Breakfast @ Chai Chee Village: A Personal Recount By The Guy Who Long Time Never Go Training

Hello!

I’m the guy who long time never go training.

Not because I don’t want to go lah but because of some other things.

Because I long time never see my friends from NTU Silat Club, I think ok lah join them for this Breakfast Session or ‘Buka Puasa’ or Iftar (coming from the word ‘futhur’ which means breakfast in Arabic) or Sungkai (this is what people in Brunei call ‘buka puasa’).

At least can catch up little bit with them.

But today the plan a bit different one. I thought go breakfast first then pray Maghrib. But tonight we pray Maghrib first then breakfast. So some of us like Rizman, Rizar and I go break our fast at Kassim Mosque first. We also see Ridzwan and his new buddy there. His name is Razi (new guy). Everybody’s name all start R one except me.

Rizman is wearing the white stripe shirt (dunno why he every time must wear smart only). Rizar wearing the green one.

Rizar (in his head): “Aiyah! Eat bubur masjid (a type of porridge usually made by mosques and served during Ramadhan) only ah.”

Amik Kau! (Take that you!). Not only were we given porridge. They provided a whole big plate of white rice with many vegetables, sambal sotong (squid chilli) and ikan kering (dried fish) summore. Also got badung water (rose cordial mix with condensed milk) and fruits. The black and brown small things on the big plate is kurma (dates).

Then after Maghrib prayers we met Shedah and her sidekick Hajar at the bus-stop outside Kassim Mosque. Then Syahid and his new buddy Andy (new guy) came on their bikes. Aiyah when to Prac 2 sey.

As the others not yet come although we waited so long for them, we decided to go Kampung Chai Chee Restaurant first.

This the place.

We thought we had booked a place there, but apparently they don’t have any record of us making a booking. Luckily there were not many people there, so we were given two rows of tables. So ok lah.

As the minutes passed, our venerable, veteran, Kak Lin arrived with the pesilat Nationals, Farah, trailing a few minutes later. Then if I’m not wrong, the girl-who-rides (new girl, forgot her name) appeared. By this time we had start ordering our food while waiting for the remaining gang to show up.

So as the minute hands whizzed round and round countless times, two more (new girls, forgot their names) popped in. Then it’s Adip (new guy) turn to appear. But the grand finale for this Star Karat show belonged to Mr Jay (new guy). Wah! He appeared at like 8.30pm like that. One long hour since we first arrived at the restaurant. We even had Syahid pick him up summore sey. But I heard he got meeting lah before that, so okay lah eh.

The Gang

You see lah, the cameraman dunno how to take pictures; the behind people faces all kena block sey.  On behalf of him, I offer my apologies. Dun be angry ah the back people.
