What Is Life??

I am at the moment lounging in this strangely inappropriate sluggish / slouchy couch at the lobby of Holiday Villa London. Strangely inappropriate because for one:

(1) It is INCREDIBLY slouchy. I mean, my old couch that my sisters and I finally got rid of about 2 years ago and had been with my family for more than 12 years isn't as sluggish as this.

(2) Its smacked in the middle of a supposedly four star hotel.

Well, external appearance aside, this couch is comfortable enough for me to bum in for at least... *glances at clock on the wall* another hour and a half before my cab to Heathrow arrives.

I honestly never planned on taking a cab straight to Heathrow, but instead, just up till Paddington. And from there I can just take the Paddington Express to Terminal Four. But heck, all that planning is chucked down the drain when (after A LOT of repacking) I just HAD to settle with two check-in luggage.

Truthfully, I can fit everything in that Samsonite of mine, but I fear that history will repeat itself, and the handle of the bag breaks or something. Even though in the past, said luggage was Pierre Cardin, but you just never know. 

PLUS the maximum luggage weight allowed is 20-23 kilos. And I'm hoping MAS's system is similar to that of Egypt Air, where it means 20-23 kilos per LUGGAGE, and not per PERSON. Nyahhhh I sooo do not want to pay fees. Bloody, am so nervous I think I'm getting a headache.

So after the time I checked out of the hotel (around 11 am), I had (still have, honestly) about 8-9 hours before I can check in at the airport for my flight at 10 pm. I honestly do not know what I am supposed to do during that time wehhh.

At first I thought: Shopping. But then: 

"Okay Wowo kau tak habis-habis lagi ke nak habiskan duit mak bapak kau."

Plus: "Okay kalau beli barang nanti kena repack balik. jywefuhfkufb NEVER AGAIN. IDUNWANNA."

So I thought: What about a movie? It kills just about enough time! 

I went ahead and checked to see what movie was available, and wanted to watch The Green Hornet (SETH ROGEN!! *fangirl scream*). But the only showtime available was at 5 PM. Kenot already.

Then: TADAHHHH! Blue *friggin* Valentine is showing at Odeon @ Covent Garden. IDC if its far. Its perfect. I've been wanting to watch it for quite some time now and the next showing was 12.35 o'clock (which is just enough time for me to get my ass down there AND it has to be finished by 3 pm so I can return to the hotel RIGHT ON TIME before my cab arrives).

The only thing in the way of that supposedly perfect plan of mine was: THE THEATRE BEING CLOSED.

WTF. -____-"

I spent about 30 minutes JUST to FIND IT. And its closed. So bloody sedih, so I headed to the nearest Pret A Manger to have breakfast. A late one. Okay, dah kira lunch laaaa coz I was hungry, and I hadn't had breakfast yet.

Spent a good one hour there eating this yummy yogurt concoction that I took a picture with my phone but I am not able to show you right away coz the USB cable is inside my luggage, drink a scrumptious bottle of blueberry yogurt drink, and taking 5 bites of the chilli crayfish sandwich-y wrap thingy. I honestly did NOT know what a crayfish is la weh. All I thought was:

CrayFISH. What else could it beeee, riggghttt?

Well, turns out that, THIS is what crayfish really is:

A type of crustacean.

Please tell me that this is new information to you as well, so that I feel less like an idiot who dared to even dream of becoming a marine biologist once upon a midnight dreary.

Sooo it didn't taste quite like I expected it (should've listened to my gut and go ahead with a simple egg / tuna sandwich GAHHH), so it is right now, in my bag. I don't know what will become of it in the future. But yeahh. Right now, its in my backpack. Probably being squished by all the items I have in there.

2 notebooks, a hair comb, a bottle of water, 2 phones, a gigantical purse filled with coins (that I really should spend coz I can't exchange them but I don't know what to buy), et cetera.

But then I got SLEEPY. I know right?? Trust ME to get SLEEPY at a cafe FULL of people (I had a seat by the glass window, also! So people outside can see me. FAILFAILFAIL). So I eventually gave up on continuing Ben Okri there, packed up... and here I ammmm.

ANOTHER HOUR TILL THE CAB ARRIVES.

Before I leave you, I want to mention that BEN OKRI IS SOME COMPLICATED SH*T. I mean, I'm loving The Famished Road. BUT, dude, I have to repeat a page a couple of times before I can REALLY imagine everything thats going on. 

Had such little progress ever since I started reading it wehh. But I shall be patient... and finish it. And be satisfied with myself.

Then... I'm going to have to buy the next 2 sequels coz the book is A TRILOGY.

FML.

Buh-bye.
