Day #2 Without Mom AND DAD

I can't believe I'm writing only 'without Mom' instead of 'without mom and dad'. Dad must feel very neglected. Sorry, Dad.

So anyways, today I went to the soup kitchen with S and Mar and Ra. I served milk. Everything was awkward.

Everything is deathfully BORING without mom/dad. Like boringer than usual. aghhhhh


Mar is emailing me. My birthday is on Tuesday.

Day #1 Without Mom

Got up at 3 to say bye to Mom. Went to Farmer's Market at 7. Came back, ate lunch,went to masjid, came back, prayed.


I feel so useless.


I can't believe Mom and Dad are gone. It's just..I can't believe it.

BADAN BESAR?! O_O

Today was the last day of walking with Mom. It was planned she was to go with us all, but H didn't want to come. When we got back, Mom called her dad who is called Atok. Ah-took. Okay. Well, I had class while she did that. Then Mom had a class. Then it was lunchtime. Then H went to Joomah. Then we video chatted with Grandma. and Grandma said my badan was besar. How offensive.

Lailahaillallah

Listening to Silent Sunlight right now whilst drinking cold raw milk fresh from the cow and a flamin' hot mug brownie. Mom and Dad and both dear little brothers are at the store. Any teenager's dream, right? Well, not really. People may think being alone at home with Wi-Fi and food is the best thing, but actually I don't think so. I like socializing more than I like the Wi-Fi. Because sometimes when I'm done using the computer I just go and walk away, but then I'm like, hmm, what to do? S ain't gonna talk to me, so...and then I just go back to the computer and feel so awful. Anyway...wow, I haven't listened to songs in a long time. Pretty harmonic. ^^

Might as well go do some exercise by dancing.

Are You Ready?

Mom and Dad got the Visa yesterday. They are going to leave on Saturday in the early morning at 3. Kak Nora is gonna stay with us.

Since September 22nd, the first day of fall, everything has gotten much colder and again, my toes are ice-cold.

Last night we all had dinner at Auntie Sal's house. We ate tomyam. Tomyam is the best Malaysian food in the world. I had a full bowl of just the soup and it was so delicious. S made me laugh so hard last night.

And blah.

Brutal Killings

Why am I only doing one post per day now? It's dull for you guys isn't it? Yeah, well, there isn't--okay, there IS some stuff to blog about...gimme a moment, bros.

Well this morning I went walking with Mom 'rounda town with Z. It was pretty cold when we passed the school and all that but then it got warmer. We saw two cats. One was dark tabby with a white muzzle and underbelly (oo I just killed a mosquito) and the other was a whitish cat with a nice striped tail. I didn't see its face but it looked really nice. Kinda looked like a Snowshoe cat mixed up with a Balinese and Javanese. Ummi was scared of all the barking dogs and I was like, "Why can't these people just keep cats? They'd make no sound at all!" But of course everyone loves dogs and I don't know why, really.

Mom said she was going to get the visa tomorrow iA. And she might be leaving on Friday. So yeah.
Mom gave us hijabs that she didn't want, and they both go beautifully with something I wanna wear for Eid. Yeah man.

Okay, bye.

GoTong RowYong

Today was the last day of tennis before Mom and Dad go to Hosh, inshelleh. In kes yu dun't knoo wert Hosh is or yu dun't berly unnerstin' dis sennence, ah shud stahp the gangstah lanwidge.

(Translation: In case you don't know what Hajj is or you don't barely understand this sentence, I should stop the gangster language.)

So I made the pro team again today (jk) by hitting the ball ever so very stylishly that even Dad couldn't help copying me. A random kid scootered around the court and came in the other court too. I felt like smacking him.

When we got home we gotong royonged. That means everyone pitching in to help do something, like cleaning. We gotong royonged the house, because if Mom and Dad were going to Hosh, then people would come and stay with us. And Mom is very particular about people coming to our house and using the bathroom, because she's very superior about her bathroom and thinks it's cleaner than ours because she's an adult.

Blue

Today I went to the farmer's market with Mom and Dad and Z. Z got lost and he cried. Dad was mad. I bought blue cotton candy. Then we went to the bank. Mom almost went inside the wrong car. Poor, dear mom. XD XD XD

Last night we were at Albertsons with Kak Nora. Ummi took too long, so Dad and H went to the masjid without us. I was crestfallen. Guess no show 'n tell presentation to my friends. Boohoo...

The reason Mom took years was because she was Hajj shopping. I was grumpy because we missed Isha at the masjid. Ah well...

The halaqa is today. It might be after Asr or the usual, which is after Maghrib. I hope it's after Maghrib. It's just twice the awesomeness.

Schoolkids are strange

I walked with Mom today around the neighborhood and spotted a few cats. The first was white and tabby. The second was a tabby. I think I saw a third but I forgot what it looked like. Some people's lawns were very nice and green and I wanted to jump on them. But the person would probably come out and scream, "GET OFF MY LAWN."

I was holding a banana peel throughout the whole thing. I found no trash can out there, and I really wanted to throw it into some abandoned yard. But I obviously didn't because I'm good. We passed some schoolkids and they stared. "People will think I'm a schoolkid!" I told Mom. So we walked on the other side of the road. Mom said 'morning' to some people, as if they knew her already.

Then, yeah. We got home, ate, and did the day's fill of work. Last night we went swimming. I kind of didn't want to, because no one I knew would be there, but I went anyway. I forgot to bring my swimming card so I had to sign in the sign in sheet. While we watched Dad and bro's swim, these nasty black beetles were trying to get in the pool. H was scared of them. One went up Z's back. When it was our turn to swim, I swum proper laps to the finish and end. I couldn't do a backstroke because the water kept going in my mouth and nose and choked me up.

Red velvet ice cream

I'm pretty happy we bought red velvet ice cream last Friday. H wanted to get Carrot Cake ice cream, but he had already got the Birthday Party flavor and our ice cream limit was 2. H just went along with red velvet and birthday party. Although I just realized that he could have gotten carrot cake, because we've never tried it before, and birthday party was nothing new. Anyway, red velvet ice cream is so good, I hope you buy it. It's probably better than whatever your favorite ice cream flavor is, better even than fudge brownie.

I think I'm making you hungry. Don't go to the kitchen yet - stay for just a bit longer.

So anyway, today I had three classes back to back, with about only a sum of 30 minutes' break. First there was biology class at 8am, then history at 10:30, and lastly literature at 12pm. Tomorrow inschyea'allah, will be full as well. There will be Ancient Egypt class at 11am and interior design class at...I forget. I like the Ancient Egypt class. The teacher is nice and funny, plus her daughter is in the class and she has a cat.

My class on Home2Teach ended yesterday. It'd been going on for 6 weeks. But time, like a noisy speeding motorcycle, passes too quickly.

I finished a lot of work today. My math, my two writing assignments, my three classes, and my essay revisions.

I want more red velvet ice cream now. Birthday party is kinda nasty.
