Spin One London

Woke up this morning & felt like I was hit by a truck. It was all about yesterday .. brought mom et al around London. Covent Garden, Trafalgar Sq, Whitehall, Downing St, Westminster, Big Ben, London Eye, Green Park, Buckingham Palace (Queen ada .. tidor kot, panas2 ni, kena teh pas tu tidor, sure best). By 1600 a bit hungry. Torn between Mesia Hall or Bonda Cafe. Bonda Cafe won, coz i felt like eating mee mamak today. Nak pegi?

Bonda Cafe
190 Sussex Gardens, Paddington, London, W2 1PU
Fon: 02074025111

Sedap, tak tipu.

But getting there from Victoria was hell. No Circle line for such a long time. Decided to take District line .. long story short 2 x 5, 5 x 2 .. change here, change there .. last2 sampai.

Opened the door to be met by stares from a group of Melayus in suits. Some MARA, some HiComm and 2 Datuks. One of them a minister in a ministry where one of my school senior is the deputy. Waiter siap datang, "Bang, kami tutup sekejap for a private function." Aku dah menggelegak, kalau tau baik aku gi makan kebab ke, Mesia Hall ke, dah la kebulur. "Agak2 berapa lama?". He turned to get some idea .. then said, "dalam setengah jam". Tetiba he came back and said, "Diorang kata tak pe,boleh masuk." Haaa, macam tu laa. Later on I found out satu kakak from MARA yg suruh kitorang masuk, coz diorang dah bukan main lama kat situ. I thought so .. tengok coffee + goreng pisang. Kira end of the meal la kan.

But no mee mamak for me .. goreng2 not allowed, bising .. hek eleh. Habih tu kasi menu buat per. Later one mat salleh came in, then quickly out .. told us, no fried kue tiaw today.

Anyway, one or two were menjeling like we were sampah. Amboi, aku jaga korang punya investment tau, kang aku sengaja2 kasi kantol macam Baring Bank baru tau. I knew what they were talking about. Logically OK la, tapi financially will be a bomb. Cerita kat sini? Naaah. May be I'll sell the story to Pete aka RPK. Or not. Kasi free je for old friends sake.

Anyway, letih la. Tidoq koyt.
