My Covid Journals

3rd May up to 6th May 2021- I spent the whole 4 days quarantined in my apartment. I didn't even buy any groceries after I got my result. At first I did not planned to trouble my cousin Una who is staying close by with her family since she has kids & other relatives at home. 

The Positive Covid Cases by date:-

3rd May 2021- 2500 cases

5th May 2021- 3744 cases

7th May 2021- 4498 cases

After I found out that people can drop off items at the guard house and the guards will send them up to my front door. I decided to tell her about it and she offered to help me buy groceries, supplement & medicines. I was so grateful that she is around. I even have to force her to take my money for all the things she bought me. I knew she & her husband would not take my money. But I just banked it into her savings account regardless.

Among the few acquaintance that I have, Leong was the one who texted me first and I was so surprised by it since we hardly text each other. (He is married by the way and a lot younger than me). But we do talked a lot after gym class since we are working in the same line. He said the gym asked him if he knows me and they told him about it. Another surprise was my cousin Grace. She found out from our mutual 'friend' YuKong. I guessed my colleague told our ex-colleague and that ex-colleague told YuKong. And he told her. 😀. 

I updated my status in MySejahtera and waited for KKM's calls which never came. Until one day I received a text message asking me to go to Stadium Melawati CAC for assessment. I made an appointment using their website to go the next day. But I received another message from KKM asking me to remain quarantined at home. So I didn't go on the appointed date. Then later on, I received another text asking me to go the the CAC center at a confirmed date and time. I finished up all the works that I can and packed my things. I remembered it was a Friday 7th May 2021. One of my colleague has been taken to the quarantined place by an ambulance a couple of days prior.

I was reluctant to bring my pillow. Luckily I did after being further advised by my colleagues. 

My Bags of necessities

Reached CAC around 9.30am as per appointed time. Parked my car. I stood at the parking lot and did not see any crowd or line. I saw a white tent at the corner of the parking lot. I walked over but saw that it was empty. So I walked around and finally saw the queue. It was not as long as I think it would be.

 

The first queue of the day

While in line, the guy in white protective gears told us to download Selangkah app and fill up all the details there. At this point, I was still confident that I will be allowed to quarantine at home since I only have what I thought to be mild symptoms. So I did not bring all the bags down with me. After filling up all the details, I was asked to go straight into the stadium and began another queue process. I must have queued 4 times. 

The last assessment was done by a doctor, which will determine if I can quarantine at home or be admitted to the quarantine center. I saw the blood pressure device, my heart beats faster since I don't have good results with it when I'm nervous. I was asked if I have high blood pressure and if I took any medication. As far as I know, I do not have any high blood pressure. But I panicked and said, I might have but not on medication. Asked how I know I have high BP? I said when I checked for blood test and it shows high cholesterol. Dumb. The doctor was a little impatient with my dumb answer. She asked do I have diabetes? I told her I don't. But based on my latest blood test, which measures a 3 days average sugar level. I was at borderline. She asked what other symptoms do I have? I said, diarrheas. I was still having upsets stomach at that point but I did not mentioned this to her. However, with this last information on having diarrhea, she decided to admit me to MEAPS PKRC. Damn. My heart sank. I asked can't I quarantine at home since I'm staying alone. She said "No, it's even worst since there will be no one to monitor me in case of emergency". I was given an orange slip with MAEPS, a Tick marking Gelang box & a date written 15/5/2021. I was suppose to be there from 7th to 15th May 2021. A total of 9 days. I knew I didn't pack enough clothes.

Last Assessment queue

So was told to queue at another line, I were to leave my IC there and then was told to get my bags. So I did. And then comes the super long wait for the bus to take us to MAEPS. They did give out biscuits and water while waiting for the bus. It was a fasting month. Some even offered and were allowed to drive to the quarantine center themselves as the wait was so damn long. I wanted to drive myself there too, but I worried I would not know where the exact place is. My mom also told me to wait.

Bus waiting area

So I waited. I started to see people exhibiting selfish act at that time. A group of young dorm students all wearing black kept hogging one of the socket and leaving their phone to charge and kept replacing it with their friends phone. I was trying to conserve batteries since I left my powerbank in the office. I managed to find another power outlet. And after just charging for a little while, a guy approached saying he wanted to charge for a while. This is after I saw him playing with his phone without conserving the batteries. I let him. I must have waited close to 5 hours at the waiting area. I was on the bus at 4.38pm.

Inside the bus. This was where we were given the stickers.

I did not talked to anyone as I was so tired and hungry. The bus journey to MAEPS was another long drive. Maybe it was because of rush hour or maybe because it was raining. We must have reached MAEPS around 7pm and were left at a stop area (open area with roof, Surau & toilet). 

This was the open air stop area where we had our dinner 

We were given our dinner and was told that we will be waiting there until 8.30pm, then we'll be driven up to the designated halls based on the color of the sticker pasted on our sleeves. I knew my yellow sticker meant that I will be placed at a higher alert hall. Since one of the girl who fainted earlier was also in the same group as I am. I met 2 Vietnamese girls at the stop area. I initially mistook them of being from Myanmar. One can speak rather fluent mandarin, the other one does not. They asked me to help translate for them since the health workers & volunteers were all speaking and giving instructions in Malay.

I was in a Surau at the stop area waiting for my phone to charge.

We were brought up to the halls and the first sentence I heard upon entering the halls was, "Why did you guys bring them here?". There were 11 of us. They said that they were instructed to. So not knowing what to do with us, we were asked to wait at the corner while they sort things out. 

Waiting for someone to come and tell us what to do.

We waited quite a while. Nobody came to tell us what to do. I ate cup porridge offered by the Vietnamese girl.

My cup porridge.

They gave me a strawberry croissant too. I just took whatever they offered since I did not bring any food with me at all.

Then one of the patient who saw and pitied us came over and talked to me since I was the only chinese looking person there. She told me to find any empty beds to sleep on. And told us to ask for blankets etc from the front office. I relayed the message to the rest of the 10 ladies. And we were off on our own. I partnered up with the Vietnamese girls Nguyen Thi Dong and Trinth Hong Yen. Both were very young, Hong Yen was born in 1990. Both of them are married. Hong Yen is married to a local chinese. They called me 'jie' = older sister. We got ourselves top bunk beds side by side in a row and knowing that the bottom bed mother & daughter pair will leave early tomorrow morning. We can switch to the lower bed when they leave. I managed to come down early before it was taken over by someone else. The other girls kept sleeping until quite late and didn't manage to secure the beds. It was taken over so fast by other patients.

My bed No. A3-E17. It was near a charging station too. Someone counted that there were more than 500 beds in Hall A3.  Hall A2 was for male patients and less crowded than our hall.

We got ourselves settled down around 1.30am that day. I showered after getting the patient tag and fixing my bed. The 2nd act of selfishness I witnesses was people hogging pillows. Since the pillows provided was too soft and thin. People tend to shove 2 pillows inside the pillowcase and did not even offer any to us when we were searching for one. Lucky that I brought my own pillow. 

My only comfort

 

 

That Time I Tested Positive for Covid19- 3rd May 2021

Hello~ It has been such a long time since I made any entry. I don't even know if I can still write in this blog. I realized as I grow older, I do not find solace in writing anymore.

However, due to recent development. My brother said I should.

Let's just cut to the chase.

Chronology of my covid19 test:- 

Tue- 27th April 2021. My Boss received a phone call and suddenly closed his office door. My colleagues Ah Ho & Huey Fen went to Malacca that day. While Ah Wee was on leave. Which left Boss, Lionel & me in office. I think this is his most infectious day.

Wed- 28th April 2021. Again, only Boss, Lionel & me in office in the morning. I had lunch with Ah Ho and Ah Wee afternoon.

Thurs- 29th April 2021. Public Holiday.

Friday- 30th April 2021. Ah Wee & I was in office in the morning & had lunch together. I went to Site Meeting later in the afternoon.

Saturday- 1st May 2021. Public Holiday- Started to have sore throat. I went IKEA with SY after such a long time of no contact with her due to our fall out. She needed help in buying things to move into her new house. Spent the whole day with her. Morning till night time. We had lunch & dinner together, I even use my chopstick to pass her some chicken meat. I thought of cancelling. But I am sure our friendship will never survive if I do. She concurred.

Sunday- 2nd May 2021- Sore throat & stayed at home whole day.

Monday- 3rd May 2021- Sore throat getting worst when I woke up in the morning & realized I had body ache too when I was groaning/ whining getting up from bed to go to the toilet. Took MC & went to a clinic to get some meds & the MC Cert. I was a little annoyed when the receptionist was so curt on the registration process. I have to scan a QR code & self registered. He also asked me to put the hand sanitizer up to my elbows. 

So I went in the doctor's room, told her my symptoms. She checked my blood pressure, a little high. I don't have any fever. The doctor said, "let's do Covid19 test". I said "Sure. I haven't done any before." I thought I'll just check for fun. I asked if we are doing RTK-Antigen or PCR test. She said let's do RTK first. No need to spend so much. So as I waited outside for the result, I realized the receptionist was wearing double mask. Did he always have double mask on? After a while, he told me to go in again & this time he asked me to put on the hand sanitizer attached to the wall of the doctor's room before going in. 

When I went in, I saw the defeated look on the doctor's face & I kind of knew it was not good. I sat down and she told me my result was positive. I was shocked & in denial. I looked at the double line on the RTK test to be sure. It was clearly 2 lines no doubt about it. Then she said, let's do PCR test. And we did. She asked me if I had any idea where I might get it from. My mind was blank at first, until I remembered my Boss was coughing a lot recently & was not feeling too good. Emotionally, I was ok at first. Then the doctor pushed the tissue box to me. Then the tears started rolling down. 

The doctor was so nice and gave me courage to accept the result & saying that I am strong. I don't have severe symptoms and that I can get through this. My oxygen level is also very good so I have nothing to worry about. She is also staying at the same place as I am (different tower) & can come visit if I needed any help. They were just words, but these were the words that I needed to hear at the moment. So worth the RM25 counselling fees.

After informing SY & my colleagues. Everyone of them went to get tested on the same day. The office closes after lunch. Luckily all my close contacts tested negative. Yes, even SY whom I just spent the whole day together on Saturday. Even all my close colleagues whom I had lunch together, who sat behind me, my Zumba buddies & my SITE team all tested negative. The infections stop with me. Unfortunately, total 4 of us tested positive in the office. But none of them were my close contacts.

The guilt and shame of telling the whole world that I was infected was so hard on me. As I had to tell everyone that I talked to. Even my apartment Management Office & the Gym that I went to. That was the hardest for me. I just mustered up the courage and told them. It was up to them on what they would do with the information. The gym was not closed at all. The apartment was sanitized. And my building management was so accommodating in helping me bring up groceries or deliveries from my cousin up to my unit. As I have to quarantined myself while waiting for KKM to call.

This is my PCR test which I was emailed to on 4-5-2021. After getting the phone call from the Clinic late evening. This was also after I started calling them and asking about it. Since my other colleagues' result was already out and mine hasn't.

Venting out Frustration

I hate that all these sadness comes from knowing too much of whats happening. Sometimes i wish i was oblivious to the happenings around me. Maybe then i won't be in such a shitty mood.

I wish that i don't care, i wish that i'm not jealous. But again and again the lopsidedness of the situations are begining to drag me down a few levels. I sometime wish that i don't need this job and the money it promises. I don't have any friends, my colleages are not my friends as they will ditch me when their friends are calling. My cousins are not my friends as they have their own family. I sometimes wish that i can pretend that everything is all bright and sunny in my world but it never was. I sometimes wish that i am staying in my own house and walk to the kitchen and make me a bowl of cereal without having to worry about people looking at me bawling my eyes out crying.

I kept hoping that maybe next time it will be my turn to go to China, but it never will be. Why am i the only one who cares about how my boss is feeling. I know its because i knew how it felt to be left out and i wouldn't wish that on anybody else if i cam help it. But why should i be the one who kept entertaining him while the other two can simply said they have plans. Even ordering food need to wait for the colleague! I came early or on time because i myself don't like people waitimg om me adm vice versa. What's so difficult in ordering food?! Next time i will take my time. Let them wait for me. Next time i'll say i have plans. Let them entertain boss. Next time i'll come in late to office and make use of the flexibility. They have 5 days e tra leave? Next time i'll go back sharp at 5.30pm. He wants them in charge? I'll make sure i asked them to sign off everything. But how can i ask them to when both of them won't be around to approved everything the whole week next week. There goes the waterworks again.*sigh. 

Why do i try to do good? I know i am not a good person. 

How should i act when they started to post pictures while they were there? Should i respond?

The first time this happened i cried as well and contemplated on why he he chose my junior over me? I gave myself all the reason that i can think of. My ex- Manager left i think partly because of this. I'm sure my tendering manager will take some time to brainwash me on her take on this as well. But i don't need any from her coz i already am feeling and seeing the obvious.

I came as low as wishing their plane crash. This was as low as i get when i was in secondary school wishing i had a machine gun and gunned down everyone. I came to a realization that i don't want that at all coz i don't want to lose any of them coz i love them too much.

There must be a lot of grammar and spelling mistakes in this post. I can't see too well at this time. I'll fix 'em later though.

I got My House Key today!!

On what's supposed to be a happy anticipated day for me turned sour when i think that i may have lost a friend due to tardiness. Of course there are always 2 sides to every story. Hang on guys, i'm in the mood for a looong story.

SY and my friendship has been on the rocks ever since that silent quarrel we had when instead of me going over to her place and bring her around in her area, she came to my office to have lunch and a movie later on. Maybe it was all having to do with communication problem but i was having the impression that she was suppose to reached my office right after 12.30noon. However, i waited for such a long time that my boss and colleagues kept asking me to go and have a light lunch with them rather than waiting for her alone in my office. I went along because i was hungry. So this was the start of her saying that i always ditched her for my colleagues and only look for her when i have nobody else to hang out with. She gave me the silent treatment when i tried calling her after lunch and she didn't pick up. So i just went in to the movies because she was late as well. I passed the ticket to the guy at the entrance to give it to a girl name SY. She came in after a while and it was so fucking awkward. We only talked after the movie ended. Then one day after we had not hung out for such a long time we had the long awaited argument in my car while again i drove to her place to pick her up to go to a movie near her place. I thought that i would win the arguments by saying that even though i was the one who picked her up and even already gave her a 30minutes head start to get ready, i still ended up waiting a long time outside her house for her to go to the toilet and putting on make up. But her argument was, at least she never bailed out on me. Yeah right, what about the trip to singapore? I am a patient person but i have my limit. One time i took my colleague to pick her up at her house  as well and she still let us wait outside. And my colleague finally know what i have been saying all along. I don't even remember a single time where she was waiting and ready to go once i reached! I knew that someday, tardiness will be the death of this friendship. I think i was being a pushover and i think it's about time to end it as well. I found out that she was the type who hold grudges when she told me that she hated a friend of ours and haven't been in speaking terms with her even though the friend has a few times tried to reached out. So i was really careful not to offend SY and just took it like a wuss. She was even worst, she can even cancel a trip or a flight ticket to a good friends wedding after confirming everything. But she had a good reason, that her sister had dengue and her mom needed help at home. This was also one of the reason that i was not keen on going on a holiday with her whenever she suggested it because she had the tendency to cancel at the very last minute. I am not the only one who is aware about this habit of hers.

So about today, everything was ok when i went looking for her last night for a Christmas dinner because i didn't want to be alone (oh wait, it's still about last night). I told her i was going for a massage that evening for 1 hr, but i can meet up for dinner later. So we met up, i still had to wait outside for about 10min. and we went to a restaurant near her place. And then we took the train to KLCC for coffee and to get a feel of the Christmas decoration there. KLCC even with the giant Christmas tree was not as grand as Pavilion KL to be honest. During dinner i told her that she was the only friend i had in KL, but she always said that i have a lot (referring to the pictures i took of the few outings i had with my colleagues, i knew that she will feel left out when i was posting those pics and will bring it up when she can and sure enough she did) and again said that i treated her as a second choice. Maybe i did, just because my colleague is nearer proximity wise. I did asked her why am i always the one who have to go to her and never the other way around? She said the last time that happened, she was left eating lunch alone. *sigh. I am grateful that she wanted to accompany me to get my house key, she seemed very excited last night. But in my heart i knew that she will be late and i just gave her a benefit of a doubt to prove me wrong.
At the last minute, this morning actually, my cousin who i thought was not able to go with me for the key handing over texted from the next room me asking what time should we meet the developer. I was glad that she wanted to come since i knew that she had a baby to take care of and arranging for her husband to be there with us as well. The husband even had to work today. But i thought it is still not a problem since I told SY last night that she need to be at the designated spot by 9.30am for me to pick her up and go to the apartment. And my cousin said that she can asked her husband to pick her up from the house and go there together. For me to fetch SY is actually a longer way for me to go and come back to the apartment which was just 5 minutes from where i am currently staying. But i didn't mind since i was asking for a favor. By 9 am, i called her up and she said she was already up but needed to go to the toilet and will be late and might only be able to reach at 9.40am. I was starting to get nervous because i was expecting her to leave her house by 9am. Then i saw my cousin was also rushing to wake the baby up and prepare the baby stuff. So i called her again at 9.18am and she still hasn't left her house yet. I have a feeling that she will only leave at 9.30am and I was wondering even if i leave my house now at 9.18am, i still needed another 30min to reach the place where she was supposed to be waiting. And i would probably end up waiting until 10am for her to arrive and then drive like a madman to reach the apartment for the 10am appointment. Which by then i will already be 10-15min if not 30min late. I do not want to apologize for my friend being late if i can help it. Asked my colleague, i will ditched them and wait at the restaurant for them instead of waiting around. From the tone of her voice i already knew that i started a war. If it was only me that will be affected by her being late, i probably still be okay with it. I have endured it for so many times that i lost count. But this time it involved so many parties, including a baby. I really hope that she sees where i was coming from. Because all the people in my house my cousin and her husband .. Heck even the baby is punctual or earlier than necessary. In my opinion, she should have been on time and everything will be all okay. I tried reaching out to her by sending pictures of my house defects and etc. The response that i gotten from her was something like this, "Your house has nothing to do with me, no need to tell me so much". Hm.. My so called friend. * sigh
My response "Then i am sorry for wanting to be punctual". She will text again to fend for herself when the time comes. I just hope that my heart won't beat so fast from being scared. Scared of what? I don't know.

Oh well G, i guess next year's girl trip will just be minus one? She called a while back (like weeks/ months ago) suggesting all these places for our girls trip, but again i did not give an enthusiastic response. She was the one giving the ideas, but she asked me to post it in our chat group, i was not okay with this and was baffled, i mean why?. I told her to post it herself, she said ok, but she never did. I always had the feeling that i won't be enjoying myself if i went on a trip with her. Lucky that i did not went with her and her colleagues the last time they went to Japan. So much drama. Life is much too precious for these kind of dramas.

Time Of His Life

My brother is having the time of his life.

And i am jealous.

He quit his full time job to concentrate on his part time job.

Became a nomad. He was in Cebu. Then Singapore.Then went home and then he was in Bangkok. Came to KL for a friend's wedding. Back to Bangkok, Moved to Hua Hin. Got another tattoo. Bangkok again. And now, he is in Vietnam.

My First House

Hey, it's been a while.

I always thought that writing was some kind of therapy for me and that i have been writing in my diary since i can remember. Maybe because all these things in my head is not meant for other human being to hear. Or i felt like the things that i am going through now is not as big of a problem compared to what others are going through.

One of my to do list this year was going back packing to an asean country. My cousin was planning to go to Mactan Island in the Philipines. Again there was the possibility of kidnappings. But i didn't care about that. And i find it so disheartening when i couldn't find any 'friend' to go with. I the plans for a solo trip to Phuket, up to the point of looking at flight fare and accommodation, travel time etc. But on the other hand, i have been putting it off myself mostly due to the current Dollar currency is at the all time high while Ringgit is falling. And then i found out that my cousin was going with the husband and another couple from our hometown, by this time i was still looking for 'kaki' when i was told not to go to islands during December month due to monsoon season. I found one but i have the feeling that the percentage of the friend going is basically 30%. Another reason was that I have my apartment renovation/ payment that i need to be thinking about. I am not so sure how i would fare with the responsibility of owning and paying for an apartment. 

Which leads me to the topic of this entries. My first house.!! My cousin's husband kept trying to point out the negative of the apartment. I know he didn't mean it but that's what it felt like when he said things like, 'i don't think that place will amount to anything in the future', ' so many cars parked outside, so crowded', 'it's only been a while and i already saw a few blacks'. Well i was already thinking about all those before he pointed it out.

I need someone to accompany me for the 26th Dec walk-through program. SY says she will try to go, but she wanted to choose to either go with me or go Yoga and hang out with her Poli friends. Left me wondering with he answer. Knowing her, she is someone who hold grudges. If she were to ask me, i wouldn't say no. I think she is still trying to get me back for always ditching her for my colleagues. Oh well. I tried asking my cousin, but she didn't give me any clear answer. Maybe i wasn't asking clearly.

Side track- There is a Big Bad Wolf Sale going on, and i think today is the last day. I wanted to go but not thinking of buying any books, because of all the packing that i needed to do when i move. Furthermore, i had tons of book unread from my previous haul. I'm thinking i might be doing a lot of reading in my new house since i don't plan to install any internet connection so soon.

I have been getting some useful advice from Cousin G on house renovation. Felt so grateful and a little overwhelmed on the detailed things to consider. i have been reading about cases where the contractor left after getting paid more than the works done. I have 2 potential contractors. There is another one who already gave a detailed quotation which is double my budget and after doing some research on the company, found out that they do not have a good reputation even though they said they can produce 3D autocad drawings of the place once i appoint them.

Anyhow, i hope everything turns out well.

My meaningful days in Sabah

I have an option of going to Phuket alone, going to Mactan Island in the Philippines and going back to Sabah. After a long time pondering and researching. I have made the decision to go back to Sabah. And i think that that was the right decision. I spent one night in kk, wai the 3rd brother came and picked me up from the airport. He brought along my nephew (his son) in his wife's new car. All this works perfectly for me. We went straight to lunch of noodles and prawn balls. My treat. He then sent me to big brother's to spend the night.

I spent time with my niece and nephew (his kids) in the evening, singing karaoke and playing with dolls. At night during dinner, i hung out with the nanny and the wife. Dinner was all cooked with Thermomix or as Induk (my cousin) likes to call it- the German Maid. Even down to the lemonade. Yum~~

The next day was a Sunday, so i sleep in while they went to church. By the time they finished, i was up and ready to go out and joined them for breakfast. I had noodles and after pestering big bro to order the unhealthy oily fried noodle. They drove me to the taxi stand to get a taxi back to Ranau. Note to self- a lot of taxi/ van with Seluruh Sabah- Ranau written on the side of the van.

Bro went down, talked to a 7 seater driver, and got i got the last spot on the car and i rode shotgun! I felt So lucky. The young driver, kept looking at his phone while driving though. That made me nervous and pretended to sleep while he was manoeuvring the winding road. 

Just before i reached Ranau my home sweet home, i texted My friend Eja to find out if she is around. And she was! So i arranged for a meet up once i arrived. We went out for a drink at 3pm. The wind was blowing cold wind and the  it started to rain from 4-5pm. The shop closes at 4pm, but since the owner was also still at the next table drinking with his buddies, we took our time knowing that he was around. We changed location to another spot and i texted Chal to join us, but i got his old number and never get a reply.

I drove my friend home after stopping by the supermarket to get something for mum and reload card for Eja. It was so great catching up with her.  I went home feeling full from the drinks, cakes and chicken wings we had that evening. I was so sleepy at 10pm and i hit the sack while re-visiting my teenage years rereading Slam Dunk comics.

The next day was a monday. Woke up, had breakfast chak kui and soft boil eggs and coffee. Watched tv and Started getting calls for works even though the line is bad. Tried as best that i can to arrange from where i was. In the evening, the parents took me to mum's orchard to have a look at the illegal graves of an old lady buried in 1978 and a child. We found the old lady's grave since it was recently cleared and cemented on 1st of november 2015. But we couldn't find the child's grave because of the thick bush. But it was said to be marked with a bottle. A whole long story to be told here for some other time.

Anyway, we plucked a few jack fruits, took a few pictures and ate a couple of sour lime and head back.

I continued to watch tv, read a few more comics, slept a couple of winks and it was time for dinner. Mum cooked the jackfruit fritters which i love love love. I had a few before dinner. Dinner was, sup ayam lihing, century egg, fried fish, mix veggies and another veggie soup. Watched tv again, took my shower, read a few pages of comics and dream time. I had a relaxing day. Since i can't really access the internet, i was having an internet intervention. It was what i needed.

The next morning, since i was going to kk that afternoon, I had planned to go for breakfast at Nam Hong with mom, we even told pops not to buy breakfast for us. But mom said pops bought the noodles for us already. Sigh. It turns out pops didn't buy them, but someone else did for him. We ate them anyways. I woke up hearing aunty Theresa's voice. I got up quickly to greet them after hearing my nephew Chanon was there too. Without brushing my teeth, washing my face and combing my hair. I played with the nephews the whole afternoon. I had to beg him to let me go have breakfast and pee. He was fascinated with the chickens and the soil mum had at the back of the house. They went home and left uncle to with his rifle to hunt some squirrel near the workshop.

We left Ranau at 2pm. Stopped by Tamparuli for toilet and the noodles. Pops bought 2 packs for SIL tina knowing that she can take 2 of those while pregnant. Reached wai's house and we let ourselves in. They were sleeping so we decided to head over to big bro's. We arrived and were greeted with the smell of something delicious. It was Korean Crispy fried chicken. Which i love love love. It stayed crunchy even after a few hours. SIL baked yam cake with dried prawns- can i call it cakes? Anyways, it was delicious! I had a lot of those. Yum.

At night i followed big bro to their weekly futsal games with the intention of catching up with my cousin Induk. We had a great time. My cousin Brielly was there too. We continued to have a drink after the games with the guys. They won by a lot that they lost count by the way. We then went home and after showering i continued to have 3 more of those crunchy chicken wings. I didn't even know if i was suppose to finish all 3 of the wings. But i did! It was around 11pm when i was done. I continued to watched something on tv. Dozed off a couple of times, gave up and went to bed. I tried to make the most of my off days and i think i did. 

The next day, i woke up on my own time. Shower, had breakfast, coffee and watched Transformer. I texted Linah a friend of mine who works at the airport to meet up. Dad took me to the airport. The car died one time. Oops. I waited for a good while for Linah to arrive. When she did, we only got less than half an hour to talk about what has been going on with ourselves. We had a good laugh, hugged goodbye and see you later during chinese new year. I board the flight after stretching the time as long as i can without the plane leaving my ass. 

Reaching kl, i had a nice dinner cousin Una who is always eager to listen to my story whenever i was back to Sabah since she hadn't been back a while. Now in bed writing my meaningful journey back i had back home.
