I open my eyes and it’s already 2.30pm! The sun is streaming through the window and the air conditioner is whirring but it’s warm. My aircon is like a lot of people I know — noisy but ineffective. So is my comforter. It’s colorful and cheap. And synthetic so when it’s hot it’s warm and when it’s cold it lets all the air in. I snuggle down and try to go back to sleep anyway because nobody has shouted up the stairs at me yet.
I don’t brush my teeth because I can. I schlep down the stairs and see my mother watching Wah Lai Toi. She asks me if I want Indomie for breakfast/lunch/tea. Yes! I love Indomie and I hate that not many mamaks serve it.
I go back upstairs to sit in front of my computer. I talk to Suet on MSN for an hour. Then I open a blank Word document and start doing some translation work that I agreed to help someone with. I feel like I’m back in school (!!) reading Japanese novelettes so I can present what I know to the teacher. It’s hard at first and I take awfully long but after a while I get better and quicker at it. Before I know it, it’s late and Fat Her yells up at me that it’s time for dinner.
We go somewhere nearby for quiet Japanese food. When we pay, the cashier hands me a free pack of green tea ice cream. She thinks I’m twelve years old or something, because nobody else got one. I am special! And this looking half my age thing will definitely come in handy when I’m 40.
Then my friends call and we Old Town Kopitiam hop. We go to three outlets that night and to avoid diabetes and save money, we all order air suam. The staff are not very happy with our table but that is okay — we sit there rerunning old jokes and talking about nothing and everything and have a great time.
Then I go home, go online, and go to bed.
Today felt exactly like one of those anonymous days of summer vacation when you’re back home for the year and have little or no responsibilities and nowhere to rush to except maybe yamcha. And it has been a long time since I’ve had one of those days. 🙂 🙂 🙂
When I grow up, I want to be a kid again.

AK is short for Avtomat Kalashnikova. AK-47. The line is from Ice Cube’s famous song “Today Was a Good Day” where everything went well and was a good day.
