everyday anyway)..I try to eat as much fish and vegi as I can, but never try hard enough to be a vegetarian.I do have people around me who is vegan/vegetarian ,and I never see them starving, they still eating as normal like us.I asked both of them what is the reason they become one, jawapan standard mereka " because of health /leading a healthier life".
OK.
But I still never try to become one, eventough I know many of the benefit/advantages ....
How to become one?...I was thinking.
1.
Kita ni jenis banyak kawan-kawan,relatives, family yang suka hidangkan macam-macam bila kita datang,kalau boleh semua nak hidang.Yeah,talking about hospitality esp in Jawa clan( aku jawa ok!)....full with kenduri kendara,gathering that for sure involve food..it is part of the culture..OK, it is not what they serve ,but its more on what you choose to put on your plate you might say...Tapi tuhla..nanti orang tersinggung pulak tak makan,or kata kita ni memilih ..hmmm..
Couple of weeks back, my mom attending rewang( rewang yer..bukan merewang),kat kampaung aku kenduri kendara ni masih masak -bukan cattering,so its involve jiran/sedara mara,gotong royong gitu larrr..My mom are naturally leading a healthier life style, she eat LOTS of vegs,be it raw/in the soup , and eat more fish, EVERY DAY.I am so proud of her !!!She IS healthier ,alhamdullilah.Hari tuh, habis rewang,depa makan lah reramai,mak ambil banaykkk sayurr dalam pinggan dia, dan only 2,3 sudu nasi..tetiba, satu suara kuat.......
...."Ala Kak Mas, diettttttttttt lah pulakkkk..dah takde sapa nak mengorat lah ko lah Kak Mas oiii...makannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn aja lahhhhh,apa nak catu-catu pilih -pilihhhhhhh makan..laki ko dah nunggu dah kat rumahhh".
Eiiii..insurans mulot ada tak tuh???
OK,makcik ni tak salah, kg aku memang corok, ini satu gurau-gurau jer ,normal...
Sesekali..,memang lah gurau,tapi kalau banyak kali, eh! rasa nak penggal kepala orang pulak rasa..kan?So, senyummm jerlahhhhh dalam ketap-ketap bibir tuh kann...
Satu lagi, ada satu makcik tuh diebetic,bila orang tanya.
."so cik Jah?ko pantang lah kan makan?"
"Ha'ah...pantangg...PANTANG NAMPAK, AKU MAKAN jerrrrrrr!!!".
**Point nya, support dari orang sekeliling tuh,aku rasa penting kot kan..Pemahaman dari orang sekeliling etc...So kita ada kebebasan memilih lah kiranya ,tanpa rasa hesitant..yerlah..dalam masyarakat ni, banyak istilah menjaga hati bla bla bla..nilai yang baik,tapi kita mestilah faham makna choice/kebebasan memilih..
Kalau pasangan tak menyokong pulak....
"apa ni???sayur sayur sayur..hari hari hidang sayur..awak ingat saya kambing ker"..ha...kan dah haru?????
2.
Food itu sebenarnya bagus,kalau kita prepare sendiri.Kita tahu apa bahan /jenis sayur yang kita gunakan, selain kita tahu kebersihannya..Tapi,orang macam aku yang single ni, mostly malass nak masak.Lahai, beli tapau kat luar lagi cepat +jimat...Haaaaaa...so, dalam sebulan tuh, boleh kira lah ,berapa kali aku masak,atau ikut mood lah ..kadang seminggu straight masak..lepas tuh, dapur tak berasap sebulannn...Haaa...Macam mana tu?????
Lagi pulak,kadang kita fikir.."ehhh!makan kat warung Senah tuh,sambal udang dia,lahaiiiii udang kurus-kurusssss...2,3 ketul jer dia kasik, nasi paprik dia pulak,daging dia kena pakai mikroskop baru nampak jelas...kecikkkk benorrrr haaaaa".
So, bila masak sendiri..YAHOOOOOo!!!!sukati aku lah nak masuk apa, berapa banyak aku nak letak!GEMBIRAAAAaaa..so, kita masukkklah sebesar/sebanyak bahan yang mungkin.
Sudahnyaaa....moreeeeeeeeeeeeeeee penyakit pulak dahhh..
3.
Banyak yang kata, kalau beli food/can food etc, tengok label nya..paling kurang bahan yang di gukan, lagi bagus...kalau dalam bahan tuh ada perkataan yang kau tak boleh sebut,sila jangan beli,sebab,kebarangkalian 95% benda tuh adalah chemical..bahan kimia..
Betulkan???maknanya, lagi simple food tuh,lagi asli dari segi bahan dan rasa..
Haaaaa...
Aku ni,sukaaaa tau tengok cooking program..nak-nak kat AFC or travel and living chanel.RTM ,TV3,astro ria punya pon aku tengok jugakkk...tak kira lah channel manaaaa...janji rancangan masakan yang menggiurkan..favourites aku, chef at home, Naked chef si Jamie Oliver , Nigella, chasing the yumm ,master chef, Top Chef ..Chef Wan..ketuk-ketuk ramadhan dan lain2x lahhh..banyakkkkkk...
Perasan tak..kalau menu orang puteh , or kalau pergi restaurant,nama menu or food dia panjanggggggg berjelaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...
Contohnya...hmm..
" chaud-froid of scallop and foie gras with vanilla parsnip, milk curd, oxtail consomme and hints of ivory chocolate"
Or..
twice cooked sea trout with apple-sorrel juice, olive oil pickled cucumber, puffed black rice and wakame salad"
Or..
hazelnut dacquoise with cassis coulis, chocolate mousseinfused with yuzu, caramelised blueberry, raspberry sorbet and crystalised basil leaf
***Chef in Black punya menu
Ha???
Kalau waiter tanya aku "yes mam?what would your order?"
Terus aku gagap!Padahal dah tenunggggg menu tuh macam baca buku..setengah jam..
Panjangggg nya namaaaaaaaa !
Kalau makan kat French restaurant/spanish,..ha ha ha..habis dah lah kan...
So,kadang aku tunjuk jer pakai jari(hahaha..very de tak de kelezz ko cik kiahhh..kehkeh..).
Habis tuh...nak sebut balsamic vinegar pon dah setengah jam...
Contoh jer lahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.............
Tapi, kalau makan kat kedai makan melayu senang...haaaaa..ni aku suka..
Contohnya, Ayam goreng kunyit, Ikan Sambal, cendawan goreng.,sup sayur..alahhhh..biasanya maksimum 3 words jer lah...
Kalau yang agak "complicated",menunya jadik gini..
Tomyam campur
Nasi campur
Ikan 3 rasa
Kerabu xxxxx (salad lah kan..senanggggg..kerabu xxxxxx).
Roti John ( John who???)
See?...still 2 or 3 words..
Kalau pergi restaurant pulak..alaaa..apa kelas kat menu yang lawa tuh nak tulis Sambal udang petai, ayam goreng kunyit,atau Spagethy goreng ayam..
Menunya akan bertukar gini..
Udang Sinaran mentari
Spaghety Idaman Jantungku(apa???ko masak jantung engkauuu ker??)
Nasik goreng special
Chicken dancing with Queen.
Nasik goreng Bonda ( hmm...mak aku pon ada resepi nasi goreng dia)
Siakap in special house sauce
Seafood platter, fruits platter,xxxx platter
Gituh..still ringkas, yang penting, nama mesti vouge, yang orang kalau nampak terus nak order!
But, you tell me, do you have any idea whats there on the plate/ingredient used in Nasi goreng mentari??I am sure dia tak letak MATAHARI dalam periuk tuh....ko gila nyah????
Pointnya, aku mengeluh apa menu nama panjangggg ni, tapi bila fikir balik,bukankah nama tuh acctually memberitahu aku,apa kebenda yang dia masukkan daam masakan tuh.Baguslah kan, u know what you consume, what seasoning they used..right?
takdelah mintak sup sayur, tapi dalam tuh ada sotong bergelimpangan dalam tuh..ergh!!
Knowing what goes in into your body, is important right..if you really care of your health..
Tapi..cuba aku makan rendang..tetiba namanya..
Daging lembu ,di rebus 2 kali dalam air dari air terjun kota tinggi, dengan santan organik,bawang merah dan bawang putih, daun limau purut, serai, gula melaka, kerisik,cili kering, rempah tumis,bersama cili burung ..ehhhhhhhhhhh...never endinggg lahhh...
Yawn...
Alah..sebenarnya, kalau nak buat kebaikkan, nak makan healthier food etc, pucuk pangkalnya, diri sendiri kan..bermula dari diri sendiri..
Hendak seribu daya, tak hendak, salahkan jiran lah....sedara lah..salahkan menu lah, kucing jiran lah..etc..
kan..
Cari paling bagus nak mula, dalam seminggu tuh, adakan 1 atau 2 hari "Hari Sayur Sahaja"..
Hmmm...kat kampung, di rumah emak, banyak pokok betik ,buahan-buahan yang aku rasa, mak abah tak pernah pon letak baja..dia memang hiduppp jer gituh..takde letak chemical fertalizer or any baja pon..
tu,kira organic ker?
I should check ,where in JB we could get a real organic food with reasonable price..
INGAT..MAKAN UNTUK HIDUP, BUKAN HIDUP UNTUK MAKAN...

waitttttttttttttt!! Stoppppppppp!!!
My friend Suzuki was staying at my house for a few days,after arriving from Tokyo.
While I went for works, she was doing her own little advanture, including , explore things in my fridge.Her international license was expired,so she couldn't drive.
I told her,i bought a few things,bread,cereal,juice ,eggs etc in case she wants to have breakfast before going out.
I called her from the office just to make sure she is fine.
I suggest her why don't you whip some scramble eggs etc?
She was telling me she found Kaya ( jem kaya) dalam fridge, and she likes kaya so she will just have it with bread.Simple.And she said she found garlic butter spread etc...
I was like.............
"Wait !!!..tungguuu..tungggguuu!!!" jerit aku,as i think half of my office could hear my voice.
"Why?" she asked me?
I said..." Suzuki!!!I am a really a single person!!" .
"so?" she asked me back with confusion..
"meaning...u you have to really check the expiry date of what ever you see in my fridge before you consume it !!..Check firstttt pls!!!It might has expired", i explain in desparation.
The truth is, I don't even remember ,when did I ever bought kaya jem????
And, I am a single person who eat outside alot,and I don't really replenish my fridge .
And if ever happen she eat anything and cause something...errrrr..... I don't want to be a killer...ok?
She aggree with that and giggle .."aiyooo...tak payah lah kau bimbang..aku ok jer...infact,aku sukaaaa kaya jem kau tuh,tapi,apsal masam ek???"
"Tuh lah minahhhh!!!benda tuhd ah expired..jgn makan!", tapi aku mmg tak ingat aku ada jem kaya dalam fridge aku??????
So the whole day I felt restless,my friend might got killed eating thing from my petisejuk.
But she keep giggling and said she is OK..so..lantak ko lah labuuuuuu..
So,the first thing Idid when I reached home was, asked her.."ehhh..ko ok??ko makan kaya jem expired ehhh????"
Dia berjalan ke peti sejuk and took it out and show me..
"Ni haaaaa....sedap tapi maasammm lah kaya jem engkau"...
I almost fainted!!!
The misterious kaya jem was acctually .. "Asam Jawa XTRA Adabi".
HAHHAHAHAHAHHA
KAHKAHKAGKAGAGAGAGHAHAHHAHAHHAHHAHA

Hongky !
Gigantic 24 inch pizza !The cheese and tomato was so crispy !makan satu slice and kenyang satu hariii!
YuMMMmmmmm...my friend brought me to the one of the masjid in Hong Kong.To eat halal dimsum at the masjid's canteen.Purin purin lah the shrimp !
I met many muslims there,and at this masjid and they are many activities and this masjid carry many functions for the moslem comunity there...I was told, they are currently 15,000 Malaysian here.Not many as the comparison of Hong Kong population of 7 millions.
I met this former towkey of C1MB bank here ( tup tup adik Najib suruh tutup yer),,,who choosed to live here ..so gigih hari2x tengah sibuk carik kerja...I asked her,what makes her wants to live here..her answer was simple..Hong Kong is safe country( she told us the horror story that she nearly get rob at her own gate in Bangsar) , and the efficient public transport ..I couldn't aggree more..!Its hard to choose whether I like HK or SG more..but for less crowded city,I choose SG..for more vibrant city,I would choose HK..kawloon in particular..
But both SG and HK offer safety and efficient public transport...

Pizza Pilgrimage..Napoli...
After reading Eat Pray Love ,written by American author Elizabeth Gilbert ,I told myself, I need to eat that Pizza!Put aside the books or the movie review,all I need is to eat THAT PIZZA.
In the books ,there is a line said by Giovanni "Please lie to me that you have eat it, eventhough you don't ",knowing that Julia Robert is going to Naples.
And in the movie, itself,Julia Robert has said " I am having a relationship with my food now", while she was having that Margherita...something like that lahhhhh....
"I am going to Naples!!", I said that to myself while reading TOP 10 BEST PIZZERIA IN NAPOLI ,ITALY POSSIBLY THE BEST IN THE WORLD.
And all I heard from the person on my right side cubicle was "wow!Climbing the Himalaya!!.."
And .."Nice place!I have been there twice , and mannn....breathtaking view..but you have to do some training though..its hard but worth it!"..a guy voice from my left cubicle..and in a minute, I got a lecture about climbing a mountain bla bla bla..
Errrrrr......
HOLD ON dudeeeee!
I am not talking about Nepal,but I am talking about Naples, or Napoli, .And I am not ambitious to climb any mountain yeahhhh.Never...errr
But, I am going to Naples to eat..
Ok.Ok...I better use the word Napoli ( Thats how Italian called it) so people don't missunderstood me....
So, pizza was originated in this city.
I saw this photo in the Pizzeria.
But, this pizzeria has already been in top rating before the movie was film there..The locals knew it..
Enough about the boring facts, that everyone can just Google from the internet..
Now, its time to transport myself there...
I reached Fiumicino Airport ,Rome ( Roma) around 10AM ,2 hours 15 minutes flight from Athens,and after the confused baggage claim system ,langguage that I couldn't understand, I got a ticket to Termini, central train station for Rome.
Me: 1 ticket to TeRRrrrmini please?
Guy : Good!14 euros please, and here is your ticket.
**The lady infront of me was pissed off when she pointed "Termini " in her guide book to get a ticket there, and the guy said "How can I sell you a ticket if you can't pronounce it???".
Guy : Say it..TeRRRrrrrmini...
Me,the lady,the American guy behind me.."TERRRRRRRRMini!!!!!
kihkih.
OMG.Forget about civillization OK..If you intend to queue to leave the airport in getting a train to Termini, you probably will stuck there,hmmm..forever...
People do not queue!Anddd..mannnnn...I am going to follow the rest...rushhhh in.
And its not a modern train( hmmm..like an MRT in Singapore or atlest Athens) ,but there is a hugeeeee gap between the platfrom and the train,and a small stair case to climb.
And its 14 euros???serious..I am soOOoo want to complain. hahahhaa.
Heloooo..my luggage( err..bag pack ) is so heavy ,that kind of impossible to lift it up.I hate myself for not being able to travel light.Entah mak nenek apa ek aku bawak?????
So,dalam susah payah,aku merempuh lah macam orang lain kannnnnn,kalau tak,sampai besok gaknya aku tersadai kat situh,kebetulan banayk flight baru sampai,ramainya orang ,yarobbiii.
And it was so many people and I couldn't place my bag at the proper place,and its become obstacle to commuter that a guy just lift it up and put it on the overheard compartment..
WOW..Thank you for your kindness..
But...along the journey..aku dok fikir..tinggi siallllll,camne aku nak turunkan bag aku tuhh..dah lah berattt...kalau aku baut sengsorang,boleh terbunuh akuuu..Uhuksss..uhukssss...
Alhamdullilahh,another guy who sit infront of me, has help me to take it down AND lift it out from train when we reached Termini Station.Hiks...Muchas Graciasss!!
Andddd..after a chaos and confusion at Termini station ( running up and down ,by elevator/staircase with another 6 ladies who speak english, whom equally as confused as me..),and probably afte lost 2 kilos of weight in that process..I found a place to by a ticket.
And...all the machine only accept credit card.I realise that after I pushed few buttons..destination..napoli..timing..12.49....oh shhhhhh..only credit card?
I had bad experience using credit card abroad,so if possible,for small purchase,I want to use hard cash $$$.I asked the lady beside me.."Only credit card??" ..and she said "Yess,looks like it..",she is American from her accent..
ANdddddddddd...
Out of nowhere...a short guy appear ( too short for an Italian ) and he pointed me "Hi!You can use cash there,to buy ticket.." and I follow him..
"Ohhh..is it..stupid me...thanks..", and I kind of confuse and it took me awhile to think,which button to press..and he suddently come over and press the button for Naples...12.49PM..
Hey!!How coudl he possibly know that I am going to Napoli, and at 12.49PM??
What is he???I didn't see him anywhere nearby earlier..or I was panicked/confuse etc???
**errrr..I am not good in direction ,panicky , kind of person..who will acctually look left,right ..try to read map when I reach any station,and still confuse after 5 minutes..hehheheheh!
So,it is very important to me to stay alert,because I am an easy target of professional pick pocket in Rome..or anywhere..hmm..in europe..errr..the pick pocket job are listed as a "illegal" professional job there i heard..they are so so so professional that u even do not know when they got your things..seriously.
To make my story short ,I got my ticket to Napoli..,he ask for money as he has helped me..So I give him 1 euros..and he wave his hand to me..and dissapeared..
Turned out, I acctually had bought the cheapest train available,so it was a slow train,2 hour 30 mins to Napoli.I board the train at platform no.14.
ehhhh..the train kan..banaykkk gila melalui terowong....GELAP 100% pitch dark...many many timess....dalam train pon tak bukak lampu ok..apa punya system nii...taulah aku cuma bayor 10 euro jer kan...tapi..keji ekk...kalau terowong tuh runtuhh...memang imposisble ok orang nak jumpa ko....
hmm...Balik ker Rome on next few days tuh,terus aku naik Eurostar..It WAS freakingggggg 45 Euro for 1 hour journey !!!!!!
Tried to learn some Italian ..miyahhhahaa..ZZzzzzz..after 5 minutes..kihkih
Reached at Central Napoli Station/Station Garibaldi. (aku susah nak ingat nama station,tapi yg ini senang jeee...Gari...Baldi...ok lah kan ????nak ingat)...
After a bit another confusion of direction that I printed out to reach the accommodation that I have pre-booked earlier..I managed to check-in.MaRRRrrio was helpful and thank god ,he speak english.He lectured me to see the costal side of Napoli bla bla blaaa blaaaaa...dalam kepala ni..I want Pizzaaaaaa..so,i took his advise,except,before seeing the costal side whateverrrrr,I go to De Michele firstttt...He even said "You are the guest,I am the host.I am the one telling you waht to do and what not to do.."
Ehhhhh....helloo sirrrr..incase you forgotttt...I am the one who paying here..
hehehehehehe""""""
It is very near to the place I stayed.Is this the one???I asked the local people there,eventhough I got the direction from the hostel people..hehehe..i am one confusedd ladyy....i told youuuu..
Looks like it..And I saw Julia Robert photo ..confirmedddd!!Sohehhhhhh...sahhhhh!!!
Ini keadaan dalam kedai masa aku sampai,kat belah luar laaaaagggii penuh...nampak tak mamat yg cermin mata atas kepala tuh( botak),dia makan pizza tuh macam tak sampai 5 min dah hilang dari pinggan,dia order extraaaa cheeseeee size bsarrrr...seleraaa betolll...semua orang bersungguh sungguh makannnnn okkkkkkkkkkkkkk......terliur liur aku tunggu pizza aku....**telan air liurrrr
Aku lucky gila laaaa,sebab, lepas aku habis makan,kedai tuh dah kehabisan doh,and nak tutup kedai dahhh...nyesal pulok tak tapau yang Marinara punya type.....
yerr..kedai ni,kalau dah habis dough,wlwlpon awal lagi,dia tutup noks..kalau nak pi,make sure jgn lewat dari pukol 4 petang lahhhh..di takuti,kempunan aja karanggg...
Local say it as De-Mi-ke-le

The Menu..Only 2 types of pizzaaa.
I ordered margherita..NORMAL !Turned out...normal ni lah paling kecik..mak aiiiiii....
I saw people around me...eat them and finish it around 5 minutes...biarrr betollllll...
It came in less then 10 minutes after you ordered..PANASSSSssssss...PANASSSSsssss!!!
Ala-ala cheese dia masih menggelegak gituhhhh ( over ekkkk?)..

"I am going to Naples!!", I said that to myself while reading TOP 10 BEST PIZZERIA IN NAPOLI ,ITALY POSSIBLY THE BEST IN THE WORLD.
And all I heard from the person on my right side cubicle was "wow!Climbing the Himalaya!!.."
And .."Nice place!I have been there twice , and mannn....breathtaking view..but you have to do some training though..its hard but worth it!"..a guy voice from my left cubicle..and in a minute, I got a lecture about climbing a mountain bla bla bla..
Errrrrr......
HOLD ON dudeeeee!
I am not talking about Nepal,but I am talking about Naples, or Napoli, .And I am not ambitious to climb any mountain yeahhhh.Never...errr
But, I am going to Naples to eat..
Ok.Ok...I better use the word Napoli ( Thats how Italian called it) so people don't missunderstood me....
So, pizza was originated in this city.
But, this pizzeria has already been in top rating before the movie was film there..The locals knew it..
“La Vera Pizza” of Naples has a few basic golden rules:
- it can only be cooked in wood burning brick ovens
- the crust has to be soft and light, that’s why the dough is made the day before it’s used, allowing the yeast to rise for at least 10/15 hours
- the pizzaiolo (pizza maker) must be a real maestro, the dough stretching technique is essential and you need at least 2/3 years of apprenticeship to become a pizzaiolo
- The pizzerias that make the traditional pizza “verace” are members of the Pizza Napoletana Association
And,the recipe for Margherita prepared according to a recipe of Italian Chef Raffaelle Esposito,first made in 1899 when Queen Margherita visited Naples.The ingredient is pizza dough ,tomato,mozzarella cheese,basil, (Italian flag ,remember?)..and infact,if you don't follow this,it is against the law.Enough about the boring facts, that everyone can just Google from the internet..
Now, its time to transport myself there...
I reached Fiumicino Airport ,Rome ( Roma) around 10AM ,2 hours 15 minutes flight from Athens,and after the confused baggage claim system ,langguage that I couldn't understand, I got a ticket to Termini, central train station for Rome.
Me: 1 ticket to TeRRrrrmini please?
Guy : Good!14 euros please, and here is your ticket.
**The lady infront of me was pissed off when she pointed "Termini " in her guide book to get a ticket there, and the guy said "How can I sell you a ticket if you can't pronounce it???".
Guy : Say it..TeRRRrrrrmini...
Me,the lady,the American guy behind me.."TERRRRRRRRMini!!!!!
kihkih.
People do not queue!Anddd..mannnnn...I am going to follow the rest...rushhhh in.
And its not a modern train( hmmm..like an MRT in Singapore or atlest Athens) ,but there is a hugeeeee gap between the platfrom and the train,and a small stair case to climb.
And its 14 euros???serious..I am soOOoo want to complain. hahahhaa.
Heloooo..my luggage( err..bag pack ) is so heavy ,that kind of impossible to lift it up.I hate myself for not being able to travel light.Entah mak nenek apa ek aku bawak?????
So,dalam susah payah,aku merempuh lah macam orang lain kannnnnn,kalau tak,sampai besok gaknya aku tersadai kat situh,kebetulan banayk flight baru sampai,ramainya orang ,yarobbiii.
And it was so many people and I couldn't place my bag at the proper place,and its become obstacle to commuter that a guy just lift it up and put it on the overheard compartment..
WOW..Thank you for your kindness..
But...along the journey..aku dok fikir..tinggi siallllll,camne aku nak turunkan bag aku tuhh..dah lah berattt...kalau aku baut sengsorang,boleh terbunuh akuuu..Uhuksss..uhukssss...
Alhamdullilahh,another guy who sit infront of me, has help me to take it down AND lift it out from train when we reached Termini Station.Hiks...Muchas Graciasss!!
And...all the machine only accept credit card.I realise that after I pushed few buttons..destination..napoli..timing..12.49....oh shhhhhh..only credit card?
I had bad experience using credit card abroad,so if possible,for small purchase,I want to use hard cash $$$.I asked the lady beside me.."Only credit card??" ..and she said "Yess,looks like it..",she is American from her accent..
ANdddddddddd...
Out of nowhere...a short guy appear ( too short for an Italian ) and he pointed me "Hi!You can use cash there,to buy ticket.." and I follow him..
"Ohhh..is it..stupid me...thanks..", and I kind of confuse and it took me awhile to think,which button to press..and he suddently come over and press the button for Naples...12.49PM..
Hey!!How coudl he possibly know that I am going to Napoli, and at 12.49PM??
What is he???I didn't see him anywhere nearby earlier..or I was panicked/confuse etc???
**errrr..I am not good in direction ,panicky , kind of person..who will acctually look left,right ..try to read map when I reach any station,and still confuse after 5 minutes..hehheheheh!
So,it is very important to me to stay alert,because I am an easy target of professional pick pocket in Rome..or anywhere..hmm..in europe..errr..the pick pocket job are listed as a "illegal" professional job there i heard..they are so so so professional that u even do not know when they got your things..seriously.
To make my story short ,I got my ticket to Napoli..,he ask for money as he has helped me..So I give him 1 euros..and he wave his hand to me..and dissapeared..
ehhhh..the train kan..banaykkk gila melalui terowong....GELAP 100% pitch dark...many many timess....dalam train pon tak bukak lampu ok..apa punya system nii...taulah aku cuma bayor 10 euro jer kan...tapi..keji ekk...kalau terowong tuh runtuhh...memang imposisble ok orang nak jumpa ko....
hmm...Balik ker Rome on next few days tuh,terus aku naik Eurostar..It WAS freakingggggg 45 Euro for 1 hour journey !!!!!!
Tried to learn some Italian ..miyahhhahaa..ZZzzzzz..after 5 minutes..kihkih
Ehhhhh....helloo sirrrr..incase you forgotttt...I am the one who paying here..

Aku lucky gila laaaa,sebab, lepas aku habis makan,kedai tuh dah kehabisan doh,and nak tutup kedai dahhh...nyesal pulok tak tapau yang Marinara punya type.....
