My family and I finally had a "normal" holiday. We planned the trip about 2 weeks earlier. We had received an invitation to my mum's colleague's' wedding on the 26th of September. So, we used it as a reason and extended that day to a whole week's trip.
We started our journey to Kuala Lumpur. It was about 8.00 in the morning. The weather was not too warm or too cloudy, just soothing like my dad's mood. ^^
We took a stop at Yong Peng at 9.20am. There was a shop that sells some kind of baked bread(?), but we call it "Doriyaki". My mom always try to take a chance to stop whenever we pass through that town. She went into the shop as we sat in the car, saliver dripping down from our lips, anticipating the tasty "Doriyaki". But...... to our dissapointment... mummy came back into the car empty-handed. She told us that there were many people wanting to buy, but the shop owner said that they have just started kneading the dough, and it needs to ferment too... that will take forever for us to wait. So... we return to the main road and continued our journey...
We arrived at Kuala Lumpur after 5 hours. We took quite a long time and dozens of turns just to get to aunt Yong, house. How weird is that? We can't remember the road to the house we stayed in just one year ago!
After parking the car, we went out to have lunch. Daddy odered and did his chanting of us not knowing how to speak in dialect... When we were tasting the food, aunt Yong came to say hi and went back home first as the kids were tired after going out.
When we went back, everyone was tired out and some just drop down and slept soundly.
In the evening, we went to the new book store, Popular. My dad and I went to search for reference books because I complained that the text books were just not enough. We spent maybe hours? And finally got at least one book for each SPM subject. Only until we were going to the counters that I saw that the books that we were going to buy was as heavy as the earth itself...well maybe too exagerating... But it really is heavy. When the girl at the counter was scanning the price tags, I saw each and every one of the prices that came up on the machine.....it's going to be a very large amount, I thought. The total came out after 11 scans...RM 196.00... O MY GOD!! And the scariest part was that my dad was willing to buy all of it for me...and suddenly, those pile of books were on my head, but not in the form of books...in the form of stress, not in the form of atmospheric pressure. "What am I going to do? He's going to be expecting distinctions! O dear..."
We went home after that and have the dinner that aunt Yong prepared. Mummy and daddy went out to buy a few stuff like toothpaste, shampoo......
I can't remember when did I slept...
"Hello pillow, what time did my heavy head started pressing you down into a pizza?"
