Raya Ketiga: Laura Ajak Makan!

In the evening, we left for Putrajaya to makan-makan at SK's friend's place. Let's call her Laura. She was SK's coursemate during university. Her parents were down for a month, so she invited us over for a simple open house. With the help of the GPS, it was quite easy to find her house. It was my first time visiting any residential area in the administrative capital. In her area, all the houses were unfenced and identical. Apparently the disallow any external renovations and even the colour of the paint must be standardized. A dictatorship! According to Laura, she even received several warning letters from Perbadanan Putrajaya for not cutting her grass. Haha. The design of the house was quite weird with the toilet right beside the front door. And in the kitchen, there's a small metal door that opens to the side of the house. Laura shrugged when I asked her about the use of the door. Her mother grilled some chicken thighs, whipped up some wonderful beef rendang, acar, ketupat, lemang and nasi briyani. Was so full. After dinner we chatted at the living room and ate again, sampling the cookies and cakes that Laura made. She actually made a layer cake that only had ONE layer. HAHAHAHA. She's the type who can go to work with unironed clothes. And her curtains were left unwashed for two years. She also talked about her years in the civil service. I wasn't surprised at all from her descriptions of her sloth and slug-like colleagues who have no sense of responsibility at all. It was a fun night out of makan-makan dan sembang-sembang!
