& your soul is all i ever wanted
The simple, pure joys of home
Yes. I am HOME. surrounded by familiar walls that have watched me grow up, a family whose presence I miss beyond crazy in Singapore.... life is GOOD.
After my chem paper yesterday I rushed around, packed and changed in an hour and was out of the hostel!! Did my schopping in orchard in a total jiffy, sped around the speedy gonzales my dad says i speak like, and was in novena by 2. HAHA. should have bought the 2.30 tickets!! But I was too happy for any doubt and began to gobble the 5 books I bought, all of which are not for me. I bought myself the Utada Hikaru Ultra Blue CD i'm listening to it now. she totally rocks! at 4 i ran down to buy some chocolate for my chocolate loving family and grab something to ensure I wouldn't starve on the bus, rushed up, grabbed my ONE backpack and hopped on the bus! and WOOSH! we were on our way!!!!!
Ah the familar sight of the oil palm plantations, the longer white lines on the road, the familiar highway signs, and the GLORIOUS 100% visible sunset just made me feel soooo good. I read and read in the bus, and fell asleep and reached Bangsar at an earlier than expected 930pm!! Dad picked me up and took me to KL for hawker food. Rapture. Granted, the place he took me to is located in some tiny alley in KL, behind the tables and chairs is a shack made of zinc sheets....it really was home, I thought as I wriggled my toes happily in the anticipation of HOKKIEN MEE. HEARTS. then i caught sight of COCKROACHES and RATS and LIZARDS in the vinicity....ugh. although the food was good my dad noticed that I was totally distracted by the cockroaches scuttling around the drain about 3 feet away. I know some people who probably couldn't stay there for more than 3 seconds had they been in my place, I'm surprised by my lack of hysteria myself. but no worries, I won't be getting stomach problems as I am EXTREMELY happy to note the cook is superbly hygenic and the utensils were all clean. hahaha. yay yay yay.
came home, was soooo happy to listen to the radio again, and to songs i can actually sing to, and the usual KL traffic jams, and the sight of the familar turns and highways just made me HAPPY. Home at last!! Hugged my mom, sisters and DOG. OMG. MY DOGGIE IS FAT!!!! SHE IS SOOOO FAT!!! and she was so excited to see me!!! just a bundle of jumping hopping energy i LOVE HER SO MUCH!!! and my mom made some chicken thingy that just smacks of the goodness of home cooked food. ah JOY BLISS HAPPINESS. Then I sat with my mom and helped her with the laundry while chatting away about life and everything in general.
mom is cooking for me now. HEARTS. i should go down and see. but I'd be a nuisance in the kitchen and I'm blogging. its stingray asam style I think i'm going to die of happiness eating my lunch today. went to school for my SPM cert this morning, saw my dear add maths teacher and my darlin form 3 form teacher and upper secondary sejarah teacher. I sppp wanted to intrude on my physics teacher's lab session but didn't dare, she was sooo into the lesson I could hear her enthusiastic voice from the end of the block. Sigh. I need to go and roam around my secondary school on of this days, for the memories.
and I so totally love my doggie. Such a monkey. ^^
going to stay with my cousin tonight, and will be abck tomorrow, must meet my pals and will be off to Asahan on Saturday. Catch me if you can, trips back are such a rush but I'm LOVING EVERY MINUTE. Even sleeping in my weird positions on the hosue sofa brings infinite pleasure. and to all you people who are enjoying the after prelims feeling and are happy for me, I love you all too!!! hahaha. and the only teensy regret i have is i can't spend time with my classmates on outings but we'll go out someday together and hopefully get more than half the class to be there!!!
ahhh the asam smells HEAVENLY.
ciao!
