Grand Finale : How 2 Conker M'sia In 17 Daze
Its half past 12 midnight!!! I cant belive i'm heading back tomorrow. I feel like part of the furniture here... i'll miss home sooo much!! but oh well the joy of fitting in a second home is always felt the second time we go back. Like when i was in Inti, i still remember all the stupid packing of essantials and clothes and whatnot to gett all of the important stuff there. Then then second time i went home i brought back more stuff. and this time it felt better
- cos i was already comfortable there
- cos i brought more stuff from home, to add my touch to the place!!
The last time i left off, it was on the 7th, Sat and i was going down to Singapore to see Janene! hmm..it was fun! I went to this place called Yoshoku and Island Creamery?? (Any Singaporeans help me out with this!) Island creamery was delicious! they had cakes and dessert and stuff..but enough about singaporean food. Was really sad when the day had to end. So we gave Janene her usual stuff (food, Time magazines) and some not so usual stuff (digi cam, handphone [courtesy of me!]) And i even got a coffee maker to take back to Canberra! wohoo! now i can make hot drinks at night...
the next day dad took me and Joel out for some old-town style lunch!! I soooo missed the place!! where else can you find wantan mee with toast kaya/butter bread with old white coffee?? i almost decided to become kitchen helper to Ah Tan and quit being a student...i get better food! SYIOK! BEST! Next time any one of you come to Segamat, look me up!! i'll definitely bring you here..but you're paying, of course.
9th Sun. por por came down to segamat!!! yahoo!! as dad says, my, ahem, financial minister paid me a visit. not to mention chef!! She brought my favourite Chong (rice dumpling with magical flavours inside). She even brought a whole DUCK from Petaling Street! Leave it to grandmothers to find a way to transport dead animals in a train without stinking the place up...Needless to say my stomach expanded like crazy over the next few days... i also dono if its torture or pleasure or both...siao.. OMgoodness there was also roast spice chicken, bamboo shoots cooked with pork, Chinese veggie, special soup ( i dono wats in it), steam fish...etc.etc...
I just KNOW i'm gonna cry in canberra everytime i think about it... I MISS THE FOOD!!!
Ahem..por por is also my financial minister...call her a walking atm, or a living wallet, or a money tree, its all the same. I just absolutely love/adore/sayang my Psycho watch!!!!! (spelled Seiko)
I bet joel likes his too.. Thanks a hundred thousand times por por! i swear, when i get a job i'll get you one of those Osim massage chairs that can massage like professional masseuse on steroids....
And then the highlights of going back are the stuff i'm bringing back! i got a bean bag, among other stuff, to make my kecil room that bit more comfy..
Oh yea need to charge those Jason who asked me to buy a mouse...its taking up precious weight quota!! if i kena fine, i'm gonna charge him....:P
And today its finally the 11th Wed. I'll miss this place sooooo much!! and russell too! and everything. and the Wii. and the food. and the bed... and the....too much to mention.
So ends SEVENTEEN DAYS in Malaysia. Did i conquer it? i'd like to think i did.. but that nagging feeling of not going to penang and JB says i didnt. But i did get to meet tons of friends, family, food..
So i guess the most important things are family, friends, food and stuff, not necessarily in that order. Next time i come back, its gonna be a a huge diff. Friends will be gone, family will change, food shops might move away.
So i guess its goodbye this time, M'sia. Thanks for all the lovely memories.I'll be back for more!
