Things in a day

Morning I wake up at 6:30am but just transfer from outside to inside bed. Very difficult to stand up. Still feel tired from yesterdays chores. Anyway, I officially take bath at 7:00am after seeing the clock in the bedroom not setting correctly: it says 7:12am. What ever!
Rush to take Uthman to school with H to accompany me. I went to the toilet for the second time before dashing out to beat the traffic. Get to see Uthman's teacher at school before we hit to the road again. Pass the Nilai toll booth at 8:35 and then get a nice taste of nasi lemak ado power at Nilai Arah utara rest area. This is my favorite spot. Once a week, I take my schedule out to get this dish.
We arrived Jaya Jusco Wangsa Maju aka Alpha Angle at 8minutes before 10am. We bought couple of clothings for Uthman and Rasyidah for Hari Raya. Luckily, we get Uthman's longsleeve and pants for tomorrow graduation photo shot.
Try to get lunch at Ami Man's place at Melawati but the shop close.
Anyway, we go back to Salak Tinggi for packings and lunch after that.
Gotta a phone call informed that Is is in HUKM for deangue treatments. I'll pray for his speedy recovery.
Arrived at KLIA at 2:33pm and wrap the bargage and cost me RM14 for 2 bags. I need to carry 36 roles of double sided tape to Iran and my luggage altogether is 41kg. Need to pay for excess of 10kg means I pay for RM488. Even the tape weighs 23.8kg.
I check in at 2:45pm and boarding at 3:03pm. MH605 flight was Airbus A330-300 and was a full flight to Singapore. Once the plane jerk so hard that I can hear some trays falling down and the facial expression from the steward seem expressionless. I just continuing to read The Star, NST and Berita Harian constantly in hoping that I can ignore what is happenning around me. Luckily this flight has some magazines and I take out Times and Asia Week with me. Arrived in Changi Airport at 4:20pm. Been wandering around the shops and get the internet hook up.
