Posts have been lacking (way more than usual) because I feel a little more than just upset over the fact that my camera has rendered itself Useless. All because of some diseased -in terms of technological illness- or corrupted, half-thumb sized memory cards. Thus, with what I hope to be temporarily lost digital pictures from personal journeys to group expeditions, this Web Journal of All Things Amni, becomes deserted.
But not anymore! Or not today, at least.
I spent the weekend over at grandmumsy's because it has been weeks since I last visited her at her home. There was also that initial plan of transcribing as much as I can there too but.. what are plans, again?
The night was a comfortably familiar one as I shared the bed with grandmama. It has been a long, long while since I slept next to her so the night was a dreamless one.
Speaking of mums. Or grandmums -there's no difference, obviously- my dear mumsy, whom I really call Ibu, which of course, basically means Mother in Malay, turned 45 about seven days back!
And the above picture (with inferior quality no thanks to le Blackberry) is my part of the design for her brand-spanking-new Starbucks tumbler of a present!
Brilliante?
'Twas a gift shared by two sisters; two third of three siblings of three offsprings of two parents.
Yes nonsense is as nonsense does.

5 Days, 5 Nights, Hong Kong
Somehow, the cool weather is making me yearn to travel a lot more. It has been about two months since the trip to Hong Kong with Yeung Wing and I miss it a whole lot.
To be in a foreign land, being exposed to an entirely different language, surrounded by people that seem to have no desire to be in a rush to win a meritocratic race (well, through my eyes anyway).
Gosh. If only a luggage full of dollar bills can appear right now, on this very bed I am on, there will be no need for hesitations or thinking twice. A plane ticket will be booked and off I shall go.
But I guess it's enough with this despondent misery. Time to let the photos do some storytelling of their own.

The beauty of catching a sunrise while on a plane is more than just a granted wish let me tell you that. |
 |
Flats and buildings along the streets of Yau Ma Tei -the very street we stayed on. |
 |
One of the streets we ended up at while exploring the neighbourhood. |
 |
Hong Kong gives off this old feel at night especially. And the temperature was just brilliant, by the way. |
There are plenty, plenty, plenty more pictures, trust me. This is not even a tenth of the photos I took on the first day. Shall post them up on Facebook or somewhere -when I am a little less lazy and a little more dilligent.
