Home Is Where My Heart Is

My mum woke me up today at 8.40am by sending me an sms...asking me to come online. I shall remind you that it is a Saturday. Hmm...anyways, after that I couldn't go back to sleep. I felt a twinge of homesickness today, I admit. It is my first Saturday living on campus and it is rather boring. I mean yeah, I have work to do and stuff but I miss home (my room!), miss my family, my friends, the mall and Blossom. Gone are the days when I can wake up in the morning, and put my feet down onto solid ground, lumber off to the bathroom and change freely in my room. I miss the family dinners with my parents, bro, Tan family, aunts and Aunty Jude. Something is usually planned during the weekends but now, it's dinner at the cafeteria.

I miss going out to the Mall and mamak with Yvonne. I miss Friday night CG meetings with YT, Hannah, Sarah and Jane, Eugene and Nianci, Ju and Jou. I miss the mamak. Here, we can only hang out at Spike's and Spikes do not offer roti kosong with dhal sambal nor teh o ais limau. Sigh...


I miss Blossom most of all. If I'm stuck at home alone or am up late into the night, she'll be the one who usually keeps me company. Bawl! I miss you piggy!! I wanna cuddle you and kiss you. Sometime earlier this week, my mum told me that Blossom ran away. I felt my heart drop down to my knees. Apparently, she sneaked out of the house because my dad didn't lock the gate and ran around the neighbourhood. My parents went out but when they got back, they found out that she was missing and spent 3 hours looking for her. They asked around and found that my neighbour caught her and got her back. She was so scared when she got home that she hid underneath the couch.

I would absolutely die if anything happened to her. Just trust my dad and bro to leave the doors open around the house. I was so mad that I told them off. Sigh, to make things even more sucky I have very little money at the moment because my ATM/Debit card has not arrived. Meaning, I can't go to the mall. Not only that, I have so little of my stuff over here. I miss all my craft supplies. All my paper, ribbon, stickers and etc. I hate to start all over. Valentine's Day is coming up and the shops are full with all kinds of craft items which I am dying to get but then again, I have no one to give them to. Most of my closest friends are back in Malaysia. Bah!
