SURPRISE!
Long story short, I told my parents i would be back on the 6th of Nov, when actually i changed my ticket to come back to KK on the 1st of Nov, seeing that our kakak Ludia would be going home for holiday for about 3 weeks. I thought it would be great to surprise my family cos they haven't seen me in awhile but i had the fear of dying on the plane... due to bad piloting, emergency landings...etc... use your imagination. Thank God none of that happened. First, let me explain the details of my plans. There's plan A and plan B.
Plan A: Has would pick me up from the airport at 11.50pm on the night of the 1st. I would stay over at her place til the next day when she would send me home in the morning or the afternoon. Ahad would definitely be home so he would open the gate without letting my mom know it was me. I'd take out my drumsticks and start playing the drums.
Intended result: Everyone would come downstairs to find me and would have the shock of their lives.
Reasons the plan A failed: 1 Has is in the middle of important A-levels, would be inappropriate to disturb her... Yes, i did ask her first.
2 I'm totally sunburnt, MAJORLY sunburnt. Will post pics... I think. Now, after being back for about 3 days, i'm still burnt and the skin hasn't started peeling yet. I try to move but i can't cos the skin is tight. I feel like a sausage with skin that hasn't been peeled off. Plus it hurts like shit. My sisters argue that shit doesn't hurt, but i say it does when you're constipated... (lame joke... I know). Oh, my point is that i can't move much, in between retarded and immobile, so i couldn't really play the drums well. To be frank, I haven't even played on my drumset yet, not in the mood cos of the pain.
Plan B: Uncle Yee would fetch me from the airport at 11.50pm on the night of the 1st, having asked my parents out for drinks or porridge or whatever as usual (yes, my parents are "ye gui" s) {plural}. I would walk in and surprise them... holding food or whatever... like a waitress.
Intended result: My parents would be shocked and dumbfounded, then later would take me home and if my siblings were asleep, i would sleep in my usual spot on the bed and when they wake the next morning, they'd be so surprised.
Result: My parents were shocked and dumbfounded. I have it on video. Hahaha... But only Stef was asleep when i got back, Char and Dougie were watching TV. So i managed to surprise both of them, then the next morning i surprised Stef. Altogether 3 separate parts to my surprise and all a success. Got all of them on video as planned.
Problem: I couldn't get my hugs cos my skin was hurting.
That was just an update.
In Bris the previous day (31st oct), i was in GC, i was there with most of the girls- Yuka, Shai, Su and Sonia. Martha was working and couldn't come. They were gonna stay for 2 nights, but i could only stay the first night, Monday night. They stayed til Tuesday night and checked out the day i left... Wednesday.
But we had loads of fun. We used the gym, swam in the pool, sat in the jacuzzi and later sat in the sauna. And we did all that before dinner... late dinner that is. Another long story short, we made 3 attempts to eat at Hog's Breath, this great steak place, expensive stuff. But all 3 attempts failed. Oh well... I'm not going back there again. Haha... Instead, that night we ate at this amazing Italian place, small restaurant owned and ran by the family, it's called La Rustica, if i remember correctly. We ordered a lot of food and shared, instead of the normal individual order. We had calamari, which was great, seafood pizza, which was great, salad, which was great, king prawns, which were great, penne pasta with some sauce i can't remember, which was great, and another dish which i don't even know what it's called cos shai ordered it, which was great. In summation, the food was great. Go eat there if any of you go to GC. IT'S GREAT!!! Seriously...

Now, an update of what i've done so far. It's been 3 days since i've been back, and i've had satay for dinner, popcorn that i've been craving and i have been using the internet whenever i want, which is a good feeling, didn't have that in Bris, unless i was at Yuka's place. That's bout it for now. Besides that, i've been healing... trying to... With vitamin E skin cream and aloe vera. And my plan was to help my mom out with the housework, but it didn't work cos like i said, i can't move much. Even driving the range rover hurts.
Thanks for reading and thanks for caring!
