A Glimpse of My Life

Well, I've arrived back to Yangon yesterday. I've been in Jakarta for almost a month, can't believe it... Even though I was staying in the hotel, with full luxury that I don't have in Yangon (room service!!), I was missing Yangon and my family, and was glad to be back home again.

The night before yesterday, I stayed up until 3:00 AM, using the internet, and I woke up late! I only woke up when my co-worker called me, and said, "Hey, are you ready to leave?" I had to prepare extra quick - I only had 15 minutes left! It's a good thing that I've packed my stuff that night! I didn't have time to take a shower, so I just washed my face, and brushed my teeth. I didn't even have time to eat breakfast. The plane was leaving only at 9:10am, but we were preparing to check out of the hotel and go there early (6:30am) just in case there's traffic. It turned out that the roads were really clear, and there was no traffic at all.

When we got to the airport, I repacked one of my duffel bag with plastic, since I recently bought that bag, and it didn't have any locks, so I didn't want to lose anything from there. I've bought a lot of stuff, and it didn't fit in my suitcase anymore, so I had to separate things into that bag. The plane we were going to take from Indonesia to Singapore is Singapore Airlines. We got the middle row.

When we got to Changi, we had 2 hours, so I spent time at the free internet computers, and chatted with a few people online. I also saw a friend of mine who were also going back to Yangon from Singapore. This time, finally, I got the window seat! So I spent most of the time, looking out the window, taking photos of the clouds. It's a bad thing that I got the side where the wing was, so the wing was in the view. I think I fell asleep for awhile too, hugging Leo, my stuffed lion that I bought at Taman Safari. (It didn't fit anywhere anymore, so I just carried in my hand, Chit Thu Wai style :P)

When we got back to Yangon, my mom, my father, and my sis, and my co-workers from the company were waiting for us. My family took my bags, and went home, while me and my co-workers went to YKKO to eat Kyay-oh.. Actually, I only ate "Phat Htote Soup" since I was not feeling that hungry. I just wanted to eat the soup!

My parents were happy with the stuff I bought. They didn't scold me for spending all the money I had there. :P Wheww! But they didn't like the batik I bought for my mom and my cousin.. Oh well, I've already told them that I am a lost cause at choosing batik... :P I don't like batik so I never bother to buy it for myself. I bought some make-up for my sister, and for myself too. And also t-shirts for me, my sis and my brother. I also bought some blouses for my friends Su Yin Mon and Khine Yu Wai, and also some stuff for my co-workers who were left in Yangon.

Today, I spent some time cleaning the house, (ok.. ok.. I only dusted a few places and went to take a nap :P). In the evening, I went to Su Yin Mon's house, and then went to eat Rakhine Moat-te at Min Lan. Wooh.. I've missed the taste of Rakhine Moat-te... :D

Tomorrow, I'll be going back to work again... Argh, will have to take a bus again.. Oh the humanity! When I was in Jakarta, I was picked up at the hotel every morning, and was sent home every evening by a driver. Oh well, back to normal routines.

I feel like I'm missing someone.. :) Though it had only been recently that I've gotten to know him more, I feel like I've known him for a long time. I want to thank him for making me feel special again. I miss the late night chats...

I don't know if this is just over-friendliness, or something more, I'm not sure. But I've learned from my past mistakes to be realistic, so I'll try to be realistic about all of this.
