I’m Back……..!!!!
Monday, November 28th, 2005Hello hello!!!
I’m back from a great weekend at Melaka….. Usually it’s not all that great but this time it was…… why u ask? Cos….. I did so much in just 3 days & enjoyed it all too….. also cos ALL my cousins from my mom’s side were there…. which was usually not possible cos we never could arrange for it. But last weekend we somehow managed to do it also cos I’m only in singapore now & I get to go to Melaka more easily. Also cos my mom&sis r around so they too could join in the fun. Soooo many "ppl" (as Sha-lotte likes to call it)…..The house was fully packed… so packed that 2 people had to share 1 bed… hehehe… that was how PACKED it was…. I’m probably exaggerating when I say there were almost 40ppl in the houz. Hmmm… lemme count:
There was my fam, except Cia… so that makes 4.
Then there’s the S’pore family, which adds another 3.
Ah Ku & family, another 3.
Sar Yee & family, another 4.
Ah Yee + KuKong & not forgetting the owners of the houz, which adds another 6.
So altogether there were 20ppl…. Ha??? Only meh??? Seems like more….
There were 9kids altogether, including me… cos i’m under 18….. aiya… when u’re with younger cousins, u’re considered a "KID" so join join only la….
Hmmmmm…… 20 only meh?? Lemme re-think….*thinks hard* *scratches head*
Oh…..there were 22ppl…. plus when we went out for dinner, adds another 3….Mama, Kong-kong & the maid….then there was Tua Kim’s family, so add another 8?? Wow… it was so packed… packed until we almost wanted to check into a hotel… i mean, seriously, not likely u can squeeze 22ppl in one three-storey house….. but then, it was less than a day before Ah Ku & family + Mum, Dad & gin went headed back for KL….. & Sar Yee & family also went back so haizzzzz….. when they left, it became so quiet…. When Ah Ku & family, + Dad(the surprise), came, everybody went wild… including us kids who were still awake….. I think Sha-lotte & Kick-the-bell went to sleep oredi…. Then when most of us kids surrendered to go to bed, the adults were ALL up & laughing uproariously…… (I hope the spelling’s right)….. Wow… even I could hear them from the 1st floor….. They laughed & laughed & laughed from the moment Ah Ku arrived, around 2.35am till around 4am… Wow.. till when they came into the room, they were laughing their heads off… they had such a good time…. I couldn’t join in cos i was too tired. They conitnued laughing in the room & that woke me & lil Kick-the-bell up…… Then the lil Kick-the-bell, didn’t sleep for another 30mins. So since that one room was packed, all the daddies had to sleep in the living room on the ground floor… So kesian… they’re the drivers yet they sleep on the floor… well, there were only 2 lil boys so they couldn’t sleep there… us girls get priority cos we’re GIRLS…. hehehhee… It was all so much fun…. Ish ish ish… Then we went bowling, 3times….
On Friday, with Sha-lotte, Sha-maine, Sha-nisse, Boy-boy & Ginny.
Then when Becky arrived, we went again with her & Isaac the next day… So that makes 8 of us…..
Then on Sunday, when all the SOH’s have left, I went again with my cuzzie’s cuz….. Wow…. It’s like fully utilising ur energy… hehehe
Oh yea, then Sha-maine, Ginny, Myself & Kick-the bell organised treasure hunt for the lil monkeys… heehehe…. we call them lil monkeys cos they’re WILD….. so very-the-wild! Anyway, there were 2 groups & somehow our treasure hunts were ALWAYS a success but that night, one group completed it all while another jumped from here to there… so 1 out of two treasure hunts didn’t do so well…. I blame the KIDs…. they couldn’t wait… they had NO idea how HARD it was to make all the clues & activities in between…. Man!! It was hard…. & some more, no thank you from themm…. KIDS…. really!!!! They kept banging on our door & kept hurrying us. We kept saying wait! wait! u want it to be good or not??? *sigh*…. I blame Boy-boy…. the girls r usually not this impatient but then again we took 3 hours this time to come up with all the clues….. Plus this time we had double the number of kids to make the clues for… so OF COURSE it was hard… what do u think? so easy to make meh?? Even the real orgainisers for Treasure hunts take at least a week to do it right….*sigh* *sigh* *sigh*…..Then, the lil kiddies wanted to do one for us & we’re like, OK… Then while they were doing it, we took revenge!!! We started banging on their door but unfortunately, Ah Yee was sleeping… *sigh* so unlucky.. then we didn’t bother la… just leave them be & then the 3 of us continued to watch "The Sisterhood of the travelling pants" The movie was quite nice & interesting…. the guys in the movie were also not bad but I prefer the guy from Harry Potter. I think his name was Cedric?? He’s HOT!!!~~~ So, we decided to let them organise it & we’d just wait & see how long they take to do it. After an hour, they all came down but told us something something.. dunno dun remember but it sounded like they weren’t ready… anyway, I told Sha-maine that while they were doing for us, we’d just disappear or fall asleep then see how they’d feel…. Hahaha… Mean aren’t I? Well, sometimes u gotta take drastic measures to teach them a lesson… I mean, how can u stand or concentrate when someone keeps banging on ur door… It’s not like we can do MAGIC & instantly start the treausre hunt.. Sheeshhh… +We wanted to make it as hard as possible. Last time we did it, they took abt 20minutes to finish… Oh My Gosh!! This time, they took an hour. So that’s an improvement.
Well, That was my whole weekend in Melaka. We all went WILD in Melaka…. Even until Becky & Ginny were leaving… The kids kept waving & shouting nonsense…..while Uncle Ah Wah was singing some song…. I forgot what it was.. I think it was "I will follow you……." cos that was after watching Sister Act in Heeren Street after our scrumptuous lunch made by Kong-kong.
We all were trying to say BYE… then it hit me… I started singing Sound Of Music’s "Good Bye, Farewell"
Hehehehe… & the kids, well, they somehow knew it too & were singing along… so I hope Becky didn’t feel so sad that she was going off so soon… I sang & they sang… with all our HEART & SOUL… hehehhee…
That was just one of the crazy parts of that Weekend!!! *phew* that was a really long blog… Hope u all have the time to read it… hehehe… btw, Sha-lotte, I still owe u 2 ice-creams…. I’ll give it to u in December when I visit again… Bye ya’all… Happy browsing…!!!
Mwuakkkkzzzzzzz…..
