flawed work of art.

HEY YAA!!! So happy I got to blog, so I can pour out everything that I kept in my brain for 2 days... my memory stick has refused to be upgraded to a higher MB. sad case. oh right.. about my trip...
it's been okay so far. took a taxi from my parent's place at 4.30 & hopped on a plane to KL at 6.30.. but the flight was a little delayed & a number of people were kindda worried, including my mother, as usual.
Before I forget, I wanna warn all those people who are gonna be going to Senai anytime soon... Stupid Johore Central Store is bloody unreasonable. especially this one young chap working there. after flipping through a few pages of a glossy cheapo mag that would make me feel bad for myself due to shiny, happy, beautiful people in it, he came floating by to inform me that I couldn't read here. I then went, 'Oooh..K!' But in my mind I was like,'What DO you do in a bookstore? Sit on the books???' I was totally pissed by then.. but it was funny to see him floating by my mother afterwards, too afraid to tell her the same thing coz' obviously, she can pay for everything in the store in 5 secs. I tell you, it's downright idiotic!! Reminds me of the super-'nice' people of Shell as well. (go search in archives) The only reason he could tell me that with ease, was because he assumed I couldn't affored the glossy mag. pth. He's right, I would have shove it up his arse, honestly.
Hmm, righto. After transferring to the international area in KLIA, we then had a swift dinner at Burger King. {kampung jb still don't have!} I was so elated when I saw the series of unfortunate events movie stuff, but Ach Mein Gott! one book is 60 ringgit! ish.. Oh yes, the movie opens tomorrow in Aussie! yayness!!
The flight was bad, my monitor hanged, but before that, got to watch Elf. Nice movie, I ALMOST laughed out loud. Sleep kindda succumbed me after that.. Reached ADL at hmm, 7, where my sis kindda, skipped her way to hug my mother. Aah, she still hasn't changed a bit. The weather was fairly cool, close to 15 degrees celcius. We went to her place first.. A shared house with Henry, her long-time bf. dunno if their still together though.. Y'know, my parents didn't say ANYTHING about her living with him. But, my mother made a big fuss that my bro's gf must sleep in a different room than my bro when she comes over in the weekends. And she said she showed NO favourtism. Wow. her place was so tidy, which was expected coz' my sis is very organised all the time, which means a pain in the neck for the messy me. we always argue coz' of that problem. She had some grad activities, so my dad drove her car up to Cleland Wildlife Park, which was up in the hills, to see the koalas, kangaroos, wallabies, tazzy devil etc. y'know, usual Aussie natives. Then, we had lunch at Griffith's, a cafe by Unley Street where my dad only stopped by coz' he had a place to park. We didn't do much after that, my sis drove us around town where we stopped by a beach, a couple of youngsters were actually in the water while I was shivering due to the strong cold winds.. 2 friendly young boys were illegally jetty jumping while posing for the cam for us.. cute. In fact, most of the folks here look like they were BORN for showbiz. cute guys with good bods are simply everywhere! sickening! my sis then brought us to dinner at some dodgy Italian restaurant that was packed to the brim. I shared a fillet with my cousin, who by the way, flew down from Melbourne to join us. :) Nice of her, no? Went back to the hotel & slept. It was nice to have the room all to myself so I needn't have to keep the room nice & tidy.. Watched old episodes of O.C till I fell asleep...
Woke up to the sound of my mother knocking on the door. It was around 7 in the morning.. by the way, Adelaide's 2 & a half hours faster than M'sia time. Macker's was far different from the ones in M'sia. McCafe seemed so chic & cozy. & McD's was like, so healthy there. Cool. My sis then drove us around Barossa Valley for wine-tasting. We went to Penfolds, Jacob's Creek, Wolf Blass etc. The scenery was really nice & the architecture was equally awe-inspiring. Had lunch at Jacob's Creek, where my mother finished my huge salad for me. =D We drove all the way back & tada! Here I am! In my sister's house, while the rest are all out at a nearby supermarket. They locked poor ickle me in the house. At least, I could spare some time to blog.. I'm sure I left some things out.. Ah, but I can't really remember. When I do, I'll blog again.. Till then, byee!!
P/S: dreamt I heard my mother yelling my name on our trip back to my sister's place. And you know what? Sk8er Boi was playing when I woke up. I think Avril's haunting me.

So give me what I want
I always get what I want
You don't want to see me when
I don't get what I want
Thats not what you want
I'm not about to take no for an answer
No
If I tell you I can't I'm still gonna go
I did it all by myself
I found my way around it
Avril
I Always Get What I Want
