Journal untuk Nonie : Bo Geygey Trip [Part 1]

It was Wednesday, and I woke up at 11 am. Considered early as I slept at 4 am the night before, after a loongg journey back home from Turoa, Mt. Ruapehu. I waited til Nonie woke up. And when I saw she's no longer idle, I buzz-ed her and went to her room. Haha... okay this may sound corny but yeah, I miss her! Maybe cuz I really want her to come with us. She decided not to join us at the last minute. Cuz she's still not well. If only she was healthier =(

Anyway, we updated each other. The 2-day stories were told. And yeah, I told her in excitement, as if I'm still in the trip. I was very happy indeed. Haven't felt this for quite long.

Then I remembered something. Since I know she'll understand this, so I blurted "Bo Geygey!".

And Nonie couldn't understand me. Haha. Fail! I can never speak Malay in Kelantanese slang. Ah well, I can't understand it in the first place. I remembered my college days, my collegemates can chat in Kelantanese slang wey. I'm impressed. And whenever we had conferences, Afan & Daniaal will start 'kecek kelate' and I'll go "er.. err..". At one point Afan will definitely replied "Kesian Mexx, dahla tu Daniaal". Hah college days. I kinda miss that :(

Anyway, I finally manage to get myself out of Wellington. Awaaayyy from the hecticness. Actually I have been avoiding things since the holiday started. And I think this is the 'climax' for this 2-week holiday. Alhamdulillah. I experienced a lot of things and although it was only 2 days, its enough to make me remember it forever. Great company. How I wished Nonie was with us too.

There were 8 of us. 2 cars. 1 hella good journey.

We woke up early to prepare snacks & breakfast for the journey. At about 1045am Naqib & Fifi came by to fetch us. Then we fetched Haz. And off we go.

I brought Nonie's CDs as our entertainment for the whole journey. No Nonie, her CDs oso can lah. Texted Imran so that we cn borrow his AUX jack. But apparently, there were no CD player in the car! Not even a cassette player, and the AUX jack! Haha. Thank God for the new technology, we can still use our handphones. Although it wasn't as loud as the speakers, but at least they kept us entertained. Well, with the help of the 2 loudest people in the car of course =P I pity the driver & the co-driver. Haz wasn't bad though. Haha but me? ... sorry guys! Anyway, all four of us lovee to talk so yeah, that kept us entertained & wide awake too.

Oh by the way, in our car we have : Naqib, Qilah, Haz and Yours Truly.

Learnt a few things while we were in the car:

1. My playlist is kinda... depressing. And I didn't realized that. Usually I'll choose the songs that I can 'layan' while I'm walking, or when I'm in the car, or the bus, alone. If the songs were too fun I'll feel like wanting to dance or something. So yeah that explains why :P.
   
2. Since we were not prepared with our own roadtrip playlist, we have to live with what we have. And this time we really want those malay songs! If only I brought my lappie with me. Maybe we all can sing all KRU songs I have in my collection. I have to remember this next time: we need more malay songs next time!
3. Our favorites were MIKAs, Destiny's Childs, Bagaikan Sakti, Perpisahan, and a few other Malay songs. Indonesians too.
   

We stopped by at Lindale for the ice cream (of course), then off to Palmy to fetch Nana & Imran, had lunch and shop for groceries. Then we continued our trip... to Ohakune, the carrot capital.

Arrived to our accommodation at about 7:45pm. For the first time, we made noises without being warned! Usually when I travel, especially with family, we always got the neighbours knocking asking us to keep quiet. Ah well, when the 'four brothers' sat together in one place, how can we stopped making noises? haha. And this place is quite classic you know, they still use VHS! Rented a few tapes, but ended up letting the movie 'Bone Collector' watch us while we played our favourite Board Game 'Imaginifff...' and had our priceless pillow talk session.

And that's when we learnt the phrase "Bo Geygey!".

Thanks to Naqib. Haha. Oh that was one of the best pillow talk sessions I had. Maybe the best I had for the year? We just couldn't stop did we? Even when there's 10 second earthquake. Haha oh yes people! for the first time, I finally experienced earthquake! It was quite long, 10 seconds I think. 5-10.. in between that. We managed to look at each other, and also the surroundings while it happened. That long alright. Haha. Maybe there's longer but I don't know, that was my first time =P

Other than Bo Geygey and Earthquake, I discovered:

1. that most of us went to Globe Silk Store to get our school uniforms!
2. we have weird2 ambitions back then such as Cashier, Toll guy/girl, Elevator attender (is that what you call it? The one who helped us push the buttons of the elevator) and Ustazah. Haha.
3. we all hated that blue colored eraser that supposed to do wonder for us as it claimed that we can erase the ink of the pen when it actually made holes in our books.
4. Fifi remembered the price difference of Tora & DingDang.

From childhood stories to business strategies. From the past to the present. We shared our childhood stories, our schools' stories; and our experiences on many things. That was how wide our topics were. Indeed, the conversations were priceless. It ended at 3am.

The end of day 1.
