Lack of update, yes I know. Not the first time anyway. Haha. Blogging seems to have become less addictive for me. Geez.. This post is waaaaaaayyyyy over over due. But I am still gonna post it.
1-2 April
Anyway, while this blog was rotting away, my family and I made a trip down to Segamat, Malaysia to visit relatives and tomb sweep. It’s been ages since I’d seen my relatives back in Malaysia and so definitely I was quite excited about the trip. We first visited my uncles’ house and I knew I had lotsa clarification of identity to do. Haha.
‘’Are you both twins?'’ My uncle asked me in teochew. He was refering to my sis and I. Apparently, everybody who hasn’t seen us(my sis and I) for a long time thought we were twins. And when I told him that we weren’t, another expected question came out from him was ‘’who is the elder one?'’ :\ That question has been asked too many times that I can expect it coming. Haha. My sister now has outgrown me vertically and probably looks around the same size as me so people thought that she was the elder one judging from the size. But hey, at least they didn’t ask whether am I a boy or a girl. xD Meaning they remember me as a girl since I last visited them. Lol.
Actually, 2 years back when I went to visit another uncle of mine in KL he asked, ‘’Are you girl or boy?'’
Well, I can’t blame him for asking that. That was the first time he met me so yea. Also, my sense of dressing=male dressing, my hairstyle=male hairstyle. So obviously he will ask that question. But, I am not a bung.
My mum, sister and I stayed in a hotel while my grandma and my father stayed in my relative’s house due to some security reasons- My father was afraid that his new car might be stolen away. If you had seen the news, you would be scared too. So we got ourselves this so-called executive room which turned out to be quite trashy. The bathroom floor tiles were stained so disgustingly that you won’t want to bathe and do your business in it. The bathtub is gross, not that I was going to soak in it, but the shower head was right above the bath tub so, I had to step into it and bathe. BUT, thank goodness, there was a pair of slippers provided. PHEEEWWW… I should have taken photos of the room and the bathroom for proof and maybe for you to judge, but I forgotten. Pfft.
So anyway, eating was like our main activity there. But honestly speaking, the food ain’t as great as it was supposed to be. We ate bak gu teh twice and it sucked both times although the second time was much better. The first time: The soup tasted like sugar soup please! I have no idea how much sugar/MSG they’d added into the soup. The rice was some yam rice and I didn’t like it. I should have requested for white rice. Kns Actually, the second time isn’t totally about the food, but about the eating place. It was filthy. Totally ruined my appetite. They didn’t clean the tables after the customers left and hence invited so many unwanted guest-Housefiles. Yucks… So when we got there, I saw the whole table with spilled soup, soya sauce, bones and all sorts of leave over food. Really disgusting. After I finish eating, I can conclude that the bak gu teh store that my family frequents still taste better. There are much to complain about the whole eating environment but maybe that’s enough and I should shut up. HAHA. Again, I didn’t take a picture of the filthiness because I was just too shocked.
But it wasn’t all bad. The first night’s dinner was kinda good. The tables and chair was kinda clean. Haha. I really liked the mango blended I ordered. It was really blended with real mango and they actually served it with a generous amount of freshly cut mango on top of it. Awesome. One of the dish we ordered was kinda special. I’d never eaten something like that. The guo tiao in the dish was crispy! Maybe they fried it before they poured the gravy over it. Hmmm…
Alright, no pictures. I am lazy to load them. Hehe.

6-9 April
I went for Freshman Orientation Camp. It was organised by the Sports Club and it rocked. Totally didn’t regret going for it and I didn’t leave half way! If not, I might have regretted. But that means I missed the rugby matches. Oh well…
Night walk was the best activity out of all. Before we went for it, our camp leader, Shawn/Shaun/Sean(how do you spell your name?) told us stories about the sites that we were about to walk. I was freaking scared it was gonna be a solo walk but the good news came pretty soon that we were walking in 4s and 6s. So I ended up walking in a group of 6. Then right before we started, S/S/S told us supersitious things. Which in the end was all because they wanted to scare us (The instructors were situated along those sites to scare us). What the fish…
Anyway, we had a shim’s night… blah blah…
I don’t feel like blogging anymore. I’m done, ciao.
