val: happy belated good friday and a happy easter to you!
linn: I'm back in uk for 2 months. then home again for 3! yay! i'll get you something lah, k?
shawn: yes. yes. and I brought them here too. hahaha.
yong: aiyo. yeah. but again, only 2 months!
beb: will text you immediately after this.
mel: thanks. what's the add?
weiyi: thanks, girl. you're a gem.
sabai: yeahh. it'll be quick this time. 2 months!

notice how I kept mentioning 2 months. can I help it? I miss everything from my cosy toilet to my cosy friends. *ahem* I guess the only thing that's keeping me from taking the first plane back to jb is that I'm here to just study and get through these 2 months. then I can relax at home till sept. ahh. life will be so good.

yeah, but reality kicked in the second I sat down at senai airport, waiting for the plane. fact is, I came home from church at 2 something am & didn't bother sleeping since I had to leave for the airport at 4 plus. siang was trying to keep me awake by being the world's greatest nutter. what a pest! after a while, I just sought refuge by lying in bed with my eyes closed, blocking out all the noise that was emitting from him & his actions. and you thought kids were tough to handle.

oh yes, at the airport, I fell asleep! and thank goodness, I heard the announcement come on and immediately boarded the plane. after I sat down in my seat, that was it. I didn't even get my nice iced milo cos' yours truly was in lala land. I had no recollection of the plane taking off or landing. maybe I was teleported. hurhur.

adding on to the lack of sleep was a terrible tummy ache. yes, I do mistreat my tummy at times, but did it have to attack me when I was most vulnerable, sitting in a crowded jumbo jet with very limited space? my flight to london was a bearable one though. I slept through most of the journey and never even touched the head-sets, which I regretted a little after, since they were showing memoirs of a geisha. oh well. sleep was top on the list, whether or not I allowed it to be. wan said that he never saw me awake on the plane, as he passed by my seat to the toilet. he even boldly went on to state I was in 3 different sleeping positions. once my head was hanging outside of the chair. I think he was exaggerating. someone would've kicked my head away and jolted me awake if that were the case. the scottish couple made my flight a bit more bearable though. they were honestly, very nice, treated me like their own daughter. and if that were the case, I'd have big shoes to fill. their daugher represented scotland in mountain biking for the recent commonwealth games. wow! even someone like me, who bearly had enough sleep to respond as quick as I normally would, was amazed.

taking a bus from heathrow to croydon and then another bus to where I live was tiresome, but again, I dunno where I found the strength to roll my suitcase up brambledown hill and all the way to my place. phew. and I still wonder why I gained weight here. the suitcase, by the way, wasn't overweight. haha. 21.3 kilos. shawn, siang & I weighed it before the m'sian airlines people opened the counters. they're nonsensical. I reached at 5.15, only to discover they were opening the counters in '5 minutes', according to the dude working there. yeah, 5 minutes m'sian time! by the time, I lined up to check-in, (which was kinda unfair, cos' I was the first one there. the big adults just got priority since they could sue) it was almost 6. I felt bad making azlan, shawn & siang wait for me. so I went into the departure halls pretty early. seeing their gay smiles and their flambouyant waves, I was surprised I didn't cry.

before sitting here in the cold dining room, typing away, I was making myself some frozen dinner. sweet & sour chicken. all I had to do was microwave the little thing, but it tasted like rubbish. ergh. am gonna crawl into bed after a nice, warm shower, and wake up to the non-existent british sunshine tomorrow. 2 months, 2 months...
