Selamat Datang!

I’m super dizzy now, so I need to finish this entry quick and then get lots of sleep!

I got out of KUL 8am this morning. My dad was waiting for me in the lobby. I don’t know why, but out of my control, I hugged him and started to cry. We directly headed to the Chinese breakfast place to have ‘yumcha’. Woo.. I haven’t had it for a year. My stomach was so happy ^^.
It took me several seconds to figure out where the 9th floor button was located on the elevator of our apartment. I’ve totally forgotten it. After dropping me off, Dad soon left to his working site. I took a shower and stole a beer from the refrigerator . >.< . Then, dad came back again to take me to the site with him. On the way, he told me some progress about this project and some important people who he’s directly working with. Today was a big day because all his contractors and suppliers were waiting for their payments. There were lots of checks and cash needed to be sent out. So my job was to record each check number onto the payment sheet and when the suppliers came, I need to let them sign the sheet and leave their ID info on it as well. Dad said next week he’ll show me around the site. So I maybe I can wear the robber boots and safety hat! Ha…I always want to do that~ I saw the blue prints for the project this afternoon. Hoo,.. the military people have nice houses! The semi-attached houses have 2,500 sqft each.. eehhh..

But I learn some terrible news from the working site. One of the Indonesian workers has just died not too far away from campus. He was trying to pump air into a truck’s wheel (while he’s not experienced and trained to do that). He didn’t notice the tired is already full and it’s putting more and more pressure on the metal ring inside the weal. Finally, the metal ring broke and hit him right into the head. His blood and brain was splashed everywhere. He died in the hospital few hours later.

My mom is coming to KL tomorrow. I don’t know if I’m really ready for this. I don’t want any fight or quarreling in this house, at least not for right now. I tried to convince myself that everything is going to be fine. But, who knows…

I got a present from one of my dad’s co-worker at the dinner tonight. It’s a white gold necklace with a cross on it. I was actually thinking about a necklace like that few days earlier because my dad said he will buy me a present and I get to choose it. So.. now I need to think about something else. I don’t really need anything though... That necklace was really a surprise for me. But again, I don’t know how my mom will think about it. She might get mad again because my dad’s co-worker (a female) gave me an expensive present. Anyways, I really like that necklace. If she breaks it, I’ll have to break her. >.<

Ok, my piano is arriving tomorrow afternoon. I’m passing out right now.

Good night~

Selamat Pagi,

You could always hide your necklace or mail it to me and I'll keep it for you until you return to the states. Maybe its bad, but I always assume the worst and prepare for it. Then, if the worst happens, I'm ready. If something better happens, no harm done. If something even worse happens that I couldn't think of then at least I can say that I've done all I could do to prepare.

But that's just me. Have you read my blog entry yet? It's quite a story.
