Mumble Away

It’s been a full week since I blogged. I went back to hometown last Wednesday, and on that day I’ve learnt:

1. Aunty kat kedai ketoyong cannot be trusted at all. Ade ke patut aku dh tempah tiket die jual kat orang lain. Suwey betul.
2. Anie truly is my best friend forever. She went out of her way to buy me the ticket so I can go back to my mother. Love ya always.

My mother will be staying in the hospital for another week or two. I arrived at the hospital Thursday morning at 5am. Can you imagine walking all alone in the hospital at 5 am in the morning? Damn scary! Especially when I walked past through the rooms with the signboard “Rumah Mayat”. Waaaa…takut giler…but I managed to walk past that all.

I slept on the hospital bed for four nights, and ia sangatlah tak best. No wonder people who went out of hospital are never the same. It’s like a death bed. Takut giler. Hopefully my mum will be OK fast! Cuz its really no fun going back home with her in the hospital. Dear Allah, make my mum healthy again! Amin.

The food really sucks and my mother only succeeded once in making me eat those horrendous meals. She herself plak instructed me to go Pizza Hut la, Ayamas la…ade ke orang sakit selera macam tu? Isk…tapi kalau aku kena makan makanan hospital macam tu lagi sakit ade la…

Hmm…voting season is over…and I felt uneasy about BN losing five states to the opposition. Sangatla tak best when I think about this kinda makes me feel like I’m not at home in Malaysia anymore. People dah mula berpecah..and its kinda scary. What will happen in the future? I went to vote and I was quite dumbfounded by the boring-ness I witnessed. What? No people grabbing people to vote for their parties? No sepanduk besar2? No nothing! Even those muslimat PAS in green and white jubbahs are afraid to tegur me. Then beratur pun tak sampai lima minit terus mengundi.

Just now I went to Ponggal Nite Festival at SITC. Best jugak tengok diorang menari. But the music is too loud at times and that damn spotlight sangatla menyakitkan mata. Ayo yo…kesian kat makcik sebelah aku, kena tutup telinga sebab music kuat sangat. But overall best jugakla. Balik hometown nanti mane nak ade smua tuh.

Of all my almost-four-years in UPSI, I have gone to Japanese and Chinese Festival (both in charge of food, thanks to Miss Mazura…hehehe). Tonite tengok Tamil culture plak. Abis Ponggal Nite pegi round2 kat pesta konvo. Pesta la sangat. Pasar malam Tanjung Malim lagi best.

K la folks. Mata dah berat. Abeh ni aku nk tido sepuas puasnya after a really busy week (so busy that I forgot to wash my undies…hahahaha…terpaksa beli baru). Good nite!

I Want To Go Home

Today I didn’t want to wake up. I didn’t want to have my breakfast. I didn’t want to do my laundry. I didn’t want to do anything. I just want to sulk alone in my bed…with nobody interfering. But I have to get up anyway. I have to do my laundry because if I don’t, they’ll pile up and I’ll get mad over the sight of that dirty laundry.

My mom called me at 7 sumthing in the morning and asked me whether I have any important tests during the week. I felt curious because she usually won’t ask those kinds of questions. Yesterday she told me she was at the hospital, getting her eyes checked. It seems like she’s gone blur again.

Then she broke the news. Yesterday she was admitted to the hospital. She didn’t even tell me because she thought I’d worry like hell (which I did). So today after Subuh prayer she told me about it. I felt like I want to fly home straight away. Damn the assignments, the presentations and the proposal.

I can’t go back. I have seminar presentation tomorrow night. Just now Ms Hasimah called me and asked what made me call her when I know she’s attending conference. I told he what happened and she asked me repeatedly whether I want to go home. So she cancelled one of the classes. Still, I can only go back this Friday morning. I can’t wait.

I can’t wait to go home.
Damn the proposal.
Damn the seminar.
Damn everything.

I just want to go home.

The Pasar Malam Thing...hihihi

Greetings beautifuL people of the universe!

Today is one of those days where I felt like flying but falling down at the same time. Last night I didn’t sleep until Subuh prayer. Watched Haunted School (Chinese movie) and Jumper (dang! Hayden Christensen is sooooooo hot!). Hate both stories’ ending. Especially the Chinese movie.

I went to pasar malam at 5pm after giving much consideration (the girls in my house kongsi2 beli barang to cook tomyam. And who’s the cook? Go figure.) And off we go (me, Farid, Ct, Cheryl and Sue Aie [duri ikan…hahahaha] to pasar malam Tanjung Malim, the most happening event weekly here in TM. No kidding.

It was quite cloudy when I arrived there. Had to move fast cuz the crowd’s getting bigger. As I passed through the fruit stalls, I saw Sweet Thang in front of me. He looked solemn, I wonder why. I was praying silently that he will look at me and I swore to myself that I will not let this chance go away just like that, and I closed my eyes. Suddenly, he’s in front of me and I said “Hi!” to him. He replied and we parted. I DID IT. It was little, but at least I did it. Now you guys know how malu2 I am (or in the same case, how tall my ego is. Can’t help it).

Now that I’ve made myself known to him, next time won’t be that hard (hopefully). I mean, yeah I kinda (yela sangat…kinda…what a denial) like him, but it’s not that I’ve made myself a promise of celibacy till I marry him. Duh~~

Back to home, had some sleep before waking up and cook a storm! Hahaha…at least somebody said I could open a kedai makan or sumthing. Hehehe…tersangatla hepy when people comment (nicely) on my cooking.

Tushy came back from meeting with her dad in KL and handed me McD’s Spicy Beef Fold Over which I have been mengidam for so long! So nice! Love ya Tushy! Talking about mengidam…somebody owe me jeruk buah (yum yum…) from Penang (You know who you are, Daniel). Hm…Daniel went to Brunei for a week to attend Student Leader Conference…wonder if he’s back already? Gimme that jeruk already, will ya?)

Oh…did I told ya I actually met Sweet Thang three times today? And with each meeting, my knees grew wobblier? Ergh…this is bad (is it? :P~)

By the way, I don’t think I can go back and vote this year. My mum pun didn’t really encourage me to. Plus I have too much work to be done, and this Monday Siti Yong is coming to hand me the Pre-Test replies for my project paper. Hopefully every thing will be fine. Help me, Dear Allah!

That’s all for now. Gotta get some sleep so I can be ready to do some translation work and readings for my thesis. Dang this semester is the most tiring! See ya again…till then, Genkidena!
