island tales #62

The Ostrich has landed!

hehe. for me (personal opinion, your experiences may vary), when you're in a medium distance relationship (is there such a thing?? i consider mine medium distance anyway), no matter how many hiccups or problems there was, there's ALWAYS that Perfect Moment when you get to meet again after a long time apart. :)

there's nothing quite like waiting at the airport arrival hall, nose pressed against the glass, scanning the people inside, looking patiently for my own carrot-coloured ostrich.

nor is there anything quite like finally spotting her, breaking into a big smile, then being able to play the "Hi I Am Your Macho Boyfriend" role by carrying her big bags to the car.

and nothing really compares to quietly laughing at her silliness, occasionally squeaky voice, or the greedy little look she has when she gets her cheesecake and chocolate.

or the silent pride of listening to her piano playing, the astonishment at her limitless patience when surfing the net to read blogs and fan fiction, and the irony of her total impatience when playing sims 2 on my new comp.

we got lost looking for her friend's place, yet it was the most fun getting-lost-adventure i ever had. haha. big thanks to chen for accompanying me.. else i would have ended up elsewhere on the island on the way back! and big thanks to mum&dad for worrying, but things turned out ok. ;)

came to work in a mini-storm, my favourite kind of weather. there was the usual bunch of crazy drivers doing in excess of 100km/h, hazard lights blinking furiously, weaving in and out of traffic in the blinding rain and cutting on the left AND right, but hey, this is penang, after all. hehe.

current mood: excellent. :)
