Endurance Tests

This is suposed to be a quick update...

1) Few weeks ago, I walked from Tesco (Mutiara Damansara) up to Uptown (Damansara Utama) and I took 1 hour and 37 minutes because silly me took a wrong turn and ended up making a big U-turn and later I found myself walking from Sg.Kayu Ara (near the tol exit) towards Uptown...the best thing was that I was carrying a heavy backpack filled with several hardcover books and a laptop. Mak aih senget bahu makcik!!!

2) A distant relative passed away in Muar. It was Thursday, I remember the day because I was fasting. After driving super fast (as tho' my ivory baby can go super fast lah...huhuhu) to get home and had a quick buka puasa (and prayer of course), my parents and I started off our journey to Muar. Papa drove at first, then we stopped at Senawang and I took over the wheel. After the Tangkak exit, Papa drove into Pekan Muar (I'm not familiar with that area). After visiting the allahyarhamah's family and the jenazah (I'm not sure what English word I can use that won't sound awkward for this), Papa again drove up to Tangkak tol house. When I took over the wheel for the second time that night I was tired, my neck was stiff and I drove 120-130km/h. Yes, it wasn't super fast but taking into consideration the road widening/construction process that forced the users to keep on shifting from three lanes to two lanes and from two lanes to one lane...ish3, mata aku dok perhati signboard kaler kuning (ke oren ek?) yang tunjuk lorong ditutup, 'cramp' jugaklah mata sekejap hahahaha (boleh ke macam tu?). I drove all the way from Tangkak to PJ. Tak pernah wei (maybe to others it's nothing, tapi untuk aku kira satu rekod peribadi telah pun tercipta huahuahua - paling jauh aku pernah drive, perhaps balik Ipoh, itupun ganti2 dengan ayah dan adik).(I think I ought to change the title of this entry to "The Lansi-ing Sevenlord"). We arrived home at about 3am, I bathed and performed Isya' and tahajjud and then straight to bed... Amazingly by 6.30am I was already up and feeling fresh after having a shower. Selalunya aku ni liat sikit bangun pagi, lebih2 lagi kalau dah tidur lambat. And that day I arrived at my office earlier than everybody else in my department. What an achievement!! (hahaha...itu pun kira achievement ke?)

I guess if we are determined to do something, we can really achieve it even if we have never done it before in our entire life. Seingat aku masa sekolah dulu merentas desa sajalah 'perjalanan kaki' yang paling jauh pernah aku buat. But, I've always been involved in various sports especially martial arts and sports related to balls e.g. volleyball and netball, sometimes hockey (Pin, not like you ah...I'm not the hunting type :P )...so I guess it's not that bad lah having to walk that far (out of my own sillyness) and it was fun too to be able to drive after midnight hehehe. Do you know they placed a 'dummy' by the roadside to flag the be-cautious-flag (aiiiiyayaya cikgu Bahasa Inggeris ni...). Kalau lalu sebelah dummy tu at 3 in the afternoon, I guess tak rasa apa2, but when you passed by it at 2.30am and your passengers were sound asleep, mak aih seriau juga teman!

Ok now, quick updates...

- I have a cast party and our 'film' screening this Saturday...yeay!!
- Went back to Ipoh last week to attend a cousin's wedding. He used to be my best pal when we were kids, but of course things changed when you became teenagers and started to understand that cousin-cousin relationship is a no-no.
- I'm learning how to play Beethoven's Fur Elise on piano (electronic keyboard actually) and today I learned how to read notes. Terima kasih cikgu Az**
- Awaiting the examination result, entah bila nak keluar.
- Currently thinking of how to secure scholarship for next semester.
- This Sunday I am supposed to attend a friend's sisterS wedding in Sg.Hj.Dorani (I didn't attend her wedding so I guess it would only be appropriate for me to attend her sisterS'). Problem is I am not so sure how to get there.
- Watched SUMOlah...good movie, have to agree that the ending is better than Baik Punya Cilok or Buli Balik. It's a bit draggy towards the middle tho'.

Oklah enough for tonight...going to bed.

Selamat tidur manusia!
