trip to philly

hey my faithful journal.
finished 'nights in rodanthe' - nicholas sparks. a romance novel. i think my first romance novel. dont usually read romance cos its just so unrealistic. especially for a person like me, cos im a bit pessimistic about this stuff. but i guess once in a while its okayla. its a sad story. someone dies. i actually teared at a part of the book. i know, stupid me. nicholas sparks is an awesome writer.

We started our trip to philly yesterday morning around 10 am and arrived at Aunty L's house at around 2pm. Then, Uncle F (i dunno why im calling him uncle, he's only 12 years or so older than me) came around 230pm. so, we had our lunch at around 3. mom made nasi lemak, just a simple malay food specially made for the malays. Uncle F and Aunty L in this case i guess, cos we're used to nasi lemak. so, makan-makan. i talked to V for a while. V is mom and dads RA and a friend of mine. he arrived in philly from Malaysia on the 28th and Aunty L and Uncle D were really nice enough to let him stay at their house. their goin to malaysia on wednesay so their leaving the house to V. people here are so freaken nicela.
anyway, after lunch, the 'adults' talked..yada yada..uncle D put on pirates of the caribbean, and how cool, just adds to the 'list of johnny depp movies that needs to be watched' which i plan to complete. so, watched that, for the second time. but i still like it. tried to play nintendo with A, but i suck, seriously suck. i can play Playstation but not nintendo. weird huh? or maybe it was just the games..their a bit too, hmm..whats the word? animated?
After all that, around 7pm, we went around philly - UPENN. V was gonna have a seminar there, so we took him around. Uncle F kinda was the 'tourguide'..haha. took some pics here and there, went to the bookstore, went to the clothes souvenir shop but tutup, got a drink, took some more pics - at the big broken button. i had a pic at the big broken button when i was younger. dunno why its there or what its suppose to represent, but we still took pictures.
we then got back home at around 930pm. uncle F brought out his pillow (utecay ikelay ellhay..! utshay upay arahsay!!) we were all spendin the night at Aunty L's place. (evenay uncleay Fay..owhay oolcay isay atthay?? anmay..iay amay atheticpay huh?) we girls got the room. the guys tido kat bawah.
today, went to the mall. V stayed home and kinda babysat for A. haha. so it was us, Aunty L and Uncle D and Uncle F (i gotta stop callin him that..its soo WEIRD!) destination - king of prussia. now this mall aint no Jaya Juso at taman U. its majorly huge! 4 floors, about 150 shops on each including JCPenneys, Macys. Strawbridges and whatever shit. F, ma and abah and me and keen split up. me and keen checked out some clothes. i tried on things i would never wear in public, which i do not need to go in further detail. but, oddly, me and keen didnt buy anything. we had 20 bux each. i couldve settled for the $18 blouse which looked awesome, but i decided to save the money. crazy me. shouldve just bought it! dont u ever wish u were rich? or maybe even..royalty?? then ud be FILTHY rich. like the royalties in malaysia who take our parents money and spend it in places like...hmm..USA! woops..too far off there.
we were off for about 2 hours. then ma told us to meet back up. hate goin to the mall and not getting to see everything. its like finding a dollar bill on the road and not takin it - only far worse. im hopin we'll go there again. V will be watching Aunty L's house, so, we can always drop by there while at philly. we then took off to state college right after that. with nothing from the mall (me and keenla..parents bought some stuff). i hate it. why do i have to be so nice? i feel so guilty asking for extra cash. why cant i just go all bratty and ask for more? haha...what a STUPID thought. well, i couldve if i worked, its just that i found out i need a permit and all that shit cos im under 18. amenda ntah.
so now we're back at BCD. it was a fun weekend. i cant really specify which part of it was fun; Aunty L whose so friendly, A. whose so adorable, the house which seems so homey, F who was there and lookin all cute, V - a friend from malaysia, ritas waterice, family, malls, childhood parks, muslim community, yeah....maybe it was all that. man, i love it here. i dont wanna go back. at least not within this month.
