journey to the east

well, i'm back in Melbourne.... wowwee... cepatnya 3 bulan berlalu... bangun, makan, makan lagi, tidur... tup tap dah kena balik sini semula... perasaan utama: MALAS... like freakin malas giler... 3 bulan dok umah tak buat apa2 kecuali menghabiskan beras je, skang kena balik kelas plak... hai.. rasa lama benor tak berjalan, tetiba nak kena start exercise kaki plak... tadi baru laa pegi beli barang umah, kaki dah rasa lenguh2 plak deh....aduss... ni banyak kilo nak kena shed ni.. yang 2010 punya tak hilangkan lagi, ni dah nak kena hilangkan yang 2011 punya plak....

the best thing bout balik kali ni is that:

EVERYONE's HOME!!!!
its so awesome sebab rasanya lama sgt2 kitorg 5 beradik semua sekali ada kat umah... ada je sorang dua yang missing... granted lah kan, musibah kat Mesir yang bawak kak lang balik... but,hey, she's safe, everything's cool again...

sambut kak lang kat KLIA pukul 1.30 pagi..
terer x abah drive to n back again.. tgk muka kak lang, happy je dapat balik free

kak lang pun dah balik, along x start2 keje lagi, kak chik cabut asrama, adik cuma ada latihan sukan n me myself tak gheti2 balik melben, dapatlah kitorg kumpul2 ramai2...and since lama sangat dah tak kumpul2 ni, and tak tahu laa bila lagi boleh kumpul lagi, we all took a road trip...yay... rasanya adalah dekat satu semenanjung kitorg jelajah...

JOHOR-KUANTAN-TERENGGANU-KELANTAN-PERAK-JOHOR

banyak kan2... alaa.. tapi bukan kembara apa sangat.. lebih pada duduk kat dalam kereta, melalak karaoke lagu2 pop 90-an (sebab kitorg satu family so into retro), makan jajan, buah potong dalam kete, kejap2 benti R&R (mama nak terkencing) then cari tempat best nak tidur

kena hantar encot pegi hotel dia dulu baru boleh start jalan


gambar je kat depan taman tamadun Islam ganu ni, x masuk pon


makan2 candy floss dalam kete


singgah makan durian kat tepi jalan otw nak gi kuala kangsar

walaupun laa cume beberapa hari, x sampai pun seminggu kitorg dapat stay sama2, but it was worth it...dapat kumpul sama2.. dig up all the inside jokes yang kitorg je paham, makan everything together-gether, stay up at night gossiping and hati-to-bati sessions, gaduh-gaduh marah-marah... just enjoying each other.. i think just having u're family around, people who u love even though they annoy u sometimes... that's really worth cherishing u're whole life... and i just feel grateful for mine.

AWESOMEness

in the times of distress, we often forget the good thing in life. I'm saying this and also dedicating this post to kak lang who i'm sure is pulling her hair out, waiting there in Jeddah for her flight home.

i was reading readers digest when i found this article or rather an interview with the writer of 1000awesomethings.com who writes this famous super cool awesome blog on AWESOMEness.... how awesome is that?

what touched me was that, how sometimes when something bad or miserable happens to us, its like the biggest deal in the world.. but when something really good happens we kinda just don't realize that its actually happening.

so...here's my own short version of awesomeness, some i 'borrowed' from him and some are my personal experience and none of it is in any particular order :)
  1. finally peeing or "melepas hajat" after holding on for forever
  2. sleeping in class without anyone noticing
  3. having enough change in your purse - down to the last sen
  4. when your cat suddenly nak snuggle2 manja2 ngn u
  5. getting told u get a further discount when you're at the counter paying
  6. berjaya 'membuang angin' di khalayak ramai tanpa disedari sesiapa
  7. the thing that u wanna buy is the last item on the shelf - and its yours
  8. knowing the name of the song stuck in your head
  9. when youtube streams super fast
  10. someone likes your facebook status
  11. singing along to the radio in the car
  12. a handsome guy opens the door for u
  13. hearing a song that reminds u of someone
  14. watching a baby smile or laugh
  15. the counter at McD is clear when u enter - walaupun masa tu time offer pukul 12 sampai 3
  16. a stranger smiles and says hello to you
  17. buat reverse call, boleh cakap lama2 xpayah bayar
  18. when u just "get it", a joke or a lesson, whatever.. it just clicks
  19. having a light bulb blinking moment when u need one
  20. having the final say - in this case i'm saying that my life is AWESOME!


i guess what i'm trying to say is that, life, moments in life can be super ugly.. things can go not the way u want them to go, and everything feels like IT SUCKS!

but give it a few minutes, think back of these small insignificant AWESOME moments, make u're own awesome list and i hope thats enough of a reminder of how beautiful life is.
