well. for those who have seen the tags, i must say that was a very nice welcome.
*sobs* and no one else wishing me a good trip...
nevermind.
Curled Bob, Heeled Feet And An Uneven Bitumen Road
a tale of a city girl going back to her roots
i did look forward to my Msia trip, but then again, as inferred from the title of this post, there are many things that don't go along with yours truly in sunny msia. here are snippets of the lovely stuff.
this was part of my welcome committee upon reaching Ketari Gardens (estate where i stay). stupid noisy barking-forever and barking-mad dog who never stops barking and everything and anything even throughout the night.
a couple of hours after we arrived, my uncle and family from KL reached. upon reaching, my little cousin of four who just woke up grabbed her winnie the pooh. she's just clamouring to be taken. so i grabbed my cam. "jia xian, smile, don't move arh, jie jie take photo. jia xian don't move! don't move!" hao bu rong yi, i managed to take the photo. phew.
and what did the little boys do while the girls went around taking photos?
"there, there, go there! press X 2 times then O! jump on top! no! go there!" kid in blue, big bother of jia xian hollering at my bro (in white).
"kor kor, i want to play..." my youngest guy cousin, hidden in the picture, whines.
"later then play, we play first." the second brother says. sigh.
"jie jie, play see saw with me. i want to play the swing also."
"jia xian careful arh, don't run too far arh"
imagine me running after a kid with one hand busy on a camera, an eye on jia xian and the other eye one the road out for cars. just a couple of hours into msia and i've gone into my usual job.
little tyke ran after me to my room when i went in to change and brush up for dinner. "jie jie, what is that you put on your face? mei mei (pretty in chinese) arh? jie jie i don't need right? i mei mei right?"
she talks a lot you know. i don't even know what she's saying. i just mumble back..ya..ya..
"then you fold here...and press here...and voila!" some shots of my maternal cousins.
"huh, take photo? don't want lah...later..." but i took it already. lol. sister of previous babe.
"what, you want to take a photo? sure. here's smile. pretty enough? of course pretty!" my BHB mom. lol. this was breakfast on monday.
"smile when you take photos! must show your teeth, then handsome. come on, smile!"
"now, there, doesn't that look better? must smile!" i must have told my brother a million times to smile when he takes photos, but he NEVER does. why huh? i realize it's a guy thing. a lot of guys think it's cool not to smile, i guess. sheesh.
this are some really comfy seats i found in the HKSH bank in malaysia. i was waithing for my dad to settle some dunno whats. i love these seats. lol.
and here's the fun part...on tuesday i met up with all my aunts and cousins from my mother's side, and we went shopping. i didn't do much shopping, i had to look after my niece. she's quite sticky, if you know what i mean. but i bought the mascara from maybelline (the XXX one) i wanted, and the pink eyeliner (lol pink fascination). and after that i went to my aunt's house to make this :
okay not exactly. that's melted chocolate. it's heavenly. i piped it into this:
lovely ain't it? lol. shaped choco on a stick! it was fun piping it. tiring. my cousins had a ball of a time. haha.
my favourites. of course i made them. lol. for all the people who have saliva drizzling down their shirts, i'm sorry. i didn't bring any back (how the heck am i suppose to bring them back without them melting????).
my 2 cuzzies, they were making the choc-on-a-stick too. while eating the melted choc. lol. look a like, don't they? they ain't twins, cuzzies too. just the same age.
and this is the end product! i really feel like making plenty and selling them. so pretty. i didn't want to eat them lol.
my niece. cutest baby of all. and the sticky one. i think she just woke up. lol. she actually calls me ah yi, aunt in chinese. so old...
the choc-on-a-stick making team! except my niece there. she wanted to be in the photo. as you can see they're all kids. i'm the only teen. the rest of my motherside cuzzies are adults. my niece there, her mom's my cuzzie too.
dinner time, after choc making. and this part's a little creepy.
if you see properly..there are NOBODY else in the restaurent. NOBODY. my family was the only one there. i was sitting at one side, near the wall, and i took these shots. good food though. i'm a food maniac so i didn't get food shots since i was busy eating lol.
it felt good to see this : the singapore immigration. it meant i was home after sitting in the car for so long. lol.
last picture. guess what's this:
overall, i loved the msia trip. took me away from technology for a change. but i really don't like the toilets. lol. not even in my own house.
and why are the roads so uneven????? sheesh. i must have tripped a million times. and i know it's not because i was wearing heels.
then again i bought a zillion things at hald the price. lol.
this is a super long post man. i totally have to go. lol. thank you if you have even read until here. XD
