okok.enough of the lamenting. time to talk about todae.
day started at like.super early.7 am.had brekky with the birthday
boy man cus thats his tradition.no complains there. brekky was sasuages. beef patty, fried egg and toast with orange juice (the juice and bread seperately, of course). my aunt made his lunch, and brekky, and his lunch was lik.noodles with a chicken steak and sausage. he so loved it la.
after he left, i wanted to head off but then my aunty reminded me that the shops not open so early.silly me.why didnt i think of that?haha.so took a nap till 11 then left at 1130.had to wake up my aunt cus she wanted to go to the town as well.so yea lo.she had to open the door for me. left for qv after that. walk half way the bus come.didnt wanna run.so waited at the stop.bad idea.it was like.above the river? so when the winds blew, dang was it cold. tot it would be like 20 mins before the next one comes but thank God, it took onli 10 mins.so yea.headed down to the market.
