Carino's Italian Restaurant, Nile City

it was supposed to be a party of 3 at first but somehow the number of guests got extended to 5 and then 6 and finally at 7! the more the merrier right? ;)

the food were not that good except for the refillable bread (anything free is good wtf) but seriously i am drolling just thinking about the bread dipped into the olive oil NYUMS! but the pasta and lasagna were too bland for my liking. 

hey, don't blame me, blame my melayu tastebud instead.

but most important of all, i enjoyed spending time with them and that's what mattered. :)

internet is a playground

since i am still down with fever and a running nose, i have waaaay too much time in my hands so i decided to walk down the memory lane by browsing through all the tagged pictures of me in facebook. nolah, actually i wanted to remove the tags which were unrelated to me. you know those coming from all those applications.

andddd while browsing one by one i came to these pictures, creatively i must add, edited by this idiot friend of mine who *stole* all these shots from my blogs/ facebook album(s), did a lousy, n00b job of superimpose on it using photoshop and then posted it back in facebook. -_-

but to be honest, i bursted laughing out loud at each pictures. sigh, good times good times. :')

so i thought of sharing them here so that you can laugh at me as well wtf.

this picture was never featured in my blog. i only uploaded it to facebook! picture was taken in dubai airport. i think this was during the year 2009? HAHA! during this time, he was going through the ultraman phase me thinks hence the ultraman superimposed at where my silhouet should be.

omg this one is even old i think! during the era when i was using the black and pink skull theme! LOLOLOL! i remember he MSNed me one day requesting for my watermark .psd file. knowing him, i refused to do so! and since that moment i knew he has something up to his sleeve and it was confirmed a  few minutes later when i had received a notification in facebook WTF.

actually kan, he deserves some pats on the back as he painstakingly printscreened my blog layout and even went to the length of editting the post and inserting the picture of his own hairy legs wtf. (in case you're wondering, this is the real original post!)

and the sidebar! check out the disclaimer on the left side. HAHA! bodoh gila okay ayat paling last tu. -_-

HAHAHA! this is more -___-""""" - inducing okay!!!

i think this was taken when i was going through the mcdonalds phase, some time in 2009 when i visited Giza Zoo! he kept making jokes about me having cheeseburger and stuff hence the hamburglar wtf.

and last but not least...

this is the picture i took in terminal 3 of cairo international airport when i was there to fly back to malaysia! the same year too! in this picture not only he superimposed a notebook in front of the lady in pink (which he claimed as me wtf), he also inserted another friend of mine's face (the standing lady in blue dress) LOLOLOL! and there's also a lady in black that looked like she had been photoshoped there but i couldn't really recognise her.

seriously, i don't know what had i done in the previous (or even in this life), to deserve someone like him as a friend.

go on. laugh. i know you want to.

p.s. if you are thinking of checking out more of my tagged pictures of me in facebook, do cancel that thought. i have privatised them since few months ago already. suckers!

husnu zhon

just as the world is swept with the new epidemic of The Black Plague (sorry Bieber, someone just outcasted you as the mayor of Annoying Town via foursquare wtf) i am not left out s well because right now i am down with the flu which i suspect due to the current transition of the weather in egypt.

i have been planning to go for morning jog again due to all these excessive weights i put on last month in malaysia but somehow my nose is more advanced because it has been running all night long non-stop wtf why am i so punny.

in case you haven't figured out yet, this is me blogging right from cairo in my rented house here surrounded by tissue papers.

and in case i haven't told you yet, before my departure to malaysia last february due to all the protests that had been going on all over egypt, i had unwillingly left my house key with my neighbour because she insisted on fixing the plumbing in my kitchen. it had been leaking for few days but since i was err.. busy with other stuff at that time i had been putting it on my "Do Later" list.

i always have issues with trusting an acquaintance let alone a neighbour apatah lagi stranger kan! after all this is the neighbour who loved to bother me at the wrong time sometimes knocking on my door at midnight just to give me a plate of kosyari and when she saw my groggy face she even had the nerve to ask "oh you were sleeping?" without any guilt wtf.

i tried to reason at first with her, creating excuse after excuse why the repair could wait until i returned back in few weeks time but this time she actually came up with a reasonable one because all the leaking would cause the carpet to become wet and you know right what would happen if you left a piece of clothes wet and unattended for a long time: BAD ODOUR.

so with heavy heart, i gave her my house key and in two hours time, i managed to move all my electrical appliances (everything from the kitchen, living room and stuff) and locked them up in my second bedroom.

so long story cut short, i jetted off to malaysia with a feeling that something bad was going to happen to my house. the thought of the plumber and the neighbour going into my house with their shoes on was enough to give me a coma okay! it was nothing like the western lifestyle please because their shoes were the same one that had been stepping all over the dusty roads in cairo!

and my worse fear was confirmed last wednesday evening when i returned and opened the door i swear la okay my jaw dropped down because the whole floor and furnitures was covered with dust despite the fact that i already locked all the windows in the house!

but luckily when i opened the fridge there was no foreign organism living in there thank you to my awesomeness in being hard headed to not switch it off. the neighbour was bugging me to switch off my fridge before i went back because she was afraid my electric bill would shoot up to the roof but that was the limit for me to step down and said no because i still had food and snacks and whatnots in there!

and when i stepped into the kitchen i figured out who (perhaps using "what" is more appropriate wtf) was the culprit behind all these mess? my neighbour - cleverly i must add - left the window in the kitchen opened after the plumber was done with repairing everything, causing the wind to blow the sand into my house. mahai, i was so angry okay!

so another long story cut short, it took me two days to put my house back into its old glory wtf. moving back the washing machine into its place, panting when i tried to lift the huge glass bookshelves into the living room again and so on.

after two rubbish bags and three boxes filled with unwanted stuff, i finally could sit down and breathe the air of relief. but not for long, because all the non-stop cleanings (exaggerate) and inhaling all the dust causing me to have running nose and fever right now demmit.

so anyway, i was pissed with the neighbour obviously for she was stupid enough to left the window open. haihlah. but just last night i spotted that she actually changed a lot of stuff in the house.

there was a new shiny wall outlet in my kitchen replacing the broken one (not that i didn't take a good care of it, but the outlet was broken before i moved into this place and i just didn't bother to fix it).

my water heater which took ages to heat a tankful of water last time, now actually needs only 2 minutes to give me nice warm flow of water.

and just this morning, as i entered the bathroom i just realised the switch in the bathroom which - again - was broken before i moved into the house (thanks to the old renter wtf) and the old guy simply taped it to secure in its place was also replace with a new one.

and of course, this goes with saying, my leaking pipe in the kitchen was obviously fixed as well.

hmmm... perhaps next time i should give her the benefit of the doubt.

but of course not too much. i still have that trust issues. heh.

monday blues no more

so here i am letting the bag out of the cat EH SILAP the cat out of the bag.

this is what i've been up to during the whole unexpected winter break in malaysia. the reason why i was being busy all the time. and perhaps, abandoned some of the -ships with some people.

that's right people - i was working. a real job. with a pay. in an office. and i can also claim now i KNOW how monday blues feel like and also how you want to jump and punch into the air when friday comes.

anyways, i only managed to work for like a month plus. so i managed to get only a month pay but my boss is super awesome he decided to give me extra ka-chings even though i only worked for 7 days (last picture). :')

all in all it was quite an experience for me. to actually feel how it was like out there being a slave just to get a paycheque and waking up early 5 days a week just to be sure i would punch the card before the bell rang.

and i wasn't joking about the bell thingy.

my boss set up the system to ring when the shift began and then when the lunch break came, another cute song would come out! and the same when the break ended. it felt soooo school-ish to be honest, but at least this kind of things tell me that it was okay not to be so serious in a serious office wtf.

whenever the lunch break ring came, i would joke saying,"yeay! waktu rehat dah tiba!" and when it ended i would say,"murid murid sila beratur dan masuk ke kelas memasing" wtf.

but still having a bell with songs to tell the time. damn cute can?!?

but for now, i think i want to enjoy my student life first - worrying about studies, the finals, and memorizing medical jargons and drugs and treatments.

monday blues can wait for another 2 and a half years.

p.s. btw the table shown in the picture wasn't mine. i wasn't assigned to any particular seat so i had been hopping from a table to table when there was a vacancy (ie, a colleague was on leave or sick) hence, the random stuff scattered all over it. if it is my place, i am definitely going all girly girl cross coolness. ;p

hai bebudak mesir, dont call me Kak Elle ever again. Call me Kak EllePHANT from now on wtf.

saya pro-taher, saya okay

gambar ini adalah gambar di kuliah perubatan university saya. nampak tak ramai ramai tu?

haaa tu bebudak arab tengah buat demonstrasi. gamaknya semua orang arab dah gila berdemo sekarang ni sejak kena virus #25jan sebulan lebih yang lalu.

tak pasti apa punca sebenarnya demonstasi di kuliah kami tapi daripada seorang kawan yang sudah berada di sana, dia cakap demo ini nak mintak timbalan dekan, Dr Taher, untuk letak jawatan. tak pula disebut apa punca timbulnya isu ni.

mungkinkah dr taher ada kaitan dengan hannah montana sebagaimana dr nadia daripada uni cairo?

hmm tak tahulah. sebab kita tak rasa apa yang pelajar arab kuliah saya rasa, apa yang mereka nak rasa tertindas kan sebab saya memang tak pernah nak ambil tahu sangat. selama ni saya pergi kelas jaga kain sendiri je.

cuma nak cakap, setakat ini saya bahagia je berada di bawah pucuk pimpinan dr taher selama ni. kelas yang disediakan cukup selesa, kerusi empuk macam dalam panggung wayang, skrin besar ber-projektor di hadapan, berhawa dingin untuk summer (berkat yuran 8K USD setahun) tinggal nak ada stewardess je baru rasa complete macam dalam flight wtf, para doktor yang mengajar pun sangat berkaliber dan prihatin dengan kami macam anak anak mereka sendiri.

kalau orang melayu akan cakap,"kira cukuplah makan minum pakai semuanya." alhamdulillah.

jadi saya memang tiada masalah dengan dr taher.

persoalannya sekarang, disebabkan saya berpendapat sedemikian adakah saya akan digelar PRO-TAHER sekarang wtf?

p.s. gambar turut dicilok daripada facebook kawan, encik amer imran.

reliving the childhood

no matter how much i have grown up and what's my age, in my heart, genting is still the place where that little girl in the green sweater going round and round in circles on the carousel horse.

i-dah pergi, u-bila lagi?

i-City, shah alam

dear kengkawan

bila aku ada kat malaysia semua sibuk tanya bila nak balik mesir.

dah sampai mesir sibuk tanya bila nak balik malaysia.

hello people, can you make up your mind please. korang nak aku stay kat mana sebenarnya ni? wtf.

haih kawan kawan. nasib baik aku sayang kat korang.

malacca is my second home

currently, there is this joke circulating among my friends about my kenegerian lately.

A who is a (self-proclaimed i must say) penangnite said i am not a penangnite anymore because the last time i went there was two years ago and also because i failed at speaking at their dialect which is not true at all! i just chose to speak utagha with my family members okay.

while B said i am not even an anak nogori because i wasn't born here despite having spend solid 15 years in seremban!

and you know with the current issue of claiming the return ticket money from the state government and stuff, my retort was like,"oi so i should go for which state now lah?!" hahahaha.

obviously A and B weren't much help to that question. hmph!

so i decided to choose malacca now because i have been travelling down to melaka too often i think i can pass off as a malaccan liao right? seriously lah, this was the third or the fourth time i was there in less than a month. and for the first time, we didn't go there for the seafood dinner!

can someone says "say what?" already wtf.

this time we went to melaka for a truly "tourist" experience. i had been bugging DaddehPink to drive me for a revisit trip because it had been since forever i visit those historical a famosa and whatnots! i think the last time i went there was when i joined one of those school trips. and before you people start snickering behind me about me not being able to drive here's the thing: i do have a driving license. i just chose to let someone drive me wtf *denial

fine la fine la. the truth is... i am yet to develop my driving skills. four years of living abroad. obviously i have forgotten stuff lah!

so yeah we went visiting the usual tourist attractions in malacca on one of those a trishaw rides!

pictures gallore!

#1 saw this while i was still in the car on the way to malacca! and i immediately tweeted about how everyone should become a mufti there so that you would get a road dedicated with your name.

actually right, i think malacca has too many amusing random names for places. bukit beruang, durian tunggal, padang jambu, batu berendam etc.


#2 apalah melaka tanpa becanya. i suck at editting the color to make it look i don't know, oldies? wtf. *failed

#3 the christ church. for more information go google it wtf. i took this picture because i loved how the green ice cream cart stood out against the red church only wan.

#4 spotted a newly-wed malay couple there as well. the wife was busy looking around at the stuff on sale and i heard the husband went,"ambil lah gambar dulu apa apa punnn. panas niii." hahahahaha!

#5 random trishaws spotted on the way.

#6 abang beca saya!

this guy was very funny okay. he thought it was my first time to come to malacca so he wanted to bring me to all the places there. and then, when we reached the samudera museum, i only stopped for some pictures and didn't want to go in. he thought i didn't want to enter because there was an entrance fee so he brought me to another memorial building and i simply follow him (more like running after him in my heels wtf, because the place is just nearby from where we stopped) with zero idea where he was bringing me.

he kept telling me "ikut jee! ikut jee!"

and then there we were in front of the (quite boring looking) memorial museum and still, i refused to go in but just to be nice, i snapped a picture of that building lah for his efforts.

and then he dropped the bomb line. "eh ini masuk takde bayaran dik. free!"

wtf you think i am a cheapskate is it?!?! then i told him, i was in malacca just to take some pictures and he went,"oh so you are a photography student is it?" and he continued telling me and MommehPink about all his previous customers who happened to take the same course as me. i was too distracted looking for interesting stuff to capture so i simply agree to whatever he was saying wtf.

#7 a famosa, it's been a while since we met!

#8 street sketcher at work.

#9

#10 passing through rows of shops!

#11 the oldest mosque in malacca, Masjid Kampung Hulu! i remembered visiting this mosque last time!

and just beside it is the oldest chinese temple

#12 i think i spent the longest here taking pictures until MommehPink got tired of waiting for me to be finished.

#13

#14

#15

#16

#17

#18 there was this shop with happy colors interior but photography wasn't allowed inside. so yeah, this was the wall outside the shop.

#19 one last picture of the beca, i promise wtf.

#20 and then we returned back to our starting point, the stadhuys, because one hour had passed. i was too tired to go inside there so i think this picture would do to tell everyone "pinksterz was here" wtf.
