Yee ‘O Lost Souls

So we went. Although our host arrived a little later. Okay, maybe not a little, but a lot. But it’s not too late. Either way, I brought cake to his house. Four slices of them. He took us to his apartment by bus and the bus conviniently stopped in front of the apartment. Even though it was already some time before 3 he hadn’t cooked yet. He said he can’t cook and pick us up at the same time. Well the actual reason is that he overslept :P.

I forewarned him I won’t help him cook. I can’t cook and I’m no good at cutting onions. So he cooked while we explored his house. His unit was smaller than ours, but I like the look and feel of it. The kitchen is very small and cramped, but the flooring on the rest of the house is greyish marble and the bedrooms had parquet flooring. Unlike ours, everywhere is boring white tiles. He lives alone in the master bedroom. Sighs.

I wish I had his room. The only defining feature of my ‘master bedroom’ is that it has an en-suite bathroom. His apartment is quite nice-looking, classier than ours and has a nice view of the hills. sighs. Just look at the swimming pool!

The shape of the pool is self-explanatory, but look at the well-manicured gardens surrounding it! It looks like it was taken out from a part of a resort somewhere! Still though, I must say the facilities at our hostel apartment is better. At least we have more shops in the base level and better Internet services. And getting to college from this place requires some effort.

As they say, humans are never satisfied. Hahaha.

I said before I wasn’t gonna help with the cooking but I did help put on his bedsheet for him. The lazy ass has been here for two weeks and he still sleeps without bedsheet and pillow case. Other than that, I was watching TV and talking to his online friends. As him. Hehehehe.

Our host, slaving away in the kitchen.

The end results look like this. It’s some Omani food. Chicken and potatoes with coconut sauce. It’s good :D.

This other one didn’t quite make it. It’s like a wheat and chicken porridge if you ask me. He made so many ‘alterations’ and ‘corrections’ to it that it ended up tasteless with a strong hint of vinegar. To be honest, the way he kept flipping through the cookbook kinda worried me too.

I didn’t even get to find out how that thing is supposed to be eaten.

So after the cooking was done, we finally ate at about 5-something. A lunch has become an early dinner. But well, our host was proven a good cook :D.

I had a second helping of those chicken and potatoes afterwards.

Tis but a simple meal. But living as I am right now, I’m pretty grateful having food cooked just for me. That’s why I try to avoid eating those ‘nasi kandar’ things. The food are always cold and lukewarm.

That was one of the nicest meals I’ve had here. Thank you Tariq!

After we done eating, we basically just lounge around his place and watching TV coz his house has Astro and Animax is a free channel. Our host then returns to talking to some of his online friends as…well, himself. Hahaha.

He tried to impress us with his non-existent guitar playing, but it was the effort that counts.

Some time after our meal we had cake. It was Aoi’s birthday after all so mine was a little special :D. I know Totchi is waiting for this. Hahahaha.

The cake was Caramel Cream Cheese cake I bought from Secret Recipe hehehe. I even went to Sushi King especially the day before just to get one of those toothpicks to make the stickie. Either way, I had a good lunch there hehehe.

We stayed over till about 9 and our host sent us home driving his friend’s very Ah Beng-like car.

Till this day I cannot believe that I had ridden such a noise polluting machine.

And when I got home I bought a plunger and took care of my toilet problems. I’m so proud of myself.

Well that’s it, report over.

Conclusion: Although we didn’t do much there, I still had fun visiting and expanding my horizons since I haven’t been to that part of town. Since then I’ve made a vow to try and visit all of my visitable friends :D. Next weekend I plan to go to Shah Alam :D. Wait for me!

Here’s me, signing out!

Ta’ra!
