Malaysia Trips
Quick update.
2 days 1 nite last last weekend in Muar with friends to visit her hometown. Drove there as usual with the mad BMW driver. Couldn't get to sleep in the car, due to the excitement of the way he drove. Hitting the highest 240. Gosh.
Reached Muar at about afternoon. We thought that it was going to be a village, didn't know that it was a coffee shop that her mother opened. whereby the upstairs is where they stay. So settle downstairs first, ate their kampong big egg. yummy. chit chatting. went to their big giant to shop shop and eat dinner. seriously, i do ate a lot man.
Back to coffee house and chitchat with beers. and bathe and sleep. no sleep at all. 7 of us sleep in a room. comfortable but noisy though. the guys were snoring very loudly! ma chiam competition. :( man. i hate snoring sounds! we headed for bed at 2am. I thk i struggle the whole nite till i heard monk chanting followed by roosters morning sound. when almost every1 was awake, then i can sleep peacefully.
No choice, got to wake up as we did not want to waste the trip here. So washed up and head downstairs for breakfast. Homemade nasi lemak, fried noodles, standard toasted bread with butter and kaya, kampong eggs and not forgetting the strongly brewed hot black coffee. What a delicious breakfast. After that her daddy drove us to a temple to pray as just nice the "ma zhou" came to the temple. pray for luck, and safetyness.I didnt pray as I dont know what is there. Then headed coffee house for homecooked lunch. Her mother cooked for us. the mushroom. omg. Is super nice! stingray, curry, chicken soup, duck. WOAH for a lunch.
Its time to go home. So packed up and get ready to go. Before we left malaysia, we went to bak gu teh, my first time eating, it was quite nice. :) And so, jammed at custom. And finally home sweet home.
2 days 1 nite in Kukup last weekend definitely drained my energy down to zero.
im basically like a zombie right now. eyes opened 1/4. Woke up at 6.30am to get ready to go to Yishun for the meetup. No time to buy Mac hashbrown. But we had homecooked glutinous rice by nancy nya nya. :D Sat in a lousy bus with just a little of air con or i should rather say no aircon at all. Played ds and sleep thoughout the journey from Yishun to Woodlands custom. Jammed at woodlands custom. Kiasu us searched for the shortest lane to go through. Poor jovi couldn't get through the thumb print there as he was underage. Jammed at Malaysia custom too. Poor lian kanna cut by the lousy bus seat. bleeding all the way to the bus. The uncle and aunty were all busying helping her putting medicine and washing the cut happily as it was not their leg. I wonder if that hurts. Ouch. Challenging mario kart from the bus to queueing at the Malaysia custom.
finally back to the bus where we sleep finally. but kept waking up as it was really too hot. 2 hours torturing in the hot bus, and we reached kukup. oh it was raining. so much cooler than the bus. the arrangement of the room and the eating sitting arrangement was really a messed. everyone was screaming and shouting around. we were basically too hungry and waiting for the food to be served. after eating, the uncles and aunty were argueing on the room arrangement, while we were trying to play around with the karaoke system. lousy system with old songs and 1/2 spoilt mic.
mahjong session started. first round me, brother, lian and nancy nya nya. i am mentioning this round as there was this super funny and unforgetful incident as brother asked mama to help him play while eng nya nya guide mama along. We were all shuffling the tiles and ready to stack the tiles, mama was still shuffling the tiles. hehe. nvm. the next round, when we were stacking the tiles, guess what? mama actually opened the tiles and choose the nice tiles and arrange happily. When i first saw that, I LOL immediately, nancy nya nya and lian was shocked and looked and LOL too. we LOL for about 3 minutes. everyone was staring at us. =x poor mama so paiseh. maybe due to we luffed at her, she helped brother to win a 7 tai game. :(
We were all mad about food and kept asking for refill. Trust me. I guarantee that our family was the most greedy and ate the most and gained the most KG family. LOL.
Overall, this trip is boring for kids. Basically Mahjong-ing and food eating. Oh ya. we did play fire crackers too. the loud sound kept scaring me. FIREWORKS is the most nice. that's the most fun of all.
