Guy Fawkes Night 2013 and burger fuel dinner

Again, another posting basi hahahaha ... but again, better late than never

Guy Fawkes Night is also known as Bonfire Night (kalau kat UK lah) ...celebrated on 5th November ..kan ada saying yang dok kata "remember ...remember ...the 5th of November.." well that is the famous dialogue for Guy Fawkes Night ...historically 5th Nove tu was the date when Guy Fawkes attempted to kill King James 1st of England ...but the plot failed ...and as celebration, people celebrated by burning effigy etc ..hence the name bonfire night ...or firework night ...and masa zaman muda mudi aku di UK dulu, I am so happy masa bonfire nights ...going rounds with my foster mom to check out the bonfires kat area West Denton ...awesome awesome views and memang fun lah ...

so i was excited when I found out that Welly City Council buat firework display for Guy Fawkes ...hahaha mengalahkan budak kecik ok! since 5th Nov was on weekday, the WCC organised firework on Saturday so that ramai org pergi ....awesome! 

Nabil menggayakan mask Guy Fawkes masa we all had that Holloween potluck

That morning I was in my office, doing some work ...harus le spent a few hours di opis coz kan banyak kerja, and since I know akan berjimba pada sebelah malam nya ...and I also went grocery shopping with my opis mate jugak before venturing to town ...then at 6.30pm I went to town to meet Anita ...and we went for dinner first sebab nak gi awal kat town and book our space ..knowing that org akan ramai berpusu-pusu carik tempat yang strategik ...actually we were lucky coz we were early ....got a really nice spot ....not at the edge of the waterfront ..but belakang Micheal Fowler Centre ...and nobody blocking our view ....but berzaman lah tunggu firework start hahahaha

kapal yang akan tembak the fireworks tu straight ahead ...so the view mmg clear gila!

I think we waited for an hour before the show started ...mula2 tu ngades kan ...aku pakai cardy ajer sebab the weather was nice and warm masa kuar rumah ...then sejuk hahaha padan muka ...and then makin ramai org datang ..and ada yng bawak picnic blanket siap2 untuk duduk ...baring etc untuk tengok firework...so i told anita, next year aku akan bawak blanket jugak hahahaha ...

once it started, it was actually fun! the oooo and the aaaaahhh yang people say tengok fireworks...so jakuns! kiter kat Mysia selalu ajer main bunga api kan ...kat sini 1-2 kali setahun ajer hahahaha ....the show was 12 mins ajer...but as if satu Welly tu kuar tengok and lepak waterfront malam tu ....how doe i know that?? sebab masa nak balik tu macam semut ajer aku tengok org balik hahaha i ended up jalan kaki balik to my flat coz tengok ramai sangat org tunggu bus ...and sepanjang perjalanan balik tu, punya lah ramai org balik saing aku ....fun fun night for me ...different coz masa UK tu aku tgk bonfire ....here, they celebrated with firework :-)

anyway, kan aku kata tadi yang i went for early dinner kan ...well, we went to Burger Fuel ...lama aku tak makan burger kat situ ..and dah ngidam ...so i had my usual burger with kumara chips ...sedap oooo

yang nie burger anita hahaha kami saja jer pose for pic macam nie and sent to anak Kak Shidah ...knowing that he will be missing this burger :-) dia punya fav le katakan ...and now they are all back in Mysia ...jahat tak jahat nyer lah kan

this is mine! complete with kumara chips and aioli dip and L&P drink

Then, I did a stupid mistake ....rushing kuar from here ...and bila dah jalan 5-8 mins gitu baru sedar fon takde...carik2 selongkar dlm beg mmg takde ....i sort of think that i might actually put my phone on the tray with the wrappers etc ...and i actually might have thrown all that in the bin! Coz kat sini kan you clear your own table before you leave ...so dreading it! Anita dah ready camera dia ...nak capture the moment aku kena selongkar sampah! Siap dah fikirkan caption untuk gambar itu utk upload in FB ...bagus punya kawan kan! But thank God ...masa aku gi tanya kat cashier ...and she asked me where I sat before ..dia pun gi check kat tempat kami duduk tu ..by then ada 3 org mamat bikers dok situ ...muka garang siot ...and one of the guy kata, if you are looking for a phone, I already passed it to the counter ...hahahaha lega akak!!!! check kat counter depan, and there was my phone ...hahahaha tak yah selongkar sampah ..apparently i left it on the seat! bodoh kannnnn ...

One thing i noticed here ...and one thing yang semua org kat sini kagumi is that the kiwi and people in Wellington are honest! Kalau jumpa barang bukan milik dorang, mmg dorang tak ambik ....like my flatmate tinggal her handbag atas longgokan baju kat kedai ...she came the next day, it was still there! My french friend accidentally left her laptop di library ...pun sama, people just handed it to security ...so it is kind of nice knowing that people have that kind of attitude here ....but lets face it, biar pun org honest like that ...jgn lah jadi bodoh cam aku ...boleh cicir fon like that ...duhhhh!!!!
