Monthly update of my blog. My blog is boring, so is my life.

MAN is leaving for a business trip and leaving me alone for few days.

It’s not that I never have alone time ever since I moved here, he goes back Penang every 40+ days where I got to be alone for a week. But this time is slightly different that he isn’t go back to Penang but somewhere else. He got to stay in Hilton and visit the big city while I am alone at home repeating the same boring life until he comes back. I am sad, I guess more of jealous.

I think of putting a toy gun in his baggage when helping him to pack so he will be interrogated by the immigration and not letting him to board. He will miss his flight, but eventually the police will find out that is the toy gun and let him go, then he will come back home.

I’m not the only silly one. MAN’s assistant made a mistake by booking the air ticket using his Chinese name. Us, Malaysian Chinese have a Chinese name which is never appear on any document like Passport or ID card, which is what we learned and noticed since we got here. MAN thought of don’t update the ticket so he will not be allowed to get on board since he will not be able to prove that he is the person stated on the ticket. Then he will not need to travel and he will come back home.

Sane or insane.

I personally felt this. MAN had a handful of relationship before I met him while I myself had a few. I discuss this with MAN after reading the article. We both felt the same way. We tended to strive for a better one by having list of characteristics subconsciously if we dumped people and tried to change ourselves so we can do better in the next relationship if we got dumped. We learned and came a long way and transformed into who we are today.

I do not know if I did changed the life of anyone I once loved but I did learned from them. I am thankful that they have once stepped into my life. There were both love and hate stories and undeniably, I learned and I grew up. Through them, I understand myself better and I discover what I really want.

If there is a chance to rewind everything to the starting point, I’m not sure ff I still want to go down the same path all over again, but if I’m not, I might not be who I am today, and more importantly, I might not be able to meet MAN.

So, thank you.

I know it took me more than a month to post up this, I’m just lazy, no one to be blamed.

It’s a bit different from the other 25th April of all the previous years’ birthday celebration. MAN planned for an overnight stay in HK and 2 days of eventful itinerary. I have always wanted to spend a night in HK so we can stay up late, have drinks somewhere or even strolling at the street.

We had our breakfast at Central and shopping for bit before heading for hotel check in. Knowing that I have 2 whole days to spend in HK, with some events that MAN refused to tell, I’m looking forward for everything coming up.

We took the city tram to tour the city for a bit before going to take the Peak tram. The City tram slowly drives pass between buildings and billboards, such a blissful moment on Saturday afternoon.

This was the second time we go up to the Peak together. We under estimated the breeze and the weather on the peak, it’s so windy and a tad too cold. We spent our afternoon on the Peak, walk around and admire the view for a bit.

MAN told me we’re going to have dinner at Peak but didn’t tell me which restaurant to go to until it’s time for dinner. It’s a cottage at the Peak.

Delicious food, wonderful companion on my birthday at the scenic Peak of HK , what’s more I can ask for.

I called home last night, only get to know that the SPM result already released, as expected, he just got an average result. I remember when he was in primary school, my mum urged me and my sisters to keep an eye on his academy, we tried hard to push him to learn, to get better result in school.

After I started to work, and looking at friends around me, people who used to be top in the class is just another ordinary employee working in the office. My other friends who was playful in the class, always ended up the last few in the class, became bosses of themselves, driving luxury car and owned some landed properties.

Then I started to think.

I tried to let go, let my bro to enjoy his high school life, play hard with friends, what he needed was just to make sure himself don’t get into any kind of trouble that the school penalize. Now, he graduated, with good memory of high school days and a bunch of good friends.

He is now looking for college to advance his study. He initially wanted to follow my foot step to take Computer Science, which I didn’t give any objection, but I advise him to choose a subject that he interested.

Today, he went to the college to check out the course information all by himself, he can drive there but he insisted to take ferry then transfer to bus as he is not familiar with the route, I thought, “Oh, my bro really grown up!”.

I received his call during lunch hour he is so panicked.

Bro: Can you hear me?

Me: Yes, yes.

Bro: How to go back to the jetty from the college?

Me: Where the bus stop you? There should be another bus stand opposite the road.

Bro: No, there is no bus stand.

Me: Then where you get down from the bus this morning?

Bro: No, I took a cab.

Me: …

I was getting ready to alight from the bus while I realize that my earphone was tangled in between my phone and my bag and I pull hard, the music that was playing got cut out. I thought it was just the earphone got unplugged and didn’t realize my phone actually dropped out from my pocket.

Thanks to the guy who yelled at me when I almost step down from the bus.

Though my phone isn’t new, but I still love it. It is the phone that I used for more than 2 years, the longer ever.

I haven’t think of upgrade to a 3G as it’s sufficient to me. The camera isn’t the best but it surely recorded many parts of my life. The iPod is my best companion while I travel alone, I never own an iPod but until I got my iPhone.

More importantly, it is a gift from MAN, that I treasure a lot.
