i am hommmmmmmmmmme!

alhamdulillah. flight went well except for a few bumpy turbulence.

1st day home ... jetlag & groggy. need to get back to normal time (my body was just getting used to pakistani time).





didn't do alot of shopping for my business but much for the family. abah is happy with his trousers, abang din is happy with his shirts and mama is also happy with her white fabric for kain telekung. i also bought for her some fabric for pant suits and blouses.



it was an exciting adventure to go there by myself but i don't think i'll be doing that that often. anxiety level was off the charts!

going around karachi town was worrying enough ... you never know when or where trigger--happy or bomb-ticking people are going to attack. we were quite careful to stay away from places where americans or foreigners would be.

last sunday was their national day and guess what? at 12midnight, sil's neighbours started shooting into the air celebrating independence day! i was fast asleep when the 1st 2 shots woke me up. at 1st i thought it was the generator exploding or something ... then i heard a strewn of shots and immediately jumped out of bed and ran upstairs. it was a spilt level house, my room (guestroom) was downstairs.

everyoen was still awake and i stayed up till after 1am listening to the gunshots & news on tv. they are one trigger-happy nation :o(

what an experience! the last time i heard such sounds was when i was in rotu at uni (old, old story).

i am so glad to be home on my beloved malaysian soil! now to get my bodyclock working right.
