unpacking the life out of me

there are SO many things to unpack, i have no idea how to start...so obviously i came over and blogged instead.

and i just realized something; i have a habit of publishing my post first before doing a read-over, and then only edit it if needs be. so sometimes i publish my posts three of four times before i'm satisfied with it - now the thing is i just realized that if i have any reader who follows me on Google Reader, they'd find this habit of mine pretty annoying cause Google Reader will show ALL versions of the posts...whoops. sorry about that.

i had five credit card statements, two phone bills and one paycheck waiting for me when i got here (and a grinning Niesa, a mushy Mas, and an invisible Khaza shouting from the kitchen). there's a thick fog outside, a tree of crisp golden leaves standing side by side with one thick with soft green leaves, and i have two blocks of ice as my feet - it's a lovehate relationship, the one that i have with this place.


my darling auntie gave me a Thai recipe book before i came here, which i am really thankful and excited for because of my undying love for Thai food (and food in general) - last time she gave me a compass and a traveller's praying mat, which had been very useful - she somehow always knows the right things to give :)

and you wouldn't have guessed what the guy checking my friend and i in in KLIA called me; at first i thought he was being sarcastic, but as a cynical grin began to appear from my face, he kept his straight and serious. so i quickly recovered and acted like it was the most natural thing that a stranger could've called me - you wanna know what it was?~

'Yang Mulia ada satu beg je ye?'

*dies*

i'm hardly a princess, if you ask me.


and i managed to fast only until 9pm Malaysian time. the (very nice, can-only-be-found-among-MAS-crew,) stewardess began to worry about me and offered to save dinner for me just in case i want to break my fast. i told her i wanted to wait a bit more and that i wasn't hungry at all, but alas i relented because i thought i wouldn't last until 1am malaysia (which it will be when i get to London Heathrow)..so instead of buying food in Heathrow, i thought i should just eat the free food on the plane.

(note: these are all blatant lies...she broke her fast because a steward offered her a handsome Magnum..you're a weak, weak, person, Atiqah. *geleng-geleng kepala)


kay...i should probably go on with unpacking.

byez.
p.s. classes commence tomorrow. i hope i can get into Spanish. please please.
