Rusty Fingers

Damn it. I have that thing where I feel like I have too much to write about, but I don't know where to start. How lah, bro?

Let's start by laying out the outline. My family from Alor Star and Gombak came over on the 27th of May, went to Port Dickson on the 28th, came back the next day, went to Cameron on the 31st, came back last Saturday. By the way, Port Dickson and Cameron was niiiiice.

My dad rented the company bungalow at Port Dickson so we got a pretty good deal. The bungalow had 4 rooms, so nobody had to squeeze in even though there was around 15 of us. We had a barbecue, played darts and pingpong, and had fun in the water. The bungalow rental even came with a butler, and he took care of all of the food. He's a pretty good cook, I can tell you that. The best part about the trip? I drove all the way from Shah Alam to Port Dickson and back. My first long distance drive in Malaysia.

So how was Cameron? Surprisingly cold. Reminded me of walking at night during summer break when I was a freshman. Took a lot of pictures with flowers, tea leaves, and I even had tea and scones. Felt English for a good 15 minutes. Food and souvenirs weren't that expensive, but I don't think that I'll be going back for a long time. I seriously don't like the ride. The roads were small and had killer curves.

Fadhlin, my nephew, was unexpectedly attached to me during the Cameron trip. He kept on calling for his Mamu(that's me) and starts crying everytime I'm out of his sight. My only break from him was when he slept. I'm not complaining. I've never had a kid so attached to me like that. Will my kid be like that? It's both flattering and flattening at the same time. Plus, it doesn't hurt that he's cute and I like babies/kids.

It's confirmed! My basketball tourney's been moved to this Saturday(9th June) from 9am to 2pm at KDU. I'll be playing with Saku and Mislan. Saku's a schoolmate of mine during my Projek days while Mislan's an all-ATU reject just like me, so both of the guys aren't total strangers. Saku's got the body of an undersized Power Forward. He doesn't post-up that much but he tends to hang around the elbows of the free throw line. Mislan's a typical swingman. He can bring up the ball if he needs to, got a decent shooting touch and killer athletic abilities. Since both guys are UiTM players, and I'm a pretty decent player myself, we're gonna tapau the tourney this Saturday. The only thing we have to think about now is transport, a team name and color. Come watch!

June 9th, Auditorium of KDU, 9am to 2pm.

P/s: I'm thinking of putting up some pictures from the trip but I have to carefully select the pictures because I don't want to give my identity away(ala Spiderman, hahaha).
