I'm down with gout.

It's been quite some time ever since I posted here. Currently I'm having my semester break, and this is the second week. To tell you the truth, the holiday mood really got into my head so much, I hadn't been doing anything worthy of retelling here ever since I went back to JB last week.

On second thought....well, never mind. Wait, actually, for this break, I'm going to go for a vacation in Jakarta. Okay, it's not like Jakarta is bad or whatever, but I just didn't feel like going actually.

So how the hell did I end up going anyway? Well, initially, there were only my grandma's younger sister along with her daughter and son who were going, but she asked my mom if she wanted to tag along, and my mom agreed. Apparently, even though they were travelling in a group by a travel agent(POTO Travel and Tours), the four of them which consists of two middle-aged women, a teenage girl and a kindergarten-level kid were not a complete set, so in the end my mom called me to see if I'm interested.

(this conversation occured sometime during the study week, or the week before that...whatever. Not translated to preserve originality and partly due to laziness)

Mom: Hello, Afnan. Ni nak ikut mak gi Jakarta tak ngan Mak Som?

Sodrohu: Hah?

Mom: (Talks more about the details of the vacation...) Abis nanti nak ikut tak?

Sodrohu: mmmm...Nanti la mak call balik esok. Nak pikir dulu la.

In the end, I never gave a single thought about the vacation since after that I went to Kabir's room to play Battlefield 2 and Warhammer40000: Dark Crusade. So, later, when my mom called back, I unwittingly agree to go to Jakarta, just for the sake of not disappointing her.

So here I am, going to a place even when I don't feel like going anywhere, and later going to be the one who ends up carrying all the heavy luggage for everyone.

Well, it's not like it's a bad thing, really. At least, I got to go somewhere, instead of getting stuck at home, getting my feet to hit my dad's furniture all the time....

Well, here's a list of what I've done these past two weeks.

1. Downloading stuff, mainly anime and books. Code Geass, Hellsing OVAs, How to Build Your Own Remote-Controlled Robot...

2. Modifying my Forbidden model. I'll post some pics later.

3. Buying a 40GB external HDD, two 1GB RAMs, a new power source, a 2GB thumbdrive(for my sis) and lots of DVD casings at the recent PC Fair.

4. Going to my dad's finished project, the brand-new-but-already-got-lots-of-scratches-and-nicks-here-and-there Johor Convention Centre. There's a KFC outlet there!

5. Cleaning my front and back yards.

6. Scratching my entire body cuz there were so many damn mosquitoes around.

END!
