a post that is worth reading... I hope

Time flies. It's day 3 of CNY already? Wow.

I guess I'm just gonna write about my CNY, then.... (like anyone reads this anyway)

Unlike many other CHINESE New Years (where we stayed at my aunt's house OR where the whole IPOH GANG comes down to busy KL) this year, we went back - albeit it was a day trip.

Out of nowhere,  mummy told me about HOW LONG we used to take to get back. Wanna know? 6-8 hours. Wahlau wei. Yalah, no highway yet mah, that time. She told me HOW SHE USED TO BRING THE BASKET to put me inside. Hee :) And the milk bottle :) and of course all things necessary for a baby :) Haha. I knew I went back to Ipoh since I was small but didn't expect to be brought in a basket. LOL.

Heh, maybe that's why, the moment I reached 12 years of age, I stopped going back... for SEVEN years. Mainly because the school's workload is argh! Besides, yours truly is really LAZY when it comes to packing, especially when my mum's like: EH, wanna bring the black skirt or the blue skirt? I mean, aiyah... cincailah, any skirt will do. I mean, it's not like I'm staying there for a MONTH and MUST look NICE... unless it's somebody's wedding. Then suddenly, she's like... aiyah, blue one not nice ah. Take the black one. Sweat. LOL. Okay, I'm such a complainer. Haha.

 Got me thinking of one CNY where I brought my MATEMATIK TAHUN 5 textbook and exercise book, precisely because I had maths homework. Did it in the car. My cousin sat in the car along with his mum - my aunt. I think we were otw to another aunt's house... or is it,  to MY place? Hmm...



- FLASHBACK BELOW

Well, my cousin  saw my homework. LOL, he must have thought... eh, why I so rajin gila, one? Being my least favourite subject at school, I had trouble with the math problems. My cousin on the other hand was a natural math genius :) Apa lagi, he watched me do my math and constantly had to REMIND me to "CARRY UP" my ones or twos. I think at that time, the topic was PERPULUHAN. Even worse, I wasted a lot of time converting my fractions to a decimal number. Bah. I bet my cousin was thinking, Oi, WHY this girl so slow-one. LEMBAB, tahu tak? HAHAHA. But, he didn't say that-lah of course :) He taught me a little before I got tired and went to sleep with my mechanical pencil still in hand. XD



All that when I was 11...

And because I didn't go back for SEVEN long years, we grew apart. Sigh, as a kid, probably it was still fun to mingle around with them. But, after that, aduhai, PAISEH nak mampus... partly because I suck at my CHINESE dialects... and mostly because he's a GUY XD All we do now is just say HI, and when we are too shy, WAVE while SMILING. :) Power tak? :P

It took my dad and my aunt to convince me to go back in 2008. Yep, I did.

And I ain't complaining anymore since dad has agreed to do day trips. LOL XD

Whoa, I didn't know this would turn out to be a LONNNNNGGG post :P Thanks to me for rambling a lot.
