Man, was it a eye opener to go back to malaysia where rules seem 2 be there to be broken and corruption seemed to rule >< But hey malaysia is much more then just that.
Started on a train trip to lapis(somewhere in malaysia near segamat) with Papa , jie jie , Agnes , sharon aunty(Mum's younger sister) and her husband Zhong he uncle.
MOm couldn't make it due to unforseen circumstences

Took the 9:30am train there and reach around 1-2pm. Went to the kao fu house built of wood and Zinc roof =x Kampong kind of housing type. Used 2 went there quite frequently last time during holiday & festival and miss the lifestyle there =/
Swinging by the swing by the moonlight with my cousins and listening to the cricket's songs. Dog mellowing in the dusk and frog's Rib Bit song =x Greet the more prominent figure of the house (kao fu , Ah po and some others) Soon we set off for the wedding feast held at a "resturant" near the place.

Honestly the food was great and i must say the service was quite ok as well (Dun expect good service but fast and efficient service(food clear and serve quickly , pour drink on time etc)Drank some beer(wanted Hard liquor or red wine but dad say "no" only beer so i had to listen =) He ask me stop then i stopped right away) Entertain by Karaoke perfomed by the invited group and always a few song by guest who "dian"(dedicate) the song and went up 2 sing it.

Even the groom went up and sang 1 song. My cousin (jing xin) and his husband(groom) went to pour the champeign and cut the wedding cake. The usual old YAM sheng =x + extra sweet word from the host(wa her hokien ji tao power =x)
Happy for my cousin and hopes they have a happy marriage ahead!!!

Admist the meal, daddy spoke to Alex uncle and aunty alice (MOM childhood relative who used to be my mom bridesmaid wor!!! haha .... i still remember a bit but it was all 2 vague =( well they suggested we went back to KL with them ). Soon me and my sister found out we were headed for KL with them and departed from Agnes , aunt sharon and zhong he uncle.

We had a ride back to KL and went to shop at 1h+ at great valley(Omg malaysia biggest shopping mall)
spent like only 1h+ there and shop like only a portion of the north mall(It is like suntec city except there are no 4 tower but 4 part of the mall (North East South WEst and many storeys).

Went to buy bus ticket and we kenna TOK(Chop as in Cheated) by the bus agency man. Ringget 45 per person for the bus trip back to singapore (WTF MAN $20+ each just to get back from KL to singpore) and the no of hours was not even fixed. So many factors and yet we had 2 buy the ticket cause all the rest were sold out for bus ticket for the next day headed to singapore.Pissed but what 2 do, we forked out the money and brought the tix.

After that, we proceed to Alex's corner to have our dinner(Alex corner was where "extraordinary" pratas were first discovered.Order cheese pratas and plain pratas and the rest order their share but jie was having grastic so she didn't order only shared the cheese prata wif me =/

Meanwhile, the televsion screen there was showing the charity shield match between Man u and Arsenal which end 0-0 at half time.

We left at half time to bring my sister to a food court to have light dinner like porridge. The food court was a open air 1 and there was a extra large screen and i mean LARGE showing the match. Saw 3 goal of the 4 goal of the match there =x
Order fishball noodle for my jie jie as there were no porridge there and watch the match as she ate

Arsenal scored first and Alan smith equalise with a beautiful volley but thing were not to be for Man u as arsenal REYES scored the 2nd goal to bring the scoreline to 2-1.
Soon, my sister "finish" on her fishball soup and we went back to Alice and Alex condo to have our nite rest. (I really treasure condo in singapore cause i saw how "good" condo are over there =x)Saw the prize presentation and the final scoreline which was Arsenal 3 Man U 1.

They are really nice host and we had our shower before bathing. Had a great nite rest and look 4ward to the next day =)
