So. uhm. when i bought my flight ticket home back in december (i think.. or prolly earlier), i decided to surprise my dad for his 62nd bday which is on the 11th of june. I told my parents im coming back on the 13th when actually my flight's on the 11th and id reach kl at about 2 pm.

so yeah. *lalala* super excited to come back home.

Then, on the day i was about to catch my flight, the first train that we (me and biey - classmate) got on, one of the two engines died so the train was going super effing slow. We reached Paddington Station about half an hour later. After that, we were suppose to take the underground tube train for about less than hour. but yeah. of all days - they were running a tube strike. and so, out of the 200 over tube trains in london, only 55 were working. we were asked to take a bus instead - free of charge. we had to wait for the bus for what felt like ages but i guess it was about less than half an hour. Then, we got into the bus. that was when i started to loose ALL hope...

Im not sure about how the typical traffic congestion is in London, but on that day.. the bus was barely moving. not only was everyone packed in the bus like a can of sardine, it took us about an hour and a half to get to Liverpool Street. *sigh*. Once we reached the train, luckily we got on the train without much hassle. we didn't have to change tickets or anything since the actual train we were suppose to take left about 2 hours before. So nway. yeah. we took the train. it took us about 30 mins i think. When we were in it, i was calculating the time and all, and i was like. wow. we might actually be able to make it - since the flight's suppose to be at 6.10pm and we have to check in at least 45 mins before. so yay for us!!

by the time we reached the check in counter, it was 50 minutes before the departure. and errr.. the counter was closed. to our despair, we found out that the counter closes an HOUR before the departure flight. WTF kan!!! eeee!!! ugh! so we had to pay extra and wait for about 32 hours before the next flight.

Well, on the bright side : the flight ticket wasnt burnt. (i didnt know then that usually air asia just burns ticket if people miss the flights etc) i had biey as company and the chairs there were *surprisingly* REALLY comfortable. Even though we sorta starved ourselves (ate a sandwich the whole day and shared a plate of carbonara before the flight and had nothing on the flight except for biscuits), overall it wasnt that bad.

Now, i'm just super glad im home. My parents, the kids, neil and kak lin picked me up from lcct, had dinner at yasin! (walao! i miss thai! muahahahha) gave the family their presents and then slept in a comfy queen sized beds with the kids. It was all so worth it.

I've been doing a lot since then. Papa's bday dinner, saw nenek and the relatives, watched movies on the laptop in my room with the kids, registered for driving licence (had a 5 hour theory class just this morning), opened a savings account (now i have a visa card. lol), and now nat's on the way to pick me up. we're going out to hang out and catch a movie. YAY! :D:D:D and friday's her bday. gonna have dinner together with her friends and family. should be fun!

and on the 3rd of July, made a date with nikiee to go shopping. YAY! omg. i miss her like $^@#&$^@#$%^%^!!! im so gonna squeeze her till she's out of breath when i see her (or.. rather the other way around. lol)

miss youuuss baby!!! (Azmi, if u’re reading this, u suck. I want chaching!;))
