my mum just told me that I don't have to work part-time during my holidays...instead...i've to spend full-time now teaching my brothers. Jonathan's PMR is coming soon, so my mum asked me to guide him (sigh. My mum has enrolled Timothy and Joshua in piano classes so I've to teach them too to accelerate their learning process so that they learn faster.
so, my mission for July-August is:
1. teach Jon
2. teach Tim and Josh piano
3. clean the house
4. download tons of Japanese dramas
Sad.
I'm finally leaving KL after staying for 1.5 years there.
It's like another home in KL.
I like KL because:
1. freedom to move around
2. freedom to do anything I like
3. freedom to cook anytime I want
4. freedom to manage my budget
5. freedom to watch tv anytime I want
Seems like it all boils down to freedom. sigh. I enjoy traveling around KL, going to places I've been before. Unlike Miri, I'm confined to my home. I can't go out often and have to return home early. If you were to ask me which place I'm more familiar with, I would say KL! Haha. In KL, I know the General Hospital is on Jalan Pahang. But in Miri, I don't know. And some more, I don't even know what's nice in Miri, where to see nice beach, eat nice food...but I only where to buy cheap things la...Boulevard and Servay! Haha.
I actually sort of miss KL already. Yesterday ice-skating was really fun tho I'd to suffer the after-effect of ice-skating (bruises). But thinking it's the last time I get to see them makes me feel sad. I might meet Yen Bee again. But Anu, I don't know. Lawrence too. I was really forgetful for not bringing my camera. Sigh. Now have to rely on my friends to send me the photos. Hope they send me *crossing fingers*
so far I can only think 1 thing that makes me feel good about leaving KL. It's is that I don't have to become Esther's slave anymore! *dodging the pillow thrown by Esther* For the past one week, Esther has been made Queen Esther because she didn't have to do any house chores coz her exams is coming. So, I've to wash the dishes, cook and wash her clothes for her. See, how nice I am. Don't ask me to do that for you Steph. Humph..unless you pay me. I don't know Esther misses me or not. Nobody for her to bully anymore. Nobody to snuggle when she sleeps and nobody to show her mousie face to anymore. Ah well Esther, you have to wait another 2 weeks before you can do that to me again in Miri
ok, so long KL. I will be back in end-of-August to make my visa. Hope can meet up with my friends again. This time I will bring my camera along.
Went ice-skating yesterday.
It went horrible :(
I kept falling down until my pants became so wet. Lawrence was pretty good at ice skating. Though he never roller blade before, he could learn ice skating really fast. Me ler...hopeless case. From 2pm to 6.30pm, the only thing I could do is balance myself on the ice. I still don't know how to glide on the ice.
This morning I woke up to find my whole body aching. Not only that, my knees are blue-black because of the bruises.
OUCH:
oh yea...i've taken off my braces..finally...today! So happy. But doctor said that I've to wear the retainers full-time from now on for one year. So for the whole year, I'm stuck with this thing. LOL. Very troublesome coz everytime I eat, I've to take off my retainers
It’s been one week since my exams finished. And I feel as if it’s already past one month. Maybe because for the past one week had been really hectic for me, traveling up and down, north and south in Selangor. Finally, today I could really rest for one full day in my room.
Yesterday was by far the most eventful day for me. I woke up early, brought my cousin’s accounts books to college to pass to a junior who wanted to buy them. But, before I left college, the junior messaged me saying that the lecturer wanted the 10th edition accounts books and asked whether I could return. Sigh, I thought I’d at least successfully managed to sell of the acc books but in the end I didn’t. I returned her the money but told her to keep the books. No use keeping those books in my room anyway.
Then I quickly rush to a nearby photo shop to take my passport photo. 6 for RM15. Is it cheap? I don’t know. It took 5 minutes for the whole process, taking photo and processing it. Anyway, I couldn’t care much anymore coz I had to rush to Putrajaya to apply for my letter of conduct.
After that, I went to the wet market to buy some turnips and carrots to make popiah. Haven’t been to market for at least 1.5 months. Even the aunty commented that she hasn’t seen me for so long. And I was unusually quite talkative that day and said that that was my last day doing shopping in the wet market. I told her that I will be going back to S’wak next week. ‘Oh, so you are from S’wak ah?’ the aunty asked. So, the conversation led on until the aunty knew that I’m going to UK. ‘Wah…your father must be a rich man!’ *sweat* My father not rich la…it’s just that my parents have been saving money since they started working to support their children for higher education (proud that I’ve such thoughtful parents *beaming*)
By the time I arrived at Putrajaya, it was 1.30pm. I thought I could finish early but it turned out that I was wrong. I was told to sit on bus 426 and 427 coz the man at the information counter told me that he didn’t know where the ministry of foreign affairs was. Since bus 426 and 427 were under rapidkl so it was sort of free for me to sit coz they were included in my ‘pas harian sepadu’ ( RM7 to use all services provided my rapidkl for one whole day). I later found out that the MFA was at Wisma Putra and I knew a bus called Nadi Putra which actually go to Wisma Putra but I didn’t want to use it since I’ve to pay. So I decided to give Rapidkl. I used bus 426 first, halfway through the journey:
Me: kalau mahu pergi Wisma Putra, bas mana patut saya guna?
426 Conductor: aiya…kamu sudah salah naik…itu bas 427 (very confidently)
Me: yakah? Kenapa tak ada tulis pada kertas ini? (I showed him the bas route for all rapidkl buses)
426 Conductor: memang begitu punya…ada pass by wisma putra.
So at Putrajaya Sentral, the 426 conductor asked me again to use bus 427. I was kinda unsure coz I looked at the bus route and found out that bus 427 travels nowhere near wisma Putra. So before I got on bus 427, I asked the conductor again. And the conductor said yes.I shouldn’t have listened to him but should have trusted my six sense. And it turned out it didn’t go to Wisma Putra at all! Sigh. Instead, it passed by a place called ‘Perdana Putra’ which I think both the conductors thought is the same as Wisma Putra…lol. I wasted about 1.5 hour ‘touring’ around Putrajaya just because I wanted to save money. So by the time I reached Wisma Putra it was 3.30pm. Lucky the office closes at 4 so I was in time.
When I reached KL, it was 5.30pm. Since I’d the pas thingy, I decided to tour around KL using some of the rapidkl buses I always see at KL Sentral. I hopped into the a bus and stopped at some place which I believed is Chow Kit since I saw many hotels there. Then I hopped on one again and reached Titiwangsa. Since I was there, I decided to check out whether the rumour Esther told me was true saying that Kamal Medical bookstore has closed down coz the owner was heavily in debt. And to my shock, it was opened! Business as usual. Lol. If I’d known, I would have brought the booklist Steph gave me and money with me la…so geram. Shouldn’t have believed that stupid rumour.
Boarded the LRT at Titiwangsa station and stopped at Sri Petaling. Esther said the Pasar Malam opens every Tuesday so I decided to go there by bus since I wanted to maximize my use of my RM7 pas. Instead, I waited for 1 hour for the –tut- bus to come but it didn’t turn up. Sigh. %$&*@! *cursing*
Went home pretty angry and jumped into the swimming pool to chill out.
Lesson of the day: never believe rumours until you really see it with your own eyes and always trust your instinct
Finally after 18+ years…
I’ve finally understand why whenever I smile in photos, my smile appears to be crooked.
I’ve asymmetric jawbone.
I thought it was kinda normal to see my smile crooked coz I thought I saw many people having not-straight smile.
Not until during one of my visits to my ortho then I realized that my jawbone is asymmetrical. I’m yet to know what exactly asymmetric jawbone is. But I know that it is a condition where half of your face is longer than the other.
I read the newspaper that day which reported that scientists have found a way to make tooth re-grow and possibly cure asymmetric jawbone using ultrasound. Yay. But I would be an old woman by then. Maybe yes maybe not. Who knows?
It's damn frustrating and irritating travelling around KL by train especially when I live so far in Bukit Jalil.
From my condo to One Utama needs 1.5 hour including the bus ride. To my dentist, also 1.5 hour. To DUMC, also 1.5 hour. To college 1 hour (plus 15 min walking) and the nearest I can get to is sg Wang with at least 40 min travelling time (plus walking too coz dun want to use monorail...damn expensive). Sigh. How I wish to stay near Kl Sentral like my friends so that when I want to go anywhere, I just hop in any bus or train down to Subang or Sg Wang. But what to do, I've to make such a big sacrifice to live in Bukit Jalil with my sis where the rent is cheaper as we share a room. My sis lucky la...her uni is just less than 10 minutes' walk from the condo.
I thought I've got used to travelling to and fro from Bukit Jalil until after my exams, only then I realised how much I hate it. I'd to sell off all my A levels textbooks and past years my two sis and I have accumulate for the past 4 years. 3 boxes in all. Imagine me carrying one box of books walking from my condo to the star LRT station for 10 min, board the train to Masjid Jamek and then from there use PUTRA to KL Sentral. And from there, I've to walk 15 minutes only then I reach my college. One word: TIRING. My back was aching with pain and my shirt was drenched with sweat by the time I reached col. Altogether I'd to travel to col 3 times to finish 'transferring' my books and that's not all. I've to pass my physics, chem and maths notes + past years to my parents who came up to KL. This time it's even worse, it's like one big pile of book which mount up as high as 50cm (am I exaggerating?) and weigh 14 kg. I initially wanted to put in a box but changed my mind and decided to put them in a suitcase with wheels. Wise move. At least now I don't have to carry them. I only have to pull them. But, my gosh...I've still have to carry the damn heavy suitcase up and down staircases.
I can foresee me travelling up and down for the next few days. So much things to do. I haven't applied for my letter of conduct in Putrajaya and I haven't gone shopping to look for Steph's shoes. Some more I have to take frequent trips to Sg wang coz I haven't finished knitting my gloves and sweater to bring to UK. Sigh. How I wish I've a car... :(
