Berlin ist Super-awesome~! (Part one)

Assalamualaikum! Ohmigod its been such a long time! An alternative title for this post would be "overdue menstrual cycle" (siapa nda tau kenapa, tanya si Rabz). But yeah, aku atu kiranya kan pencen wah dari blogging ani. Inda tercari masa kan duduk dapan laptop and bekurapak arah skrin ah. But anyways, this post will be an intro to the great GREAT time I had d Jarman amnya dan Berlin khususnya. Shout out to Ali, Rabz (i mentioned u second coz u kata ud rindu Ali rather than me >:p he's in canterbury for crying out loud! haha nothing personal), Imah, Huda and especially Uncle Ali, Auntie Noriah and Kaka Haslin!! (Who has been the brilliant brilliant company/hostess for the whole trip, kami sayang kaka! Tanpa kaka siapa lah kami!) Anyways, this post will be a short, and mainly pictorial intro to the trip.. Pics used are from the first day we were in Berlin.

Right, we arrived early morning (4am i think) at Luton airport. The morning at the airport started with us sleeping at the benches there (Si Imah gambar aku tidur!! Mun ku tau ku gambar ia tidur LANGAP LANGAP dalam kerita.) But nda apa, sabar saja kan.. pakal saja senyuman mu menawan hati.. Haha. ;p

Wardrobe malfunction started the day off pretty well..

There were also cases of men doing not so manly things (guys got to moisturise too!!)

Gila laju eh tangan si Ali pakai losyen ah..

Yeah, sampat lagi begambar wah dalam airport ah. Sorang sorang kelaparan. Maklumlah, easyjet KARIT nada makanan. (At this point id like to point out si Ali masak pasta and i had it di Brunei hall. Was quite good! Thanks bro!) When we arrived at Berlin Schoenefeld, the weather was quite warm and we were greeted by Danny, who also drove us to the residence of our host, Uncle Ali.

Sunny day and kana tagur coz aku begambar arah airfield time baru landing tadi.. Nda sampai lima minit, buat pasal tia udah..

Lapas samapai d rumah uncle Ali, we were shown to our rooms, and guys and girls had separate rooms and showers. Just to point out, there was one day where i had four showers (yes, the shower was THAT good!!) We wanted to head out somewhere that day jua so we went to visit Sanssouci palace. Lawa tempatnya nyanta!!

Left to right: Rabz, Ali, Yang di muliakan Muhammad Adib Hashim, Doktor Kaka Haslin Ali dan Huda

Kuning coz national colour abisdorang..

Introducing the aforementioned Imah, note the smile.. Haha

Lawa sarung tangan saya? (Glove pinjam..)

And the weather got warm..

Meanwhile, the naked statues did their thing..

...and Ali did his..

Ahh, love was in the air.. (Smelt an awful lot like the diesel fumes from my Kia Carens..)

..but all jokes aside, this was a beautiful place..

Excessive amounts of nudity aside, this was a beautiful place..

...I mean, just look at it.. Tak lawa ke tu?? (click to see larger image)

...Ada beautiful people..

Its even got an awesome windmill!! (not that awesome banarnya, didnt move an inch while we were there. Verily, it was the most passive windmill ive ever seen..)

We taught Rabz a lesson in being discreet once in a while, tapi macam nda berapa berhasil..

It was a tiring day but it was a magnificent start to the trip! Lapas abis di Sanssouci (pronounced sand sushi) we went home and got ready to have dinner with Uncle Ali and family at this turkish restaurant.. The food was the bomb!! Me and Ali oredered this meal that concisted of two strips of kofte with rice. Dalam gambar on menu damit saja.. In real life, basar hantap!! Terpedaya kami.. And sambalnya padas! Kalah sambal nasi katok ku! Those who know me will not be surprised that i was sweating buckets due to the padasness.. Tapi nyaman.. I really struggled to finish the meal coz BANYAK!! but since si Ali finished the food, pressure ku jua kan menghabiskan, kira terpaksalah untuk jaga water face.... Ilang tia macho kan mun order basar tapi inda abis..

Suasana meriah di restoran Turki.. (far left is Uncle Ali and wife, Auntie Noriah. From far right: Normal Ali, Imah, Huda, Rabz, Kaka Haslin)

FIrst day udah siuk wah d Berlin ah, expect better stories in the next part!! Last but not least, here is gambar ku tidur d Luton airport (Si Imah tu gambar... Ingat Imah, doa orang teraniaya mudah di makbulkan.. heheh ;p )

Baik jua nada cecair mengalir atau terjadinya langap langap.. Manage to sleep in public with dignity fully intact..

And one more thing before I sign off, id like to do someting that has become sort of a tradition with my last few posts (altho im sure payah kamu kan ingat coz nda jua malar banar aku blogging aia kan..) Thats right, its time for something thats:



U guys know i got this sweet tooth, right ? (Well, if kamu inda tau, im telling you now) I just love chocs (white, please) and ice cream and I take it for granted that I, as a male species, am eligible to enjoy whatever confectionery i wish.. Until i found this:


Men's chocolate?? All this while I thought chocolate was unisexual!! I also found another thing that was peculiarly made for men in Berlin (and its even more controversial than this.. BELIEVE ME..) Wait for it (dalam dua bulan kah.. kidding!)

Bah thats it for now.. Until next time, take care!

P.S. Sorry it took me way too long!! But atleast ada kan?

Serendipitous Chronicles of a Boy..
"For when you're bored and in need of a read.."

Mischievous monkey.

Hi! After about a month of hiatus, here I am again. Just three crummy posts in three months.. Once a month.. Wow.. That means I basically have a blogging frequency similar to that of a menstruation cycle.. haha..Of all the things I can compare myself to. . I feel random tonight so lets go!! Okay, first I would like to dispute this "All babies are cute" stereotype. Now, I know that most of us would like to think we were adorable as babies, but I feel obliged to inform you that non-attractive (or less than attractive babies) do exist (and dont try to deny this, you people know who you are..) Just the other day when I was walking into this oriental shop in bayswater that I saw a not-so-cute infant in a stroller.. I believe I even said "OH!" upon seeing him/her.. Then i proceeded to look at the mother who was pushing the stroller and I believe I said "Oh, patut jua!" Now, I may just made myself sound like an absolute jerk (and dont get me wrong, I can be sometimes, so lets not rule that out) but I thought that was a bit funny (albeit cruel.)

I now recall this moment where i tried to teach my little cousin how to do an evil laugh. I was in charge of babysitting him for a while and thats when he started repeating the things that I said. SO i thought "why not?" For argument's sake, lets say the typical evil laugh is spelt starting with a 'B' followed by "wahahaha" (it is up to the person to determine how many ha's follow the 'bwa'). So there I was with my lil cousin, and I went "Bwahahaha!" much to my dismay, the little bugger simply went "Buah!" Three tries, three "buahs" and I gave up.. silap ku jua bah,
mun ku ajar berselawat kah, berzikir kah, ada jua faedah nya.. I just ended up wasting my time (and those reading this probably wont entrust me with their kids now, lest I teach them anymore silly things..)

Hmm, twenty minutes to midnight.. My friends are out watching cloverfield and I decide that I cant join them since I got work to do (and my typing up of this post just shows how deeply involved I am with my business proposal right now..) Lets put some pics in this post, shall we?





Yes, december was a blast! Cardiff was wicked as well. Even brought up nostalgic memories by plaing slug bug on the bus! I won of course with seven slug bugs (volkswagen beetles) but Elush had the lead if you count the bicycles (two) yellow cars (three) and smiley face stickers (one) she slugged me for.. (Lush, if youre reading this, mana kira tuu!!) Haha, maybe Im just a sore loser..

Bah, its getting late (almost half past one!) and im done anyways.


Until next time, Jump for joy everybody~~!! ** \(^ . ^)/ **

Ive been tagged!

Ive been tagged by Izzie so I have to post 8 random facts about myself!

1) I am currently living with orang puteh so I have to be aware of apa ada in the kitchen. One day aku nampak my housemate masak pasta with bacon. Ganjil pulang makan pasta sama babi but apa boleh buat, everyone has their own taste. That afternoon, terjangkau tah ku pot nya atu so tarus tah ku call my fren if ia ada tanah di belakang rumah since my backyard only has gravel.. I went to their house in shorts and tarus tah ku tayamum. Sasak ku pulang sedikit, who eats pasta sama babi?? I think its a butchering of italian cuisine if you ask me.. Nanti dorang! Mun ku sasak ku palitkan karang ayam halal arah paip di dapur atu..

2) Last december while i was shopping for tudongs for my mum, aku kana ucap pekerja tie rack oleh kaling!! I was wearing a brown jacket and jeans for crying out loud!! I dont mean to sound racist but mun kau ke negaraku, KAU ku ucap pekerja tie rack!!

3) This is a little known fact about me. When I was yet to be named as a child, I believe that one of the names proposed was "Murni". Wouldn't that be interesting? I'm quite happy with the name I have now though. Althoug i did get quite a bit of "Adib mun di tebalikkan jadi B-I-D-A~!" teases in primary school..

4) Aku pernah cuba besigup time darjah enam sekulah ugama. Ceritanya macam ani: ku tanya orang yang besigup pasal besigup ani, nya dorang siuk and dapat ilangkan stiris. Orang yang inda besigup kata inda bagus and inda sihat. I got confused coz they contradicted each other so I had a go myself. SO after paper exam, kami keluarkan sigup dari almari (no one EVER looks in the dusty cupboards of sekulah ugama madewa) and we went to the new building in the back. I had a few drags and it did nothing for me.. Just playing with smoke it seemed to me..

5) I found that I could do an english accent good enough to fool a londoner!! One of my coursemates didnt have my number so I decided to have some fun:

Storm (my friend's name): "Hello?"
Me: "Can I speak to Joseph Grisham please?"
Storm: "Sorry, U got the wrong number."
Me: "Oh, sorry mate."

He didnt have a clue it was me! I rang him once more:

Storm: "Hello?"
Me: "Joseph, the wierdest thing happened! I tried to call you just now and it turns out that I had called a wrong number. So are we still up for tonight mate?"
Storm: "... Uhh, this isnt Joseph.."
Me: "I know.. (then I changed back to my voice) This is Storm Reid.."
Storm: "What the.. Ohmigod DIBS!! Whats wrong with you?!? How did you do that??"
Me: "Haha. Its called talent mate! U guys at home?"


Hmm, Syazwi pun pernah kana this prank and I do believe Im quite adept at it.. :) heheh..

6) Back in form one, I wanted to take french as my optional subject, but since I was in the UK for holidays, my mum sent in the form with "Computer Studies" ticked.. Ive always wanted to learn a third language, but Im glad I ended up taking computer studies coz that caused me to be in MB1R and after that, lotsa fun and great things happened..

7) I am allergic to prawns and squid/cuttlefish. However, I LOVE eating prawns.. My dad used to cook this magnificent prawn curry and after the meal, I always get a bad itch in my mouth, tongue and throat. That's how I found out about my scampi allergy.. But as i said, I actually love prawns.. So its quite unfortunate for me..

8) This last fact isnt about me actually. Just something I overheard someone say to his friend in London and I quote:

"Nda mau ilang batuk ku ani. Membari sasak. Bersigup pun payah."

Wabillahi taufik walhidayah,

Wassalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.

Lazy bum.

About two weeks since my last post?? Why do I have a blog in the first place?? Haha.. oh well. ive been meaning to blog for the past few days actually but I was just not in the right emotional state to blog.. Aiseh, ke jiwa si Adib ani.. Tapi banar eh, lately macam something missing rasanya.. I had plenty of stuf to blog about, but was just unable to get myself to type.. Anyways, I really hate the humidity level sini ani. Its so easy to get dry skin over here! And i hafta keep using moisturiser (inda macho, I know, but a guy has to moisturise these days!!) and sudahpun karing ah, it even bleeds sometimes.. baik jua bekamih inda keluar in powdered form..

Karing kulitku, karing..

The past two weeks ani, nothing much happened rasanya (well, except for last weekend where we had Majlis Ramah Mesra bersama Sultan). Oh, I did get chased by a dog in November! I was walking to uni and when i went on this stretch of road in the woods, i heard a distinct, low grumbling sound.. I immediately thot "shit, there's an angry dog somewhere.." Tapinya kan, ku cari cari, inda ada! until i looked forward and down when i saw this PUPPY the size of a CHIHUAHUA growling at me.. I ignored the dumb mutt and kept on walking.. The dog then started chasing me at full speed (I only had to jog lightly to stay a safe distance). I smiled as i was pursued by this rather cute, albeit angry, pup. I mean, how much harm kan that FURBALL of an animal do to me? The worst case scenario would be me, kicking the dog full in the face, sending it flying a few metres away. But im glad it didnt have to come to that as the dog's owner yelled "What are you doing!?" to the dog and it backed away.. He then apologised to me (the owner, not the dog). I was kinda disappointed tho.. I always wanted to see a flying dog. (Well, not always.. Just since the dog chased me..)

Thats not the first time i was chased by a dog tho, one time when i was riding a scooter with my uncle, we went past this readymix concrete facility (the one in Bunut, on the way to makam Luba). We stopped in fron of a parking lot, and my uncle stopped and sounded the horn a few times. Then, this dog came from nowhere and started chasing us!! I mean, you may think its okay since we were on a scooter, tapinya kan, there was me, my uncle and my small cousin riding "mencheche" (style bujang lapok). The dog did get really close to us and this was a problem coz i was sitting behind my uncle, who was riding the scooter. I would be the very first one to suffer if the dog got to us!! Im sure di gigit nya or sumthing, nada ia kan join kami tour round kampung kali..

Lets chuck in a picture to this post!


Check out the sponsor of the football team!! Bimbo! In my first impression, some rich girl ran out of ideas.. "Ohmygod!! Like, what should I do with all this frickin monneyy??" And then went on to sponsor a football team.. Actually, the team above is Las Chivas of Mexico. And Bimbo is actually a big Mexican bread company.. Sama tu bah MUN Gardenia or Azmee bakery sponsor team bula.. (Except of course for the unfortunate name..)

Hmm, i dont know if I mentioned this, but dulu I was asked by my aunt to jaga my cousins. So i slept in their room arah tilam on a floor and dorang tidur atas katil. They take karate and one night, the eldest mengigau.. His hand were making silat-like movements. "Eh, mimpi silat ia!! I wonder what happens if aku kacau.." And so i punched him (lightly!!) sikit sikit around his face and he made a dejected look, retreated and went back to sleep. (mimpi kana tumbuk and kana kalahkan ia!) IT WORKED!! And this was backed by an article i found on the internet, dreams can be (as i have proven in my research, haha.) interfered by external stimuli. GIVE ME MY PHD!! :p U can find more facts about dreams here.

Apa lagi kan di blog ah.. Oh! Its time for something that's:


look at what i found on the internet:

Gay Fuel!! (WTF right??) According to the makers, Gay Fuel is similar to Red Bull, except the liquid is dyed bright pink (which makes sense, bright pink is pretty gay..) Its makers claim Gay Fuel contains a blend of sexual stimulant herbs and immune system boosters (yes, this is needed, with the AIDS and whatnot going round the gay community..) So guys, if your single male friend (who wears tight jeans) invites you over their place, offers you some gay fuel because they say that this is the only drink they have and say that the ten jars of vaseline are for their dry skin DONT FALL INTO THE TRAP!! I do wonder how it tastes like tho.. NO, NO!! Resist the temptation Dib!! No good can come from such a product.. Not for a straight guy like me atleast..

Bah, thats it for now. Hope this post was enjoyed by the people who read it. "Kalau sedap bagitau kawan, kalau tak sedap, bagitau kami" (haha, plagiarised from restoran Azmee..)

Peace out!!

p.s. No, i was NOT under the influence of gay fuel atau mana mana produk yang sewaktu dengannya while taking this photo.. Have a nice day people!! :)

Happy people..

One thing I dont like about my room (and its just a small issue) is the fact the paper globe that covers the lightbulb is too damn low!! Im not a tall person or anything but ive hit the damn thing two or three times dah (time salin sweater, making bed, anything involving raising my arms basically). I mean, its even hard for me to jump for joy in my room!!

On a happier note, we went to Maidstone last saturday! And the place was absolutely gorgeous!! In terms of shopping (banyak orang berminat mendangar this bit ni) there was heck of a lot of shops and the place was so happenning! We had loadsa fun lah (banar nya Jirin eh, bagus tempat nya.. Memang bijaksana kata-kata Jirin. ) Here's some of the pics we took:

Izzah, Zimbo, Yati and Muiz being oh-so-vain..

The lads in the group..



Uhh, we got bored on the train.. Heheh.

Apa lagi ah? OH!! We celebrated Shirley's birthday the day before we went to Maidstone! We first went to Chatham to go shopping for a bit and I picked a present for her at the last minute (shops here tutup awal ah..) I pretended that I left my debit card at primark and broke off from the group, got to a perfume shop and got her a Ted Baker perfume. The gift was from all of us btw, not just me. We surprised her at Zimah's place. Earlier, her friends from Nottingham and Canterbury showed up to surprise the birthday girl as well.

Before I go, Id like to show this video that i recorded while watching music videos on Sky (macam Astro lah).

Siuk jua tu d lady! Dapat perform sama Usher.. Haha.. But seriously, full of emotion ia atu eh..

Ciao!

Haiyy..

As promised, here are some pics of my new house. Its been a while since I updated my blog twice in a day. Anyways, here are the pics:

Sori d pics kabur! Pakai camera nokia 6230.. haha.. so old school..
