the bagel tragedy

I love bagel, especially the classic with smoked salmon and cheese. Isn't that the most wonderful guilty pleasure? Guilty because of the carb, and pleasure for the healthy salmon :)

Last week, I bought the onion and poppy seeds bagels only to throw them away because they were burned everytime I put them in the oven. Hitam semua bagelku! Today, with the last bagel and the last slice of salmon I was determined to get it right.

Tragedy almost happened, but it was still edible and munchable, so makan je lah walaupun dah terlebih gelap.

Bagel, however, must be accompanied with cheese. Unfortunately for the bagel, the cheeses are all in my bags heading to Malaysia gara-gara my sister. Aci ni memang hantu cheese, and now all her sons followed her footstep.

Of all the things they ask to bring back, they want cheese. Orang beli coklat bawak balik, I beli cheese :) Takpe lah kan, setahun sekali je. Lagipun cheese kat sana mahal sangat and takde varieties like you can find here.

Burp!

Opss.. dah kenyang with the hangit bagel.

It's almost 4am. I can't sleep because I fear that if I go to bed, I won't be able to rise on time to catch my flight at ten.

Last night I even dreamt that I missed the flight.

This is my first time flying with Qatar Airways. Done Emirates and I wasn't that impressed with their flight attendants. One particular attendant was rude when she used her foot to point the footrest. It was just unacceptable.

These days flying with Malaysia Airlines is out of the question. By choosing Qatar, I paid £200 less. Banyak tu! The different is just a four-hour transit in Doha. Never mind lah. Apalah sangat 4 hours tu compared to the extra cost. I keje extra 4 jam pun tak dpt gaji sebanyak tu.

Anyway, let's stop merapuing. I received a message from PS and from my nephew. Both messages said they can't wait to see me. Awww... It is nice to know there are people who are waiting for you. Somehow it made me feel extra special and that I am loved.

To be honest, I didn't feel excited about going home until yesterday when I started packing. Then it all dawned to me that I'm going to be in the company of my loved ones, and that's what important.

I love it here, in London, but there are times when I want to feel that I'm needed. However much I want to deny it, there is a gap inside me that long to be among the familiar faces.

Wait no more, Ewok.

I'll be home.
