Salam et bonjour,
Whaaddduuuppp?
I'm back and yet in a new academic year.
And in a new trimester.
A long trimester one.
=.="
So, what happened during the looonnnggg break?
A lot of things happened.It was one of the bittersweet holidays that i have been longing
for so long during my studies.

Yeah, had lots of coffee when i went back home. A few cafes, well not cafe...more like kopitiam, as they are more laidback style, where people hang out with friends and family without worrying if you wear the wrong types of clothes. I would feel awkward especially when lunch times come as i would only wear my simple shirt and jeans while the others were dressed in proper smart looking clothes.*gaaahhh!! I would either just look at one direction or i just play around with the tableware to avoid any contacts with surrounding*
The best place for me to enjoy my caffeine intake is tJantek Bistro.
So, every year, at least once or twice i would spent a few hours there, talking and drinking coffee with my mum and my sister, or even my sister and i would entertain people who come to our hometown for this cafe-slash-bistro-slash-the art people of Kuantan-meet-up.
I don't really bother to talk with them since they're the top people. And i don't want to get into any art trouble later on or i'll get lectured. =.=".
I can see that most of the crowd that goes there are young adults and some elderly people that seek new place to hang out with each other.
Well, i just go there for the sake of the drinks.
All the drinks, food are delicious.
The deco is super awesome as the building is an old building.
It was a pre-war building that the owner preserved.
Some of the stuff is like pre-historic; it has the same cupboard *except that refurbished a bit* like grandmum's and put some other art cool stuff in it.
It's hardly to find some place to seek sometimes in Kuantan that is quiet and get hidden from other people. For me, the place is where i wish to be everytime it rains. Since decor + ambiance are quite dark-ish, if there is rain, the zinc rooftop flows the water to thesmall man made aquarium that sounds like fountain. thajazz+bossa nova songs are everywhere,all the coffee has the same standard as Starbucks, but much cheaper *How's that? It's locally well-made* The owner is really nice, she's a family friend and the husband is an architecture lecturer at a college and a part-time artist.
I love most of his paintings though they're abstract, but the choices of colours are interesting. I think these kinds of place should be more in Kuantan.
:)
I can't recall the name of the drink,
but something that is mocha, it has the taste of bitter like cocoa and some coffee.
But it tastes really gewd!~ :)
I also had some cooking being done. My house got noisier again when my nephew and his wife plus their son came, *yeah, you might feel weird, how the hell i got a nephew that has a son already, i'll tell later if i have space and time* This time around, i have learnt how to cook Mee Soto. First time attempt.
The best part is that, the things that compliment Mee Soto other than the usual are lightly fried crabs as well as prawns.
I was happily smiling while eating them. It's been awhile i felt the warmth of eating at the huge table with my family. I rarely get that feeling since it has been the three of us most of the time.
All i can say, at least i could see some huge smiles on some other faces to gladly see each other.
:)
Mee Soto and other dishes
Ze crab.
*I think my mum put the Jaw's card at
the crab's claw without me knowing*
So, now, i'm about to talk about my complicated family.
Yerp, my family is complicated and huge.
Which means that both my mum & my dad's side are extremely huge.
I am bad with names and faces that i am the furthest in the family or people calls me
the lost child *anak sesat*. Imagine after 12 years not getting a child, and suddenly a baby pops out in the vagina.
I guess i can imagine my mum's phrase that time, firstly, would say "Alhamdulillah, another child." But, somehow at the back of mind i would also think my mum would also say something like "What the hell?"
I would just laughed at that idiotic thoughts.
My instant grandson,Alif.R.
He's half Chinese, half Malay.
He doesn't speak Chinese which is quite pity.
You must be weird i have a nephew with a son that calls me grandma *tokchu as im the youngest in my siblings*
There was this one time when my elder sister saw the grandson called her *tokchik;she's the third in the family*in the middle of midvalley megamall.
Well, all i can say that my family is quite big. It's not only consists of a pair of parents
and other 5.
Both my mum and my dad have a pretty huge family. It started from generations before
when there were terms like one mother, different dads, then one mother one dad, and etc etc etc.
When raya comes and everyone gathers, i would get headaches. Even, when my dad passed away, they would come up to me and asked if i remember some of them, and as usual, i would be the ones like *huh?*
My dad is the last in the family of 3, but *there's a but* he has other siblings from other dad or mum that made the family bigger.
That is why i have cousins that is almost the age of my mum and nephews or nieces that's older or similar age with my siblings. And now i have 'instant' grand children. How's that? I remember of having one part of family that have 16 siblings.
I also have another family that is both my parents related to that have 10 children. Same the 10 children are my cousins that's far older than me. And the best part is that one of my cousins child that is my nephew actually studies under the same uni, under the same faculty and has graduated last august that i didn't know exists. I didn't know which one since their faces are similar.
XD
The smaller family is the second cousins.
They're just the family 5 siblings. They're the hip family since their age is around my siblings age.
While the youngest in the family is younger than me by two years.
They're the happy and full of laughter crowd that we always meet whenever we can and i can say they're the far gorgeous bunch compare to me *well, i choose not to since i'm considering i'm under-age, and haven't earn any own expenses*
There are other family members that i can't recall.
Yet, recently, i've missed one of the best raya open house that my sister got the chance to go.
It's like a huge family gathering.
Surprisingly, there is a picture my sister took of my mum and her cousin side by side. If people wouldn't know, they looked similar they would be mistakenly be like sisters. That family is beyond complicated that i don't or can't compute in my mind because it involves bigger people.
I think the current one is complicated than ever.
I'm just imagining if my sister gets married, 80% of the wedding crowd are my family and the rest family's friends and neighbors.
So, how about yours? Do you have a crowded family as mine?
Ok, I'm off to settle off some of my homework.
Will post another one again.
About some other stuff i did during the holidays.
See you soon.
Current mood : Subtle as the weather is *it's breezy after rain feel* This is the time i want my caffeine!
Currently listening to : Rocketeer *one of the best colab ever by FEM!*
