The Day I Blog Back (With A Vengeance)

The Shooting

All of your SMS-es and e-mails proved that I've been missed terribly :D. Sorry lah gang, I've been very very very very very very busy;

1) fighting with my younger brothers and sister (who are on holiday from uni and hostels) over modem usage. We have two PCs and two laptops around the house tapi modem satu je. Pantang masuk bilik air sekejap, mesti modem hilang. Must start nagging Abah for HotSpot in the house soon.

2) watching Desperate Housewives Season 2 episode 1 - 5 DVD the Friday before raya with The Group of Friends That I Know Will Love Me No Matter What before * (refer 7)

3) spending my whole paycheck for raya shopping. Spent over RM3++ on my prime (?) baju raya yang tak nampak cantik langsung dalam gambar. It is actually a pink beaded and embroidered baju kurung Johor with a beautiful fitting peach dress inside. Nyesal, nyesal, nyesal! Also bought TMOMD a matching baju Melayu Johor, maybe we could team up and wear them again for our .......... next year ;)

4) spending a week of raya at my parents' kampung. Visited over 30 houses of closest relatives (my father is the eldest of 7 siblings and mom is the second youngest of 9) and ended up with only RM 7 of duit raya, which I used to buy an extra DVD (P.S. DVDs cost only RM5 and RM1 for a VCD back in my kampung.)

5) reading Undomestic Goddess given to me from a darling cousin as my belated birthday present (finished reading in two and a half hours in between beraya over houses, he hee..)

6) pumping on pounds if not kilos of ketupat and pineapple tarts inside of me. And my award for best kuih raya of the year goes to; Chocolate Cornflakes & Almond Mawi. Ate three the whole container by myself.

7) * trying out Euro Wheel, Top Gun and The Challenger at the funfair (cool seh, ada funfair tengah-tengah KL! And it's not as tacky as it looks, pergilah try kalau tak caya..) located in between One Utama and Mutiara Damansara. Yes, I've been hanging on the peak of KL Tower but I don't think I'd go on that deadly Vortex even for another RM10,000 (on the other hand, Fear Factor Malaysia aired it's debut yesterday and tabik spring to Usamah & clan who bottom-upped those super yummy blended goat's brain, cencalok, belacan, rojak paste, budu, eyeballs, godknowswhatelse).

8) sharing fun with TMOMD's sister who returned to tanahair tercinta for a month of holiday from Canada. I've been driving her around; eating, shopping, eating, shopping, eating, shopping, eating, renewing her IC and passport (that I shall come back with a special entry), casting (picture her as a fuller and prettier version of Deanna Yusoff), eating, shopping.. She is now back abroad and terribly missed by us.

Will be busy again for the whole week so expect my next update next year. He hee..

Have to catch up with my classes (student-student ku, mari kembali ke kelas!), work out my lemang body, find time (and all the courage in the world) to get on that Vortex before the funfair closes up this 20^th, watch Exorcism of Emily Rose again 'cos I fell asleep 95% of the movie (don't laa go watch any horror or midnight movie with me), attend open houses and use up my True Fitness passes.

I'll end my first entry after (or before) the long hiatus with a belated pantun raya to those whose numbers are not in my phone:

"Di pagi raya tak buat yoga,
Berhenti sekejap melipat badan,
Kuucapkan selamat berhari raya,
Salah dan silap harap dimaafkan."

^{Si tembam yoga instructor yang tersandar kekenyangan di sofa rumah saudara dalam baju raya di hari kedua.}

I have another shoot later in the noon (cuba teka magazine apa...) and I hope I can still fit 'em Stella. Serious buntat sekarang, wehh!!
