I watched in no shock the news on floods hitting the east coast states. So far Terengganu tolled the highest number of victims with 6000 people stranded in 92 evacuation centres across the state. Followed by Kelantan with 3000 victims and Pahang with a certain number. Do you count Pahang into east coast anyway?
I don't know about the other towns, but Kuala Terengganu wasn't showered today. The weather was damp and gloomy of course, but there were hardly rain drops. I think the clouds take a day off today unwrapping their gifts.
So we planned it good to have an outing today. Me and my mates from school went for a round of bowling. I wish I had a photo to show but I was faring well today, to think that I last played almost 3 years ago. The first few frames were mine to lead (my score was 23, but still) before a pal hit the first spare of the game, followed by a strike. Mine came a bit later, after another contender's.
Their spares and strikes kind of gave me a mental pressure you know partly because I can't predict to have mine coming, and because I don't even know how to throw for one, in fact I don't even know how to throw properly. That's weird thinking, but you should have seen me throw the ball in the first place!
Still, it was a nice outing. We went afterwards for some aliment of Terengganu's kitchen. I had a bowl of laksam followed by a plate of nasi minyak and a glass of tea. I convinced my friend, who hails from Selangor and attends a uni here to try laksam but I think all I did was mess with his taste buds. Well, he didn't mention his detestation of sambal belacan, nor did I think that the gravy was salty as he said it was. In the end I took his gravy and mixed it with mine while he ordered nasi minyak. I guess we Terengganu folks have distinctive tongues that not only speak but also taste differently from the folks from the rest of the country.
It's 1:33 am and drizzling right now.
