I’m now in TimesSquare Starbucks KL killing time. Bought eleven o’clock coach ticket just now to go back to Singapore. Think will be reaching around five in the morning. Was walking around in SungaiWang, then BktBintang and was a little regret buying coach ticket for such late timing. Anyway, got myself a movie ticket for seven twenty watching 881 cause didn’t get to watch in Singapore. The movie here cost eleven ringgit. Expensive isn’t it? Then went Sony Style to buy a new pair of ‘peanut’. The old Samsung one I have is a bit spoil with loose wire. No sound from the left sometime.

Last night went Setapak to visit my bro’s gf’s friend. Then had supper at WangsaMaju. Long time didn’t come to this place. A popular hangout place for TARssians. It does bring back some memories.

Dragged myself up this morning. Went to my cousin’s place at Ampang to visit my aunt. My mum’s second brother’s wife. My cousin’s son was so cute. Only one and a half years old, but able to run around and so playful. It’s fun playing with him.

Then head to SungaiLong to visit my grandpa’s brother ‘lauSaZek’ in the afternoon. We had lunch together before my uncle sent me to Puduraya to buy ticket and then SungaiWang. My bro, his gf, and mum parted with me after the lunch. Laptop low batt now. Update later.

Didn’t drive today. Was really tired and can’t concentrate at all. Thanks bro for driving the whole day today! Reached uncle’s place at Kepong around twelve plus. Youngest brother of my mum. Other uncles, aunties, and cousins were there too. Some I recognise, and some I don’t. Especially cousins, very different from my memory. We got to have deserts together with uncles, aunts and cousins for tea before we head for next destination.

Went to my mum’s aunt’s place at Gombak after that. Let’s call her granny. I call granny ‘sa kim po’ in hokkien and she was so happy we visited her today.

Left around seven and meet my cousin for dinner. She is actually my ‘kai’ sister.

Then finally settle at my aunt’s place. My dad’s sis. Not a foreign place to me cause I came here every weekend when I was studying at ShahAlam last time.

The journey today was not totally smooth. We were a little lost from place to place. But still, we managed to find our bearings in the end.

Hope things will be great tomorrow before I return to Singapore on Sunday.

Going KL tomorrow with mum, bro and his gf. After that will be going back to Singapore from KL on Saturday. I volunteered to drive tomorrow cause bro is going to drive the journey back and I’m not with them. But we are going to start our journey at six in the morning later. Hehe! Only three hours of sleep.

Managed to talk to mum today. Was trying to have a good heart to heart talk but I think I failed. Is the generation gap that wide? I was trying to approach in different ways but I think I wasn’t successful. What I need is a little bit of concern. I really hope that mum will call me in future. A few words are more than enough.

Dad asked me: ‘gou chien yong ma?’ after knowing I’m leaving tomorrow.
I answered: ‘wo hai you’.
It was really nice to hear that. I was actually very happy to hear that.

Went to the bank to activate my account today. The last time I used it was more than four years ago. Deposited some money and then was asked to withdraw money to activate it so then can apply for ATM card.

After that went to the dentist. The nurse managed to find my record card and I was twenty one the last time I visited the clinic. Filled my tooth and did plague cleaning as well. The whole procedure only took like ten minutes. I think Dr Leh is the fastest dentist in the world. For peoples terrified of dentist, this is a good clinic to go. Haha!! My jaw was not even sore of opening wide during the procedure. Can imagine how fast isn’t it?

It’s mid autumn festival tomorrow. Went ‘garden’ with my bro and his gf just now. There were lots of kids and peoples there playing with lanterns and candles. Fire flies like candles are all around the park and we lit some ourselves too. It was nice!

Yesterday we went Pacific shopping centre at Butterworth. I bought a few books. And after that, we went to eat some LokLok. Haha!!! Had been eating well this few days. WanTanMee, Cendol, CharKeuyTiao, JauWaMee, BangChiangKuey, and mum cooked TuKa today. YumYum!!!

After over seven hundred kilometres and hours on the road, I’m finally home. Eight months I was away this time. Not a lot changes here. There’s a new bathroom in my old room, and I’ve also just try out the massage chair my dad bought. Fabulous!!!

Wasn’t able to sleep well last night. Foreign bad, ac room, flat pillow, and no bolster. End up not really have energy to work today.

Anyway, we manage to get eighty percent of the work done today. Haha! Will quickly finish things up tomorrow and Yay! Can go home after that.

Can’t wait to have dinner now, I’m starving.

Wooow. Took cad so many times today. Cost me more than sixty dollars $$$. Woke up at one plus and after lunch, took cab to Woodlands checkpoint cause was carrying lots of stuffs. But then can’t get out of Singapore cause don’t have special pass. F***!!! Had to go MOM to get it cause my boss didn’t print it out for me when he cancel my work permit. Cab to MOM, got the pass then cab back to Woodlands. Took me more than an hour to get it done. Then finally, I’m at JB. Took cab again to meet my bro and dad at where they are working. Only manage to get about one third of the things done today. Hopefully can finish the job by Saturday. Chao! Going to shower and then dinner.
