Last weekend was a long weekend for me. Not in the sense that it was deepavali monday, me being jobless at the moment, everyday is saturday. we just had lots of entertaining to do.

org keningau came down, and eventhough my parents have been married for 24 years already, my mother will always be the daughter in law. with the cooking and the cleaning and the making sure that everything is perfect. my father is one from seven adik beradik, and all of them with their children, where one of them is mentally challenged (meaning we had to keep all our knives, and tools and anything he could use to harm himself during his moods). furthermore, we have no live in maid, so i had to chip in more weight.

i also had to run around picking up cousins who wanted to come but had no transport, and you know je lah the public transport di kk nih (if u dont know, its very bad). also it rained the whole time and luckily our patio is covered, so that the bbq session wasnt canceled.

the next day after they all went home ( some by plane to labuan, some by taxi back to keningau, some i had to send back to their college), i had to get ready for my little open house and going away party for the dance group. which turned out to be really fun, that little deepavali gathering.

after the guests went home, we (my mum, dad and I) jumped into the car and drove about half an hour to my uncles for his open house. stayed there an hour, and back to kk, cos i promised that i'd go to the latin night which is held every monday.

latin night on monday is kinda a roaming night where there would be 3 dance instructors, and the ladies that come could take turns dancing with them. there was a misunderstanding that night between 2 ladies, so there was a little fight between them. i was to lazy to get involved, so i ended up dancing to almost every dance! (usually on a normal night, i get to dance to only 6-7 songs. and i only dance swing, salsa, chachacha, reggae and bachata). last night, most of the ladies were outside watching the showdown, so i even got to dance the waltz, and rumba! so much fun!

i wish everyday could be like that, where i wake up in the morning (late), play tennis and go out for lunch. have a short nap with the cats, and dinner with the family. then go out and dance the whole night away. if only life were that simple. as it is, this would be my last week doing such nonsense, as i start working next week. my flight is actually this friday.

i have mixed feelings. i hope i can do the job assigned to me. i hope my manager and colleagues are nice and easy to be with. i hope my housemates are gentle to me and that we wont fight and putus sahabat, them being my friends for more than 10 years.

i would miss my parents, but then, they could come visit, and i'd be but a phone call away. i'd miss the kitties, and really hope they wont miss me too much and get depressed, but hopefully they wont forget me also. dancing i would miss as well but i guess there is also dance studios in penang, but it wouldnt be the same. No more mr sleepyhead.

sigh... a new chapter in life. it is always hard to start filling the blank pages of it, but i guess i'll be ok.
