it's past noon and i still haven't showered. not a healty practise. i woke up late today. it's too be expected i guess, we were out till one in the morning.
being out at the esplanade by the charles river at night is not a good idea, as my friends and i realized last night. it was very quiet there, and other than us fools who had nothing better to do, there were only homeless persons who were spending the night there. it was definitely unsafe, even with the guys.
a few people have commented on my (bad command of) english after my trip home. so what? as if it had ever been perfect.
went shopping all the way in natick with huma. i bought another pair of shoes (inexpensive, of course), a really nice (not to mention pretty expensive) purple shirt and a pair of black pants. we each wanted to buy a fish (and see whose dies first), but they don't come cheap at natick mall.
some people might get headaches when they come into my room. the songs playing on my computer change from hindi-malay-english-arabic-urdu-japanese. i like to think that it's good for my brain to get used to the different sounds.
i already registered for my hindi/urdu class and i'm thinking whether or not i should do epiic this year. the topic is pretty interesting; united states' role in the world. it's a really demanding course though, and it's for one whole year. i have to think more about it. i need to pull my grades up and epiic is no easy feat.
abang nazlen had just come to pick up his batik shirt. we talked about abang sabri's condition and it sounds pretty bad. his lungs, heart and kidneys, none are functioning as they should anymore. the malaysian boston is having a solat hajat for him tomorrow. let's all pray that he'll get better and that both him and kak tini will be strong through all this.
apparently the consulate general of malaysia in new york is having a merdeka day celebration this sunday. it's an open to all event. i'm thinking of going, if paddy says yes, then i'm all set to go.
glad to be back in boston. i'm all settled now in my cozy little room. i've never really decorated my room before, so this is my first time to trying to make my room looks more inhabitable. i am mighty glad to have my computer back. d had just brought it back today. feels really nice to be typing using a familiar keyboard and looking at a familiar screen. only four people have moved into the muslim unit. we're still waiting for four more people to come in. nida was just saying how we need to go grocery shopping as soon as we possibly can. apparently, she's been surviving on fruit and yogurt. i'm no more lucky than her i guess, i'm also on a sugar-based diet for the time being. might be good in a way, i'm trying to lose all the pounds i've gained while i was at home.
banyak berangan pon kerja tak menjadi jugak. dah nak balik pon, tapi ada jugak benda2 yang tak sempat atau tak menjadi nak dibuat. tapi sekurang2 nya, pantai dah pergi, baju dah buat, kereta dah bawak, gigi dah buang, doktor dah jumpa, gambar dah ambik, sekolah dah pergi, anak pak yem dah tengok dan makan pon dah banyak.
tapi agak kecewa lah jugak tak sempat jumpa pak yem. rindu lah. auntie jemput pergi pantai dengan dia pon tak sempat pergi. haji sidek pon tak jumpa. nak gi jumpa kak nik di penang pon tak dapat. anak kak da tak tengok lagi. kak pah tak jumpa lagi. susah jugak keluarga besar, nak jumpa semua orang tak sempat. dah lah depa nih duduk bersepah2. kalu duduk setempat tuh, senang lah sikit.
hari nih kerja mengemaskinikan email, bukan email sendiri saja, bahkan email msat sekali. masya-Allah, berlambak2. habis separuh hari jugak.
sambil2 tuh, duduk la menyemak bil2 apa lagi yang nak kena bayar. tipis sudah kocekku. nak gi isna pon bayar $80+. minta2 jadi lah kanak2 nih pergi dengan kereta, jimat la sikit belanja. lagi pon lebih seronok. tapi kalau balik nih usman dah tak ada, rasa la kekurangan sikit. dia tuh buat teman berjalan best.
diah dah cakap dah hari tuh, dia pon dah nekad nak sambung phd terus. alhamdulillah lah jugak. sampai grad nanti ada jugak yang boleh dijadikan teman. risau jugak memikirkan kalau depa semua balik tempat asal, tinggalkan kita sendiri. yelah, nak buat kawan tuh bukan senang. nak hidup sendiri pon bukan senang.
