The secret lives of teen girls

Things I learnt from my holiday:

I'm such a baby. On the flight to Heathrow, I adjusted myself to face my seat, rested my head on Paul's lap, curled my legs so that they won't be sticking out to the aisle, hugged Paul's waist so that I won't roll off the seat, and settled myself into fetal position. I slept like that for quite some time. Paul did say it's uncomfortable, but I am his girlfriend, so I guess it's okay. Haha on the following trips I just rested my head against his chest when I slept.

In the Tropical Rainforest in KLIA.

In the garden behind Paul's house.

I enjoy stepping on untouched snow, I'd even walk in circles instead of a straight line.

Lying on the snow.

I walked down and up the hill in Howth while having my menses.

On the train to London.

Paul can really eat a lot. (Actually, so can I.) We'll have breakfast, lunch, snack before dinner, have dinner, and a few suppers. After dinner we can eat cheesecake or ice cream, crisps, fruits, and have a cup of hot drink later at night.

We've been walking around Bristol for a few hours. In this picture you can see that my feet point outwards when I walk.

Crossing the road in Cheltenham. I usually grab Paul's hand when we cross the road.

In Bath.

I'm quite unfit. When we walk up St Michael's Hill to go home, Paul will always ask me whether I'm okay. He'll also ask whether I need to stop for a rest. I usually need to stop. But I did get better. By the time Jean came to visit I didn't need to stop.

While Jean was at the tekan dinding.

Paul said it has the shape of a bullet because it's the FBI headquarters. I knew it wasn't true.

On Tower Bridge.

The cleaning has to be done. At home I can be lazy. The cleaning lady cleans my room, while I sleep upstairs in my parents' room or downstairs in the living room. Some things I can avoid doing, like cleaning the stove. Momma will usually do that because she cannot tahan if it's oily. But in Bristol, I cooked. I couldn't tahan seeing the stove too dirty. So I had to do it. They say Women belong in the kitchen. So that's the only place in the house that I cleaned up.

Peter said the wind was blowing too strongly, it caused the building to move.

He's so strong.

Dinner at Yard, Old Street.

Making roti canai at Paul's cousin's housewarming.

We ate so many oranges.

The value of money. I worked and saved for money to spend there. I couldn't just spend on anything and everything. At home when I drive, I fill up petrol without thinking about how much the parents have to pay. I take highways everywhere and use the Touch n Go card so often. In London when I realised how much I spent on the Oyster card, I felt so sakit hati. Twenty pounds for four days. At first Paul said that 300 pounds will be enough for the holiday. Fortunately I had enough for 400. I only have a few coins left in my purse. That's also because Paul sometimes doesn't split the grocery bill if it's very little. From now on I'm going to record my expenses and see where my money goes.

Paul trying to be as tall as Jean.

Dinner with cousins and aunt at Chinatown.

Tea at Canary Wharf.
The Victoria Memorial.

At a restaurant while waiting for Francis, and Paul's cousins.

Dinner date at Carluccio's.

Going home soon.

I enjoy living with Paul. Momma said that Five weeks is too long. You're overstaying your welcome. You'll get bored of each other. No, we did not get bored of each other. Of course there are differences. He likes to accumulate the dishes to wash it all at once. He even leaves the ones we use for supper, to be washed in the morning after breakfast. I prefer to wash up immediately, so that the sink won't get full, and there won't be too much to wash at one time. But at least he washes up. He likes his food with chilli powder. So I'll scoop out my portion first, then add chilli powder to his.

Such a good housewife, right.
