'Layan' With a Capital L



The things that makes me go weak in the knees, go 'ga-ga' on the inside, and give me those tingling sensations:

+ 100% pure juice. No preservatives. No sugar added. Kalau ada pulp lagi bagus.

+ Pineapple juice.

+ Gingel ale with a twist of lemon.

+ Kopi 'O Ais in the morning! To hell with all your stupid fancy Italian/French-named coffee.

+ Gawa or the kopi Arab some old Arab in an igaal would give you for buka puasa at the Masjidil Haram. It's like a slap in the face. The good kind.

+ Reading while taking a shit. My lifetime total would equal to three novels and countless Doraemons.

+ Correctly predicting the lines movies/TV shows.

+ Nyanyi dalam shower. Kurik Kundi is exactly 5:33 minutes long so singing it according to every note as per the mp3 would mean I do not spend too much time in the shower. Bagaikan Puteri is 4:52. I'm usually off by 3 seconds but cukup tepat a tu.

+ Honking assholes on the road. This one's a rare pleasure. You'd need 1) an asshole on the road and 2) be cekap enough to find the asshole (and maybe even be in a position in which the said asshole could harm you) and slam the horn. Sumpah layan gila when you feel right and you're patronizing a wrong person.

+ Harassing football fans when their team gets screwed. I fear the day when Man Utd will kantoi big time. I am not a glory hunter for supporting Man Utd. That goes back to my dad who studied in University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology (UMIST, now back to being part of UM).

+ Gayut telefon. It's been a while now... I've kinda lost my touch. Kejap je dah lenguh.

+ Nasi putih, sup ekor, ayam goreng cili/kari ayam, and ikan masin diperah limau nipis.

+ Kailan ikan masin (hooyeah!).

+ At the right time, at the right mood: fried chicken.

+ Pizza with anchovies.

+ Menghidu bunga-bungaan. This tree is in bloom even before the others have leaves. Harum gila. A nice sight on my way to class every morning.
