Durian Duran

I wonder why certain people couldn’t stand the smell, let alone the taste, of durian. I was having a small durian party with my lil sis when my nephew asked what was that smell. He said he didn’t like the smell. Guess he’s like his mommy, my elder sis hates durian. She’s the only one in my family who’s anti-durian. My late father is the biggest fan and he introduced the king of fruits to us when we were small. Thanks Aboh! =)

To me, durian doesn’t smell bad but I could not say it smells sweet like berries too. It has its own smell, durian fragrant. Some people can stand the smell but would not eat it. Well, to me, it can be sweet and still, sweet in its own way. That’s how I smell and taste durian but for the people how dislikes the fruit, I wonder what’s the smell and taste of it to them. To those who hate durian, care to tell me?

Right now, I’m craving for ‘pulut durian’. Yum!

and that's that

Playground in Telipot

I went to the playground with my niece and nephew today. The weather was nice. It was just after rain and there was a rainbow in the sky. Not too many kids at the park, guess it was because the school term had started. So my sis and I took the chance to have some fun. We played on the see saw and looked like a bunch of giant babies. Hehe. Then we took turns to play on the swing. I really love the swing. Even when I was small, I would swing higher than others because the adrenaline excites me. The feel of the wind breeze as I swing always makes me high. And I would for sure smile all the time. I don’t know why but I still do that, smiling while swinging.

When we were on the see saw, I was talking to my sis about the playground where we used to play when we were kids. It was near my grandma’s house in Telipot. Back in the days, when my grandma was still around, my cousins would come back to KB during the school holidays. Everybody would be there and there would be slumber party for weeks. So every evening, we would walk to the housing area at the back for our playground time. We would first stop at ‘Kedai Keling’ (we used to call that shop by that name, nobody was being racist) to get ourselves some snacks. When everybody’s geared up, then only we would cross the street to the playground. It’s a big playground with everything. The swings, slides, monkeys bars, a giant caterpillar and some other stations that I can’t remember. As we play, we would have breaks for our snacks. Ais-krim Malaysia, Super ring, Bika, air botol perisa oren and sarsi, asam, mamee and other junk food that every parent would not approve of. Before going back to the grandma’s house, we would make sure that everybody finished their junk food because we don’t want any ‘evidence’ to be brought back. =)

My sis said that the playground now is not well maintained. Grass and weeds are growing wildly and the place smells bad. Some people say that drug addicts are leaving there too. I really miss that playground. I miss the ‘guilty pleasure’ junk food, the swings, my cousins and the good times we used to have. I can say that I had a pretty fine childhood days. Hope that my future kids will be as fortunate as I am.

“….dalam rancangan….BOLOS!!!....”

Who loves that show?? I do! Because of Zizan. 
Yesterday, my brother was invited to be a contestant in the show and he brought me and my sister along. It was my first time in a production set. I thought the set was big but it was small. And the audience were, erm, I think they were paid to be there. A bunch of school boys with ‘karat’ hair-do. Rempits I guess. But they know how to make noise. That’s what the audience is for. But me and my sis, we were somehow got annoyed by those boys. Yuck…

But it didn’t matter. I was there to support my brother’s team. He and his other two friends from Astro and the competed against ‘Chaiyok chaiyok’ team, which were Khai,Haziq and a rather soft male make-up artist called Fizzy. Owh, my brother’s team was known as X FM because they’re the host there, I think. But my bro and his friends didn’t use their real names. They were known as Silver Surfer, Ninja X and Space Boy. Typical of them. Hehe.

Well, what I can say is that, the moment they came out from the changing room wearing their suits, my sis and I couldn’t stop laughing. It was funny. They are all skinny and looked like aliens. Thanks to silver colour. And then they started to ask among temselves why did they say yes in the first place. Hehe. But it was for entertainment.

The recording of the show took several hours and all that will be aired on the tv is only an hour of it. Now I know that showbiz is not easy. Zizan looked really tired. He would only talk a lot when the camera was rolling but if it isn’t, he would be quiet most of the time. He said that he had 4 recordings that day and it was already 8.30 pm at that time. But he was still funny.

We all had fun. Watching my bro fell into the water and broke the wall was priceless. If I knew that I can invite my friends to come and be there too, I would call up some of you guys to join me. I’m sorry. Whatever it is, don’t forget to watch it on tv ok? Hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I did =)
