dear emilyn...
the one thing i'll definitely miss about malaysia...when i'm in the uk...will b its outdoor-ishness...let me explain myself...
1. i'll miss kl's outdoor rail transport system...in other words...kl's putra n star lrt s well s the monorail...the heat n dust from the open stations will definitely contrast the cold n dark subways of london...heh...but more than that...somehow or another...there's a difference between rubbing shoulders with malaysians n brits...take it from me...there's a sense of intimacy brushing each other with nothing but thin clothing in this hot n humid country...compared to a sense of detachment when jostling with the brits in their thick clothing...heh...u could get lost in their jungle of fur!...call me crazy but there's a sense of nostalgia with kl's lrt system...sniff*
2. i'll definitely miss outdoor coffee at starbucks...slurping ice blended chocolate on a warm night...under the moon n stars...while watching people pass by...heh...a favourite malaysian pastime...i know they have it there in the uk...but i'll only b doing that during the summer...can't imagine myself...freezing my butt of while slurping n ice blended chocolate in the cold windy winters of the uk...
3. n one thing i'll definitely miss in malaysia...will b its outdoor mamak stalls!...heh...having a variety of roti such s roti canai (roti kosong) or roti telur or roti planta...milo ice which could kill u with diabetes...maggi goreng which could cause a mycardial infarction with the amount of oil used...
but it's not just the food...but the hanging out part with friends after midnight...also under the stars n moon...but the chilling n talking n laughing...the noisy n loud atmosphere itself doesn't really help much at quelling the talking n laughing that'll normally ensue...expecially when a group of old friends get together to reminisce on the good old days...
can't really picture that in the uk...where shops normally close after what?...3 in the afternoon...during winter...later during the summer...6 in the evening?...well definitely no late night suppers...no late night supper means no late night gatherings...no late night gatherings would mean no laughing n talking...anywayz...i can't picture a group of us chilling in the cold british night at some outdoors cafe...we'll probably b too busy trying to warm ourselves up to even speak to each other...heh...maybe during the summer though...
hmm...but definitely going to miss malaysia...how about u?...u've been in aus for what?...3 years now?...how do u find it?...hope to hear from u soon...
cheers
