Biskut and me sang this love ache song by KRU all the way back on Thursday after sending kakUmi and littlebro' off at Manchester Airport. it was quite sad as it felt like we only greeted them at the airport two days before, and then it was over. kakUmi cried even before we started the journey apparently, littlebro' reported. she cried when she brushed her hair, cried when she went to the kitchen to fix our breakfast, cried when she put on her shoes. all the way.

it is sad as we don't actually know when we're gonna see them again or fly home for good. Michael Buble be damned. so i've been calling up littlesis' every 5mins since they got home. and the house seems so much emptier. (altho' when littlebro' was here, he did wake up at 5.00pm, just in time for me to walk thru the front door after a hard's day work). and this time round i get to be the jealous one coz inadvertently everytime i call they are somewhere eating. and eating good food i tell you.

i have been bunking off work for the last couple of days coz i feel like it and i wanna keep Biskut company. (yea lah tu). am thinking of calling in sick for the rest of the week just to see what will happen. but this is a very dangerous game that i'm playing. so maybe not.

hope Biskut takes me out for coffee tonight. dah lama tak dating.

dreams of you

busy...busy bee.

this year's Easter weekend was hectic. v. glad to have been able to take my mom abroad and pay for her stuff. v.v. grown up. hihi. went to Amsterdam with her and littlebro for two days. can't say I liked the place tho'. it's too semak, crowded, busy, unorganised, chaotic. and for perantaus' sake they need to put up English signs here and there a bit. tercangak rusa ini di kampung itu. and i don't think if i were a few years younger visiting or with different people or in a better state of health, my impressions would have changed. the guys are absolutely hot though. and to quote littlebro', the girls are grade A lookin' but fail part speech... heheh. wonder what they thought when they heard us speaking. the only thing worth noting is the hotel we put up in. if i could bring it home with me...... the bed at least. so nice and comfy. fits all sizes!

finally got hold of the pc in aeons since the last. routine is to check up on blogs read and typepads browsed. gofugyourself is getting funnier by the nanosecond. friends on friendster are looking hot and well and safe and happy. so far, so good. stumbled upon the-ex-who-never-was and a photo of him and the wife-to-be. ooohhhh so cute. sama padan. cute and dinky fits the bill. as Kavana sang in 1996... MFEO. (i wonder how Kavana looks like now?? coz that other guy who used to play somebody on EastEnders, alah, Adam Rickitt? looks like battered haddock now!! -update provided by him participating on channel4's 'The Games'). Kavana was a teenage pin-up of MrsA. hihihiiihi those were the days of our lives!!!

another classmate finally got the ball and chain attached to her beau after 13 years of solid drama and theatricals. and she got married in red and white, obviously. and got her photos published in a local 'Blushing Bride' magazine. looks like Biskut and me have to dream of a new color scheme pronto.

speaking of which, kakUmi has been asking me every sixty seconds every other day or so. what exactly are our plans, when exactly are we flying home, who exactly is invited, and how much is the belanja and mas kahwin.... you know, the usual Q&A. to which i can only reply, when i lose another 22kg off this chunk i call my body at present. it soooooooooooo doesn't help when she starts making her millionairess-making-if-only-she-wants-to-be-a-millionairess karipap* at a rate of 60pieces a batch. oh they are such angel delights. and definitely fits Pringles slogan: once you pop, you can't stop.

suddenly that Kirsten Dunst' song off her movie where she likes her brother's BFF but he's trying to get his ex back who's fallen for that fake Brit accented guy who now is a doctor-cum-rockstar on ER plays in my head. kenapa jiwang nihhh???! and what is happening to my memory?????! any reader who knows which movie i'm babbling about, answers on a postcard please

missing chats with littlesis. and friends from home. is the towel ready to be thrown into the ring?

*karipap: currypuff; pastry pieces filled with potato and mince beef with a slight spicy (curry) flavour. deep fried until golden brown. best eaten while piping hot. and absolutely fabulous served with hot milky tea. should actually earn my mom the Turner and Nobel Prize in one sitting. and put her name on Forbes list if she does it full time and brand it. you've never had a karipap until you've tasted hers. grown men have been known to pledge allegiance and leave their wives for my mom after they've had one.
