It's been a long while since we actually went to Cyberjaya

 Took the kids to the park. I can't think of anything to do that doesn't involve going around crowded places. Travelling is a definite NO coz of the public and school holidays. That's not how we roll. We'd usually wait till everyone is at work and in school and then we'd go on a holiday. Besides, Yusuf has been sick. Ali Imran is coming down with something too. Shu's dad said that maybe it's something that Yusuf picked up in school coz his classmates seem to be sick too. He doesn't have a fever or anything. Yusuf was born with extra sensitive lungs so we are a bit cautious. He's been coughing a lot. No wheezing though. Ali Imran had been sneezing and his nose had been stuffy which irritates him and eventually leads him to cry and gets everything stuffy-er. 

I have allergies. Tell me something new. I realized that I have a bad bruising behind my left knee when I got home from the mall yesterday. WTF?! IT hurts like I hit myself but I am pretty sure I did NOT hit anything.

Anywho, Shu got me one of those hiking 65 litres rucksack backpacks. He said that if we're gonna change how we travel to the island,we're gonna have to pack light. Packing light is NOT something I am good at. This would be interesting considering at how I packed the last time we went to the island. I packed like a dumbass. If there is one thing I did learn from the last trip is that I seriously do NOT need that much makeup. In fact, I don't think I should bother since my skin tone is gonna change so drastically that none of my base makeup is ever gonna match me anyways. I know, petty. I am trying. I really am.

I have also been staying away from frantic phone calls from my family coz I really don't need more drama in my life. I just hope I'll remember Qarim's engagement date. I cannot recall the date right now.........erm.........yeah.......Wait, what was I supposed to bring him again?.............Erm..........I really hope I do not need to buy any clothes for that occasion.

Shu's birthday is around the corner. I am hoping to be able to bake him a cake. I've never tried. Hah!

I cannot get this song out of my head

 


We were in the backseat
Drunk on something stronger than the drinks in the bar
"I rent a place on Cornelia Street"
I say casually in the car
We were a fresh page on the desk
Filling in the blanks as we go
As if the street lights pointed in an arrowhead
Leading us home
And I hope I never lose you, hope it never ends
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again
That's the kind of heartbreak time could never mend
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again
And baby, I get mystified by how this city screams your name
And baby, I'm so terrified of if you ever walk away
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again
Windows swung right open, autumn air
Jacket 'round my shoulders is yours
We bless the rains on Cornelia Street
Memorize the creaks in the floor
Back when we were card sharks, playing games
I thought you were leading me on
I packed my bags, left Cornelia Street
Before you even knew I was gone
But then you called, showed your hand
I turned around before I hit the tunnel
Sat on the roof, you and I
I hope I never lose you, hope it never ends
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again
That's the kind of heartbreak time could never mend
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again
And baby, I get mystified by how this city screams your name (city screams your name)
And baby, I'm so terrified of if you ever walk away
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again
You hold my hand on the street
Walk me back to that apartment
Years ago, we were just inside
Barefoot in the kitchen
Sacred new beginnings
That became my religion, listen
I hope I never lose you
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again
Oh, never again
And baby, I get mystified by how this city screams your name
And baby, I'm so terrified of if you ever walk away
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again
I don't wanna lose you, hope it never ends
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again
I don't wanna lose you, yeah
"I rent a place on Cornelia Street"
I say casually in the car
