UK 1: lampu mentol putih

Sambil2 menunggu flight utk ke eire, bergerak, teringat akan satu cerita..
Tentang lampu mentol!

Di UK ni, mmg susah nak jumpa mentol colour putih. Pelik kan? Bukan kata, xdak langsung, tapi, kalau nak cari kat kedai2 runcit biasa, either, ada tapi mahal, atau zero-pound, which is xavailable. Dalam rumah sewaku, ini, lampu pendarflour hanya didapati di dapur. Bilik, ruang tamu, semua guna mentol.

Setelah beberapa bulan bertahan dgn lampu kuning y agak malap, sy tekad nak cari lampu putih, kat kedai runcit, bdekatan; Select n Save. Basically, kedai ni, dimiliki oleh org2 india.

Masuk kedai. Lihat kanan..botol arak, majalah lucah, rokok..huh..PANAS.. Teringat aku pd prjuangan Rasulullah dan shbt2 baginda. Terus semangat saidina Umar, menyelirap..
'Rasa nak BAKAR je bahagian kedai tu..'

Tapi apakan daya..Seandainya, mereka faham ttg Islam..dan betapa indahnya pengharaman benda2 jijik tu..

Aku teruskan pencarian aku..
Mentol rupanya, ada kategori; pearl, fireglow,clear.
Belek2..makin lama kuamati, makin konfius pulak.. Clear? Clear kuning ke, clear putih? Fireglow..kuning oren ke, oren malap? Tiba2 lalu lah, sorg pekedai,Indian (so,bca dlm nada indian,more lively kot)...

Aku: excuse me. Is this a white bulb?
*then, dia tgok, bulb, tnpa tgok kotak*
Pekedai A: yes. It's a white bulb.
Aku: *monolog-mestila. Kaca bulb mmg putih.*
Erm..could u check its box, here.
Pekedai A: *belek2* yes..! It is white..
Aku: like the your shop's light? (lampu pendarflour)
Pekedai A: yeah..yeah
Aku: what's the difference between fireglow, clear, and pearl?
Pekedai A: err...*muka konfius*which one do u want?
Aku: i want white bulb..are this all white bulbs?
Pekedai: yeah2..it is ALL white bulb here.*gaya mcm dh mls layan*
Aku: ok2..*erm..xleh caya ni*

So, end up ambil pearl, sbb pearl, slalu, putih. Sampai kaunter, kudapati, org lain y jaga kaunter, so, aku lihat kiri kanan..'no sign of pekedai tadi'..then tanya dia pulak..nak kepastian 100%

Aku: err..is this a white bulb?
Pekedai B: *belek kotak, bukak..check mentol-gaya lebih convincing* ermm..it's pearl..may be white, but a bit dim..
Aku: ouh..okay.

Tiba2..

'ouh...!! It's YOU again! White bulb! '

=.="
Rupa2 nya, pekedai A tadi, ada kat bawah tempat cashier tuh..

Pulag ke rumah, dgn harapan y bsr.....
Agar lampu itu putih..
Pasang2..tekan suis..tup!!
KUNING JUGAK!! Cuma cerah dia, nak hala ke putih..ada ala2 pearl jugak la..pearl kuning

Dulu senior pernah ckp..
Kalau nmpk, lampu putih, itu biasanya, rumah malaysian la tu..
Dan..mengikut kajian diorg, lampu kuning dpt mningkatkan daya tumpuan, terutama ketika mmbaca.


Wallahu'alam.

updatela!

Bismillah..
After a while being soo ignorant to this blog, I now, have realised the urgency to keep my blog updated with my memorable moments in UK, since few of my relatives, back in Malaysia, has been asking me to update my blog with some 'uk stories'. Thanks to them, and my special mother, who made me gave another thought to this blog...
So, the theme of the blog, which supposed to be more of tazkiyatunnafs, may be shifting to a more, experience-based and with it, some element of 'tazkirah', insyaAllah, will also be inserted..

That's all from me..wish you a happy reading on my blog..


Wallahu'alam
