Happy Birthday Malaysia!
Malaysia turns 53! woohoooo!
although many Malaysians have migrated, Malaysia is still the place i call home.
there are just a lot of things you can only get in Malaysia.
for example: GOOD FOOD!
Malaysia is unique because of its food.
like the radio ad i hear almost every morning..
'if you're not eating Malaysian food, you're talking about food'
i love Malaysia..
sunny weather, i don't have to put on thick jacket and scarf everytime i go out.
my own darling black car, i don't have to catch the train or tram.
the delicious nasi lemak.
the rain, after a long hot day.
the good coffee place, smoking indoor area.
not too hot, not rainy weather.
the best banana leaf rice with hot ayam goreng.
the usual hangout place, old town white coffee.
then, drive about 90 minutes south to Melaka, Historical State.
nyonya laksa, and cendol is a must!
A'Famosa and Jonker Walk.
closing ceremony at the tea house.
Subang Jaya, where i grew up is the best!
Empire Shopping Mall and Subang Parade.
laksam and sirap bandung.
yummy desserts, Banoffee Pie at D'lish Bangsar.
too bad they are closed now, but they have it at Delicious Bangsar.
take a plane north to Kota Bharu, plus 30 minutes boat ride you'll get Perhentian Island.
dive at warm temperature, don't need to worry about thick 5mm wetsuit.
jump in your bikini or birthday suit! (i don't!)
laze around by the beach, or swing in a hammock accompanied by a book.
drive about 4 hours south to Johor.
good food again! hua mui kopitiam.
butter chicken..nyumm nyummm!
good reasonable coffee at Bangsar.
big american breakfast at La Bodega.
salmon with hollandaise sauce. gulp!
favourite cafe! wondermilk =)
the best ice baby latte in Malaysia
and sloppy joe the hot dog.
fatty crab and garlic prawn.
you can eat there or enjoy it at home where i can sit for hours forcing myself to finish the whole damn crab.
last but not least, the 1Malaysia thingy.
no matter how crazy it looks from the outside or how the media potrays it, Malaysia is a multi-racial country.
i still have good friends who are Chinese, Indian or Chindian.
if i get the chance to meet my Chinese friends, we do discuss about property.
since he likes to invest, he'll give me tips on where i should park my money.
i discuss about Shah Rukh Khan movies with my Indian friends.
or about banana leaf rice :)
sometimes i do think i have a love-hate relationship with Malaysia.
i love it, but hate it at the same time.
there are many things that the government can do to improve Malaysia so that Malaysia can be at the same level as the other developed countries.
don't know how long it will take but i'll wait.
maybe the new and upcoming generation could help to build Malaysia as one.
rather than making a huha about 1Malaysia all the time, but never walk the talk. pfft!
if only our voices could be heard by those government.
despite all that, i do love this country.
Selamat Hari Merdeka Malaysia!
