Wednesday, December 12, 2007
hey Ya'll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!On the 8th till the 10th,i went to malaysia wit my famili( (except my sis, she stayed at my gran's place while we were away)it was uber coolness to be away from the hustle and bustle of the hectic singapore life. i initially din wanna go, cos i was hoping i would get a job before that,but after 2 weeks of rotting at home,i din get any offers, despite many futile attempts of applying at various shops in the east. nonetheless, it was my mum's idea of gg back to msia,going to visit my aunt in kampung u see, and i eventually gave up looking for a job, and decided to follow them.i wasn't as excited as compared to my mum,since she's gonna be seeing her sister, whom she sees once every year.other than that, she would call her sister at msia and will hog the phone, while the bills begin to pent up. hey, i dun blame her okay...hahai packed my bag the day before, on the friday, AFTER friday prayers( i go okkkk)heheheei made sure i brought enuf clothes and not forgetting my pants and sarong. (the last time i was there, i forgot to bring my pants and i had to wear my sarong for 3 days straight. disgusting, i know.So, on the very cold, rainy saturday morning(ok, it wasn't raining..)i woke up at 5 30, and went back to sleep until my dad woke me up with his usual "alarm"which sounds like a mad old indian man who was suffering from a severe hangover. hahaha(i'm sooo bad...)it was 6 o clock, and i went to shower, with the cold water almost giving me hypothermia(Ok, fine...i may have embellished and exaggerated a little...)
anyhu, my mom made egg-bread-fried-thingy
and i ate that for breakfast.
after everyone was awake,
we got ready and ensured that all the switches were off.
i was in charge and so i did.
we went out at 6 30
cos we were supposed to catch the bus going to batu pahat
which was gonna leave at 8
the seating plan sucked.
i tot we were gonna sit together as a family, but the stupid female person-ticket-seller gave us idiotic seats.
it was kinda like this:
[ ][ ] [ ][ ]
[ ][ ] [ ][ ]
[ ][ ] [ ][me]
[Lil bro][ ] [ ][ ]
[ Gran][ Mom] [dad ][ ]
yep, it was sumting like that,
anyhu, lets go back to the "leaving the house" part.
we were all outside the house, and was waiting for the lift.
standing there, making sure that nuting's left behind.
while we were in the lift,
my mum suddenly remembered sumthing.
she said to me,
"Have you switched off the fan in the room?"
and i was like,
" Oh, Hmm...I Dunnoe...Maybe?"
that was when i started having very scary visions of my house buring down and wadnot...
silly right?
haha
anyhu,
me,mum,gran and bro went to lavender/kallang bus station by cab,
while my dad went there by bus.
when we arrived at the bus st.,
i expected to see alot of peeps,
but it was kinda gloomy and deserted.
except for a group of makciks going to KL.
Whats that?
how i knew?
cos i kinda eavesdropped in their conversation a little...OK alot.
hahaha.
moments later my dad arrived, with newspaper in his hand.
mmy mum told him to get the papers...
so we waited for quite a while,
sinse we arrived at the station at 7.
soon enuf, many other people started turing up,
and in just minutes, the station was packed with people.
i finally figured that the reason why the sitting plan was soo shitty was bcos
the bus we were taking was already full.
i was getting veyr uneasy, cos i dun like taking buses with many noisy assholes...
then the bus arrived and the captain told the people going to batu pahat to board the bus.
to my surprise,
only a fraction of the people in the station boarded the bus.
hahaha.
it was obviously becos of the flooding and rainy season in malaysia.
stupid asses, those who din turn up.
pay soo much, then nvr go.
so, i was sitting alone in the bus, at my brother's place(he changed with me.)
and soon, there was this female/not-a-man/women placing her luggage in the compartment above my head,
and i tot she was gg to sit in front of me.
but noooooooooooooooo.
she was like,
"Err, would you prefer to sit inside(window seat), or am i going to?"
to translate this, she meant to say this,
" Yo Fatass,are you gonna move your huge hiney off my seat or am i gonna move it for you?"
so i was like," oh, you can sit inside. :D"
to translate this, i meant to say,
" Na'ah bitch. i aint moving this huge naturally brown ass of mine even if you paid me to. :D"
then my dad was like,
" Dia memang duduk situ."
"She's supposed to sit there."
now the problem was with my brother.
he was sitting alone in my sit at the front,
and my dad wanted my bro to sit with him.
we waited for the passenger sitting next to my dad to board,
and she did.
she was a chinese lady arnd her 50s,
and my dad spoke hokkien with her, asking for the exchange of seats with my brother,
giving excuses like
" He cannot sit alone, he will get scared."
and all that nonsense.
haha.
with my gran and mom sitting behind me, and my dad sitting on my right,
we waited for the bus to takeoff.
then my dad went out to take a puff.
i tot the bus was gonna take a while
but suddenly the captain came in and started to drive the bus.
me, being the kiasu one, thought that the bus was already leaving, WITHOUT my dad.
so i was like,
" err, mister.. err."
let me tell you reader, i was stammering like a new born Einstein trying to make out the words in a nirsery rhyme
then i looked out,
i saw my dad,
so i knock on the window(bear in mind the lady sitting next to me was shocked when i did that.)
i think i knocked on the window hard cos my dad was like shocked to see me knocking on the window.
haha
and he was on the outside!
i gestured to him trying to say that the bus is leaving(like that wasn't obvious enough)
but he was like smiling and shaking his head, trying to say "nevermind"
i panicked.
then the bus stopped right in front of the gate. it wasn't leaving yet,,
it was trying to pick up the other passengers!
how stupid!
i was sooo maluuu...
embarrassed beyond belief.
so i just looked down until my dad came back in the bus and the bus took off.
and 5 minutes into the journey, my dad told me to move from the bitch next to me
and sit in the seat behimd his seat. GEDDIT?
nvm...
so that was the first 2 hours of my trip. and its all still in singapore, lavender to be exact.
i'll stop here for a while, and i'll be back for the rest of the trip some other time okays!!!!
She was a hoochie in a bob
