Deep conversations

The trip to PD was just as I expected it to be but it was good to have a change of scenery. The journey itself was rather interesting, we talked about it - Shafiq, Me, my crazy past with the insolent ex and what had happened. It's weird now that I get to freely talk about Shafiq with her whenever I feel like it or if she asks. I kinda had the feeling that she already knew about us ever since he came to the wedding and how I mention about him in our conversations. Either way, the 'sort-of-secret' is out, heh. I'm pretty amazed that she's so cool about it. This could get some getting use to ;)

As for PD, Ma and I arrived around 8.30am and there was a bit of confusion at first; Ma had mistaken our hotel as Avillion, although the place where we stayed was also called the same, only, Avillion Admiral Cove. Apparently, it seemed that they were of the same company, only different location. I prefer the former. Our room was alright, comtemporary and just fit for two days; I don't think we would've survived another day.



I spent the afternoon wandering in my dreams for a good three hours before joining Ma for a walk at the beach. Being there reminds me how great Andaman is. Speaking of which, we will be going back to Kedah for two days and later stay at Andaman for four nights during the school holidays. It's just super; the food, the scenery, the beach, the sea - pure bliss. It'll be our third stay come 26th. In case you didn't know, The Andaman is located in Langkawi, up North where its sole neighbour is The Datai. Really, you should check it out, The Andaman , it pays to indulge yourself in such luxuries once in a while. It's worth it. As for PD, the sunset was alright, not great but just okay. Oh, and I managed to snap a few photos, none than is good enough to be posted, plus they're pretty much personal ;)



Anyway, back to the story; later last night, we decided to check out the so-called bar. Before we did, we inquired the attendant about it and he informed us that there is a 'live band' playing. Aha, cool, maybe we'd take a quick peek or something. Honestly, I was only keen to access the internet as the bar and restaurant are the only place where Wi-Fi is provided. When we got there, there sure was music alright, only to our surprise it was a one-man show - some middle-aged dude singing with some sort of background music which is so karaoke. So much for 'live band', huh. What a laugh we had. Even worse, the 'live band' was horrible, Simon Cowell would've scorned at his atrocious singing ability. If he even had one. We were there for only a little while as I couldn't stand the horrible music despite finally being able to access the internet, my ears are way too precious for such pollution.



Slept around one and was woken up by my stupid alarm, which I forgot to switch off the other day, at five in the morning. Just what I needed. Ma and I end up watching some silly cheap expressionless movie on the telly, Star Movies more like. Later after breakfast, when she left for her uninspiring, boring seminar, I was left to watch more silly cheap expressionless movies - first a story about some high school kids who married early then one of those heroic type of movie called 'Red Sonja'. If I didn't have Mika to fiddle with I think I would've gone crazy.

Now I'm sitting in the member's lounge with my trustee laptop, a good internet connection and great music. Cheers to that. Surprisingly enough, I can't wait to get home even though it means getting back to cleaning the kitchen and doing the laundry. Oh well, suppose I miss the family :) Home is where the heart is, eh?
