morning started REAL bad.
first, abah barged in screaming
'nak ikut tak?'

i think i sorta shook my head.
hello?
it's like SIX AM can

then ibu stood next to me
in a beckoning tone
'kak tak ikut eh?'

alas, finally got my fat butt
outta the fat bed
and got ready

TRUST ME
when you are waiting for a cab
in the darkness of dawn
with FOUR huge luggage

things can get really bitchy
words spewed out can be really nasty

thus i was told to fetch the car
(fammy car's always at gramma's)
and i ran, ok

soon enough
we were on ecp
and the terminal

hasty goodbyes
firm hugs & kisses
final reminders

abah's sorry&iloveyou
left me crying all the way back
_

just as i was about to allow
my ENTIRE morning blow right through me
with gramma

mind you
it was only 7ish

i thought
w...a...i...t...

took that deep breath
istighfar sikit babe
'nenek nak nasi goreng untuk sarapan?'

and so she had fried rice for breakfast
so did my cousins
_

walked back to an empty home
cleared up and really cleared up

the dust, garbage, laundry, pond
(ok i think i was a bimbs doing that part)

and now waiting for my roloffs

very patiently
very zen gituk

ahh yes
..
my morning just got better
_

People are just about as happy
as they make up their minds to be
