A weekend of joys and tears

On the plane back to Bintulu


In the cab , on the way back to Shah Alam

Hooray!! I've just finished my exams last Thursday and that was the beginning of an exciting weekend!!!
Celese, my cousin was coming to KL that night. It was 8 hours after a long flight from Sydney to surprise her two sisters who were already arrived at Bintulu the day before with their dad, Wayne. She stayed overnight at my place in Shah Alam and the next day, the plan was sending her to the LCCT airport and I'll be taking bus to KL Sentral, to get a train to Seremban.

Me myself had another plan with my friends to go to Port Dickson to enjoy the beach but........






HOWEVER...







the plan was turned into a trip back to Sarawak with my cousin!!! It started as we chatted and saying," Oh..I wish you will coming back with me. We can spend sometime together and meet our families".. and I said " I can't afford to do that unless somebody's paying for the ticket", then she answered, " Oh, yeah..I can buy one. "

And I was, " Oh, that's impossible. By this time, there should be no seats to Bintulu. It's nearly 11.30 am and the flight is on 1.40pm."

" There's no harm if you ask them. We can try", she replied. That's how the story goes and we went to the counter and wait for about 15 to 20 minutes and buy one ticket at price of RM 483.50.
I kept on saying, " This is crazy, Celese! This is crazy!" and she goes like, "Believe it! This is for real!! We can surprise your mum too."

We were excited to get both our parents and our siblings to be surprised and as we arrived at the Bintulu airport our family were waiting at the lobby. One of the surprise working as Renee and Jennifer were crying the moment they saw Celese. As for me, my surprise wasn't because it was spilled out and mummy accidentally know about it from Farhah. She keep on calling me and couldn't reach me, alternatively she will call Farhah to make sure that I'm with her. Silly me, I should have told Farhah the white lie and zip the secret. If not because I'm running out of my airtime, mummy will be SHOCK to hear I'm back!!
I was planning to tell her don't contact me because my phone battery was low and I'll be late to Seremban as the train will arrive late but I just can't do that because I don't have money to top up!!!!!!!

But at least, I'm home and be able to spend some little time with my families and our long lost cousins.

For Celese, I want you to know that I really enjoy the weekend and really thankful for the precious 5 days. Yesterday morning I bid her goodbye before she fly back to London in the arms of Gavin, her husband to continue their journey to Latvia, Russia after a few weeks.

But I feel bad at the same time coz I have forgotten my friends in Seremban. I'm so sorry girls. We will plan another trip and I won't ruin our plan again especially the plan to stay at Lieza's place.
