the original plan was actually for me to follow him but with my sis in tow and me not feeling very comfortable with all the traveling we'd have to do, we decided that it'd be better for me to just stay in my hometown while R would just come back to K after spending a couple of days with his family in M. we both knew it would take a toll on his energy but it was the best plan that we could come up with, both energy-wise and finance-wise.
anyhow after all the drama that my parents (along with the other sis) just upped and left us during the holidays - which i know a lot of people don't understand how it could happen, even my neighbours, but then we've always been an unconventional family - it actually worked out for the best. i got to just chill out at home without any stress from my dad - altho i did miss my mom- but R and my sis were a big help at home in terms of keeping the house neat and feeding the cats and fishies and watering the plants and all.
the journey back to K on fri night took us longer than usual - we eventually arrived at 3.30am saturday morning! after having breakfast together by the beach, R and his brother who had come along to accompany him, headed off on their journey back to their hometown. i spent the rest of my saturday basically doing nothing - just watching tv, reading and catching up with sleep. just went out for awhile to buy late lunch and had friday's leftovers for dinner. i conked out early and woke up a bit past midnight and then had trouble going back to sleep. bleugh.
after feeding the cats early sunday morning, went back to bed for a nap. brought the sis out for brunch, feeling starving haha. loaded ourselves with food and we were good for the day. after just chilling out at home for the rest of the day, met up with girlfriends who were also back in town for the hols in the evening. as usual, went to our fave laksa and keropok place. R arrived back in K rght before dinner time. so we brought the sis ou for dinner at one of my fave dinner spot. had my fill of chicken ceasar salad along with some pasta. topped it off with their yummy banoffee pie - i should really learn how to make those things.
monday morning, R and i headed off to the banks to settle my banking stuff. the first bank we went to was so full, even though it had only opened for like half an hour! so decided to try our luck at the other branch, and we got lucky - got attended to in a short while and everything was done quite fast. then headed off to another bank and managed to settle some stuff there too, without even having to go see anyone hehe. so happy that we decided to head out early and got all the stuff out of the way. we had kenny rogers take-away for late lunch - i was craving haha - and spent the rest of the day at home. went out later that night just to go to the drive-thru to grab some dinner.
i know, i know. i normally cook a lot when we're in kl. but when i'm back in my hometown, the feeling to cook just sort of deserts me, haha. or maybe it's just cos it's easier to eat out in kuantan. no traffic, and it's also not that expensive.
so on the day of eidul adha yesterday, when everyone else was stuffing their faces with lemang and ketupat and rendang and whatnot, i just went digging in the fridge to see what we had - and finally just cooked some scrambled eggs and hashbrowns for breakfast, teehee. oh well, it did the job. we headed back to kl sometime noon, and had late lunch before sending the sis off back to her college. then went to grab coffee (in my case, iced choc) with cake with A for some catching up. ended up at home around dinner time but we were pretty stuffed. but that didn't stop us from having some of the ketupat and rendang that R's mom had his brother pass to us later that night, heheh.
anyway, that's my recap for the last few days. pretty mundane stuff, i know. but i enjoyed it. this weekend should be a mixture of fun and relaxation - gonna be celebrating one of my best friend's birthday. can't wait for the cake and laughter that will ensue.
