Open house-SSS (plural)

Festive seasons always been associated with food, and food is abundant, in all sorts of names, tastes, shapes and even, origin.


Many people are generous with foods, they organize a custom called an open house. Frequently, they will set time and date and invite people to come and enjoy, indulge, and gobble on variety of foods, free of charge.


Kids will get extra treat in the form of 'duit raya', and the real picturesque scenery during any open houses are the kid chasing around each other, parading their new clothes.


Mine? i'd like to jot down a few experience of the open houses i attended:



1. The Acting Vice Director of KMJ's a.k.a head of Maths Department house

The Boss's house! It was located in Tengkera Malacca



which i had next to no idea where?!!



But, according to the map, i will easily find my way to the house if i turn right at the junction heading to Jusco Baru. After blindly following whichever signboard which points to Alor Gajah, we ( My friend and I) given up altogether and convert to plan B.



We decided to halt the guess and start a quest for the real path to go there. The most brilliant methodology cropped up was none but to start phoning the boss herself! asking for direction..



Then, to our surprise, we weren't lost, we were halfway exactly where we want to be.



Kesimpulan: kami memang pandai cari jalan nooo...



Next thing i remember was nothing but the food, heaven!!!



2.Fellow colleague Kak Yan and Kak Nita's house in Muar and Bukit Katil




We had carefully planned our journey right after the invitation to the open house come up.



Every second of free time we got will be fully utilized to discuss the details of our little adventure that weekend. Our simple motto must be obeyed and proved:



" Musuh jgn dicari, rezeki jgn ditolak, open house kena pergi, makan kenalah hepi, baru tuan rumah tak kecik hati"



Kak Nita has given stern instruction for us to follow....



"Kira Traffic Light tuuuhh, trafic light ke lima belok kiri"

Kami mengira traffic light



Then the next thing i remember was eating...



From Muar, we off to Melaka, we decided to do some exploration and investigation using different route from our usual PLUS highway.



The sun shone so bright, the day was at the peak of its temperature, the blinding light of harsh sun sap all of how-much-ever energy left, i was sleepy.



The open house in Kak Yan' s house was not due until 8 pm..we were a bit early, the clock arm lee-way points to 5 pm.



One of my friend suggested to loiter around Jusco Lama, while waiting for the cue, to go to Bukit Katil, to attend Kak Yan's open house. We we having light meal ( light kerr?) in Mickey D's



Then, sharply at 8pm, our delegation (haha), literally ambush Kak Yan's house.



Being the first batch of guest, we officiated everything!!!!



hahahahaah
