Happy Chinese New Year

Chinese New Year Holiday has passed by so quickly. The 2 days holidays were perfect! I did a lot of activities which mostly include eating!! Last Sunday, this was supposed to be the 1st day if CNY, at church, I was told by my sister Ivy that our grandfather (babai Nupat) has died. Many plans for home visiting but we decide to cut it into few less so that we would be able to go back to kampong to show our last respect to grandpa whom had suffer for the pass 10 years.
As usual my family likes to go visiting in one big group. The 1st house which we went to was my 1st cousin Kinyoi whom married a Chinese guy. Oh, she served mostly my favorite foods which I no need to elaborate here. The foods were perfectly decorated and served! I think I ate trice of my normal daily intake which made me full until that evening! Around 2PM, we went back home. Full and tired, I slept like a baby. The weather was sporting, cold and windy. We slept until 7pm. Later mom called around 7.30 inviting us to go back to Kampong with my brother, Andy. I agreed and they picked us up around 7.45PM in his Satria. Satria is perfect transportation to avoid jam, fast and for easy parking.
We arrived at grandpa home around 8.30PM. There were so many people and they were singing Hymns. I saw some familiar faces. They were my cousins and clos relatives, aunties and uncles! The service ended 10 minutes later and as usual, people would go and eat whatever was prepared on the dining hall. Around 12.00 midnight, we left for home. So tired!
The next day I woke up so early and yet it was a rainy Monday. Ton and his group came wound 8pm to build up a division so that my puppies could be control easily. It cost me RM480.00.. No discount ka Mr Yon? Around 2.30pm, wife and I went to check in at the Sheraton Hotel, where we had sweet memories and we want to treat it as vacation place. Hey we got married there, OK. Last time we were given the airport view but this time, wffe preferred city view. So we got a floor 7 room facing the city. Dolin and her family came later, with my brother and they proceed to the swimming pool. I came later.
Around 7.30pm, wife and I needed to get ready because Jethro is picking us up to visit my cousin Jamie. Many funny things happen while we were on the road. I could not mention it here due to some sensitive issue, just read this: Malaysian is considered guilty unless proven he is NOT! In other country, they are NOT GUILTY unless proved guilty! We arrived at Jamie's residency and immediately being fed with sumptuous foods too. We chat and talk and eat and update each other at the same time. Hafiz was always be the hottest topic while next were the government issues. We left around midnight and I was so damn tired. Thanks cousin for the hospitality. Jethro sent us back to the hotel.

JFTSO Blogging!

Yeah.. long time already I did not update the blog… How I wish the word busy never was appear in the dictionary. I have changed my job description and it makes me more occupied with office work. Being a process engineer is not so much different than an equipment engineer. Ah, leave work load alone. Let this blog clean from any work load story. Leave work load alone. Let it be where it supposed to be!
Last Saturday I was thinking having a small makan2 with my little family. How I miss them! Yeah, I miss each and every one of them!!! Being a husband I have more duties. One of it is to kill the housefly, eat what ever my wife cook, bathe the puppies, lit up the mosquito’s coils, say hi to the neighbor, pray for the meals and so on! Not to say wife have no chores, infact she has MORE heavy chores than me. Enough said, so last Saturday, after our music practice, I informed family to have an eating session at my place in the evening. The 1st to come was my parents and my sister Ivy and her family, Oh lily, Dresden’s sister also came. They were beyond control until they both needed to be tied far form each other. Later, my sister Doli and her family came. Too bad both of my brothers didn’t turn up, so they missed the fun and the eating session that we had.
While my parents and aunty Tookies and my brother in-law were having coffee after meal at the patio, the rest of us were busying watching DVD about a dog by the name of Marly. Oh it was such a nice story which made my sister Dolina cried like a baby. Ayoyo.. Sorry sis, no tissue that night. Around 11.30, every body went off! I had a great time watching Marly. Did I cry? Yes I did. Huhuhu…It’s so painful to keep the cry instead, just let it go…But I cry little bit only lah… hehehehehe…

This weekend is the Chinese New Year and I’m really looking forward to this long vacation. Just imagine next week I only work from Wednesday till Friday. Wah… Honeymoon again.. hahahaha… I have not taken any leave since 1st of January and my carry forward leave is mounting! I thin after February, my leave remains 32.5 days. After March, 34 days and after May, HR will send an email so that I should apply for leave! Huhuhu.. I think let’s wait for the e-mail so that my new boss will be alert that I have many leaves and let he’s the one to ask me to take leave.. Hahahaha…

I receive sms from my friend Melcome telling me that he’s flying over to US. Wow, America, be prepare because a Sarawakian is coming to town. I don’t know how much strict the airport condition now even after the whole precautious step taken, there were still escapees! Scary! I hope there are no rules and regulations saying flyers must be checked thoroughly or flyers fly in nude! Hahahaha… I think I had enough of flying… What does it mean??? It means, maybe I should go tour on cruise or driving though it would not bring me far until US, hmmmmm, am I sick of flying? Believe me. Imagine this, you are located at the far end of a long tube, big enough to carry about 300 peoples, imagine those crowds whom sit infront and behind and on your left and right. The limited space and air makes me uncomfortable what else to stretch your body in the 12 hours journey where you have to change your time according to theirs and then when you arrive there, everything looks so differently and the weather and climate change too. Oh, I’ve experience all those things and I personally not to prefer but if it is a must, I’ll go, provided it’s FOC!
