Thanksgiving comes early this year!
Meaning, bersyukur sebab The Parents dah balik dari Kota Kinabalu entangled me with all the chauffeuring, cooking, cleaning and babysitting! Bukan tak biasa buat (ceh, reputation kena jaga?) tapi bila sorang-sorang in charge of everything memang boleh bagi mild depression.
NASIB BAIK SPM sekali seumur hidup kalau tak dah bergaduh dengan Qawiem yang main order je nak pergi sana-sini group study. Baru tadi hantar pergi Seremban Jaya (that is 40 minutes drive with Chintet-speed-skills and traffic). Esok paper Add Math baru malam ni nak pergi group study? Questionable sungguh.
And Ma asked 'What do you want from KK? ' I asked what's there for me? She said pearls and those kind of stuff, and she knew I'm not into such things. So I said, 'Ma nak tie rack scarf satu boleh?' Haha.
Yeah Thanksgiving comes early baby!
kesyukuran
another day yang biasa
Still in the Angelic-First-Child-Syndrome, I took Qusyairi out with the other cousins. There were 5 of us, watching Quantum of Solace and a game of bowling.
First, I want to tell you that I don't suck at all at bowling. I thought the first one with the berries was quite a bit of luck, but this time around I know I can bowl. Can je lah, tak tere macam Azra.
But my cousin Abang Nazri was persistent to tease me that I have this let's-go-to-the-mall-walk until I reached to the point where you throw the ball. Malu la tak confident nanti orang cakap baudget PRO. And tadi baru perasan ada alley tu ada arrow-arrow. Haha!
Everyday I called Ma to report details at home. Lampu dah bukak? Dah. Gate dah lock? Dah. Adik dah solat? Dah.
It's almost 10 pm now, kena hantar tuition lagi. Pukul 12 midnight nnt jemput. Kereta sudah isi minyak RM30 untuk satu hari. SATU HARI!
i find myself to be annoyingly nice
...because I just made some hotdogs with hotdogs buns and mustard and pickles with lemonade for Qawiem's friends who actually came for a suspicious 'last minute SPM discussion'.
...I companied Qusyairi over Fantastic 4 Silver Surfer and laughed at the jokes as if it was my first time watching.
...rub the cat's tummy (yes my cat doesn't has a name) until he felt asleep (on my lap!)
kind of miss u
- When you are really tired, you have no energy to even smile or giggle at little bothers' jokes and stories. Today I have to make breakfast, send to school, fetch them, cook lunch, make sure they take their supplements, laundry, housekeeping, send to training, fetch again, prepare tea, prepare dinner, send tuition, fetch again, and my work stopped at 11.30 am!
- If you claimed to be a super-multi-tasker BUT u have a maid, that's just cheating babe.
- Nasib baik 5 hari je. Malam-malam tido ketakutan and in fright paranoia sbb parents tak ada. I was so scared that I even wake up to the sound of croaking frogs. Last-last tarik tilam tidur bilik the boys hehe.
- Hence I treasure the time Suraya (Hanim) came over to pass the CD and we went stalking some old friends! ;p
today i go full throttle
The precious parents went to Kota Kinabalu and left me being head of the house for 5 days. I have to wake up at 5 in the morning to make sure Qawiem is awake. Then crawl back to bed and wake up again around 645 to prepare breakfast. (Muka I masam mengantuk tak payah cerita lah, mesti ramai dah biasa). Then drive them to school.
Come back, do some laundry, dishes, and all that stuffs then mandi. Perkara biasa tak payah explain. Around 11am prepare lunch. Ha yang ni I nak cerita.
Everyone closed to me knew by heart that I don't cook. I am simply not interested to know how to cook.
Ma always nag me and I assure her when the time comes, I will be good. Just not time yet, nanti bila terdesak baru lah buat. Macam tak biasa.
Before Ma left, she instructed me on the menu, since it's SPM and she tried to avoid eating out. Today I made sup tulang dengan kicap pedas tu. Tomorrow spaghetti bolognaise, and Ma prepared some rendang dinding for Friday so I need to add on something else like goreng sayur ke ape. (Ingat I helpless sgt ke? Ops ter-bitter lagi)
But the thing is kan, I don't eat what I made myself. Like today, tak sentuh langsung mee hun sup, rela makan Chipsmore cicah susu.
Kalau nampak I cengkung, mungkin ada 2 sebab,
satu sebab tak makan, satu sebab rindu.
today I paint the town, grey
Today too, I refuse to listen to my gloomy inner-self. And tried to make myself busy (by sleeping?) helping father painting the new room.
I know I'm not bad painter (even the contractor said I have steady hands) so I offered to help a bit. Since I have no old clothes that deserved 'to be painted', Ma made me wear Ayah's old blue coverall and I folded the sleeves, since of course, it outsized me. Rasa macam The Inside Man lah pulak.
Except that Clive Owen crime lady has Cleavage capital C
Well, that is the closest I get to wearing coverall I guess. (read with sarcastic tone)
While painting dengan semangat (kena semangat sikit, kalau lembut-lembut nanti cat kat roller susah lekat kat dinding), I shouted to my father
I : Alaaaa Ayaaaaah! Nak hujan laa, rasa air rintik-rintik!
Ayah : Tu bukan hujan, tu cat lah..
Then I look at my hands, there were a few tiny drops of paint. Yelah kalau kuat and laju sangat press the rollers, mesti ada drops terpecik sikit kan.
Haiya lupe pakai rubber glove!!
are we the perfect match?
Today I refuse to listen to my inner-self, that is becoming bitter and all soured-up due to uhm.. (ok lets not finish that sentence shall we)
Since the house is under renovation phase the dusts and sands are like your second skin of your feet. I'm enjoying the luxury of wireless, and blogging with heavily cushioned pillow to support the skinny butt of mine (I love to do that as long as I can remember). And take up new series, Californication with the super hot but lame David Duchovny and shuffling over Bittersweet's Perfect Match. (Lagu ini menyentuh jiwa laaaa)
No, Fa, I tak recommend lagu tu untuk wedding your sister ye!
Today, mom said not ONE, but TWO things that can make me choke on my own tounge.
'Ampaian besar ni tak payah dah la Ma, kita pakai ampaian roda tu laa..' Me said referring to the relocation of ampaian kain when all the renovation mess is over.
'Eh.. nanti korang tu dah ada family, kena pakai ampaian besaaar' Mama said and I terdiam terus.
Ok, lagi satu malas lah I nak tulis, memalukan diri sendiri.
I don't blame Ma, she has no idea I'm on no speaking term with the bf ;(
kenapa prison break stops at episode 8?
Today is moody day. I am whole day buat muka, strike on no speaking term to anybody unless necessary, and I don't know what kind of benefit I get from that. Dropped by 7E for Slurpee and Qusyai made a scene by spilling slurpee kat lantai 7E Paroi Jaya tu ha. I said sorry to the cashier girl, and I totally mean it.
The bf was asking me on how I would like his new room to be decorated. He even said to put on some long cushioned chairs by the window for my reading pleasure. I must say he's becoming cool-er and sweet-er since kerja ni.
And I saw ridiculously cute kittens abandoned at the pool. Btw kenapa orang macam tak ada akal nak tinggalkan kucing kat swimming pool? Bukan ada cafe ke, kantin ke, kucing-kucing tu boleh makan. Need to borrow cages from friend kalau nak bawak kucing balik. But house is a mess at the moment. Takut kucing sesak nafas sbb sini dusty dgn construction work.
Anyway, nnti kucing kat rumah yang sekor ni, dia terasa tak kalau I bawak balik kucing baru?
a common Saturday of my life
Then we drove (we? I mean my father, I slept the whole way ;p ) to Putra Heights for some old good times with family. Tengok rumah baru my uncle, comment nenek
'Besar berdengung rumah kau Haruuunnnn..!'
Then balik, pening kepala (sbb bangun pagi) and my neck hurts (sbb tidur banyak dalam kereta).
On the different note, I slept late yesterday listening to Snow Patrol, Hundred Million Suns! Haha, ada ke orang tidur lambat dengar whole album (ade Chintet! orang takde keje!) and I must, must say I love it!
