been quite a tiring day. was woken up by dad asking where are my house keys. in a daze i replied that it's in the car, without giving much thought why he asked me that. think about 15 mins later, was woken up by mum to have breakfast or rather brunch...at 11 something. slowly rolled myself out of bed and staggered to the bathroom to wash up and get my arse downstairs for brunch with mum and dad. while eating, that was when i actually found out what exactly was the reason why dad asked me where are my house keys. as usual, dad trying to be mr. fix-it-all superhero, smartly fiddled with the fuses in the car trying to fix the audio player. he nicely left the car keys in the ignition, shut the door and nicely went about removing and inserting all the fuses within the engine compartment. little did he know that he removed the fuse for the alarm system, and when he put it back, the whole car alarm was reset and all doors were locked! *sigh* from there, all solutions were thought of, getting the locksmith to open it (which would cost about RM120 together with other damages), breaking the window (which would cost about RM300 plus). so the final decision was to head back to kl and get the spare keys. man! just within 10 hours since i arrived home in malacca, i've covered more than 300km of travelling. could hardly keep awake throughout the journey. felt bad that dad was doing all the driving. wanted to offer myself to drive, but i guess it wasn't such a good idea with me dozing off intermittenly.
got back from kl around 4pm and rushed off to the accesory shop to get the audio player fixed. thank god the technician said it was fixable with a minimal cost of about RM60. that's not too bad. just needed to leave it with him and come pick it up later today. keeping my fingers cross that the problem would be solved. *pray pray*
anyway, went out for dinner with parents...kind of an informal birthday celebration thing. just a simple dinner. couldn't even decide what to have. ended up driving around town trying to figure out what to have and finally decided on one of these chinese restaurant, "bei zhan". food was alright but was rather disappointed that the steamed cod fish didn't turn out good. had it taken back and thank god they were nice enough to not charge us for it. well, it wasn't our fault that the fish didn't taste fresh and the meat was tough and fishy in taste.
finished dinner and headed home without much pomp or fuss. wished that the whole family: sister, brother, sister-in-law, brother-in-law and nephew could have been there for the dinner. sure miss the family get-together thing. *sigh* never thought i would feel like this......... :-S
