Kembang~

Was praised early this morning.
im feeling so happy for the beginning of the day.
Dragged by mum to go jogging,
i didnt want to go because i heard some thunder storm,
but mum insisted to go because she said the sky is still so bright.
no choice lor. Reached TTDI about 7.45am
My usual aerobic is not available due to the fasting month.
but i still did some moves instructed by a old man.
and it began to drizzle after 5 minutes.
Went for breakfast after that and headed home.
It was raining quite heavily.
Did a bit of house chores then went to inspect the silver proton parked next to field.
I open the car's hood and checked the engine oil.
A uncle from the neighbourhood walked by holding ciggars, umbrella and newspaper,
seems like he just had his breakfast nearby.
He asked in mandarin : wao, miss! u checked the car by yourself?
Me: ermm yea...
He: I seldom see girls will do all these. U know how to check or not? (came closer to my car and started pointing with his umbrella)
Me: yea, my dad taught me already.
He: (pointing here and there) u must check this u know? this and this and also this..
Me: .... yea i do really know...
He: I've taught my wife about all these, but she doesnt bother to learn. Its a must for drivers to learn all these. And its great for a girl to do these.
Me: (kembang-ing although i've been doing this ever since i can drive?)

He: So, where are you studying currently?
Me: Taylors College.
He: Study what?
Me:Business.
He: WAO! issit? I have a friend who is a lecturer there. He used to be my classmate.
His name is James Wong.
Me: I think i've heard of the name before.(really)
He: He's conducting business law lecture if im not mistaken.
Me: ...
He then talked about his experience being a degree student back in the 70's.
How the choices of courses are limited etc etc..
looks like this uncle really have too much of free time. Lol~
He then berborak with other people at the field.

At the mean time, i thought to myself,
sometimes its great to have my elder bro here,
(he's at jakarta right now)
he sometimes will offer to wash & clean the car
as well as inspecting the car when necessary.

Now, i have to do all this by myself,
ALL.
including taking care of his beloved wife, the computer.
Some problem occurred with the beloved yesterday,
and i couldnt even get to the welcome screen of Windows.
All it was a black screen with some message on it.
i was panick real panick!
because all my assignments are inside and i couldnt even do anything with it!
i tried switching on and off but it still didnt work!
And thank goodness for the call i made to Jakarta.
Usually we couldnt get through the line, but
somehow yesterday i managed to call bro
amazing.
I yelled over the phone complaining how worried i was.
He then taught me step by step to recover it.
he sounded so calm
fortunately, i overcame it.

He is coming back this friday night!!
Hoorayyy~!!

p/s: i think my lil bro has been reading my blog for quite sometimes. Its quite scary when he found out so many things . Would be changing the url soon.
