sigh..
that was the fastest 5 days in my life.
and this sunburn is the mildest ever, considering i was baking under the sun at noon for 3 consecutive days.

all in all redang was fine..exactly how i would imagine it would be
all we did was sleep, eat, sleep, scrabble, snorkel, eat, sleep, kayaking, eateateat..pillowfight.
i really2 need the break and wat berjaya resort redang had to offer was perfectly wat it takes for a nice getaway.
the resort is deserted, the only way to get to other resorts or civilisation (wat civilisation) was by boat. the area is endowed with a nice secluded lagoon with the whitest ever sand i've ever seen.. u know the kind in the hourglass.. haa.. that fine, that white. the chalets are along a small fishpond, connected by platform, really serene and very kekampungan..
there were loads of banana leaves around, mama 'curi' some to pack our homemade nasi lemak.
yup, the lady still cook during holidays, cos papa cant swallow hotel food 2 meals in a row.. ehehe.. equipped with a small rice cooker, a pan and a smal portable stove, like one of those 'penunu Bunsen' (Godd!!) except for it's flat. i think that was illegal, to cook in hotel rooms, and it simply made the meal taste much better.

we went snorkelling half a day. slept half a day of the 3 days. eat 4 meals a day,and i mean MEALS.
mama n papa were really on honeymoon mood, that most of the time i've to attend to zetty building some sandcastle, only to be destroyed by cho and abe. but the 2 lovebirds were almost oblivious to us, their kids. let them be lah. it's their 24th anniversary anyway. at least we should be glad they drag us along to their 167th honeymoon holiday.. eheh.. ok, exagerate.

on the way back, we went to kb..ok maybe that was not on the way, but we figured, rather than spending a nite elsewhere and hitting the 6 hrs journe the next day from middle of nowhere, it's better to go back to Tok We's and spending the extra hour or two from kb-kl. Tok We is getting better. She is even strong enough to greet us at the door when we reached her house. I went dead that nite, in the middle of my aunts n uncles chats. to compensate, i woke up early and sat by Tok We to hear her stories...and as always, she got quite a few.

on the way balik, while the rest are sleeping and papa is alternating between nuts, asam, sweets and goreng pisang to avoid sleepiness, i watched Dil To Pagal Hai, alone.
ahahaha.. thanks to the technology that i like most about nissan serena. hindustan to kill my 3 hours of boredom. it work like hell... though it annoys papa to the same amount.

now back in the office.
good news, the buss plan is only to be completed next week. this means i've to come up with the write up ONLY. fuhhh..legaa...
but greeting me in the inbox this morning were pile of "nik, can u attend to this, URGENT"
and some may not even realise that i was on leave for 2 days that they happily mark today NOON as deadline. hah! screw them.. eheheh

on a totally diff note, i received an email from a fren. announcing his wedding to another fren of mine. and these 2 belongs in my closest circle of frens. the first 2 siblings of 18. God, it's happening! As much as i am happy for them, i cant help feeling a teeny bit of fear and quite substantial part of jealousy. Darn, it's happening again, i'm turning into a devil.

while i was away, my dearest.. (aftermuch contemplation, my baby, my man, my boy, my wateva) was looming around here. and everytime he did it, i feel embarassed to the extend of shutting this whole blog down.
but then again
naaahhh!!

enough already
i can hear my boss asking his secretary to call me in..
ta!

p/s: dear, thx for buat2 sibuk while i was away stranded on the island (macamla) which does not have any phone coverage nor a public phone. now u know how i felt when u were in tioman..we're equal now. cheers libra!
