what was in that tea?

bleh, another sleepless night. typing this on my laptop cos data usage on the iPhone is again at a precarious level. oh maxis, would it kill you to give us another few GBs or so? would it??

had a good few days off from the Raya and Merdeka hols. was supposed to be in als with jaz but i didn't wanna take friday off so the trip tak jadi for me. then there was supposed to be this 1 day makan trip up to ipoh with the husby's boss and wife, but that too was called off. guess i was meant to be in KL this week. :P

so yeah we met up with four Chinese church leaders who came in from Baguio for a week's trip en route home. had fun playing host, introducing them to malaysian food and people. went to Agong's Raya open house (first time in my life!)(missed the timing thou' so had to be content with just peering in from outside)(took pics with two malay families who were all dressed up for the occasion, explaining that it was so that our chinese visitors could see up close their traditional garbs, and they were very sporting!), walked about in Little India, Brickfields (almost bought a saree. if only!)(everything was so colourful) and KLCC (only viewed it from afar)(too many people).. i love thee, my dearest malaysia (that's soo corny but i can't think of another way of saying this, not at this hour).. 

got to meet up with PS & SP on the second day of raya -- which totally reminded me of the trips my mom used to bring us on when we were kids. mom has two good friends and she would take us on bus rides to jinjang (was it kepong?) or OUG to visit the aunties and sometimes we would stay over. so yeah, we were catching up on all the important details about our lives, our families, jobs, neighbors, in laws, boring auntie stuff like that.. and i totally love that what the three of us share is like what mom has when she was younger.. 

ah, it's september already. whoever let you creep up on us like that?
