The beauty of Raya, or any major holiday like CNY or ones that constitute a long weekend, is that when you're staying back in KL, the roads are free! :D Makes you have the rush to run around yelling, free at last, free at last! No more major bummer of traffic jams for the next few days, before everyone comes grumbling back from their post-holiday depression/coma.
Unfortunately, my holiday comprised of stressing out over the sorry state of my car, trying frantically to revive it, and fretting over transportation problems since I wanna meet up with friends who live away from the major railway stops. That in turn spells am undeniable, crippling sorry state of affairs, where I'm even too freaked out to leave my house out of fear that I might get stuck in the middle of some randomly remote area with my vegetable-state car, and since the mechanics are closed on public holidays, I'm forced to leave my blue darling in the middle of nowhere.
Of course, I feel a need to get pissed off over the fact that mommy dearest has been stalling over the car issue like no tomorrow. But I guess, what can I do, since I'm at their mercies financially still. Sigh.
In other news, I'm excited to have verbal diarrhea again. The ability to talk and write and compose with no worries of the dreaded writer's block virus making its rounds, and to top that off, I'm getting back into the habit of reading again. Just finished HP:OOTP, HP:HBP, Jeffery Archer's Cat o' Nine Tails and Amy Tan's Saving Fish from Drowning in just 1.5 weeks. Which is a huge accomplishment, since I've been stalling at reading for quite some time, and have just been filling my parched literary soul with magazines and newspapers. Are the muses back? I hope so. :)
