onney of cohort5 msged me just now saying that 'yab xbest la bro..'
well i said maybe thats your first impression..
when i was there 1st time, my impression was..
'call me a freak, i just wanna stay inside my room..'
well this is my top 5 list for yab, not uum.. laluan c only
no.5 - college activities
we frequently had activities such as pesta yab, ceramah agama, gigs apa kejadah ntah, football tournament and nasyid kot.. ntah la, too many activities in yab itself..
no.4 - food consumption
during my time, yab and muamalat served nice food particularly lunch..
all the lauk pauk argghh, cheap, delicious and its a good time to get fat..
hmm, we could also have tong yam in yab (maybe one of the best in uum), pak lang nasi ayam or nasi tomato, western food in muamalat.. owh many others actually.. and not forgetting cucuk-cucuk francaise.. i thanked buttercup for introducing me to this awesome food..
no.3 - eufa champions league
ucl seasons are like the time for yab residents to turn nocturnals.. in fact all the colleges around uum facing the same transformation.. all the kaki bola will look for hotspots in yab such as bilik jkpp, cafe and tv room..
the scene was nice as all the chop-chop tempat thing will happen..
some people were here because they just love football, some because they cant sleep, some because they wanna sleep in the crowd, some because they want to msg their other half in the crowd and some just wanna play hp games..in the crowd..arrgghh
i still remember this one guy who claim to be arsenal fan tonite and chelsea fan the nite after.. wtf.. i still remember his favourite tag line.. 'macam takder jer'
no.2 - internet
maybe yab had improved on this.. but i'm not sure..
few years back we used the computer lab.. but no youtube, no metacafe and other streaming vdo
another option would be wireless connection in cafe, but with thousands residents..
hmm.. after 12, many would go to the cafe and try to access from it.. then if the uk come..the favourite tagline would be 'saya nak download nota ni, esok ada quiz plak' and etc.
if the connection failed me and my comrades will roam around the campus for hotspots..
felt like commandos trying to access enemy's top secret.. haha padahal nak ushar kord gtar ja..
no.1 - daily dose of football
main bola like everyday and here i got to play with many good players.. as usual i didnt make it to the team haha
but the experience taught me many things about football and became a better player..
i would say it was a good improvement considering the fact that i rarely touch the ball during my secondary..
here i learnt to play as top or back up striker and it made me aware of positioning, offside, how to beat defenders and opportunist goal scoring.. pippo inzaghi style haha..
and i got to play with my roomate ijat, who once played for bintong fc amateur football club in perlis.. and he is the best footballer i ever played with.. he's like kaka of yab haha
to comrades in yab - ijat, yen, jirun, ustad, shah, naz, ijal, foreed, ijan, hawau, azri, mus, mael, faiz, wan yan, mamu, ca'en, zul, awie and the list goes on........
thanx for the memories
yeah! nasi kandax.
i went out juz now with buttercup and i said i wanna post something on nasi kandax, so here they go..
nasi kandax got its name from a time when nasi [rice] hawkers or vendors would kandar [balance] a pole on the shoulder with two huge containers of rice meals.
for me, nasi kandax is just like hiphop haha, it has old school (traditional and operates around penang) and new school (modern & got branches around Malaysia)
here for more info
my top 5 nasi kandax will be..
no.5 - kassim mustafa jetty branch, chulia street
this outlet is so famous that it was featured a few times in mami jarum movies.
i heard that the keys of their success are their mixture of spices and the penang's water they used to cook their rice and meals.
strategic spot near tourism attractions give them some advantage to be well known internationally.
must try - nasi & kari ayam (probably the best in georgetown)
no.4 - nasi kandar pelita yellow house branch, sungai dua
the best of the new school haha.. since i spend most of my time watching football here, i think they deserve to be in my list..
the first branch of pelita is in chai leng park, butterworth and they started like 11years ago..
now they are global players having a few branches in mumbai and even featured in a tamil movie a few years back.
the staff here give good services, friendly, and are football lovers
must try - dhal & ayam goreng
no.3 - nasi kandar line clear, penang road
yeah, line clear macha.. this is where the name came from'
this nasi kandar is a hotspot for those who work around georgetown
very famous and well-known among tourist and a must visit food outlet for them
it is in old school category and serves the customers with street scene of georgetown
must try - everything haha
no.2 - nasi kandar raffe, pulau tikus
i was introduced to this nasi kandax restaurant by my senior madet and since then i became a regular here
and the best time to be here is at 11 p.m. and above, when this place is so alive..
i prefer to eat here whenever i'm really hungry, huhu
why? because the size of it's ayam goreng, rite after finish eating, you'll feel like sleeping..
ini betul2 bukan cobaan..
must try - ayam goreng (perrrgh)
no.1 - nasi kandar kampung melayu, kampung melayu
yeah..... the best, for those who never experience it, you should..
buttercup, u must agree with this rite?it has 2 branches, 1 in flat kampung melayu (morning only) and another in desa mawar..
no explainations, no arguments, simply the best...period!
must try - everything, yes everything
