3 weeks and 3 days later....part two...the first advice

3 weeks 3 days later....busy pikir menu raya...ape yang ok ek? kena factor in yang bilik ari ada satu dapur je...n only one small periuk and one small fry pan..guess i'll have to bring the pots and pans and bla bla bla la kot...n then kena pikir pasal time...if raya on sunday..and kitorg bertolak from fukui on saturday..leaves with how much time to cook....pikir2 plan2..

my first raya as a wife...I'm TRYING to do it right... even made kuih raya tau (no kuih tunjuk2...hahaha)..but they didn't turn out that well.... tp dah A mintak Almond London kan... he's a chocolate lover...i'm NOT... i don't even like almond london..it's the one biscuit raya kat umah that i NEVER touch... so A better eats his fill of them...comot looking and all

anyway back to part two...the first advice

so it was the day after we arrived in Malaysia... A was staying in Shah Alam at R's house for a couple of days.. nak last minute shopping..the final barang hantaran...my shoes..
kitorg dah round the nearest outlets Nagashima 'twice' , Toki and so on ...still tak jumpa yang berkenan di hati..

last2 cari kat sogo je la... my parents drove me there..mula2 nak suruh naik komuter je..tp sbb nana pun nak beli kasut..so babah pun ckp everyone goes... so seme org pun ikut la..

so pusing2 sogo..disappointed...tak banyak choice..naik second floor..lg tak lawa..was contemplating on KLCC　or midvalley...last2 turun balik first floor...skali nana dah beli my first choice....cheh...melepas lah plak...n then ended up try kasut in front of the whole family..

n then babah goes and whispers to A... cakap je lawa..nanti sampai petang kat sini..
n there it goes 'the first advice' from father to son... kalau ikut shopping...just tell them what they want to hear....hahahaha

by the way.. i wore those shoes masa balik to japan...and habis melecet..tu lah sapa suruh tak break them in dulu kan.. my bad

dreams...

i had a weird one this morning....

it started out with me in a dilapidated 'typical sekolah menengah in Malaysia' building....and it was run over by teen yakuzas....somehow i recognized the school as my highschool (b4 i masuk mrsm...aminuddin baki)...i was running trying to break free from their cluthces..and suddenly i was accompanied by another boy also running away...bila sampai courtyard sekolah tu i read the nameplate and it read ' sekolah seri puteri'...what the? bila sampai sini lak ni...kebetulan sekolah tu ada marathon....ape lagi join la...anything to get away from those nasty boys chasing me...lari lari lari..tup tup my adik was running alongside me....tapi dia disqualifed...sbb tak ikut the right arah panah....they had these weird coloured anak panahs all over the place marking routes...and you're running so fast ...susah nak pick up the different colors...and then guess what...i made it to the finish line and it was euphoric experience...tak menang pun tak pe...but i made it...and the boy who broke free from the school with me was there at the finish line...catching me in his bear hug ....and then i was at family kenduri or something...and allthough the surroundings were oh - so - malaysia....my head recognized it as a gathering in gifu...where somebody was handing a baby to someone else...and that somebody happened to be my ex-roomate who now stays in gifu and who hasn't spoken or returned my mail for a long time...and there was shock in her face...like i wasn't supposed to be there...oh ya when i entered the room i was with one of my best friends H who is currently in msia....they exchanged a confused glance that showed that they had been communicating...all my batchmates have...i was the only one left out of the loop...apparently...she doesn't want to see me anymore...doesn't want to have anything to do with me ...and so on...i excepted that rather well...pulled her into a tight hug and said ' hug me cause this will be the last time' and suddenly we were both crying..i hugged her again and left...knowing that would be the last time...and then i started running again.....sampai pantai...which i recognized as pantai batu buruk kat tganu...where he was waiting to catch me as i jumped of a decaying tree trunk straight into his arms....

what a dream huh....sometimes i think dreams are triggered by what we see or experience b4 we sleep...how true that is i wouldn't know..for example... A was talking to me about the upcoming Gifu taikai...and i was thinking about the chances i would see my ex-roomate..the weird arrows masa tgh marathon tu... i think those are the arrows that i passed by while driving on the highway semlm...H..i was thinking about her when i passed toyota on the way back to fukui..running..that was just me enjoying the speed ...i think...cause i LOATHE running..

all in all....this dream is still stuck in my head...and i can't get it out....the running ....the jumping and soaring through the air....it was just too great to forget i guess

2 weeks and 6 days later....part one ..the journey home

even to this day it feels surreal...i'm married...i'm a wife...



been busy these last few weeks sampai tak dan dan nak post an entry...what with catching up at lab..and running to and fro from toyohashi...

so here's a re-cap of the events b4 the big day...
A and I left Japan on the 9th...plan asalnya nak naik densha kul 4 pg to Kansai...but after some deliberations and recalculations...we decided it would be cheaper and less hassling to just drive there (note that it's only cheaper if it were more than 1 person and you drive there on weekends coz highway 1000yen je) kalau tak..better take the train guys...anyway left Fukui at 2 am and we arrived there around 8...wasn't supposed to take that long..tapi jam terukkkkk sgt (for Japan standards) and I stopped to nap..anyway got there and handed over wheelie chan to the pak cik parking who'll be taking care of her for the next 13 days...he drove us over to the terminal and the usual pre-flight hussle commenced...dah check-in br leh relax...yeay..

fly fly fly

and finally we reached Malaysia...klakar tak yang only Malaysians were spooked about the H1N1 thing...the japs tak bother pun nak put on masks or whatever...but taking precaution is important don't you think... guess what my family was betting on wheteher i'd be wearing a mask or not....hahaha

anyway...A had his liquid stuff in my large luggage bag so we headed off to the side so we could retrieve it...and masa tu lah the tiny kunci nak hilang......whaaaaaattttt...cuak gile kat situ...cr cr cr punyalah cr... 15 minutes and 1 torn bag later barulah jumpa...woishhhhh...fiuhhh

it was the first time A met my parents....he was waiting for R to pick him up..so my dad decided that he'd park and we'd have a light meal together...just to pass the time...everything was going well i guess...it being his first encounter and everything...bet his heart was just thumping away huh....dia nye turn la plak...the first time i met his mom i counldn't sleep soundly for to nights prior to the meeting....hahaha

anyway part 1 is over...and i need to get back to my lab work...
