quote jimmy harris: i'm back in business! =D

yes he is! back in business i mean. what business? that's for me to know and for u not to find out lah :P

PD was fab! it was a very good wkend break with the family. the apartment we stayed in was bad though. please do NOT go to Paradise Lagoon Apartments (beside Corus Paradise Resort - this Corus is heaven compared to the one we stayed at). there were so many flies it's not funny! macam dekat Somalia siot. flies were in our apartment no doubt, on the sand pun ada! in fact, they sort of hang around on the sand in the thousands at this one spot and they looked like one big black "thing" - ewwwwwwww mucho disgusting! jim said they also want to lepak on the beach mah - ya very funny ha-ha. imagine them on u - urrghhh sooooo grosssssss.

but besides that, it was one of the best family get-togethers we've had. we laughed a lot, played with each other, teased one another - it made the old folks happy to see that their children and their spouses are very happy to be with them.. the trip was actually the siblings' birthday present to umi together with a cake, while walid gave her cash. how "romantic" is my father :P

see the photos.

we swam in the beach and the Corus' pool.. no doubt i was the most happening girl there (hehe) with my proper bathing suit on.. others were wearing t-shirts and shorts and tights.. what's the point of swimming in a pool if u're gonna be all covered up? defeats the point if u ask me. however, my (not so very) pious dad scolded me lightly to "tutup aurat" - b.o.r.i.n.g. i said to him - it's a vacation, lighten up (not exactly in those words but to that effect hehe anak kurang hajar a.k.a tak makan saman betul).

and also, gypsie came home with stitches yesterday on her tummy. poor thing was still groggy when we brought her back but she's got the spirit of a midget tiger.. when the anasthetics wore off, she was back on her feet and playing with panda. now gypsie can't be harmed by the many rapists prowling outside our house. hooray to modern medicine!

well anyways, i don't have me a tan but my heart is warmed from the banter with the family. it's so nice to be with people who have the same history as u - u don't have to explain much and they automatically understand. u can be your most disgusting self and they will still accept u no matter what. i was very disgusting by the way - farting here, burping there, and more - but they don't care. and i love them for that :)
