of terengganu and kelantan

This is not about the final FA Cup last night because commenting and analysing a football match is not even in my radar. Congratulations to the Terengganu team! You made it to the final and won!What had made last night's match special and nostalgic was the connection between the Trengganuians and Kelantanese. To outsiders (orang luor),many of them cannot differentiate the slangs that of Terengganu and Kelantan. The undefined connection between the Kelantanese and Trengganuians can be translated in many different ways but not through the language. We speak differently except for the people living in the northern part of Terengganu, namely in Besut and Setiu who speak Kelantanese slang with very strong accent till their counterparts in the southern area (Kemaman and Dungun) cannot understand. However, most of the times, when Kelantanese and Trengganuians speak, they understand each other. And the orang luor, you just have to watch and listen. If you want to get in the boat too, prepare to be laughed at. I am still looking for the common similarities that make the Kelantanese and Trengganuians have special bonds apart from the geographical factor. It is maybe in the food. The food are extremely sweet in Kelantan. Another thing to be acknowledged by the orang luor, nasi dagang and keropok lekor are mostly come from Terengganu. They are our special cuisine but are very famous in Kelantan too. The same thing goes to nasi berlauk and nasi kerabu -they are Kelantan's but very famous in Terengganu. Nasi kerabu in Kelantan is the best with its ayam percik. If you see blue or purple-coloured rice, then it is nasi kerabu. Well, to think back, apart from the geographical factor, I must say that food is what both Trengganuians, Kelantanese and the rest of Malaysians share. Maybe because orang luor keep labelling Trengganuians and Kelantanese as the same group of people that we always find comfort with each other. Missing budu anyone?

lalalalala!!!

here i am,back to blog...it is very long since the last time i posted something here.well,i was really busy fixing and changing my life and there is a lot of things happened for the last 2 months.lots of drama and lots of unwanted stories as well.i'm now at new place,far from my family and of course,everything must be done accordingly,only then my life will not be too messed up.to put it in a more clear picture,i'm working right now.though it sounded pretty weird,considering me myself,a spoiled brat and a mentally-weak person which easily melts down under pressure,people would feel very astonish if they see me working as a waiter at the nearby restaurant.the worst of all,i never had any working experience...but what can i say...its already happened.well,the reality is,people would change and when i decided to start working,i knew,i've changed for good.thanks to sahaful for always giving me advise and always be on my side when i need your guidance.now,my life is back on the track again.as for now,i'm surviving at shah alam whilst waiting for degree.at first,i thought that it was the most downright stupid mistake when i made the decision to move to shah alam but then i knew,it was something i was destined for.i knew it happened for the reasons.i try to be positive.my working days wasn't always funtastic and fantastic,to boot,all the workers there are Bangladesh except for me.can you guys imagine it,me myself is the only malay that happened to work there...huhuhu...it was very hard especially at the beginning.back then,i felt so apprehensive,not because i'm afraid that i would be deface or something...or i'm unwillingly to cooperate with them or anything that you might think it is...especially when working with such people...i just worried that there would be many miscommunications would happened between us.gratefully,it went on a smooth ride.such a good start for me,a freshie.no problems at workplace.moving on,my life is at peace.i'm so satisfied.what matters now is mental toughness.i hope that i could hold much longer.also,i really hope that i can adjust more better and even more quicker.yeahh...go khalid!!!
