Seani Sevierim Turkiye..---> SIR MEHMED


My last entry's suck!
With grammatical error + spelling + micro pics..
My following entry will be uploaded with pictures too..

This very fatherly man named Mehmed.
In front of him we call him Sir, but behind we call him uncle.
hihi..

A turkish but live in London for already 4 years.
40 years old. Single.
A Manager of a Thai Restaurant in London.

Where was this man came from?
We met him in a metro on the way to Topkapi Palace.
Actually Topkapi Palace's in Sultanahmet, not in Topkapi.
In other words, we were in a wrong direction.

So,the only option we had is to visit Panorama Museum in Topkapi.
Fortunately he's going to the museum too.
And he volunteer to take us there and explain what he knew.
(Free touristguide)
Hahaha.. Our colleges from other places paid 35USD for halfday touristguide and we got it for free!
By the way Sir Mehmed studied History & Political Science.
And he knew a LOT about all the amazing infos that you might not find in books.
All the explanations in the museum were in Turkish.
If we didn't met Sir Mehmed, we just wasting our money then.

After museum-ing.. He gave us his map, all his brochures for us.
And we also exchanged phone number.


Until one day, when we decided to visit GALATA TOWER, we called him for direction.
He seemed very worried. But we managed find the tower .
Until we met him again on the way to Mahmud Pasa.
He brought us there..
By the way. . Mahmud Pasa is the real place for shopping!
Get your mental ready before u go crazy there.

And after that, we went to Eyub..
A hills of dead. On top of it were restaurants and hotels.
We took a cabel car.
The view from the top was awesome! At night..
He introduced us some traditional drinks and food named sahlep.
It's delicious.
About the food..
looks like pancake with cheese and spinach inside it..
Perfect!

We finished about 10 p.m.
Very kindly, he escorted us until in front of our hotel to make sure we safe.
And extra kindly, he helped me with my shopping luggage! hihi..

The next day which was the last day,he came to our hotel to say goodbye to us.
We'll miss u Sir Mehmed..

May Allah Bless You.

HIM WHO I LOVE SOOOO MUCH

MOHAMAD YUNUS BIN ZAINUDIN
10 February 1956


Abah...


Abah saya memang lain dari yang lain.
Abah saya seorang yang 'Family Man' Abah x suka keluar lepak2 dengan kawan2 kat kedai kopi.
Kalau kawan ajak jumpa pun abah akan tolak.
A
bah lebih suka habiskan masa di rumah, dengan anak2..

Layan kerenah anak2 dia yang tah hape2 ni.
Banyak ragam.
Abah saya suka masak. Dan masakan abah sangat sedap.

Kecik2 dulu, abah ade masak nasik goreng warna kuning.

Abah kata nama nasi goreng tu "Amore DeCosto"
Maka,kami pun makanlah dengan seleranya.

Dah besar baru abah bgtau itu nasi goreng biasa je.
Saje taruk nama pelik2 supaya kitorang nak makan..

Saya baru tahu tahun lepas.. hahaha!!

Masa time exam, lagi terharu.
Saya study, abah yg suapkan makanan.

Sampai SPM pun mcm tu.
Kalau saya lapar, saya akan merengek kat abah mintak abah masak..

Dah kat mesir ni, abah ajar saya memasak online pula..
Abah sangat sayang anak2 dia..
And,janganlah sesiapa kacau anak dia.
Those who mess with us means you're messing with my abah
Pernah ade satu waiter tu sampai nak nangis abah buat sebab waiter tu kurang ajar dgn kami..

Serve u right!!
Kami selalu tenangkan abah.
Mana yang kami kesian,kami x bagi abah marah dia, so abah x marahlah.

Kalau yg mmg kurang ajar tu, kami yg suruh abah marah.


Abah agak tegas orangnya.
Tambah kalau org tu buat benda tak logik.

Mmg akan kena dgn abah.
Abah is a strict bossss!

Kerja mesti sistematik.

Abah is a very good driver..
Kami panggil abah pegawai JPJ.

Sebab cara abah memandu sangat berhemah.
And banyak sangat petua2 memandu xnak bagi kereta rosak. Saya pernah berangan nak buat international licence kat abah.

Tp harapan tinggal impian.
Abah takkan benarkan..


And saya x boleh kalau abah marah saya..

Saya akan rasa sedihhhh sangat.
Rasa macam abah x sayang saya.

Sebab abah jarang sgt marah.
Jadi, bila abah marah saya, saya akan merajuk.

Saya merajuk teruk & lama pulak tu. Boleh cecah 2 minggu. Sampai abah balik kecik hati..
Kakak Mintak Maaf ye bah...

Saya dgn adik selalu kacau abah.
Kami selalu tanya " Abah,Kakak dgn Adik, sape lagi cantik?"

Tak pun " Abah, abah sayang sape lebih? kakak ke adik?"

Saje je kacau abah.. suke tgk muka abah xtau nak jawab mcmane.

Abah akan jawab..
'anak abah mestilah semuanya cantik'
'2-2 lah abah sayang'.
Tapi kami suruh abah pilih..
If abah cakap sayalah yg cantik or sayang,
adik akan kate "APA??!!!!"
pastu abah kate "Eh..Eh.. x..x.. Adik..adik.."

Pastu saya pulak "APA???!!!!"
"Eh..eh.. adik..eh..kakak..! Ish..adik dgn kakak jgnlah tanya soalan mcm ni.."
Lepas tu saya dgn adik masuk bilik & gelak2!
hahahaha..


Oh,kakak just nak cakap ....

SELAMAT HARI JADI ABAHKU SAYANG

Kakak mintak maaf dari hujung rambut sampai hujung kaki. Halalkan makan minum kakak. Semoga panjang umur murah rezeki.

I LOVE YOU DAMN MUCH DAD!!

Ada Apa Dengan Rock Kapak??

The Greatest Rock Kapak So Far..


Ada Apa Dengan Rock Kapak? Yaa.. Ada apa dengan rock kapak?
Hmm.. Saya mmg suka dengan rock kapak.

Sangat suka.. Mcm mana saya boleh suka lagu rock kapak ni pun saya tak tahu. Saya rasa saya membesar dgn lagu2 rock kapak.
Lagipun Balang Bangah selalu pasang lagu rock kapak.
And.. Kami adik beradik selalu karaoke ramai2 dalam kereta lagu rock kapak.
So,kebanyakan lag rock kapak saya tahu.
Ramai jugak kawan2 yg pelik mana saya tahu lagu2 rock kapak ni.


Well,keluarga kami universal. Mak & Abah suka lagu 60-an.
Pastu selalu dengar siaran 'Klasik Nasional'.

Klasik Nasional tu plak keluarkan lagu dari
zaman tok kaduk, 30-an, 40-an, sampailah 80-an.
Jadi boleh kata saya tau semua jenis lagu.
Along suka dengar lagu2 anita sarawak & exist.

Bangah suka lagu2 lama org putih (yg ni pun saya suka) dengan rock kapak. Balang suka lagu2 indie & rock kapak.
Saya suka english todays big hits,mariah carey,air supply,michael learns to rock, and rock kapak..

Adik pun suka jugak rock kapak.
Dia suka lagu2 teenage style..


Okay,back to our topic!
Kenapa saya suka lagu rock kapak?
Sebab lagu2 rock kapak ni iramanya lebih catchy..
And lirik masih bagus. x merapu seperti sekarang.
Yang penting.... ada banyak nama 'INTAN'!!
hihihi Tak percaya?
Okay,let me give you few examples..

A few only.. ada banyak sebenarnya.
Its just bad to be boastful right?


Suara Awie mmg sgt sedap..


1) Wings - Lena Diulit INTAN

---> Oh tiada terbanding indah
Sewaktu bersamamu INTAN

Hilai tawa terpancarlah

Oh sinaran keinginan

2) Wings - INTANku kesepian

---> Kerana engkau
Intan yang ku sayang
Akan ku terus
Menunggumu Intan



3) Yantzen - Pesan cakawari
*this is a very nice song*

--->
cakawari pernah berpesan
kilauan INTAN dan kaca
kau pilihlah seadil mungkin..



4) Mercury - Kamus Asmara

--->Sayang selasih tuan
Tumbuh di hujung taman

Mekar bersendirian

Sayang kasihku INTAN

Harum sepanjang zaman
Biar kau milik orang

5) Slam - Entah Mengapa

--->Kilauan kaca engkau sembahkan
Pada hatiku engkaulah INTAN
Pentas lautan ku jadi taruhan
Sanggup ku lemas hanya untuk mu


Now, see? I told you right?
okay,try to replace the word INTAN with MAIMUNAH or SARKONAH..
How does it sounds?
Hehehehe..


p/s : Org yg baru lepas putus cinta tidak digalakkan dengar lagu rock kapak sebab anda akan frust menonggeng,guling guling..
