I was so excited to get back to KL after 4 months, so excited that i almost miss my flight back because the secretary changed my usual flight schedule..
Anyway, first thing first i had McD when i arrived that evening. You don't have McD in Hanoi. :( I made a list of what i am going to eat on my one week trip back, that included Nasi Lemak, Roti Canai banjir, Banana Leaf Rice, Nasi campur, Yong Tau Foo, Chap Farn, Nando's and Teh Tarik!!! Not to say they dont have it here in Hanoi but i want the original taste.. you know what i mean!
The next morning i went to Kajang to Suraya's house to get back my cute cute MyVi back. Oh how i miss it! Then straight to see Lily my hairdresser to get my har trimmed and highlighted!
That night was Kara-oke night with my friends Sumalee, Kaancana, Suraya and a long-lost kawan Jennifer. I met her when she and the same geng visited me when i was working in Bangkok, pretty Chinese girl, very 'lurus' but nice girl..hehehehe...Memang tak sah la kalau kara-oke tak minimum 5 jam kan..went back at 4am.
The next day i woke up abit late and went out for late lunch at Raju Banana Leaf Rice (list checked!!) with my ex. We are still friends and yes i have gotton over him so dont worry... He told me what he's been up to lately and so did i. We talked more than we ever did when were together, i like that. :)
Well that night was pre Gawai at one of my bestest friend's house Lilut. Together with my travelling companion Suraya, with Kak Za and Min (Kak Za's friend) we 'konvoi' to Lilut's house, following a 'map' that Lilut drew. She said to follow the "Smiley Face" and so we did... :p Her new rented place was much much better than the previous ones...don't play play ada flat screen TV ok!!! There we met Zaliha and her latest conquest (i think he is from Kelantan, younger of course!). we had some pizza's, fried finger food and not to forget tuak - one from Sarawak, one from airport and one from Hanoi. Fulamakkkk....Hanoi tuak kuat jugak k!!!! we chit chat, most of the time buat lawak bodoh, oh and we also had sesi luah perasaan...ooooh, itu wajib!
Sad for Lilut because her daughter Darlene is not around now but i think it's better for both her and Darlene, but soon they will unite after she brings her family down to KL. I think that is still the plan....betui ka Lut?
I wished Dolly was there too, another one of my bestest friend...she flew back to Sarawak to celebrate Gawai. It's been a long time since i saw her.
And that concludes my first weekend in KL, fruitful but still tak puas! hahahahaha...
On Monday it was back to business. My another close friend Nurul (she insisted of calling ourselves BFF - best friends forever...heheheheh), anyway she picked me up and we went for brunch at Bangsar - Nasi Lemak (list checked!) and kopi-o. Then i headed straight to Prudential to make my claim. Now i have to tell you what happened to me that i need to do a claim :(
It started on a warm summer evening..cehwah... i was sneezing very badly that day because of the dust and smog in Hanoi, then suddently i felt a very sharp pain on my back, i couldn't stand straight. I had to lie down and since then i could not even sneeze or walk or even stand straight. So i finally call International SOS to my apartment in Hanoi, they came in 10 minutes and gave me medicine to ease the pain. The doctor said there was nothing he could do - i dont need any surgery as mine was an old injury that now is coming back to haunt me. he warned me that one of the medicine will make me drowsy, so i asked the doc and nurse (the nurse could speak Malay as she told me she worked in Alor Setar before...what a small world eh!!!!) to place all my food and drinks, handphone and TV remote near me (i was lying on the sofabed) before they left. After a while i had to go to the little girl's room so i stood up and made my way there.Suddently....i felt darkness...next thing i knew i was on the floor, half my body is in the toilet and another half was in the bedroom. I knew i had fainted. I tried to get up but the backpain was too acute and i told myself, what the heck so i slept on the cold hard floor. While i was lying there alone, thinking...i felt really really alone, never in my life i felt that alone. I cried myself to sleep that night. I woke up many times but i just couldnt move myself back to the sofa where my handphone is, the pain was the worst i have felt, i thought i would die, seriously! I calmed myself to sleep again and when i finally woke up (i think it was around 4am) and the medicine was slowly taking its effect, so i eased myself back to the sofa, ptactically crawling with my hands and inching myself slowly (very slowly) to the sofa. Once i reached i was so happy and thankful that someone will not find me weeks later sprawled in the toilet..dead! :p I was contemplating whether to call SOS again and be addmitted to the hospital. After thinking of how expensive it was going to cost me (and at that time i didnt know whether my SOS card could pay for it and also my company has travel insurance) i decided to just lie down on the sofa and see how things go later that morning.
I tell you, that was the scariest feeling i ever had in my life, and i do not want, i repeat i do not want to die alone in future!
Ok now, back to my claim.... well it ended up i could not claim from Prudential for outpatient cost as the SOS card covers surgical and hospitalization only. So later i am going to claim from my company for the cost of medicine and house visit.
Tuesday was not much activity..i stayed at home and then i went out with Nurul again. Since she is not working so we just lepak chap-o-ko. Talked about stupid things (like we normally do).
Wednesday was heaven and hell for me... Heaven because we get to shop, Hell becasue money was going out like tap water! Anyway, Suraya took emergency leave (bapa sakit konon!!) so that she could go shopping with me. She was too into her work lately that she needed a break, and i needed more working clothes. So started at 11am (oh we had nasi campur for lunch and early dinner Nando's...yeay two in the lists checked!!) and finished at 8pm..can you believe it! Kalau bukan my cousin Suree called to say she is already at the bus station to come pick her up we would ahve continued until god knows when!
We picked Suree up and head straight to Yong Tau Foo (list checked!! it's getting closer..). Suree ha slimed down alot! Gone were the chubby fats and boyish looks. She looks so "perempuan" and so manja..gerenti banyak jantan dah terlekat punya. hehehehehhe
Thursday i went out with Suree, took her around town. She will be moving into my place in July and using my car. Got a job at Sungai Buloh. We drove to her future work place and found out it was soo near! Dropby her aunty's house and chit chat for a while. Went to buy her return bus ticket at Duta. That's about it for Thursday.
Now Friday........Friday is the most of the days i've been looking forward to. All the 'tak kerja punya char bors"- Nurul, Suraya, Suree and Angela drove to Cherating. Ko bayangkan empat pompuan havoc on the road until this one white car with guys was following us all the way until the toll their car broke down...aduh kesiannya but what we can do??!!! sempat lagi that guy came down from the car to check his car but before that siap angkat tangan to ask us to call him. bodoh ka apa mana aku nak dapat nombor??!! :)
Anyway, we reached Impiana Resort at around 3pm, the place was fantastic! Nurul handled the reservation as her friend is the GM there - we got the room for free (which normally cost RM500), jangan jeles!! We were ushered to our room by the on-duty assistant manager, who later turned out to be my enemy(wait wait, later i cerita. sabar noh!). We went straight down to the beach, makan angin and pasir. The bedroom was calling to us at about 5pm so all of us went back. Suraya and Suree was head down, me and Nurul couldn't sleep yet so we sembang for a while. Soon Nurul went out to meet with her friend to thank him and i tried to sleep. But because my body was itchy from the sandfly bite so i decided to bath and head down to the bar. It was still early,i was the only one at the bar, the 3 piece Phillipino band was just preparing their stuff. I ordered beer and enjoyed the music that was playing for me, only me :).
At around 7pm, after 3 beers nurul called me for dinner with her friend but i told her i dah kenyang beer. I politely declined and continue enjoying the band playing to me, the only audience. I think Nuruk kesian kat i kot sorang2 so she joined me later. But you know me, i can be alone, as long as i have beer and music.
Looking at my watch it was almost 8pm and those two are still sleeping( mak aiii!!!! anak dara mana yang kuat tido nih!) i texted them and said i was at the bar and asked them to get ready to party!
then suddently i saw this man walked pass me and not sure because of the electric shock or because of the beer i smiled at him. He looked stunned a moment there, small smile back at me and walked pass me to another side of the bar. Well, no harm in trying... later found out that he was one of the friend of the hotel GM and also the resort manager..cool!
at 10pm we headed to Little Bali, where the night is always young..hahahaha. It was quite full and we managed to get a table near the toilet :( ordered beer (again) and waited for the other geng to arrive. The other geng turned out to be Otai...aku tak kisah, asalkan enjoy. Betui dok Lut?! hehehhehe. The GM(Nurul's friend) , M (the guy who walked pass me at the bar), S (the girl who's going to be my enemy) and two more of their friends were at our table. Kira happenin la meja kita malam tu. Most of the people there were so interested in our table that they kept on coming over to us..it was fun actually. I was not drunk but i was high, high enough not to care how i talked and how i behaved. I also danced! my god! my closest friends will know that Angela does not dance when she is sober... unless it is either I Will Survive or Sweet Child of Mine.
Anyway, I was trying to look for ways to mengurat M but S kept on being so close to him. That pissed me off because she dok asyik merajuk and she was not really talking to us. Depa dua bertenet ka??!!! So i started scheming. I told Suraya to mengurat S and i will try M. I tried many times when M came and sat next to me..but at the same time punya celaka $%$#%^ there's this boy who sat right next to me on the other side and kept on talking to me and asking me to dance. I was not annoyed actually because i was having so much fun so i layan jer la. Cute also that boy. When i turned to continue with M, tengok-tengok S dok tuang air beer dia ke dalam botol beer M..??????? What the f*@k! Kemon arrr...kalau tak habis beer tu bagi jer la the whole botol, apa hal dok tuang-tuang beer nih???!!! Aku tak paham betui pompuan nih.
And..and...tetiba jer dia merajuk and M had to drag her to the dance floor and dok peluk la depa dua. Alamak...there goes my chance! So what i did...i luahkan perasaan to Suraya and Suree. All the what the 'tut' came out from me that night... :p
Suddently the song Tiada Lagi - Amy Search came out. All of us were singing our hearts out, especially me. That boy was so shocked to see me sing the lyrics like it was right in front of me. He thought i was pure Chinese...sorry la beb, lagu kesukaan gua! Apa lagi, nyanyi like nobody's business, sampai the geng pun terkezut! The looks on their faces...hahahahahah
After that song, i decided to take the last effort to get close to M. So i motioned Suraya with my eyes (pandai-pandai la dia noh..) and i walked around to M (he was sitting beside S) and i hugged them from behind, nak amik kesempatan la konon..but little did i know S lagi pandai, she turned my body to her so that i will be hugging her instead of M! #$%^&&^%$# *sigh *sigh
Malam ni aku tak dapat laa...but you know what, i had the best time with these folks, i really really enjoyed myself very much..kan aku dah cakap as long as ada beer and music..jalan!!!!!
The next day we woke up and had late breakfast. Tea-time was sweet for me as i get to sit beside M, without S around. muahahahhahahaaha... sembang buat lawak semua lah keluar.
From the conversation later I found out that he has a son. Not sure whether he is still married or not, but what the heck. I am not going to marry him, just friends maa… so before we left for KL, after all the salam saying cinta cium muah muah (and S was there to say goodbye…##%$##$%^%), dengan hati yang duka lara we drove back. On the way Lilut called for clubbing but was too tired after trying so hard cobaan to peluk M..hehehehhe.
Sunday Sunday Sunday! Time past.. so fast! I had lunch with my brother, sis in law, my two nephews and their two friends. Hensem jugak-sorang Melayu, sorang lagi mat salleh campur India tapi melath kalah Melayu!!!!!
I think arr, i think it might be true that I will have either much older or much younger boyfriends laa… hmmm….musyikil sket nih. But anyway, I sent Suree to the bus station at 3. Tu hah, dah lama tunggu kat bus station is another boyfriend of hers. Aduh!!!! Aku sorang pun tak dak. Everytime when I think of Suree I remember the time we try to get her into Hard Rock Café. Inga tar Lut??!!! She was only a month shy from 18 at that time but the guy would not budge! And now she’s 24 already, my god! How old am I again???
Saying goodbye to KL and all my friends were the worst part on Monday. I was heading to the airport that morning..i hated it..hated the fact that I will be alone again – eating alone, watching TV and DVD alone, doing everything alone.
Well that’s life I guess. You will have fun and then the fun stops.. then it starts back again. Well, I can’t wait to go back KL again. Not sure when but I hope it will be for a week again.
Wait for me my friends….i’m going home!
