ONE WEEKEND DOWN UNDER
They sent me to learn Media Management in
When I was in
On weekends, in Sydney, I went out with fellow Muslims like Hj. Abdullah Bolhiah from Sarawak and look for the only Muslim restaurant that we know somewhere on the street parallel to George Street. The restaurant was then owned and operated by a young Indonesian who bought halal meat and turned them into delicious Nasi Padang dishes.
One Sunday, while we were having our lunch, we were distracted by the scene of the restaurant owner explaining vehemently but patiently to a man in a naval officer's uniform. The officer looked and sounded like a Malay. He wanted to be doubly sure that all the food he wanted to order was halal. He was convinced and he ordered his lunch. He also ordered beer.

There were these two occasions when I was working in a restaurant back home as a waitress (lepas SPM)... and this Pak Arab's came in. They were extra fussy about the halal-ness of the food... and then, lepas tuh, calmly ordered beers to go with it. Depan-depan their jubah-and-tudung-clad wives. You should have seen my mouth drop open! Haiyohhh....
I mean, I firmly believe that a man's religious practice is his own business... but why make such a fuss over one thing and then completely disregard the next? Very the confusing....

My student days, waiting the table back in Pizza Hut London. Pak Arab & Wife was also so concerned about the 'Halalness' and 'no pork' pizza. He then ordered Chicken and Beef Pizza plus White Wine to go with it. I let my colleague deliver the food. It lasted me 3months there. I move on to pork free, liquor free restaurant.

When we were visiting a schhol in Japan, we were provided lunch. They put the chicken curry on the rice. I could only eat about a quarter of the rice with some salad. it's hard to explain when the Indonesians who are also Muslims ate it without a second thought. I just told people I was a vegetarian.
