...akan rindu semua ini

for once, i had a pleasure of driving at 40-50km/h. the right hand was holding the steering wheel while the other holding a cup of espresso frappucino. the espresso is essentially to help me burning the midnight oil tonight, like the other nights before. as i'm counting days to leave for hometown, i took a short tour along the route that i usually merayau-rayau. yeah, i sound melancholy tonight.

i'm going to miss a lot of things here, especially the food. of course, for a person who doesn't cook like me. i know almost all makan places here. and yet, everyday i'm complaining don't know what to eat. i'm going to miss my favourite tomyam at Vanggey, the ~25 pieces of prawns in the cheap Nasi Goreng Udang, the skinless satay in Pusat Makanan Tambun, delicious nasi lemak at mamak in Station 18, the best big plate western food at David's Diner and the scrumptious homemade cakes at Indulgence. these are my favourites. ok, no wonder i always whine. there are other places as well but not under my 'favourite' category.

i'm going to miss Siti and Raymond at Starbucks. their services are superb! they always know my favourite coffee before i change to espresso. usually whenever i went there, they will immediately ask me,' tall iced americano with hazelnut syrup and shepherd's pie?'..americano was my favourite because i don't drink milk. anyway, i just knew that espresso frap doesn't taste milk. wasted so much time limiting myself to americano! and the kind Raymond had told me that i'll get 10% off if i issued the J card. eventhough other baristas attended me, they will still call both of them for me. hmm, they are my favourite baristas. any contest for the best barista??for sure i will vote for them. anyway, i have got all the stamp for the complimentary Frap!yeay!!well, i cheated twice..hihi..

i'm going to miss my laundry auntie (oh, i don't really know her name!) at My Expert Garment. her laundry is the best though more expensive than others. she charges rm4 per kilo when others only charge rm2.50. but as a regular customer, she always discount the total sum for me. dah la friendly..my clothes never have the typical dryer smell after been washed, and it's oh-so-soft. i hate bau pengap baju yang masuk dryer. she's not like the other one. dah la tak ada change rm50 at the end of the day, and yet that lady asked me to pump in some petrol at nearby petrol station.

i'm going to miss clinic staffs in Station 18. i've been doing locum in that clinic for more than a year. they never be calculative with me, and easy to deal with. if not because of them, i wouldn't have the chance to spend lavishly for my monthly retail therapy.

being alone here has taught me how to be a survivor, since the first day i reached Ipoh. no friends-no family- no money-involved in accident with my 1-month old car. perfect!!and going anywhere alone or eating outside alone is not a big deal for me.

anti-climax: i'm not going to miss my left side neighbour but i know they are going to miss me. miss peeping me through their sliding door..prrfffttt!!
