Ayudarme por favor.....

That means help me please in Spanish...

Yes, I made it safely to Argentina but I need help....firstly, the stupid huge ass dinosaur of a laptop that i lugged all the way to Argentina isn't working and I can't get WiFi when everyone else can....I have tried EVERYTHING possible but I still x get WiFi...I'm using the hotel computer btw. There's only 2 of em' and there's always a queue for it....prolly the ones queuing are the people who's stupid laptop can't get wifi either! There goes my hope of skyping with Mi Amor while I'm here....I even bought a web cam and headphones with a mic before leaving for Argentina so that I could skype with him (yes, that's how old school the laptop is...it doesn't have an inbuilt webcam or mic).

And the second thing I need help with is my sanity.....my FREAKIN MOTHER is HERE with me in Argentina!!!!! (pls God give me the strength to not want to hang myself ). She decided at the 11th hour to buy a ticket a follow me to Argie (yes, 2 hours before I was going to leave for KL Sentral to check in my bags she decided to pack her bags and purchase a ticket!). It's only been a day in Argie and already we've had some disagreements (but I hafta say I'm semi proud of myself, instead of talking back, I just roll my eyes in silence hoping she doesn't catch me doing it). 

Drama began even before we reached Argie.Since she purchased her tix last minute, she couldn't get a seat next to me coz the plane was full....somehow halfway through the journey, the guy sitting next to me changed seats....and I decided against calling my mum to sit with me (coz I wanted the peace...and also the space)...somehow she was walking through the plane looking for me and when she found me and saw that the seat next to me was empty she got upset at the fact that I did not ask her to sit with me!) sighhhhh.....

Oh and then there ws the gift shop incident in Cape Town Airport (we had to stop over for almost 2 hours before resuming the journey to Argie). She asked me what should she get, a fridge magnet or a mug and me being me was trying to rationalize the options ("Oh if u get a fridge magnet, you'll only put it up on the fridge, that's it, it won't benefit you much but you do have a few collections already. Wherelse if you get the mug, you can use it but then again you have so many mugs already and u hardly even use them"). Now in all honesty I didn't mean anything by my statement, that's just how I think even when it comes to making trivial decisions. But noOooOoOO...apparently my mum took offence in my statement coz she snapped at me "Mama mintak your opinion, can't you just give your opinion instead of berleter kat mama?" to which I replied "Berleter? that wasn't even berleter.That was me trying to think out loud since you asked for my opinion when truthfully I don't have an opinion coz I x care!" OH JOY, I'M GOING TO SPEND A WEEK IN ARGENTINA WITH HER!

The TV in my room has 80 channels and me being the TV addict I am will always find something to watch. It is NOT FUN watching late night shows (*ehem ehem*)  with my mum sleeping next to me.
I was watching this trashy reality show (so sue me, I like em') called A Shot At Love with Tila Tequila (why don't we get this is Malaysia?!). It's the same premise as the Bachelor or Bachelorette or any other reality show where the main person is looking for 'LOVE'. Anyway, from the start of the show till the middle, she was quietly asleep. When when it came to the part where Tila was making out with one of the contestant in a champagne glass shaped bath tub (filled with champagne non the less...yes, prolly the classiest bit of the show) she just had to choose that time to wake up!

Mi madre : Why are you watching this? Takde cerita lain ke?
Me           : Nope.
Mi madre : Why is she wearing clothes like that? (I'll leave the clothes to your imagination)
Me           : Fashion
Mi madre : Is that a man or a woman? (refering to the person Tia was making out with)
Me           : It's a woman, can't you tell?It's so obvious (ok to be fair to her, it prolly wasn't obvious to her as the woman was a butch..but still, I could tell and I'm sure most people could)
Mi madre : Why are you watching this? I don't like all this lesbian stuff!
Me:          : Then don't watch.

Think that's enough for today. It's been a longgggggggggg day. And if I had to blog about my encounters with Mi Madre, I should start a whole new blog for that! (so maybe that must be God's reason for my laptop acting up...so that I don't blog more about the rest of our Mother-daughter adventure in Argie)

Hasta Lavista!
