so tell me everyone…

what happened during the past 2 months i was away??

i’ve finally put away all my stuffs. so i guess there will be no more nagging from the mom about unpacking. but i’m sure there will be more. who knows what i might be doing wrong next.

i had a lil squabble with mom yesterday morning. and amazingly, dad just sat down, read his Straits Times, shake his head, laugh and then said “Bila tak jumpa I LOVE YOU sana sini. skejap skejap I LOVE YOU. bila dah jumpe masing masing bising aje…”

i opened my mouth and protest. so did my mom. then my dad interrupts “baru cakap…”

then we started to laugh. hmmmm… dont know why… dad, the peacemaker.

hey, i think gotta i go… mom making me cook sambal tumis. ohhhh!! sambal tumis sotong kering!! can cook nasi lemak!! yummehh…

but i only like to tumis tumis. tak nak kupas kulit bawang, tak nak hiris, semua taknak. nak tumis jer… bleh tak mak???

i can imagine my mom going…

*nag.. nag.. nag… nag… anak dara pemalas… nag nag nag… bila nak pandai masak??… nag nag nag… macam mana nak kawin? nanti hari2 makan mcdonalds… nag nag nag*

heh… my life as an anak dara…

LOL.

braille…

 

shash return

after two months of living in adorable-man land, and 24 hours of horrendously long journey, i’m finally back to where home is.

everything is just as what i expected. the home, the city, the family, the friends and hmmmm(???? i cant seem to remember what its suppose to be)

the weather – lin been warning me about suddenly hits like heatbomb. and i wasn’t ready for it at all. the humidity really burns me out. totally!! i was sweating like nobody’s business and i just step out of the shower(and no, its not because i didnt showered properly. got such thing meh??!)

and i always feel sleepy. is that jetlagged?

and many of my friends said i grew shorter. where got people grow shorter at a very young age of 21?? tssskkk!!

and if i did, most probably i can blame it on carrying the heavy bagpack which consist of the very heavy laptop(think 1st generation with the internal LAN thing) stationeries, printer ink catridges (couldnt leave them in the office for fear of thefts), some junk food, water, files, papers, vaseline and god knows what else is inside.

i was warned of having backache but nobody warn me about shrinking heights. so whose to blame?

anyways, today i bumped into Shrek at my void deck. he is not as hedious as he was on tv. nor cute as i thought. cuter, maybe. ohh those adorable ears!! LOL. but he was wearing a bright jersey shirt which i thought was weird because the far away land havent heard of football. have they?
anyways, he was kind enough to talk to me and allow me to take pictures of him. i’ll upload them once i reinstall the software into the laptop, when i found the disk.

cant wait to see him again soon!!

hey, I MISS YOU ALL!! cant wait to meet up. i mean cant wait to meet Lin. i’ve met everyone else except you, darling. and i cant wait for a reunion! reunion!! where should we go???

Love, Hugs and many Kisses,

Your one and only Aisha Istimewa.

p/s: shall i sing a very special song when we meet??

my very good friend, Debora was terribly upset.

why? because she couldnt go to her brother’s wedding?

and why?
because she says, ‘No MONEY!!’

i was like WTH!!!

no money cannot go to your own brother’s wedding meh??

then she explained….

need to buy dress, shoes, put on make up and go to the hairdresser to do the hair, buy a gift…

‘dont you have any dress?? your wedding dress!! you can wear them!’ (her wedding dress is very simple yet elegant. its more like an evening gown actually)

then she shows gestures that she cant fit into them anymore.

ouuhhh!! i remember!! i just bought a dress!! she can borrow mine!! punyalah excited then i remembered mine was a beach dress.. bummer…

i wanted to help this lady. i really do. but what can i do?? the last time i asked, they dont sell any evening dresses suitable for the wedding here. i dont mind giving her my accessories or my shoes(but her shoe size damn small. size 4 leh!! tskkk..)

but anyways, her bro’s wedding this evening and she is at work – to earn more money.

fishy affair

nothing makes you a more abled person than being forced to live overseas – alone.

and nothing makes you learn faster than being independent, having no other options and/or alternatives to do something that you hate or gross you.

for the many years in my life that i helped mom in the kitchen, i had never scaled a fish. fish scales are gross. its slimy and gross. i hate touching fish with scales. especially live ones. geli tak tahan!!! its ironic i know, for i’ve been to many fishing trips with dad and you have to touch the fish when you caught them. still geli larh… i always ask the bro to help me with my fish. (neways, understood what i’m trying to say? cause i dont when i reread them)

many times when mom told me to scale a few, i’ll make some excuses or just said ‘tak nak geli larh..‘ it works all the time. of course, i’ll have to bear with mom’s nagging. but thats better than having to touch the fishes’ scales.

or most of the time, daddy did the scaling. not that my mom dont know how. its just that. he did them. especially if its fishes that he caught or if its a big big enormous fish.

but today, i had no choice.

we’re suppose to have bbq at the beach as a farewell party for Roy and perhaps also to us who are going back to singapore next week and the week after. and of the food to be served are fish.

since our ‘Mother’ dear gonna cook, i’m tasked to clean all those that needs cleaning, ie: prawns, sotong and fish. FISH…. i thought the tio fishmonger already scaled the fish. but noooo… its still there!

“macam mana nak siang ikan?!” i asked someone.
“pakai penyiang ikan lah,” answered that someone. pandainya!!

i just cannot bring myself to touch those fish. so i put them in the fridge and continued chatting.

but then, suddenly i remembered. i have a responsibility. that is to scale the fish. so no choice larh i scaled the fish. took out the gills and the bloody stomach.

and then… it turned out to be quite fun… huahahahha… not the scaling part. but the taking out the guts and gills. blood spattered everywhere. its yucky but kinda fun larh. i cant describe. but yeah… hmmmmm…

now that i can siang ikan already, the husband(to be) and i no need to eat at KFC or MacDonalds everyday. heh.
