A Whole New Story

• My 1st class for 3 subjects this semester that is supposed to start this Saturday are postponed due to no electricity at the FSKM building on Saturday. Uhuuu I miss my classmates.
• On the bright side, I’m able to go to Diey’s wedding! Owh yeay! Ex-roommateku for 3 years, I am going to celebrate your big day!
• Sad news. My friend Addib called me and said that our high school teacher, Puan Latifah passed away this late afternoon on her way back from school. She had an accident, Addib said our late teacher ran into a bus stop or something. I didn’t get the details but she was severely injured and that lead to her death. Al-Fatihah and may her soul rest in peace.
• I’m worried about my mum. After visiting my aunt yesterday, she had this rash on her neck. It was red and itchy and it comes and goes from time to time. However this time it looked worst and she decided to berubat cara Melayu. Please pray that my mum will be ok.
• I wanna write long entries. With pictures. I felt that I am lacking of inspiration. I need to meet my friends. I need to meet new people. Which is why there is no reason for me to have this fear of adapting to a new environment. Remember that.

Ok, aku tak sempat nak update kali ni because I need to go to Ampang because my parents are there visiting my very sick aunt.

Please pray for my aunt’s health.

InsyaAllah weekend ni aku update. Or better Friday. Hopefully.

Where to start?

NOTE: THIS IS A LONG POST. BEWARE.

I’m back! And now I am in the office, will be having 2 meetings later at 3pm. Now I wished I had continued my leave but thinking that I am going a trip again later in May *coughs and jeling2 to Diey and Alia*, I have to save my leave in case I need to rest.

Owh yes, tips to go to Jakarta/Bandung:

1. Drink a lot of water. I had a bottle of mineral water everywhere I go. It was freaking hot there, even in Bandung which was supposed to be chilly.
2. Candies or gula-gula in case pening or apa. The road there is not really good like in Malaysia.
3. Spare small money like 1,000RP because there were so many street sellers, musicians and peminta sedekah, lagi2 ramai budak kecik. Tapi janganlah murah hati nak bagi/beli kat semua pulak.
4. Panadol. Takut sakit kepala/perut.
5. Don’t go eating randomly at the street stalls. A few of the people had diarrhea after eating aiskrim durian there.

Let’s go through the trip, shall we?

1st day: 24Apr 2010 (Saturday) – Ipoh-KL-Jakarta-Bandung

Woke up very early, drove to Ipoh with parents to catch the bus that is going to send us to LCCT. Started the journey to LCCT at 7.15AM, there were 41 people in the trip (saiko gila ramai). Most of them are my uncle’s ex-colleagues and colleagues. Banyak orang pencen. Reach LCCT around 11AM which was good because our flight to Jakarta was at 1.15PM, then we will take a bus to Bandung. There were some of the participants that will be going to Bandung directly as my uncle had mistakenly click the flight to Bandung instead if Jakarta.

Reached Jakarta around 3.00PM (Malaysian time) at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport. My hearing had been compromised due to the air turbulence during the flight and it hurts like hell.  The tour guide was there, he introduced himself as Muslim (what a nice name). The journey from Jakarta to Bandung was 3 hours (macam Taiping-KL sey) IF there is no heavy traffic. When we reached the city, there was of course, heavy traffic, but at least it was moving. Muslim said “ini tak jammed ya, ini biasa saja untuk Sabtu”. WTH? I’d rather live in KL if Saturday pun jammed. Seriously, the traffic is very heavy on Saturday.

The journey to Bandung was tiring. We got to know that the people who landed in Bandung was already at the hotel safe and sound. We reached Bandung around 8.30PM, had dinner and checked into SukaJadi Hotel, Bandung. I went to sleep at 9.30PM. Record tu, awal tu aku tido.

Sukajadi Hotel.

I don’t have any siblings.

I never had any. So maybe I don’t understand.

I am close to a few friends who I put them in the same level as sisters. However I know that I am not going to be as close to them as their sisters or brothers. For this few weeks, I am so sensitive that even if one close friend refused something I felt hurt.

My emotions are so twisted I decided to stay silent and I choose not see them under this condition. I don’t want to last out stupid things, and I prefer to keep things quiet from them for now.

They have their own problems too.

There’s this one, who is the closest to me, she now likes to hang out with her friends and bringing her little brothers along. I was never comfortable with this situation, because I know I have to control what I say, or what I want to discuss with her. I mean, you don’t discuss your love life with your friend with her little brothers around. You don’t discuss intimate details of a conversation with your crush in front of brothers. Of course, you don’t cuss in front of them too, otherwise you will make a bad example. If the brothers are around my age, I am fine with it, but she always bring her 16 and 11 year old brothers along. Now, don’t you feel awkward talking to your friend with them around?

Another one, is clingy boyfriend. The boyfriend seems to follow her around like a loyal puppy. Okay, I understand it’s love or whatever, but I don’t think I can bash other males in the presence of another boyfriend [who in this case is a good guy]. We can’t have a girls’ session when your boyfriend is around, hun.

So yeah, that’s maybe why I kept my distance from them. I know, best friends and anything, but I just do not know how to tell them about this.

At this time I miss my sisters. Cousin sisters, I mean.

Always taking care of me, and still taking care of me.

I just wish my sisters are around.
