I've been going out and about these past few days. Not that I actually minded going out and exploring the outdoors, there's really nothing much to do at home.

During the weekend, I went to this clothes and accessories bazaar at Bangsar. It was actually a bazaar for obsessed online-shoppers [example given : me, Kakcik (she was the one who got me into it!!!)]. It was on for three days but I went on the last two days. Abg Azlan, Kak Lea, and Kakcik brought me to the bazaar. I wasn't expecting to get myself anything, actually. But my prediction became wrong. I ended up with a white formal shirt [which was not my first bargain!!!!]

On day two, I went only with Kakcik. Again, I didn't expect to get anything. But, in the end, I got a green and black checkered boyfriend shirt. The colour really enhances my skin tone.

Yesterday, I was awake as early as 7.30am. I had a good seven hours of sleep, so I guess I can't complain on that. The reason why I was awake so early is because I had to attend a wedding ceremony of a cousin. It's not what you think, the wedding wasn't in the morning. It was in the afternoon.

So I got up (while grumpily groaning to myself) and hit the shower. I was half-awake while I was showering until I nearly ended up using my shampoo to scrub my body. After that, I went to put on my blood red baju kurung, which is my favourite pair.

My appearance made me look . . . older. The blood red cotton of my clothes were dark and bold. The black eyeliner around my eyes made my eyes pop out and the loose bun on my head made me look a few years older. I didn't look like fourteen. But . . . hey, I was grumpy. I didn't really care how I looked like at that time.

I had to sit in the black Ford Escape for nearly an hour and a half to Banting, or whatever that place was called. My parents sat in front while my three sisters and I were cramped at the big space at the back. The chances of me or any of my sisters sitting in a cross-legged position were nil. We were supposed to gather at some villa, and then go to the wedding ceremony with our other relatives together. But, there were some delays.

So we waited for what seemed like hours. I was hungry and sleepy and my stomach was grumbling in protest. Luckily there were things to entertain us while we waited; TV and nasi lemak!

After about two or three hours, my family and I decided to head off to a cafe near the location of the wedding ceremony. My aunt and uncle and their son were there, too. The place we lingered at was called Bakaugruv. It was a very nice place, with a long driveway before you get to the parking lot.

We were greeted by two fishponds as we trotted to the cafe. The sun was up and shining brightly as ever, but luckily there was a shade to protect us. We reached a small bridge overlooking the small lake.

I really like the place. When I went inside the cafe, it didn't feel like a proper cafe at all. In fact, it felt like as if I was in someone else's home. Not the usual brick-wall bungalows, but like a house in the countryside. Everything was made of wood (except for the roof, of course) and it was a really beautiful place. There was a sitting area to read magazines and to watch the TV.

But before we had our drinks, my two sisters and my parents went to see the . . . beach. You wouldn't really call it a beach, we were far off from the coast. We had to walk what felt like a hundred meters to get to the place.

Well, I did enjoy walking to the place. We entered a small forest but the trees were out of our ways. Pokok paya bakau, they call it. We were walking on a stone platform with no railings at either sides, which was downright cool.

So we walked, and walked, and walked. When we reached the place where it was far off from the coast, I was completely breathtaken. We were standing under a quite big gazebo. I could smell the fragrance of the beach; salty air and water. The sounds of the waves from the beach further down the horizon were cooling and relaxing; it actually sounded like a ceiling fan.

When you look out the gazebo, you would've thought that you were actually looking out to the desert. But trust me, it wasn't a desert. The first thing that popped in my mind when I looked out the gazebo was, Wow, this looks like a place from Lion King. It looked like a desert, really.

There were also some old and gray leafless trees. The branches spread out into weird shapes that it looked kinda freaky. To be honest, the clear blue sky didn't really match with the old gray trees. It's like comparing happy and sad.

I found out that the water was just about to head our way, it usually does. And when the water would reach us -- far down below, it doesn't really hit us -- we would actually be walking on the water! I'm not really good at describing these kinds of things. Maybe a picture would represent almost a thousand words on the place. I was completely breathtaken and amazed at the beautiful scenery. It made me want to live in the countryside instead of the badly polluted and busy city.

After that, we had to leave for the ceremony. We found out that we were actually late. The "icing on the cake" was already passed. We got so pissed because nobody came or called to tell us to go to the place already. Undoubtedly, I put on my I-don't-want-to-be-here-cuz-I-hate-this face. The climate was hot, the air was very heavy. Luckily my dad only planned to eat there, have a small conversation, and leave.

I was very tired by the time I finished eating. I wanted to go home, pronto. I was suddenly becoming grumpy. I'd been up since early morning, it was hot, I was very tired and dehydrated, and I wanted to go home. By the time I reached home, I was more than tired.

It's been a packed week. I've had plans to go here and there, run some errands. I had fun, actually. And as for tomorrow, I'm going to get the supplies for school next year; school books and school clothes.

And oh, I so can't wait for Christmas day! I'm going to the zoo with my sisters! Okay, I know I sound so childish by saying that I'm overjoyed to go to the zoo, but hey, I don't get it everyday.

I'm tired. Mentally and physically.
