Cozens at RASTA

Yesterday night my family had their berbuka puasa at Pak Nyah's house in Subang Jaya with most of the Kushairi Clan family members staying around KL and PJ area. The theme was pot luck so everyone brought their own lauk pauks, kuih muihs and deserts. It felt like a dinner worth RM80 per head buffet with dishes ranging from roast chicken, fish head curry (two large heads indeed..nyum), mixed vegetables, popiah, Secret Recipe cakes and many more.

With the provided table and chairs at the lawn, cozens from the rank of ‘long’ and ‘ngah’ sat outside and chatted about things such as the separation of Singapore and Malaysia, Siti Nurhaliza’s wedding…errr..and other sensitive issues revolving around race and religion. So I told them about Jelutong having its own Shisha stall and Shinaz gave me a craving look. Shinaz actually lurvessss Shisha so much that she can actually order a set for her ownself……wickedddd!

I as usual being joking about certain things told them “Hey after this lets go for some Shisha”. Najwa was like alright with it but Shinaz kept quiet….hmm is she thinking of something….mmmm.

After a duration of 5 hours spent at my uncle’s house, everyone decided is time to go back home, as my car passed by the house, Shinaz and Nadia gave me hand gestures which I certainly understood. The message was like “Call us or we call you for an outing tonight anywhere as long there is Shisha”. Feeling tired, me and Amir decided to keep quiet and not to call them out. Upon reaching home sweet home, Nadia called my hp and told us the cozens are going out for a Shisha session. I was a bit surprise, looking at the time it was 11.30 pm and wondering how come they are able to convince their parents to go out this late since the youngest among them was 16 years old.

Since it has been a long time we never had a cozen get together, I agree with Nadia and told them to meet at Rasta in TTDI. Most of the time, we usually hang out in Hartamas but knowing it was football night, the place is expected to be packed. Me, Amir and Ariff decided to go first and reserve the seats for the rest of the cozens.

We got ourselves a good spot and favourites such as waffle, Shisha and western food was all close by to our table. Usually the cozens will consists only 5 to 7 members but last night was an additional of 3 people. As usual we ordered our drinks and food ranging from waffles, French fries, roti bakar, tea drinks with different flavours and a lot of warm water. I felt like a rich man that night so I decided to treat everyone’s drinks and Shisha except for the food…hekhekhek.

Continued our discussion from Pak Nyah’s house and puffing Shisha like there was no tomorrow. We had two Shisha flavours (grape and strawberry) but somehow the taste wasn’t as ‘kaw’ as Hartamas and Jelutong. Nadia told the stall owner to add some more ‘arang’ and later on only it felt like the real thing.

Sitting with cousins who are mostly gurls, tv dramas such as Entourage and One Tree Hill was also part of the discussion. Najwa who is an avid follower of these shows told us spoilers and what are we going to expect on the following seasons.

We had lots of fun and was kind of wuzzy with all the excellent food and Shisha puffing. Time was 2.30 am and so we decided to go back home since most of us needs to wake up at 5.00 am for sahur.

Bid farewell and everyone drives back home while hoping to see each other again during Hari Raya.
