I only had less than 3 hours sleep when Mom woke me up.. I showered and got my stuff ready. We drove to Ayer Keroh for Kolej Yayasan Saad Family Day Celebration. We arrived in KYS and Opie took Mom to meet the teachers. Me and Kakwe (accompanied by Arina) wandered around the college and we decided to go to the library. It was freezing cold but since I didn’t have enough sleep, I just bury my face onto my crossed arm on the table. Tido. Slamber depan budak2 KYS. hahah.. gua pun budak boarding school.. tapi dulu tak penah tido dlm library sebab jaga nama bf (now ex, and my schoolmates would know why i said i had to jaga nama my bf).. ahahahahahahah.
We had lunch at the dining hall (maybe they want the parents to feel part of their children’s life in KYS). I saw this cute tall form fiver (yeah i know!! i always have a thing for tall guys so age doesnt matter okay, yang penting tinggi. hahaha) walked pass my table. He smiled to me when i passed him on the way out of the dining hall. Opie later told me he’s Razak’s house captain.. Owhkaayy…
Went to Jusco (duuh… it’s Melaka.. nak pegi maner lagi other than the zoo or noraniza idris’ place?) and then to Fathin’s place to freshen up before we go for the dinner and talentime. I straightaway hijacked Kak Fathin’s room and slept on her bed. Koma terus.
We went back to KYS and had dinner. Then watched the "Battle of The Voices II" in the Great Hall. Man.. these kids are talented.. Kalau vocal out sikit pun showmanship tetap ader.. Taun depan nak pakser Opie masuklaa.. what amused me was, the winners for both categories (solo and group) were the ones who were not as hyper and energetic.. very the lembut performances (oh God, since when aku pandai cakap macam nih?)… the group winner sang Manisnya Senyumanmu (by Elite, no less.. hahahahaha.. nostalgia skolah rendah Beta nih) but i can’t remember what the solo winner song was. But the girl was wearing tudung laa.. see.. tudung tudung also can rock the hall. Tapi bukan rock song lah.. (don’t get me wrong here, rock in the sense that can still blow the audiences away-lah). So, moral of the story, it doesn’t matter what you wear, if you do good, you’ll still win.. huehuehue.. ewaahh.. rooting for tudung-clad chicas lak.. heheh…
I could barely open my eyes when driving back to Shah Alam. Maintained the speed at 120kmh and reached Shah Alam in less than 1.5 hours.. giler tak tahan ngantuk woo.. sampai rumah tak basuh muka pun terus koma.
Sunday. August 13, 2006 (Aleya’s Birthday Party)
Both my phones screamed at 9am.. punyerlaa poyo nak bangun pukul 9 so that can reach Mc D by 10. But when i saw that Mama was still in the shower sambung tido balik. Bangun2 balik dah dekat 9.30am.. aper lagi menggelabah laa berlari to shower, picked my clothes (we agreed to wear jeans with white top), make up ala kadar and turun to the car. Baru start kete Kak We Chik dah call tanye where were we.. coz the other guests have arrived. So i sheepishly said i just started the car and will be there shortly…
Adoi.. this was like the earliest birthday party i ever attended. at 10am. Aleya’s First birthday (my cousin’s daughter, Tok Ku’s first cicit). Hahaha.. penuh dgn orang tua (i mean adults laa.. am not tua yet okay, that’s why i insist Aleya calls me Kak Ajah instead of Mummy/Auntie/Nda Ajah).
Birthday girl tak tau pape pon.. juz seronok tgk ramai orang layan dier.. ramai betul aunties and uncles dier.. banyak betol present dier.. Kalau anak aku ader ker ramai macam tue yg datang.. skarang ramai laa sebab Aleya sorang jer great-granddaughter, nanti dah ramai kazens yg kawen and ader anak, konfem dah tak larat nak attend all the parties.. hahahah melalut pulak aku nih.. bukan stakat calon suami, calon bf pun takder nih.. hahahaha..
I didn’t plan to join the kiddie games.. yelar.. games budak2 kat Mc Donald’s.. isk.. tak kuaser.. skali time tgh seronok makan (didn’t get to finish the fries pon) our younger cousins came and pulled us to the party room.. memandangkan i never fail to be a good sport, i joined them.. Jijiey reluctantly joined the "passing the balloons" game at the last minute. Tgk2 he was among the last four or five (with the kids, he’s the only adult). So much for the reluctance to join in the first place. Ngahahahahaa..
Kak We and Yee joined the last game. Siap jadi joint winners.. hahahahaha.. ntahpaperlaaa…
mula2 semua taknak masuk.. skali dah join tak kasi can kat budak2 to win.. kelakar.. competitive tak bertempat.. hahahahahah.. it was hillarious actually.. we couldn’t stop laughing..
And being vain Ketanians, tak sah kalau takder photo session.. so semua orang pon bergambar dgn pelbagai aksi (especially the sengal Jules and Que) kat play pen, kat party room, all over Mc D lah diorang nih, including me. hahah..
Dah nak balik sumer yee said aper lagi.. after party laa pulak.. huehue.. poyo jer… ingat nak pegi maner2.. alih2 nina and julie kena balik putrajaya dah.. and shiqin dah balik umah.. so last2 tinggal me, yee and omar lepakking at Que’s living room.. talking about everything and nothing.. lamer tak lepak ramai2.. i bet the next time we lepak camni mesti time bulan puaser or raye. Yee said she’s free so i ajak her to teman me go buy laptop at the pc fair. but then she said Ayah Chik wants to bring her to a jewellery exhibition at some hotel. Esoh suddenly texted me and said she’ll go with me.
Sunday. August 13, 2006 (Buying laptop at PC Fair)
Que sent me home in his new Satria NEO and i took my car and rushed to Hillpark to pick up Esoh. Esoh told me to park at Mandarin Oriental (apparently where the jewellery exhibition was going on) and we went to KL Convention Centre.. Oh my God.. orang ramai giler babas i had to shield myself from grazing with the guys’ bods. eeww.. korang tau laa tempat2 crowded camtu mesti ader yg tak bermoral mengambil kesempatan..
Sebab begitu ramainyer manusia.. my hope to go and see what other choices i had (i already had the new compaq V3000 in mind) evaporated. Tak kuaser nak bertolak2 and berebut nak pegang and tgk specs laptops.. dahlaa kat hp booth orang ramai giler.. i only managed to bargain a webcam and an optical mouse as free gifts. We paid the deposit for the RM3799 compaq V3000 (it’s out of stock so i’ll have to pick up my new laptop at midvalley next week) and went to Sandisk booth. I bought a 1GB thumbdrive (to replace the one that crashed with all my precious info in it) and we went down (had to make a BIG u-turn, siotlaa layout PC Fair nih, stail pakser semua orang lalu kat every booth pulak) to the ground floor and pushed our way to a booth that sold Kingston stuff. I bought a 1GB SD Card for my beloved PDA (takut crash lagi takder backup, dah bertahun pakai PDA without SD Card) and we went to Suria KLCC…
Adoi.. kalau memang stakat nak tgk2 i’ll NEVER go to PC Fair.. I’m thankful that Esoh wanted to accompany me, i know how much she hates crowded places. We had late lunch (it was almost 5pm) at Dome and terserempak my senior in UiTM Mache there. But i suspect he came over to our table just to have a closer look at Esoh (then beria balik office amik namecards to give us). We called Maylin asking her to bring her new bf (or adakah masih berstatus "bakal"?) to meet us. But she was late, i hadn’t pray Asar and had to go back to Shah Alam early coz Mom was leaving that night, so we left without waiting for Maylin (she was still in Ampang when we left KLCC).
I thought the ordeal for the day was over. But we were traumatized to know that our parking fee was RM18!!!!! Adoi.. gilerlaa Mandarin Oriental… (then only i remembered normally if i park in hotels it’s because i was staying there or had some functions going on, so i always had my ticket stamped) We just paid and left. I wonder how much is the Valet parking there. We should have parked with the Valet jer.. alang2 mahal.. hahahaha…
