We’re leaving for Penang at 5am later and I’m still up.

By the time I got home from JJ’s and showered, it was about 1230am. Spent some time paying off some bills (two had outstanding balance and one of them is nearly RM300 to pay!) and doing some other banking matters.

It’s really difficult to let go of Phoebe because she’s my first very own, big commitment. I’ve JUST settled the last payment and have to go collect the release letter from KL. I feel like it’s a shame to let her go but if one is to take a pragmatic approach, it’s the best thing because I’m hardly here.

It’s just a number plate, FeR…let it go. You can get personalized plates in NZ, so it’s not difficult to get the same “number”. Same goes to your things in your room. And it’s just a room with four walls, you can get a room anywhere. Bring you books, it’ll be okay. The piano is a bit trickier because it belongs to both you and her – of course you wouldn’t want to see it go but if there is no choice, it’s better to let it go than to let it rot at home when you know Malaysia is notorious for having high humidity.

Why must I be so sentimental and FEEEEEEEEELING.
*sigh*

It’s the festive season and I’m depressing myself. I’d better pack my bag for Penang now.

The day started quite early for me (considered early because I usually sleep in on days I don’t have to work – which is everyday since I’m on holiday! *hehe*) – korkor asked me to BE at Subang by 9am but…

I think I arrived at about 945am and SOMEONE WAS STILL ASLEEP! Only by 11am (some dusting and changing of curtains later) we left the house and I was starving!

We in the backseat…

…they at the front.
It’s nice to be chauffeured around. *hehe*

雲吞麵! On my “must eat this time” list.
Unfortunately it wasn’t a very good plate of 雲吞麵. First of all, they seem to have run out of plates and soup bowls (they were stacked in a big pail behind the stall) – so my noodles were served on a styrofoam plate. Not even a sliver of vegetable! A few pieces of 叉燒 and 雲吞 splattered on the side of the plate.

To top it all, it cost RM4.50!!! Korkor said it must be the CNY eve price.

I didn’t follow korkor back to Subang after picking mom up from the airport.

It took me AGES to get from Seremban2 to Senawang – just for this! It was well worth it…oh! I meant, y’know, meeting up with old friends.

Why so serious one?

Have no idea what they were talking about, I’m just there for the food.

Stipppp!
I know it’s all blur and doesn’t do you justice but it was the only photo of you that I had in my camera.

Eiz.

Contemplated for a while, whether or not to go to JJKwan’s place but they all decided against it. In a way I’m glad, because I have to get up early to go to KL tomorrow morning. If they were to have a get together, I’d be super kiasu and not want to be left out…and will probably end up utterly exhausted when I have to drive tomorrow morning.

Welcome back to the heat and humidity. It’s a love-hate thing, I guess.
I went out with dad to Maxis to get his mobile sorted (apparently he couldn’t send out any texts) and I had to wait for him in the car because I couldn’t get a park.

Sweat!

Well, I actually HAD a park but it was behind the building.
I was minding my own business, carrying the tray of eggs in my hand (and cans of pineapple in my bag) back to the car when I heard the sound of a motorcycle and I felt my bag hitting my ribs on the right. There was an older Chinese man standing not 3 feet from me saying, “You have to be careful, he was trying to rob you!”
That young Indian fart (he looked quite young) had the cheek to turn back and look if I fell or something. If only my reflexes kicked in earlier, I should’ve reached for one of the cans in my bag and threw it at him.

So there…my trusty bag. Torn. It was a freebie from Lancome (and it came from mom) but it served me well for YEARS!

My two feet are swollen. They were this way the last time I came back, too.
Hot weather = swollen feet?

Phoebe is looking quite sad. It makes me upset to hear her creaking and rattling. I don’t think the reason is “poor quality make”, I think it’s because she was not taken care of (properly) when I was away. The way she is handled would also make her fall apart easier. Quite sakit hati to see my first big purchase coming to this. Maybe I should just let her go so that she could have a better life. I’m still thinking.

I feel sad for you, despite being angry when I was far away. It’s inevitable, I guess.
I look around and see the mess, I sigh and wonder why are you still blind. If you care at all, it’s the weirdest way to show it and if you don’t, why do I still feel compelled to care?
It’s a time of confusion for me. I don’t know if I’m made to handle this big rubber band ball of feelings. Different colours, different elasticity, intensity…

Why do some people get suffocated by guilt and yet some do not even know the meaning of it? Why would some people feel so guilty by doing/not doing something that are expected of them and yet some do not know what it means by putting themselves into other people’s shoes?

It’s okay if I don’t make sense to you. Like I said, it’s a time of confusion.
