M'sia Trip

I had an eventful Good friday's weekend.

Shopping Spree!
  • Bought 2 sets of "The Jewel in the Palace" DVDs because they were on a great sale. Decided I wanna give them away as presents
  • Bought 2 DVDs for myself
  • Bought facial masks at a great bargain, after I had successfully negotiated with the staff to do a goods exchange for my cousin
  • Bought 2 new designer's clothes after an afternoon of window shopping
I ate, ate and ate...
  • Had a sumptuous dinner at a restaurant
  • Had Bak Kut Teh for breakfast with my grandfather, bonded with him, and in the process, learnt something about my dad which I wasn't aware of
  • Had the famous Melacca's chicken rice balls, which I had been craving them for years
  • Had a waffle which I honestly feel it's much better than Prima Deli's
  • Celebrated my grandfather's birthday. There was a buffet catering, but all I can recall is my red egg, which I had been craving for some time.
  • Went night market and had curry fish balls, satay chicken and keropok (damn nice!)
  • Had Bak Kut Teh for breakfast again with my relatives, but at a different stall
I charmed my relatives with my skill sets =P
  • Taught my cousin how to do speed reading
  • Taught another cousin how to watch out for timing to bet in Casino
  • Taught 2 relatives a bit of memory skills. Felt like I was leading a preview on Power Memory Coaching Program =P
Exchanged news with my relatives
  • Exchanged updates/ gossips with my relatives
  • Yup, I got brainwashed by my cousin that I really should go K.L. despite what others claim that it is not safe
I paid respects to my ancestors
  • Went tomb-cleaning and paid respects to my great grandparents and my grandmother
I realized that I could read people really well...
  • Not that I can't already read people, but I realized how much I've grown when I started to feel all the pain spots and needs of each relative. It was both amazing and kinda spooky.
Caught up with my readings
  • Managed to borrow a book on personality reading from my cousin, and completed reading it!
  • Completed another 2 chapters of Dao De Ching. I somehow feel I'm taking forever to finish that book.
Had my 1st time...
  • Quite an adventure to take a chartered bus alone for my 1st time... but I didn't like the experience of squeezing with people on the bus all the way from Larkin to JB custom, and JB custom to Singapore's custom!
  • I bumped into a really nice Malay father and daughter at Larkin interchange who looked after my belongings and smiled at me when they left.

I had an eventful weekend. Now that I'm back, it's back to work again...
