good to be back...

honestly, ive never been this happy to be back...

imagine, me missing my vicious routine..bhahahaha..
i guess i needed a time away to appreciate what is right in front of me...( " ,)



including this (apakah?!!)

dah nama pun perlbagai hala kan

i use to love to travel.
i mean wht am i saying, i still do.
shortTrips in and around Malaysia,
across the sea across the continent,

baik official or just for holidays with the fam,

i love to pack, change money and the idea that i will be away from my life that has turned in a vicious routine (the type that one wants to kill/destry so badly..haha drama)

part of my work requires me to travel (if not just talking to foreigners and no im not a travel agent pls..hahaha)

last year i was kinda (ok very) melodramatic when leaving bb ash for the first time..


and please dont blame me if i have a second fit this time around.
yess bb ash if u could fit, i would bring u along daling (siggghhhhh)

first trip- chiangMai, Thailand. im heading to Thailand in times that the Ministy of Foreign Affairs just released a travel advisory note on the country, ish..
alhamdulilah and insyallah Chiang Mai wont be affected (and please pray the airport in Bangkok wont be ..mm closed or worst hijacked! errrk nauzubillah)

the last time i went to Chiang Mai was also of official, but of my fathers, i was following with my mum because it was term break.
as far as i remembered, chiang Mai is so much relaxed than bangkok (whch ive been many times these past few years of my service) and cooling...other than that i dont remember much..

then selang sehari, im off to penang for another multilateral meeting that Malaysia will b hosting. i went there last year to deliver a presentation but that only lasted less than 48 hours, yg ni 4days.

bole bayang tak,ILL be only seeing bb ash in a couple of hours then im back on my feet for another meeting, .ha ini baru betul nama pelbagai hala (multilateral)..hahahaha

aiyooo bole survive ke ni.

yes bb ash, keep trying ( " ,)

multiReading? hell ya

i love books. simple as that. love reading? mm well that is another matter.

leave me at MPH/Borders/Kunikotekowa (bhhahaa)/ or even popular bookstore, i will usually come out with at least a book (knowing that back home i have about 2 to three more on my nightTable.)

both my brothers loves books too
(or for them i should say, reading) as when they are heading to the toilet for a "number 2", even a pamphlet would do (bole..haha)

when life was only about me, reading became my escape. i would buy a "chickFlick" book, the type that can be finish within a day (or two) and just stuck my nose in it over the weekend, till i get sleepy.

if it was them malay novels, i get annoyed because the plot is about the same-the heroin sure some mixture of such (nak kate lawa la anak anak gadis melayu berdarah campuran ni.. aiyo), the hero from the slums or something, then of course there is a perfect competitor with a dark/jahat heart which of course in the end, this minah saleh campuran will go for the loser slum guy, no matter how poor/pathethic/one leg-ed even (bhahaha) the guy is...aisssshhhh
( i only have two malay novels, and both i finished within the same day, waaaahh)

then when i was carrying bb ash, the books i read was about things that happens around me ie "wht to expect when ure expecting" "baby development", all in those lines... but i have this habit to only read per the progression, in other words, when i was at my 30 weeks, and i missed reading week 29, iLL just continue reading 30 (hahahahaha)

(i actually got rafek a book on fathers expecting, and i can bet he doesn knowt where it is (let alone read it..piff)..

and tho alot would say, reading is impossible, with the baby around and all, surprisingLy, i find it that i am multiReading aka multilple reading at one time..and the best part i have no theme (and better darn be sure i dont read two chickFlick at a time, might end up mixing the plot)..hahaha



one good thing of getting up in the middle of the nite nowadays (be it bb ash needs his milk or not) is i dont have to be up staring at the wall, wondering about the problems of the world (i knw sad, hahahaa), i can now just inniminieMynimo and im already drfiting away on some other's life (its either im reading a book, or the book has fell on the fall, and me to sleep..hehehe)

as i am typing this, i have Amir Muhammad rendition on yasminAhamad's films and jst finished a chickFlick book about a bestFriend sleeping with a her bestFriend's fiance, siap ada anak, then the best frend yg ada anak ni nak mati pulak and nak pass to the best friend that she slept with the fiance, which they have broken up few years earlier (ada faham ka? hahaha)

anyways, i guess i picked up the habit from my parents (same as constantly applying handCream, i see my mama do that all the time ) and am looking forward to pass this to bb ash
( the reading habit i mean!)



(bb ash, attempting to understand wht sepet was all about, and i promised him he can watch the movie once he is old enough...this is the nicest shot i have of him with the book, others, he is pretty much attempting to tear it apart..aiyo dalingKu..hehehe)
