The Very Much Awaited Meeting

Oh Yeah... recognise us? Yup! that's my beloved and myself...our faces at 8.10am in the morning at the bus stop near our place.... it may not show but i was excited as hell...

We decided to go by bus today since my bro in law needed to use the car....it was soon after when the double decker bus came.... we took our seats andguess what my beloved do?

Oh yeah.....he SLEPT!!! all the wayyyyyyy till Taksim!! He is sooo just like his son!! I on the other hand, am just like hatice.... the moment i took my seat.... i started to sweat... my headache started to pound....i felt like vomitting.... i felt claustrophobic....*sigh*.. me and a bus trip... i cant really take busses....

That is why i always have my emadur, my dramamine and my minoset (medicine) with me at all times. And guess what happenned? The zip of my handbag where i put the medicine wouldnt open! hahahahah *simah..think of the suprises waiting for u in taksim*...i consoled myself... luckily in the part of my handbag which can open... i found some chewing gums...that helped.. and to distract my mind, i started sms-ing this kind lady who had spent a lot of money and energy so that i could have a taste of home...

When we reached the hotel, Rudi... the cute messenger of the kind auntie was already waiting at the lobby. He quickly showed me the suprises... i was soooooo happy inside....wanting to cry... but hey! i have to keep my reputation intact, eh? No crying in front of Rudi! hahahah...and so i laughed happily...Halil suggested that Rudi put the package we brought for him n the auntie (n Doc Adah of course)...at his room... of course, with Rudi missing, i quickly excitedly..smilingly showed and explained to halil what was actually inside the suprise package sent to me... Rudi came back.. and i again... controlled my *macho-ness* hahahahaha Sorry Kak Elle..!! No teary show in front of Rudi! hahaha what happened after i got home... THAT is a Different MATTER! hahahah tears r for when i am in private...Pandai tak i control macho? hahahah sebenarnya i nak melompat masa tengokall the kuih raya-s.. tapi kang halil ketuk kepala i kang ... kan dia ni jenis sopan hahahaha

We had sort of brunch at Taksim Square... Rudi n Halil had doner while i ate like a pig ( pls dont ask how much i weigh today! hahaha...today is a holiday...who can go on diet when u have wonderful stuffs around??)...I think Rudi had lost weight... he looked chubbier the last time i saw him...we chatted and chatted and after a while.... we all part ways... Rudi would go sight seeing...

I couldnt entertain a thought of going on a bus again... Luckily Halil understood my plight and agreed to take a Dolmuş (see the pic below)...it is some sort of a van with only 8 seats for the passengers....it is more expensive than a normal bus fare of course but the way is cut short..it is as if u r driving in a car..very comfortable...yeah...i know..i know... i am such a spoilt brat...but it is not my fault... i was independent..but my life in turkey... halil spoilt me rotten :0)

KAK ELLE (www.kakelle.blogspot.com) ThAnK You for EVERYthing... i hope u will like the ole ole i sent u thru Rudi... they r not much...but they r from the heart...Since u cant remember what u sent me.. here r the pictures of the things that reached my arms (and my mouth) today :0) Mintak dihalalkan yea akak?
