Back From Malaysia

Works of God Weekend

So, I was away in Malaysia this weekend for my grandmother’s 80th birthday. The 5 hours drive up both ways were uneventful, except for the fact that having 3 drivers in the car meant that there were ALWAYS back seat drivers.

I’ve not been back in Malaysia for 4 years I think. Might be more. Most of my mom’s relatives are there, save for my grandmother, and my uncle’s family. More than 60 people in the family and I had no idea who was who. Everytime I go back, it seems the family just keeps getting bigger!

My grandmother had a wonderous time. She had gone back earlier to spend more time with her 4 brothers, 2 sisters and her daughter’s family. From what I heard, she spent most of the 6 days before playing mahjong from dusk to dawn!

Anyhoo, the most memorable moment for me was when my grandmother posed for a picture with all her siblings. We’re all very much aware that this might be the last time we have all her siblings together, seeing that one of her brother is very very weak and sickly. Also, I am thankful that we did this before my grandmother becomes less aware of her surroundings. Her mind is slipping and she’s becoming more and more stuck in her own world.

I am glad to be back home though. I miss my Snowy (my friend came and took care of her. What a wonderful friend!), my room, my bed, my computer, etc. Also, I just missed the organised nature of Singapore… as compared to the messiness and confusion of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

10October2007

Welcome Home!

I’m home! Sorry for the lack of updating about it till now. I’ve been so exhausted I didn’t even want to play games on my computer (which is rare).

I got back Tuesday midnight Singapore time (Tuesday noon MI time). My flight was good, as good as it can be. I did score empty seats next to mine from Chicago to Japan and Japan to Singapore. That is AMAZING!!! I could sprawl out and stretch. Made the flight so much easier.

We left Chicago late by 2 over hours. We were on the runway going to take off when we had to go back to the gate because of a problem in the cargo hold. That took over an hour than getting back in line to take off took another hour. So what was supposed to be a 2.5 hour layover in Japan turned into a short 30 minutes layover. I did manage to go eat my unagi sushi though. YUMMMMMYYYYYY!!!

Yesterday, I got up obscenely early (for me) at 6 am. Oh the joys of jet lag! My brother had taken leave for 2 days to spend time with me so we went out to eat lunch with my mom then we went looking for furniture for me. New wardrobe and desk. Scored them at good sale prices. My wardrobe is coming tomorrow! Yippie!! No more living out a suitcase! Then we came home and I did what I should not have done if I wanted to get over jet lag faster… sleep the entire afternoon to evening away. I was THAT exhausted!

Well, I’m off to go apply to take an exam to transfer my driver’s license. I have to apply, then STUDY (because its a tough test. No test in Singapore is ever easy) and then 2 months later go take the test.

See ya!!
