It's depressing seeing how the world is on red alert with environmental disasters. Aceh hit with floods after being hit by the tsunami. Dah jatuh ditimpa tangga. Translated: Fallen already but fell down the stairs. Sigh..
Went to pay a visit to my uncle who lives in JB, Skudai last Sat. His whole village of 500 families were affected by the flood. He was coming back from a wedding on Sun and came back. The flood level was at his roof already. Everything gone; furniture, electrical appliances, his 2 old cars, his goods in his car (he's a pasar malam seller), my cousin's books, everything. He managed to find his passport days later. Its sad to see how his place had turned out. It was full of mud and the river nearby his place was still 3/4 high. Apparently this happened in 2001 but not as bad.
Had kenduri on Sun at my aunt's place. Monday went to Bugis street to shop with my sister. Didn't buy anything. My ketupat bag that i am looking for doesnt come in the pearl-ish colour anymore and its almost 60 bucks. Madness. Anyway cannot spend on that bag anymore. Just got Be delicious. Nice!
Hung out with Lydi and her fiancee yesterday in town after she finished work. They make a great couple. So comfy with each other and he's nice after warming up a little. Wishing them all the best.
Went to NIE with Haliah just now. The place was a ghost town. Went to borrow some books to prepare for my Math LP. Sigh..Holidays also must do work. Unbelievable. We went for Thosai at Lil India with Rai. I must admit eating in that old eatery with them makes me feel like I'm in Calcutta. Haha..old memories..Headed to Mustafa and shopped. Smell and smell the perfumes until confused and dunno which was which. Heh..Had to head back earlier after that cuz we were having a mini celebration for my youngest sis..her bd was during kenduri day.
Gonna destress myself a bit before heading to sleep..Oh yar a recommended read: Notes from an even smaller island by Neil Humphreys is great! Reading it now. So far, so funny and honest.
