I had an upset stomach today. I think it's all the pastries, over-cooked mushrooms and muruku I have been indiscriminately nom-ing. Also, I'm beginning to feel Chinese New Year's aren't as fun as they used to be. I remember: when I was between thirteen and sixteen, we'd also bring a PS2 or Xbox up to Melaka and spend the evenings completing some wicked-ass RPG like Final Fantasy (pirated version, with more chicks). And we'd play with sparklers and fireworks waay into the wee hours of the morning. I think we had more relatives in Melaka too; nowadays, it's becoming more difficult to find jobs and a good life in Malaysia and many of us have re-located to Singapore, Australia and New Zealand. Some of my favourite grand-aunts and uncles have passed away too. (Bless them.) Jonker Street is full of tourists, there is no more Alley Chendol, etc. No one heads to Melaka Raya anymore, because of the jams. We don't take the Lantern Drive.
And I'm coming "home" tomorrow, wherever that is. To too much work, and no belated date (!!!). Heh.
Note to self: Rent more Skins, make better Youtube/iTunes playlists for writing and get less cartigan-dependent clothes.
