42 hours

In 42 hours I:

1. Attended my great grand aunt’s funeral
2. Went on a 6 hours bus ride to KL with mom and her friend and a red bag full of kebaya and baju kurung material samples.
3. Visited grand aunt and grand uncle who are staying in front of  KLCC for medical reasons
4. Was forced by grand-aunt to have a complete Minang breakfast -- a plate full of white rice, crispy fried eel in hot green chili and sauté butter prawn in fried red chili
5. Went to survey Jln Kenanga by hopping from one LRT to another and walking up and down countless stairs. Discovered that my ex big boss’s mosque was right infront of Kenanga. And found out that Kenanga is not as busy as I expected and not as tantalizing as Tanah Abang makes me feel
   
6. Came back to KLCC and hailed a taxi for mom and her friend to go to KLIA for their flight back home to Jakarta
7. Had an hour lunch with my ex roommate Ainun. She bought 2 of my items. Thanks for the creamy curry mee lunch!
8. Sat down at a café in KLCC, proof –read a PhD thesis with a mistakenly ordered large cup of cappuccino
9. Took 2 LRT rides to The Mall and met pregnant Yat at her office. A lot of catching up and some business talk. Thanks for the fresh orange juice I desperately need to counterbalance a day’s cholesterol in my system
10. Met with my little sister who left her work for a while and deliver 5kg of Rendang fo me to carry back to our cousin in UUM
11. Sat down, had the right ordered cup of coffee, continued to proof-read the PhD thesis while waiting for my 6 hours ride back home
12. Hopped on the bus and dozed off
13. Reached  UUM by dawn
14. Unpaked and repacked my bag, planning to follow Beloved Other Half to Penang on his study trip with his class but end up in bed most of the day
15. Realized my legs hurt and how exhausted I was …I’m definitly getting old
