i just came back from malaysia yesterday.. luckily my uncle fetched us otherwise we got to take a 4hr journey back home ourselves...
DAY1: my mum, sis and i met my malaysia-bound cousin at kranji station to take a bus to malaysia.. the bus was 170 and it took like uberLONG to come.. plus the queue for the bus was so FREAKIN long.. we finally got onto the bus after 3 buses and reached the singapore causeway.. after clearing the customs we had to queue AGAIN to take 170 AGAIN to the malaysia custom.. wahlao the queue was so fat and long we didnt noe at first which queue belonged to 170.. then ppl keep cutting queue.. they line up at the 160 queue next to 170's and when ppl at the 170 queue move they take the opportunity to cut in then pretend nothing happened.. irritating. anyway, it was after 5 buses came and went that we finally boarded our bus.. once on board a china kid kept wailing and crying so loud and the mother dun even noe how to calm that kid down.. it was so irritating lah. arrgh:X cleared the customs and went to take 170 AGAIN to malaysia's local bus interchanged that operate like a wet market.. there were so many uncles calling stuff like "KOTA TINGGI!! KOTA TINGII!!" OR "TO SONGAPORE!! TO SINGAPORE!!" we waited really long for our bus.. the journey to my aunt's place was about one hr(!!) so we finally reached there at around like 2+. my cousins came later then in the evening we all went to Tropical Garden Restaurant to eat reunion dinner. the food was super nice!! one of my cousins drank beer and got slightly tipsy.. his face was super red.. haha.. after dinner my uncle brought my cousins, my sister and i to a karaoke(is this how u spell it?) place to sing songs.. i drank a few glasses of carlsberg and got very lightheaded.. but i dun think i was drunk yet.. the beer was super bitter at first and i gagged on my first mouthful.. i didnt even noe it was slightly carbonated.. haha silly me... oh well.. we sang lots of classics, fish leong and FIR... i was out of tune most of the time when it was my turn cos of the beer.. heh heh.. it was so funny we all cracked up..:) we went back at about 1am like that and i fell asleep like instantly.. must be the beer...:)
DAY2:we didnt do much.. mostly lazing around and watching tv.. the adults went to Giant to buy stuff so my cousins and i stayed behind.. we invented this stupid game adapted from badminton and spent most of our time laughing like crazy cos my younger cousin was so funny in the game.. we watched black sheep in the evening and i was so totally grossed out.. the bloody(literally) sheep were tearing out ppl's innards and arms and legs.. so gross..*shudders* no wonder my cousin zhang jingwei said he lost his appetite after watching it.. i totally agree, though i didnt lose mine cos my grandma and aunt's cooking were simply superb.. then after dinner we all went to play firecrackers outside the house. it wasnt as fun as last year cos my uncles all didnt come.. last year it was totally crazy because after playing for awhile my uncles got bored and started doing silly things like tying 2 rockets together and lighting them, causing a humongous explosion in the sky and scaring the hell out of everyone.. yeah it wasnt as fun this years cos there was only 3 of us... sighs.. we got bored so we finally stopped after half an hr.. the firecrackers werent cooperating with me anyway.. i spent like 5 minutes trying to light a puny bomb.. i gave up finally and let my cousin do it for me.. so, tired and defeated, i retired back to the house and watched rush hour 2 and romeo must die before plonking down on my mattress, thinking of laoii until i fall asleep.
DAY3:it's the first day of CNY so in the morning all we lil' kids went to bai nian and receive angbaos!! watched tv and ate and ate those delicious goodies until it was time to say goodbye and leave.. my uncle was so nice to fetch us back even though it was a little cramped in the backseat which we shared with our two other cousins.. so we reached home pretty fast..
sighs.. after CNY this year my life may be changed forever.. and its not a good thing.. i dun even wanna think about it...
