KEJUTAN!

so almost a year has passed since my stint in Singapore. i miss it terribly. miss my 2 bedroom apartment...my mini TV and DVD player which was horribly abused...i miss my fridge which was only stocked with apples, ham, ice cream and coke...i miss my bed...i miss my bus rides to work...i miss my kids...i miss the music...i miss the independence...i miss a whole lot of things. but things back here are looking good. i've got a job...i've got my family...i've got my friends...and i guess that's enough to cover all those things that i miss in Singapore.

my brother's birthday is coming soon. last year we had a surprise birthday party for him and i posed a simple question....

WHAT IS SURPRISE IN BAHASA MELAYU???

til this day i don't really know. and i doubt KEJUTAN is the right word. although it was hilarious when my brother walked in the door a year ago and people were shouting KEJUTAN!!! instead of surprise. funny family and friends i have.

this year is his 30th birthday. hopefully we'll usher in his 30's with a BIG BANG!!
