John, Mike & Linda
hari ni nonie attended the last lecture for this semester... subject Knowledge Management Systems... at last! lega plak rasanya... lebih2 lagi bila lecture hari ni yg sepatutnya hanya habis pukul 4 ptg dipendekkan sampai t/hari je...
yg tinggal lepas ni hanyala submit 1 group assignment, 1 individual assignment, 1 take home exam & 2 written exams... isk... banyak tu... alamak mana boleh lega lagi... huhuhu
anyway, utk celebrate hari terakhir lecture utk subject nie John, groupmate nonie suggested kitaorg pi lunch kat Minang, tempat nonie keje tu... dah lama dia tak makan sambal katanya... hehe
so after class tadi the four of us, John, Mike, Linda & I walked all the way from the ICT building to the city... semangat btul derang nak makan indonesian food...
they enjoyed the food... tak sangka si John nie begitu suka ngan sambal terasi aka sambal belacan... rupanya penah jer dia makan sambal tu ngan toast buat macam spread dgn telur utk breakfast... heh nonie ngan linda dari indonesia tu pun terkejut... kitaorg yg kuat makan pedas ni pun tak pernahla makan sambal belacan sampai camtu skali... Mike yg dari Hong Kong tu pun tak tahan pedas macam si John nie... hehe. Oleh kerana dia suka sgt sambal tu nonie pun bagi dia sebekas kecik bawak balik... John terer masak kari gak... dia masak kari siap buh belacan... seronok berciter ngan dia macam2 masakan yg buh belacan... nonie bagutau dia sambal belacan lagi sedap kalau belacan tu dibakar dulu & di tumbuk dlm lesung... pastu berciter pulak petua nak hilangkan pedih mata terkena cili... kawan dia bagitau kena cecap secubit garam kat lidah & nonie plak bagitau ada petua suruh basuh kaki kiri kalau terkena cili mata kanan & vice versa... gelak derang... nonie pun tatau kat mana nonie dgr petua tu... tapi i remembered someone told me or i read it from somewhere... hehe
lepas ni tatau bila lagi boleh spend masa ngan derang... group assignment kitaorg dah nak siap pun... seronok kenal ngan derang ni... John sgt knowledgable... mana taknya he graduated from his 1st degree in 1970... i wasn't even born yet... sejak dari tu macam2 ijazah lagi dia kumpul... so, he has all range of qualifications... arts, computing, science & this time knowledge management... tak kedekut ilmu & dgn umur dia tu macam fatherly figure to the rest of us...
michael @ mike plak asal dari Hong Kong... nonie baru tau tadi... rupanya parents dia dulu study kat Sydney... so family dia dah lama ada kat sini & dia pun dah ada PR sini... dia cikgu Physical Education & English kat salah sebuah all girls school kat Geelong... awal2 dulu nonie suka tgk dia sbb cam cool jer, slang english pun dah macam australian, yerla cikgu englishla katakan... tak pernah tgk dia simpan rambut panjang sket... sentiasa botak jer... mentang2 cikgu PE gak, agak giat cardass la sket... masa tgh2 discussion pun sempat jer dia buat stretching kat atas lantai... hehe
Linda plak dari Jakarta... been with me in the department most of the time... kelas sama, group sama utk semua subjects gak... we are sort of bestfriends la kat sini...
nonie tak baper ramai kawan rapat kat sini except for Linda... most of the times, my groupmates are the people i hang out with during class or when i spent times in the department... being an introvert susah sket la nak bersosial2 sana sini... nak jumpa student malaysia kat my department pun payah... paling2 jumpa derang pun kalau ada gathering apa2 kat mesia hall la... okla... at least bolehla selalu belasah english nonie yg berkarat2 nie, paling2 pun cakap indonesia @ mandarin sesikit ngan linda hehe...
hoping to maintain my current network of friends & expanding it...
