Home sweet home

I am back home in Kuantan today. I had initially planned to stay till Sunday afternoon, but because of F1, I am travelling back to KL after the Easter Sunrise Service tomorrow morning.

I left KL at about half past 5 a.m. I like it! No cars on the road till I reached Kuantan just before 8 a.m. Moving forward, all trips home will start at 5 a.m. :) :) But be very careful at the new highway because at some parts, it is very misty. Quite scary, as if in heaven!

So mummy was in the garden when I arrived, singing and talking to her plants. NO my mother is not senile! To her and everyone else, its a garden .. beautiful garden. To me, its a jungle with mosquitoes that LOVE to bite me ;) I had a nap .. well not really a nap .. 3 hours knocked out. Mummy and I had lunch i.e. fish, vegetable & soup. Then we headed to the tyre shop to get 2 new tyres, before heading off to see grandma and also buy some merchandise from the salt fish shop.

At grandma's we had a few short Hainanese drama, with the main actress being rich aunt, supported by semi-blind aunt, hunched-back aunt and little aunt. Grandma was jus the prop. This is a daily scene. Hunched-back aunt prepared fried kuey-teow and "rat's-tail noodle" for lunch. She was busy folding hell-notes for the chinese version of all soul's day next week. She folded them into crowns and some other shapes, depending on the amount of the note.

For dinner, mummy prepared steamboat, with lots of fish & meat balls and vegetables. Papa likes vegetable too much. So at every meal, there is always lots and lots of vegetable. After dinner, we had a video call with Toby tobs and my sister. Toby tobs was so excited to see the rubber ducks his Ah Ma had bought for him. But he got a little scared and cried, when Ah Ma showed him a red chinese costume that she bought along with a few other clothings. He'll be wearing it when he's back here in June to celebrate his 1st birthday :)

I'll be going off to sleep soon. I've got a long day tommorrow. Hopefully I'll have photographs of F1 on my next blog or so.
