how was your long weekend?
mine.... ok ler. on haji eve, i left office around 8pm. due to the holiday on friday, we have to make sure all things were settled before the long weekend. normally, if it's already dark outside, i will not walk to klcc. instead, it would be monorail, star lrt, then ktm for home.
and i'm usually in my own world when i'm inside the train. cucuk mp3, listening to my favourite playlist, and also dont want "stranger" to talk to me. but a stranger did talk to me on haji eve.
i was standing beside this uncle. and i smelled something fishy. no, the smell was not from the uncle. he was a clean uncle. he was holding a plastic bag. i was guessing what's inside the bag. we acknowledged each other by nodding. then i continued to stare at the window, looking at my own reflection :) then i noticed he kept looking down at the plastic bag he was holding. i also looked down. i was like, " why ah? the bag dripping meh? i didnt feel anything on my shoes wor".
and he started talking to me in mandarin.
uncle : did my plastic bag 'hit' your leg?
me : no
uncle : ok. good that it didnt. it's hot inside. i bought asam laksa.
me : ah.. no lah, it didnt. (ah.... now i know where the fishy smell came from. the bag was no where near my legs, but it was very near to the person who was sitting in front of us. but uncle didnt bother about him, instead he was more concerned about me! hahaha.)
...quiet for awhile
uncle : working?
me : ah.... yes.
uncle : everyday also this packed? (he was refering to the packed train)
me : usually not, but today very packed.
uncle : oh.. where you stay?
me : kajang
uncle : oh..then where are you stoping? sg besi?
me : no. stop at bdr tasik selatan. then change ktm.
uncle : oh yeah yeah..that station. i stay near bkt jalil. i park my car there. today first time take lrt to go petaling street. i packed asam laksa.
me : (smile at him...)
uncle : very susah if want to drive to kl.
me : yeah. very jam. that's why i take train.
... then we stopped talking to each other. after a few stops, there was an empty seat near where i stood. i turned to him, asking him to take the seat. really beh tahan those young chaps who were ignorant about elders standing in the train. hai.... he took the seat. smiling.
announcement: next station, bdr tasik selatan.
uncle looked at me and said "it's your station". i nodded and smiled. maybe he thought i could not hear the announcement since i was wearing the earphone. and when i turned around to get down, he waved to me, bye bye. hahaha! so cute the uncle!
oh, by the way, asam laksa doesnt smell nice when it's inside air-cond train/car. smell like vomit. the soury... eh...( i should not go further to spoil my favourite noodle, hahaha)
star lrt ride was fun, but the ktm ride turned sour. kanasai, the train got delayed! i waited for about 40min. and when the train came, it was the old fashion, first batch train. hate that type the most because of the limited entrance into the train. i managed to squeeze into the stuffy train. can die... no aircond! i pulled out my 'orange fan' and started fanning myself. noticed some people looking at me. jangan jeles! things i have inside my big bag.
#1 : my orange fan!
later that night, received sms from boss. have to go back to office the next day, ie hari raya haji! to meet at 7.10am. *gulp*. hai... it's not "international" holiday. have to revise costing for london.
haji day started off by waking up at 5.53am. internal clock woke me up. reached the office by 6.55am. we stayed for about two 2 hours, and it was a wrap. curry mee was waiting for me at home for breakfast!
didnt want to go back to bed, me & sister went to alamanda for a movie. complimentary tickets. why waste? i chose "a christmas carol" although "new moon" is the HIT movie now. how was the movie? emm..... ok guar. it was based on the book by charles dicken.
#2 : mr scoorge
while waiting for the movie to start at 1230pm, saw this in front of the box office. chipmunks are back! coming in december.
#3 : theodore, alvin & simon
had lunch at nando's and quickly went back to take a nap! it was raining. didnt want to waste the good weather! muahahaha.... night time, dinner with family's friend. a sefood feast at hulu langat. food was so so only....
saturday.... kids yoga at 11am. only 3 girls came for class. but it was the smoothest class. full 45mins. usually when there were more than 5 of them, the younger ones would be restless after 15mins. nothing to do after class, i went to slumberland again! 1 hour.. and the rain woke me up. pouring! thunder & lightning... the sky was angry!
like that lah.. my weekend. today... no more nap this afternoon. i am keeping zzz for night time. have a pleasant sunday everyone!
