Duty patrol

After almost three months of maintaining long (& clean!) fingernails and after many (god knows how many) many years of avoiding the nail clipper, I clipped my nails tonight. It felt so odd; all this time I was so used to biting it to the core, sometimes until it hurts, and there I was clipping away and shaping it with my nail file. God it feels good to be able to type freely without my (weak!) nails getting in the way hehehe.

I planned on getting a manicure but I just couldn't wait. Besides, I'm leaving for campus tomorrow so that leaves me no time to indulge in any sort of fancy treatment. It's short now, way short, but I like it.

So basically this holiday wasn't quite productive as I had hoped, or planned but then I always fail to follow my plans because I am lazy like that, except for the part where I did a lot of chores despite waking up way pass breakfast and I read a really really good book and I spent time with my family and all that jazz. I planned to exercise you see, but I am lazy and I just couldn't be bothered. Oof and the food, Masya Allah, amazing! I got to eat at Rawsha, Tarbush, Mc Donalds, Nora and of course, at home. I love home-cooked food. And today, I just learned how to make one of my favourite dishes, Ayam Halia. Omnomnomnomnom.

Hi, I'm Alyaa and I love food. I don't think I like to sing as much as I love food. Yes I do.

I played nanny today, driving Mum and the sister around, went to the wet market and bought food (& this time really really paid attention because I'll be going to Pasar Tani from now on since Mum's too tired to walk now that she's almost due with the baby and will be in 'pantang' soon after. I can't believe that I've been going to the market for about...10 years already. How time flies eh.), drove them to the hospital for Amani's check-up with her doctor, drove in circles for a parking spot, went to Jusco to get Izzati's and Amani's school supplies (from stationaries to the clothes and everything) then bought MY own supplies and back again. It has got to be the longest day I've had so far during this holiday.

I should be sleeping right now as I have to wake up early and get my keys at UIA first then come back home as I haven't actually packed yet. I jsut washed the clothes and folded them nicely, but everything else is still sprewn everywhere -- I just need time to find them and find them quick. So yeah, I'll be heading back to my second home tomorrow, possibly settle in in the evening. I look forward to it, simply because I'll get to see my loved ones again -- the whole lot (& this time I get to see friends from CFS, although there is a particular person in mind that I, and we, look forward to see and also see what happens after, heh).

Ooh, and I found out that Aunty Kelly (my neighbour) have/had breast cancer stage 2 and just had it amputated. That's scary, ain't it. It's just came out of nowhere. BAM! Thankfully she's doing good and looks fit. I wish her all the best.

That's about it now. I'm off to bed, it's almost two!

Good night.
