I read my weekly Economist headlines that Harold Pinter was the recipient of this year's Nobel prize for literature. Eew, that's so gross. I had to study his plays for A-levels, and I didn't think they were anything special. I can't believe he won.
I also read in the news that Orhan Pamuk is going to be tried for "allegedly insulint Turkey about its relationship with Armenia and Kurds." I really like Orhan Pamuk. I hope they don't put him in jail. He was also in the running for the Nobel prize for lit.

My Anniversary
Yesterday was my 2nd Anniversary, and we had dinner at this little Italian restaurant in Puchong. Near my house. It's got really good lasagne, I tried it yesterday. The portion was huge for the price I paid (only RM 13.90). I couldn't finish it. Pizza Uno has a beef lasagne, tiny one for about the same price I think, but this one is much much better. Go try it if you're in the area, the restaurant is called Little Italy. It's got nice decor too.
We had our usual table by the window. I brought the kurma from home wrapped up in cling wrap, and we broke our fast eating them with our drinks. It was a nice dinner. My sayang was so tired afterwards (tired from eating too much I guess), he took a nap straight away, and I watched One Tree Hill on tv.
It was this episode where they had that charity drive thing, and the guys were on auction. And the ex's auctioned for each other. And I was just thinking how weird it was that I was having that type of relationship with my friends in high school, and now I don't have that type of thing going at all. I mean like as in being really open with your ex's, and how a circle of friends would date each other's ex-gf/bf and we wouldn't think much of it. How we would hug and kiss each other hello and good-bye. It didn't matter if someone else hugged my bf or whatever. It's just tradition and there's no emotion involved in it.
I asked my bf why Malaysians don't do that type of thing, and he said cos Malaysians have a jealous nature. I thought about it, and I think yeah.

Back to the usual
Nothing exciting is happening in my life right now. Boring. The only thing I did yesterday was out of the ordinary was go to KLIA after work to pick up my flight ticket and process my visa at the MAS ticketing office. Why'd I go all the way there? Well because on the website it said that particular ticket office will be open till midnight.
I went all the way there, but I still couldn't pick up my ticket anyway because it seems someone has not paid for it yet... that someone being my dad. So they said I can pick it up after the 15th or right before my flight. Okay then. But I did my visa anyway, so the trip wasn't all wasted.
Btw, I'm going to Australia for Raya. To be with my family since they live there. Back to the usual routine then. I've only managed to celebrate Hari Raya in Malaysia these last two years and when I lived in Singapore. When we were in Spore it was easy, cos my grandma's house was only 3 hours away using the Tuas highway to get across. So we'd spend half of the first day of Raya in Singapore and the rest of the day in kampung. All the other Raya's I was somewhere else.
I have no idea what my aunts & uncles and cousins and stuff think of me. They must hate me for not wanting to go back to kampung for raya. Oh well, I'll just have to call my grandma and tell her. I hate talking to my grandma though. One of those things I can't explain. She's just a really negative person. I hate being aroung negative ppl.
