Holiday season over. School starts

The last holiday was the best period i had in life.

The following saturday immediately after the papers, i joined sun tian's NUS classmates to a recreation game of badminton which among them, i only know sun tian and jaste. Nonetheless, all, including me, are friendly people and i gotta know the others such as wing, kiat siang, boon, calvin, jacky and many more.

A handful of them are enthusiastic type and we have a thursday slot too. Wing, Kiat Siang are regulars, joined by xiuli, mei min, jaste and me. As part of my vibrant holiday plan, I decided to join them every thursday and weekends


The badminton team. (Please exclude the comments why did i look like i'm dancing)

Birthday was pretty normal this year round. Had the usual same person wishing me for birthday and thanks for that. Unfortunately, I still haven't get a any pictures from the photographer. As such, i can only post up pictures of this as part of our little-things-we-did-there.


Preparing for BBQ

By lek meng and raquel's blessing, i bought a Fred Perry polo tee with their gift voucher that cost original price at $189, but after a 20% discount, it was priced at $151.20.

Moving on from this, I was invited by Takeda to their corporate christmas party, along with my colleagues. This is the first time that i went to such an event as my last invitation with Accenture was tied up with work commitments, hence i was unable to attend.

The funny thing was that I was not informed that a tie was needed for that function and I was already outside at Causeway point serving my client's PC. I immediately went to search for a golden tie to suit with my black tie, in conjunction to the color theme (black and gold).

As i am usually not good with complimenting color of tops/bottoms with accessories, I bothered the nearby aunties and sales person asking for their views!! Unbelievable, and they are very very friendly in giving views and opinion and eventually i even asked the sales person to get staff discount for me after i had decided to get a particular gold color tie! hahaa..


Before the event start


Am i seeing wrong things that I am holding on to a cup of beer?!!


This is how i train my marksman for .38 revolver and mp5

That event was fun and i headed home forgetting to take off my tie and it looks silly in the bus. :(

Next programme up, half-annual LAN game party hosted by me, joined by pengxiang, clarence and mandy.


LAN game in operation


Supper during our LAN game break.


Clarence and Mandy.


Deer and me. hahaa.

The annually hosted christmas dinner by Madeline was graced by a handful people. Madeline and her boyfriend joined in subsequently, Shuoke, Zhonghan, Me and and and Yingjia (in order of lateness! haha)



The limelight was on shuoke with everyone also posing a very sudden photo take requested by madeline


Yingjia and me have something in common on our faces. haha =x


Ok, to rectify the above pictures before i get pound by yingjia.


The official group photo without madeline as she declined to join in. I really don't understand why they wanted to kneel down to take photo!!


The main highlight of this post is that I went to malaysia after 8 years of absence to visit my relatives of my mother's side. Gosh, they are really fun to be with. Females are pretty, the guys are handsome, the young ones are showing potential to be a very very useful person in the society. The old ones are getting wiser and showing their relaxed moods after their children are working and on their own!

Beware that of the photos as the relatives on my mother's side are really a lot.

We went there by coach and we arrived in KLIA at around 3.30 pm. My cousin fetched us from our drop-off point to her house. Technically, I had sat for the longest period of my life from 7+ am 4 pm. My butt, back ached as a result.

Dinner was really very nice prepared by my aunt. Almost comparable with my mother's level of cooking skills! Unfortunately, i was desperate for dinner and i didn't any photo of it.

We caught up with almost everyone flanking to my cousin's house on the 1st evening after dinner and we chit-chatted till late night.

We had bak kut teh for the next day breakfast. Legendary Klang Bak Kut Teh just really can't lose to the other places that i had ate. You guys reading this should head down there for just this and you will that singapore was selling rubbish. =x

My 2nd uncle treated me for durian with his 2nd daughter rushing joining in for durian fest.




My mother caught in action


My first jeans after 3 years. Just in time to collect from alteration to be wore to malaysia.


Prepared to go for reunion dinner

Reunion dinner in the night (please be reminded it's 8 years ago when we had one proper dinner like this)


Restoran Imperial, someway near to bukit tinggi.


An official souvenir presentation. I just love the key chain, probably because of my utmost desire to travel to australia.


Menu for the dinner.

Whole family of my aunt


Lastly, i forgot why i ended up taking the "loose" photo with them

Toured yet another coporate event with such a turn-out


Please look at the no. of cars at the background. Z4, skyline, GTR, Porshe, etc...

We were at The Mines shopping centre. Please dun ask me where it is.


My very very hyper-active cousin in the middle whom his sister on the left of the picture was pretty much fed-up of entertaining him! hahaa..


A japanese cuisine that cost RM500+++

Went massaging with my another cousin and my bro on our 2nd last day and it cost only RM50 =)

Did some window-shopping at Jusco of Bukit Tinggi but unfortunately bought nothing from there.


On our final night we were back to 2nd uncle's house for another round of gathering


A very sudden and random photo my bro wanted me to take.


Bro was playing the hyperactive cousin of ours.

Alright. Final hour of the trip. We were unfortunately unable to get hold of an afternoon ticket else we could have breakfast together.


My mum and her sister.

The same cousin that fetched us sent us off.


When i was in toilet =x


The very very last photo before we boarded the bus.


Still enjoying in holiday mood, I hastily arranged weekend trip to JB with Lek meng, Raquel, Caosheng and Hana. (Thanks CS for agreeing)




How could i give up on their Bak Kut Teh? But the one in Klang is still the best.


The aftermath of go-kart. It could be more fun if there were more people as we are the only group there. We were there too early.


Amazingly, passing by Old Town 3 times in Klang, i never have the chance to even step in Old Town restaurant. Only to satisfy my taste bud on my JB trip.

Holiday's over. School start! Work hard and smart!
