Im in new york now and its 8.38am here as i type. In malaysia, its 8.38pm. 12 hours different. And so, try imagine how mixed up my sleeping hours are... well i got up at 5am NY time today, as i slept at 8 last night, too bloody tired.. but, manage to go shopping first, as soon as touched down here.

this is my third time in 2 months going to new york. It seems that during summer, koreans just love to travel around, especially to America. Cos korean air scheduled 2 flights per day to new york and guess what? Every damn flight are full. Oh my god... are they so rich? as they dont travel alone our only couples but families.. some even afford business class for their whole damn family! how rich are they??!

Well, as i know, korea cost of living is high.. i remember my instructor told us once, when we were learning korean numbers, an apartment cost 200, 000, 000 won (bout RM800 000) and its a very small apartment, something like hdb flats in Singapore. But the other day my purser told me, he wanted to get a second home plan in Malaysia but he gave up as kl home is expensive. huh?

i believe korea is more expensive. getting a condo here is maybe rm500, 000? and its CONDO. not hdb. and he said its expensive? hmm... really dunno what are they thinking.. even shopping in klcc is expensive for them, well i couldn't argue that, cos maybe they only walk around the higher floors, they should have gone to concourse level where stuffs are cheaper... than those luxurious brands on the top floor...

oh well.. i guess thats all for now.. will be flying back to korea tonight, so shouldn't waste anytime here... going to whitman's mall, a shopping center 20 mins from this hotel. Though been here 3 times, i never had the chance yet to go to the mall before. The first time, flew with a 9 years senior, and she just refuse to go out, and left me, all alone, not daring to venture out alone. the second time, another senior wanted to go to a warehouse instead, so plans to the mall was canceled. So i must go this time, as since this time im with candice, my "tungi" (same training batch) and i'll not be flying here next month as my schedule said IM GOING LA!! woohoo!! bye!!

I finished reading Harry Potter... finally...

I've finally finish Harry Potter. Phew... I slept at 6.30am just to finish that book! Well.. i dint start early though..

Touched down from Korea at 11.30pm, called my dad, and he said he's just on his way.. (luckily home is just about 45 minutes away) Luckily i haven't reach the immigration yet, so i lingered around those duty free shop, trying to target what am i gonna buy with my next pay..

Dad finally reached at 12.30am, so we reached home at 1+ (am not sure cos dint check the time). Mum and dad retired to sleep as soon as they reached home (they gotta go work tomorrow and mum gotta wake up at 5.30 and get my siblings to school). Whlie i loitered a little, slowly taking my time to unpack the dirty laundries and took a long shower as i hesitated to wash my hair or not at that time, finally washing it cos i've alreay wet half of it and found out im out of conditioner, was going to freak out as i cant call anybody to get me a new one at that time. Then i spotted grams conditioner, which i normally dont use cos she put it high up in the shelf to prevent us from using it, but oh well its emergency now and she's not around to know (she in singapore, my uncle's house), grabbed it and put it on my hair. Smells nice though.. i dont know what brand but it has some milky flavor.

Took around another 30 minute after shower to unpack and dry my hair before starting on the book. (and seriously i still dont know what time is it but i guessed it's around 3am) I kept reading, aiming to finish the whole book at once. Was about at the last chapter where Harry got killed and i heard mum switching the lights and the sound of the kitchen pipe (yes it makes noise) when i check the time, its 5.20am. Quickly and silently (mum will kill me if she knows i haven't sleep at that time), i finish the last chapter before dosing off. Tired, my mind did not even get the chance to dream and the sun light couldn't even wake me as i slept thru till 11am, where mum called me.

Mum "advised" me not to go to KL as i told her i was planning to go and meet fish, around evening, after her work. So i have to cancel my plan and stay home. Then i dosed off again till 1pm, when daddy called to inform that the mechanic will stop by to bring the car to service, and he's coming back for lunch. Then trying to dosed back off but couldn't anymore.. My eyelids are heavy but my brain's not. hrm...

Waited till daddy reach home with sis then only i get up. Then, mei brought some chocolates and ate it in front of me and i grab a few pieces............ wait.. why am i telling all this, the purpose im blogging now is to talk bout harry.. duuuhhh....

okok... hmm... mayb i read it thru too fast or i was too tired that the story did not excactly absorb into my brains, or i have no feeling, but when Rowling put those characters to death, I did not feel sad, nor cry.. I only felt weirder as she didn't elaborated more on how they died. Even when Fred died, i reread the page again to make sure i did not miss anything, but what i understand was suddenly there's a blast and fred's dead. huh?

Then suddenly, neville got the sword out of the sorting hat, wasnt that sword was taken away by that goblin? someone need to explain this to me... And that kissing path of ron and hermione.. i dont understand, I just couldn't feel the excitement.. mayb its just a kids book, so it cant be in a detailed explaiation...

All i felt was im not sastified with the quick ending. Its like somebody have been bugging rowling to finish up the book asap thus she just simply write one... just to shut that person up.. that's my opinion...

The first blog, and a boring one...

ergh... im so boring here... purposely carry this near 3kg laptop to Korea and paid KRW20000 (rm80) for a supposed better broadband but then today the line sucks! so so SLOW!! ergh...

Its 1am now and im a lil sleepy but i refuse to go sleep now as sleeping now i'll wake up earlier.. im planning to wake up at 12, get ready and check out. Flight home to Kuala Lumpur is 6.30pm but you have to go briefing before that, which is 2 hours before the flight, then travelling there takes time too so briefing at 4pm you'll have to check out and start your journey around 2.30pm.... sigh..

I wish i brought Mei's (my 17 years old sister) Harry Potter.. only if she allows me to.. or i can just take it here without her knowing and when she found out, im already in Korea!! haha.. wish i did that.. Im on kinda the end of the book where the climax is, where Harry's gonna meet that You-Know-Who.. I was still reading while im waiting for dad to get ready and fetch me to airport (with full uniform, bags packed, sitting near the doorside, reading)

and trying to get this blog page straight makes me even madder!! Trying to put that c-box comment thing to my blog post, but somehow i've forgotten how html works thus that comment box is in the middle, instead of at the side bar.. grrrrrr.... managed to fix it at the side once but then itchy hands went to change the templates and it gone all messed up again... grrrr.. then trying to upload some photos from my new 3G Nokia but that dummy bluetooth usb isnt working! need me to re-install la, re-boot la.. and i dint bring the software to do so! ergh.. what a day...

btw.. its fish's 21st birthday today.. my roommate and best friend for the past 3 years.. and cant seems to call her mobile.. think i'll call her once im back home... hmmm.. happy 21st thought fishy.. ;-)
