The first time I heard abt Jonker’s Walk – hati langsung tak tergoda. I hv been to better places…and I thot Jonker’s Walk was just another Chinatown, mcm blue film, you’ve seen one, you’ve seen all.
But somehow I ‘tersampai’ jugak kat Jonker’s Walk – ada kawan dari KL ajak. First impression: Jonker’s Walk mmg nampak sama mcm other Chinatown ( err..actually I tau Petaling Street je..). but the people/traders are more friendly and I actually had fun. I said to myself ‘ biasa la..mana-mana pun tempat baru mmg la seronok.’
Last week I pergi lagi, this time ada kawan kat Melaka ni ajak. Dengan berat hati (betul..mmg berat hati) I pergi…kan baru je pergi a few mnths ago, tak kan la they can have something so diff now yg boleh buat I go wow!. But I was wrong…
Dulu ada line dancing, and ppl were dancing on the street. This time pulak ada live band, open air lagi – sumer mat salleh, real mat salleh and they call themselves Johnny Coma and the Boneshakers. Ada yg from UK, US and ntah dari mana lagi…6 of them plus 1 Malaysian. Mana datang dorang ni sumer? They claim to be the one and only blues band from Malacca – Yup! Dorang dah jadikan Melaka dorang nyer base. Live band ni biasa la kan, mana-mana pun ada live band, regardless of where they are from. Tapi dorang ni mmg bagus, but I bukan nak citer pasal band ni…tapi the ppl yg tengok band ni. Kat Jonker’s Walk ni, kan ramai tourist - muka Jepun ada, muka China/Taiwan/Hong Kong ada, muka Portugis dah tentu2 la ada, muka mat salleh pun boleh tahan ramai. I represent muka Melayu..hihi. Macam-macam muka ada…and u know what..? Everybody was dancing on the street, AGAIN?? Lelaki, pompuan, tua and muda…bukan setakat nari (swaying) on the spot. Tapi nari yg partner2 tu. Mungkin tempat tu ada virus ‘sawan nari’ kot, dulu nari skrang pun nari lagi.. And we were all strangers to one another…maka al-hatta, sekonyong konyong nyer, terberkenalan la I dgn minah ni, muka ala2 Kris Dayanti …( haha! tak pelat langsung, nak ala Kris Dayanti jer..), and she’s from Jkt. (hey..isn’t that where they all say they are from..?), dia yang tegur I dulu k, I senyum2 je, host la katakan.. I ni walaupun kulit gelap-gelap diamond, tapi muka tu masih nusantara lagi..ekeke). Ali Rostam kena bayar elaun kat I for all these… Best bangat masa tu…( kan dah terbercakap bahasa Indon..).
Tapi tu la..Jonker’s Walk is still a surprise even after the 2nd visit. Maybe I was just lucky kot. But mende2 camni mmg I tak penah jumpa kat Petaling Street…lalala.
Dulu As yang ajak pergi..(remember As..?), this time, masa kitorng pergi, dia kat KL, so utk tidak menghampakan dia..I called her, live from Jonker’s that nite..- menghempap-hempap diri dia kat KL, geram!. YES!! I berjaya menghampakan dia! LOL!
Next time I akan cuba hampakan Leen plak, tak pun Farm ke..or Anis ke…(emote embus2 asap cum bersiul). Yan, I mmg tak kan hampakan dia…
Weekend ni Jonker’s lagi..?? No lah..what can they possibly have this time around.
Dah la…gotta go, ada hal sket. Wei..minah Indon tu dah balik Jkt la..
Bee, nak snuggle2 lagi tak..?
