So many things has been happening the past week or so. Been so absorbed into the things I was doing that I didn't have to to blog it, thinking, "Later, I'll have more to write anyway..."

But the problem is, when I actually sit down to write about them, its pretty overwhelming. So many things to write about that I don't know where to start.

Anyway, since this blog is pretty much the dumpsite of my memory, this is a brief skeleton of what happened.

Friday, 29th May

Last outing with Iryan before he went back to Malaysia for the summer hols. Damn I miss the guy. We were planning to go to the Hoe and Wetherspoons with Kak Zah and Kak Dila but I decided to follow the guys to Portsmouth instead...

Went over to Blue Door to try the chicken pie that Kak Zah and Kak Dila made. It was yummilicious.

Saturday, 30th May - Portsmouth


Started journey at 4am from Syuck's place in a convoy of 2 cars to pick up Abul's new car. 8 of us went, Abul, Munir, Ajeem and me in one car, Zul, Syucks, Wan, and Mastura in another. I spent most of the 5 hour journey sleeping, despite having Munir singing his heart out and strumming the guitar beside me.

Woke up and found myself in Dorset. Isn't that where Mr Yap's son is? I briefly wondered how he was, and if he's going crazy over Loius Vuitton, since the guy loveslovesloves designer stuff like Gucci, LV, Prada and such the way only a true blue ahbeng can. ^_^

Went to Havant and got Abul's rover, then it was Abul and Munir in the new car, Zul, Syucks, Wan, Mas in another and Ajeem and me in anoher. Damn siao la, went in 2 cars, came back with 3...

We headed to Portsmouth to do some shopping. Oh my god, Starbucks is sight for sore eyes. The whole trip, all of us mengidam Starbucks only. Heh, looks like the poster mermaid of globalisation is pretty much thriving, at least in the hearts of us Malaysians.

Zul, Me, Abul

We later went to the High Street to do even more shopping. I split up with the rest because I wanted to take a look at girley stuff while the guys wanted to look for sunglasses and what not, and Mastura followed them. It was pretty cool exploring the city on my own.

the guys looking terribly bored waiting for us girls

What wasn't too cool was being stalked by some angmoh who at first seemed to just be following me around. At first I thought I was just being perasan, but then after about half an hour or so of seeing the same guy behind my back I kinda freaked, especially when he came up to me and asked me for my number. I quickly muttered something about not having a phone, excused myself, and hid in a changing room for a good 10 minutes. Texted Ajeem about it, but no answer. Damned freaked weii...

Later called Zul to find out where they were and met up with them and had half of Zul's fish and chips cos the shop was already closing. Then headed back to Plymouth. Wanted to go Salisbury to see the stonehenge but then forgot about it. Yeesh.

Journey back was fun. Zul lost his beanie in the process. It literally flew out of the window. Wan overtook them and while passing we laughed and gave them a thumbs up sign to which he stuck his tongue out.

We were ahead of the convoy but realised halfway that we lost them. Called the other cars to find out where they were. Seemed that Abul and Munir suddenly had an idea to wash the car at the carwash. We all looked at each other, incredulous, and if we were in a comic book, a common thought bubble which said "What the fuck!?" would pretty much sum up what we were thinking.

*rolls eyes*

Reached Exeter at about 9pm. Cooked at Zul's and had a pretty darn good meal. Nothing like good homecooked Malaysian food. We were all so tired that we dozed off there and left for Plymouth the next day instead. Should've seen up all spread around Zul's studio apartment, taking up almost any space available. Went back to Plymouth the next day.

Camping in Zul's apartment...

Thats about it lorr... A brief account of what happened. A lot more I'd love to write but no mood. So many insights I had but forgot to document, now I can't remember what they were. -_-
