Hello, I am back with words.

Back from a mega holiday within a holiday. As people(yes you) would probably know, I'm actually having my summer holidays and I left for Malaysia for some family matters for the past few days. Going to Malaysia is awesome! Having most of my relatives in Malaysia, KL specifically, my family always head over to KL for the yearly Chinese New Year. My dad is a strict believer of traditions so we never skipped Chinese New Year EVER.

However, normally when I get to KL, I don't get the chance to walk around and see much of KL. The reason is mainly because my paternal side grandmother has always been a very protective elder over me always feeding me with stories of how this aunt got her handbag snatched, this cousin heard that this particular individual got kidnapped whilst taking a local cab. So yes, its saddening. The only thing that I really look forward in KL every year is probably when my cousin actually bring me out for shopping or movies or just to hang out.

This trip back has definitely open up my whole perception of the place. I told my aunt when we were in the car in the midst of the infamous car congestion that this is really the first time I find myself being really in KL. I must say, this trip back has really been a ultimate shopping spree. I spent like no tomorrow, mainly because my mom pays for everything. And this is probably one of the few times that she pays without grumbling too much. This 7 days shopping spree has apparently costed my mom $3000 ringgit, which I thought was quite reasonable seeing that I only brought 2 bags over to KL and coming back with 7 more. Thank god, my uncle and his family was coming in to Singapore for holidays, so me and my mom didn't need to lug the whole 9 bags full of goodies back on our own.

Ofcourse, this trip back hasn't always been for shopping. I finally get to bond with my cousins this time round. There are so many new additions to the family that I know nothing of(seeing that I only go for visiting every one year, I don't see much of them). Its sad when I have to re-introduce myself to my cousins everytime I get back. Its even more depressing when you see the cousins all playing together and you kinda stick out like a sore thumb because of how much older you are. FYI, I'm the oldest in my maternal side and the youngest in my paternal side. So see the age gap! My paternal side cousins who shares the same surname as me is at least  10 years older than me for heaven sake! Sighhh.


Went over to Sunway lagoon with 2 of my cousins during one of those days and had loads fun. Sunway lagoon was soooo much bigger when I came really young though. Over the years, it seem to have shrink so much!
















Gonna skip the other pictures for next time. I had the joy of going to Marina Bay Sands the other day with my relatives and its really awesome! The infinity pool, the scenery, the night view, plus kickass professional cameras. I'm no camera expect, even my 12 year old cousin know more than me, given that his dad, my uncle is a professional director. So I'm really looking forward to how the photos look like.
