Bertemu orang Siong dan my namesake di Restoran Bihun Sup

11 Sept 2008

Saya jarang-jarang menginap di Hotel Vistana, KL.

Kali ini, ada tugas dan menginap di sini untuk tugasan esok. Untuk berbuka puasa, saya singgah di Restoran Bihun sup popular berdekatan Hotel Vistana.

Sedang saya makan, sepasang suami-isteri masuk. Oleh kerana restoran sesak, saya menjemput mereka duduk di meja saya. Ketika dia menelefon, saya dengar bunyinya seperti orang Kedah. Saya bertanya dari mana?..jawabnya.. Kedah - Baling - Siong - Kg Baru --- yakni kampung kelahiran ibu saya! Saya masih mempunyai ramai saudara mara rapat di sana! Riuh rendahlah kami buka cerita orang kampung..

Kemudian seorang cina penjual talipinggang dan dompet singgah di meja kami. Setelah saya membeli sesuatu daripadanya, dia memperkenalkan dirinya,.. "Assalamu alaykum, saya Omar Abdullah...."

Two times stucked at Smart tag Tol gate

16 August 2008:

I do not have/use smart tag. Today I was with a friend on his Merck with Smart Tag.

As we are approaching Kempas tol plaza, a fast sports car just in front of us got stuck at the smart tag lane..

In the next tol plaza (skudai), a Myvi cut in just front of us into the smart tag lane just before the gate. The car has no smart tag and we all had to reverse all the way!

Two times stucked at the smart tag gate in a span of a few minutes? Deja Vu!
