so im back from malaysia
CNY this year was pretty boring
though grandma got a pleasant supprise to see us appear at her door step
she was overjoyed with tears
visiting was purely the adults' affair and they just kept gambling
so the "kids" just watched tv and EAT
the people there make their own cakes and goodies
its really amazing, their standards are comparable to the ones in the stores back here
the first night was the best and most memorable
at 23.55, it was so noisy and everyone was out of their homes setting up their fireworks
it was a new experience since its banned here
second day visited a few houses and one of them is my rich uncle
his kids always have the latest gadgets and his house is huge
he gave RM200 this year, times are really bad, last year was like 500
my dad counted all my red packets for me, its around RM960 this year
too bad everythings going to the bank!
parents gave 500 each as usual. always with an extra 50 in one of the red packet
naph got it again! to think i was feeling lucky this year
spending cny in malaysia is quite typical
uncles and aunts will rattle on about how much you've changed
and remind you of your embarrassing childhood memories
my uncle even took out one of the old picture taken many years back
today naph, mum and i went to visit dad
his death anniversary is 5/5/91 and he was born on 6/2/63
im writting it here so it'll be engraved in my heart
i know you're watching over me


i got a LOT of nagging from my aunts for having a medium skin tone
ive heard enough about freckles and skin cancer

i forgot to commend on my STTTOOOPPID camera
i have no idea how that guy convinced me to buy
i set it on fireworks mode but it just couldnt take a good shot of the fireworks
either it SUCKS real bad or im just too "smart" to start using without reading the manual
