Last Sunday, the wedding of a cousin in Teluk Intan. For reason unknown, or some culture thingy, there's no wedding dinner, but wedding luncheon instead. So, my whole family have to get to Teluk Intan all the way from Klang for it.
The old man is old, and despite his decades long experience as a competent driver, his recent stunts really scares the shit out of me. So I proposed to drive. Damn, why can't I just say I wouldn't go? Then I no need to endure his drive, and no need to drive as well.
I have no problem driving long distance, but driving there and return on the same day, with little rest in the middle is not really a good idea to spend a Sunday. So I take a day of on Monday. I let myself indulged in the Japanese detective manga on Saturday night. By the time I bed, it's already 3 am and we were to start the journey at 7, cause we planned to have breakfast in my mum's hometown - Bidor. Fine.
After three hours of sleep, I'm fresh enough and manage to get there. But things take a some sort of anti-climatic turn. After the breakfast, when we reached my cousin's house, it is just 10 something, and the lunch starts at 1 pm. Three hours, no place to rest. Can't even take a nap on the couch because there's a lot of guest around. Damn...not a Starbuck around, that I know of.
Boring part skipped, after the dinner, journey home. Reach Klang safely at 6. Took a very short and interrupted nap. I was waiting for dinner, wondering where we are going for dinner, but was almost 9 that my brother says he's going to buy some steam buns for the family. Steam bun!? For dinner? Damn! Pissed. I waited for him to get back home, along with his buns for mum and dad, and I head out by myself to have some dried kueh-tiao (variation of char kueh-tiao, done by 'dai-chao' stall instead of char kueh-tiao hawker), take a few puff and felt relatively fresh.
The got home, what watch some black-magic themed Hong-Kong old films with the whole family, except for the sis, ordered to bed early for school. Hmm...apparently black magic theme is just a excuse for exposing skins. Out of 8 titles in the DVD, 7 are considered Category III films. We watch 2 rather slapstick early 80s satire plus social commentary soft core porn black magic films. They are entertaining, providing you don't take it seriously. Just imagine some Scary Movie series, and imagine it is your grandchildren watching them and they have no idea of those classic slasher film the series is parodying...yeah, they will be clueless.
The showings ends around 1 am, still I'm not very tired or sleepy. Got online and the line is not stable...thought of editing a few more photos from TWSY wedding...but the source pictures from my camera is limited and not quite inspiring enough. By the time I decided to sleep, it's already 2 something.
Alas, long sleep, woke up around 11am Monday morning. Dad at home as well, taking leave. Bro is home as well, today his off day. Damn, not Sunday by too many people in the house, and the baby my mum babysitting is here. I don't like this, it feels strange.
I watched Hostel alone in the room...rather disappointed to find that the ending for the DVD is the non-gore ending. The one the guy kidnap the Dutchman's daughter and flee on a train. Diu! Had a few chat online with friends after that, feeling rather tired in this uneventful day, decided to take a nap, around 4 pm something and got up at almost 6. Not a long nap, cause too long it won't be a nap, but it is enough to make me feel fresh. Even now I am fresh. I can't sleep late tonight. If I sleep at 2 my body will expect to up on 10 or 11...and if I up on 7 to work...it will be bad for me.
Damn, tired weeks. Shoulder sore, muscle pain. Think I need some nice massage. Anyone got any recommendation? Do tell. Help.
