.:Malaysia Tanahairku:.

AlhamduLilLah, after a 3 hrs and 40 mins flight back with the Boeing 737 (imagine, domestic plane jah...like going from KUL to Johor or Penang), I reached KLIA around 830ish pm. It was darn cold and the plane food sux. I miss the cute Airbus flight attendants [FA](male le of course) to Manila. Tak maknanya balik KUL dgn flight sejuk nak mampos and food taste like plain water and no cute FA to look and make them busy at. Dahla duduk seblah mat saleh tua. Although he was nice enough to offer me chocs but nahhh...i passed. ehehhe sungguh notty aku ini. Lucky I brought along Memoirs of the Geisha (MOTG) novel.

Sorrylah gang, I can't find any time and money to shop around Manila. The farthest that I went was to Robinson Shopping Complex which reminded me of Selayang Mall near my house. kuikuikui. Imagine a shopping complex that dull and seeing blind men playing band inside the mall instead of our commonly seen blind men band along Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman. Ahuh! You know what I mean.

Maybe Robinson was not located at Makati, the *hype* and *happening* town in Manila. You see, where I stayed, Manila Hotel was located at the original Manila City before it expanded into bigger towns. The Metro Manila so-called. Loads of jeepneys and cars around - more chaotic than in KL, maybe because of their left-hand driven cars...God Knows..

Before my Boss and I checked out that day (30th), we were served lunch by the convention organiser. Take a guess of our special menu that day? ahahah i nearly puked my morning breakfast, learning that a big fat juicy grilled pork was serve at the far end of the buffet table. damn! and it was cut to half. shesshhh...i can't stomach a single food, even salads albeit seeing that *philippino's fave dish*. it was served everywhere, even in the baked beans and omellete.

The night before, Mr. Ramonez the Philippine Exporters Assoc. President bought us dinner at the Heritage Hotel. Our dinner room was equipped with a karaoke facility. whoohoo! While waiting for dinner to be served ( Mr. R ordered some fish, veges, soup and err crispy crunchy yummy looking frog legs), the hosts started a few songs, all oldies and then Nigel started with his rendition of Frank Sinatra's My Way. I sang my fave first song, Eternal Flames by the Bangles. And hey! I gain popularity just by singing a simple chords song. The second song was Trisha Yearwood's How do I live.

Back in KL, hoping Neo will be excited to *hear* me but noooooo-oo, he didn't call nor have a courtesy of sms me. Balik dgn hati yang panas membara, aku terus mendapat demam panas. Mebbe becos of Manila's air (oh yeh stokin aku hilang sebelah, aku rasa Filipino suka stokin aku tuh), maybe becos of missing him. Geram laaaaaa....sampai hati dia buat aku demam, kan! Pepehal pun Doktor already gave me two days MC. whoohooo! So i finished up reading MOTG and lazying around. Now hafta be back at the office, to claim my own money in Manila and blog about it. Huh! Tonite hafta perform the Asmaradana and Nazam Berkasih dances pulak for Company dinner. And still no news of Neo, whether or not he's in S'pore or JB or Penang, God Knows...Better aku hoo-haa with friends lagi like dis. ampeh!
