Road Trip...

im back home...finally!! neva knew that i would miss my own bed so much...and of course my smelly pillow.

went to Muar with my dad on mon coz he wanted an ahmad and i was the only free person around. damn.

on the way there, think i fell asleep (lucky only for juz a split second) once on the NS highway and the car sorta move to the left a little. phew. only had about 6 hrs of sleep the night before...guess that wasnt enough for a long drive.

i really have to complain about the traffic cops in msia. johor is a very state and its divided into north and south, Zon A and Zon B. JB is under Zon B but Muar is Zon A. my dad had to pay some taxes in Muar so we had to park and put coupons. We dint know which Zon we were in so we juz put parking coupon for Zon B. we were gone for barely 15 mins when...we got a summon.

after 15 mins of driving around, we found the building for payment. we tried to explain our situation to them, that we did put the coupon, juz that it was for the wrong Zon, but to no avail. those stubborn arse. and on the summon, the traffic police indicated that we did not display coupon. wtf. we did, juz that its the wrong one.

that particular offence was supposed to be a RM100 fine but we bargained to RM50. hahaha. wat a joke.

fine...to be fair to them, there were signs telling us that the area was Zon A, but the signs are not everywhere. there are places that do not have them...like the place we parked. in the end, got fined for nothing.

ohh yah...those traffic police get a percentage of the fines received from the summons they issue. cool huh.

and the lunch break for that tax office is from 12pm to 2pm. and they end work at 3.30pm. good life huh.

finally reached my relative's place in the evening. went to look at my dad's oil palm plantation after that. cool place. land is really dirt cheap over there. that size of land would be worth many millions if its in singapore.

they had no showers over there, so bathing was with a few pails of water and a scoop. their flush was not working so flushing was using a pail and a scoop as well. haha.

lucky i brought along newpapers and a book...or else i would had been bored to death. i dun tok to my msia relatives. they are nice people...i think...but i dun really like them. so kept myself in the room the whole night.
next morning, i was woken up by itches on my body. stupid mosquitoes. think i got 10 bites in all, including one on my lip.

#$%&%#$#.

and muslim prayers were played at dawn...duno by who also...damn loud...lasted for damn long. dammit! how to sleep!?! and there were roosters crowing (correct word?) as well.

before all the mosquitoes and prayers disrupted my sleep, i had a dream about her...weird.

there were 3 of us, me, her, and another female fren. we were walking around when we came to a cafe and sat down. then she went in to place her orders. the female fren then told me that she still thinks about me and told me to check her hp (she left it on the table while she went in to place her orders) if i dint believe her. think there was something in her sms inbox. i "unlocked" her hp but then i decided not to intrude her privacy so i put the phone back down...

then i woke up. damn. really curious to know what happened after that.

not much complains about the next day though...except that i got home at 10+pm. super tired. and i fell asleep twice more while driving. blame it on the mosquitoes and the prayers.

think i've driven about 450 km for the past 2 days.

and i think my dad have to go Muar again in Feb....damn....please.....let my brother(s) be free....i dun wana stay overnight again.....
