Morning Crays

I woke up on a Saturday morning and went back to sleep at 6 because no one sane would be up at 6 unless they're getting ready for work.

Anyway, an hour after I went back to sleep, Dad knocked on my door. In response, I woke up, went to the door and...

"Pack your things. We're going to Batam."

-

I sat on the bed, staring at the wall as if trying to make sure whether what I just heard is real or not. At first, I thought it was a dream and usually when I think I dream, I'd jump high in the air to see if I can fly. And at the moment, I thought of jumping off the stairs but I was too tired to do that.

So, I thank God for saving me from committing suicide.

-

"WTF is Batam?" I asked in annoyance.

"It's someplace in Indonesia."

-

And yes, I went to Batam. Two days and one night only.

Legoland

I went to Legoland yesterday. The rides were super-awesome and I just love the acceleration and especially when I was on the roller-coaster and we fell.

Not as good as Universal Studios, though. But, oh well, they tried and it's good even for starters.

Again, the rides were super-awesome but the long lines and hot weather were gay as fuck.

I'm pretty sure my Dad himself had a good time.

P/S: You should've seen the look on my brother's face when we ride the roller-coaster. He was so scared that he shouted for Mom on the ride. It was EPIC.

(Guys, please comment. I've been through a lot just to enable comments.)

Hello Kitty Town

Hey guys. Remember what I said about Hello Kitty Town? Yeah, I went there this morning. Mom, bro's and I arrived there at  ten because Mom doesn't wanna get headaches from looking for parking lots.

Anyway, it was... nice. Cool, even. Although I don't take much pictures. I couldn't enjoy it fully because I suffered from Post-Fanfic Heartache where I'd get myself heartbroken because I've finished reading a fanfic.

But yes, it was nice. So many... pink. (It was more than Hello Kitty if you explore the second and the third floor).

We didn't buy any souvenirs because the stuffs they sell were expensive as fuck.

Oh yes, about Sunway Lagoon, Mom had to cancel it cuz it's raining season and not the best time for swimming.

Still, I'm soooooo happy!! This is why I love the end of the year.

Also, It's December 13th. Happy 23rd Birthday, Taylor Swift!

K. Nadia out. Cheerio!

Subway yang dekat-dekat ngan Dominoes tu..


We do take-outs on Saturday nights. Anyways, we usually go to this mamak on Saturday nights except yesterday, we didn't. In fact, Dad drove somewhere >5 KM away only for this new outlet.

Dad drove to Mount Austin and as always, lil bro slept through the whole ride while Mom calling Uncle to find where in the world Subway is. And Dad's having problems with the GPS.

During the ride, we were like, so close to Jusco and me and my bro couldn't help but staring with hopeful eyes. And that's when Mom said:

"No, we're not going into that building"

I know exactly what she's implying on but I asked anyway. "What building?"

Dad had to stop to check just where in the world is this new outlet. Uncle said it is in Jusco and that's where we went; Jusco. This is the part where I started to get my hopes up.

Internally, I was all: "Oh My God!! Jusco!! It's been months since I did any shopping!! Twilight and Breaking Dawn, here I come!!"

When I got out of the car, I smiled smugly at Mom. " Not going into the building, eh?" Mom just smiled in response.

The first moment we entered the shopping mall, I inhaled deeply because Jusco's air is the kind of air you would want to stuff inside your lungs and never let it out. So, in every step I took in that shopping mall, I took deep breaths endlessly.

We went to the food court because that's where Uncle said it would be. It was, until Dad asked on of the guards if there's Subway in the mall. The answer? No.

Mentally, it was a slap in the face and I started blaming the earth and its occupants for existing. I went back to the car in slow steps with my shoulders hunched. The disappointment in my face is apparent.

I sat like a stone in the car. We continued to search for Subway. Everyone was running out of patience and Mom finally decided to call Auntie Yusnita for directions. And surprise, surprise. Turns out, it was on the same street Dominoes was.

Dad asked Mom for directions to Dominoes. Dad dropped us in front of Subway and  he went to look for a parking space. We went inside. I was still disappointed at that time that I couldn't really care to savour the moment of my first time going to Subway.

Here's how the orders work in Subway.


  1. Choose whether you want a footlong, 6-inch or wrap
  2. Choose what typed of bread you want
  3. Choose set (chicken slice, roasted chicken, turkey breast, etc.)
  4. Choose vegetables (tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, lettuce, etc.)
  5. Choose sauce (chilli, ketchup, mustard, barbecue, mayonnaise, etc.)
  6. And then you choose your drinks. If you want the meal set, you could add cookies or fries or whatever they have in store.
Notes: The next time I go to Subway, I wouldn't put vegetables on mine. Oh yeah, I got a footlong chicken slice filled with all the veggies I listed, with mayonnaise, honey mustard, and chilli.

It was nice. But it could have been better if you subtract all the vegetables. Plus, I'd recommend for you to get the turkey breast chicken slice. Also, pick footlong. You wouldn't get enough with just 6-inch.

Dad and my bro got grabby so they took a bite out of my sandwich. I kept glaring at my bro as if I have supernatural powers that could kill him. Who wouldn't? I mean, I have to go through all the the hullaballoos in the car while he slept through it.

My bro finished his soda but not his sandwich with one stupid reason, the frikkin lettuces and tomatoes. My other bro, wanting him to get it over with handed him  his soda. Note-to-self, if your brother doesn't finish his sandwich, instead of giving your soda, chomp the frikkin sandwich.

In the end, I'm the only one with a soda in my hand. 

The sandwich was nice but I think my neighbors(professional cooks) could whip something like that. I mean, you just grab that long french bread and you put in slices of chickens and beef and cheese and whatever you like. 

Oh yeah, I almost forgot; after they put the chicken slices and cheese on the half-sliced bread, they heat in a microwave or oven or whatever. Which is why it is delicious cuz it's crunchy with the french bread and the cheese melting into the chicken slices. 

Mom also spent over $80 for only sandwiches. Like I said, you could easily make this at home. No need to go here and there searching for Subway, like my parents did. And lose $80. 

P/S: I'm still disappointed we didn't go to Jusco.
