13th Nov'06
Okies~! Time to update again... Hmm... went overseas over the weekend to Malaysia to celebrate grandma's 76th Birthday~! And below are the updates...
10th Nov'06
We set off at 8++pm started driving towards Woodlands checkpoint.... Reached there at almost 9pm and OMG~!!!! to my suprise the queue is packed with motorcycles!!!! tons and tons of motorcycles!!!! which the majority "eat" into the car lane just to cut queue~!!!! I'm so pissed off that i ever thought of just getting off and give them a good piece of my mind~!!! the way they behave is so uncivilised!!! forcing the 4 wheels to almost scraping the right side walls with their miserable 2 wheels~!!! Then... dad want to set things right by keeping to as left of the vehicle lane as possible... But eventually we are forced near the right side of the wall again... Haiz... the worst part is the bikers even stared into our cars!!! i stared them back with a pissed off expression!!! so angry!!!!! are bikers lives so cheap??!!!!! if so please all meet with accident bah!!! Ride a Bike Ride safely and not at the expense of your LIVES!!!!! !@#!@#!@# stuck at Singapore Woodlands Immigration for almost an hour due to those stupid bikers!!!! After which we continued our journey into Malaysia~ 2 hours later we reached our destination "Xiao Gu Gu"(youngest aunt)'s place.... Thats also where we rested for the night....
Day 2
11th Nov'06
Woke up early in the morning... my family and i were all invited to my aunt's plantation... Photos will be uploaded in a few days... hehe cos part of it are in my sis's camera... After which... we headed back and i started to prepare sushi~!!! That is of course with the ingredients we bought on the way back and some i brought all the way from my home hehehe.... Preparation took almost 2 1/2 hrs where by i completed 15 rolls of sushi... Of cos in the midst of making my 6 lovely cousins took turns to help me...... eat the "head & tail" of the sushi.... hahaa... cos those are so call the not so presentable part of the sushi.... Thanks Gals~.... Shortly after clearing up the small little mess i made... Its almost time to pop over to 2nd Uncle's place for the celebration... Then of cos thats when i bathe and prepare to go over.... Fantastic celebration I would say~ Although not all my Uncles/Aunties/ Cousins/ Nieces/ Nephews are all there but... Nevertheless I'm sure all those present enjoyed themselves.... After the short dinner(buffet styled) I manage to gather people for a Family photoshoot each family gets to take pictures with the leading lady of the night(My Grandma)... Its soooo.... heart warming~.... Thats also a sign of me getting old liao.... I see so many of my cousins and families... some with 1 kid... some 2 kids some 3 kids.... Awww..... OMG.... I'm still single hahaa... Although it seems abit dis-organise but... all ends with laughter and happiness.... and for my after trip project is to make a Slideshow VCD of the event.... So... after everything.... night still quite young... so we decided to drive over to Carrefour to do some shopping.... Hmmm... Its a big place compared to our local Hypermart... but of cos.... their managing of the place is still enigmatic... cos there's still alot of errors here and there.... perhaps due to big place bah.... Afterwhich we proceeded back to the school situated just outside Xiao Gu Gu's place... Cos there as been told by my cousins is having a Show... a Chinese Opera.... Coolz... Thats most probably the longest time I've ever watched a Live Chinese Opera....
Day 3
12th Nov'06
This is the day again... The day of going home... But.... before all this happens.... my family and i are so honoured once again... Invited to view the Graduation Cum Children's day of the locals.... This event involves 3 of my lovely cousins... Kang Wen(3rd), Le Wen(4th) & Jie Wen(5th) Hmmm.... I'm actually quite suprise... cos this is my 1st encounter with the local education system... They only have 1 class per level and the best part is... each level comes up with a performance to celebrate Children's Day.... Each class consist of roughly 10 odd to 20 odd students... which is relatively easy to teach... I'm so envy of their local teachers so much less stress~.... Oh erm... the interesting part is after the performance is the prize giving... that is for the Best student, Best Level, Best Subject... etc etc etc.... and every level will have "Best" prize... hahaa... so although 6 classes... but all the presentation ceremony lasts almost 1 1/2hr.... And... the "Best" student appeared on stage for almost 10 times if not more.... cos i kept hearing the same name again and again.... Then they also have Lucky Draw... hahaa... 1st time ever i heard schools conduct lucky draws for students.... And the Grand Prize..... A Mountain Bike with front,rear wheel and seat suspension.... Coolz.... All Prizes are sponsored by the Teachers and Principal and Director..... After all these Prizes you must be thinking thats all ya? NOPE!!!! It just doesn't end there.... The Kids are led back to their individual classroom for their Children's day gifts and a packet of Nasi Lemak.... then some time for them to interact with each other.... Then.... comes the Finale~..... Students are brought back to the assembly area for the distribution of a Hamper for each student!!!! Unbelieveable!!!!! Wondering whoever sponsor all these stuffs.... OMG... haaa... then.... of cos... its time to go home.... On the way back Singapore we dropped by 1st Uncle's place to bid them goodbye and 2nd Uncle's place to bid Grandma and everyone else goodbye and not forgetting 3rd Uncle's place too.... Then its a rather smooth journey of 2hrs back home.... Cos the traffic are not congested at the both customs.... Thank GOD....
