Listening to: Dui Bu Qi by Jay Chou
Sorry for updating almost a month later. I rarely get to use my PC and I've been sick recently (still am actually). Anywho, I won't be posting many pictures. If you wanna take a look at more pics, just access my Facebook account!
So we left for Taiping at 7 AM in the morning. By the time we reached Taiping was around 10 AM+.
Cacat brother.
We were starving when we reached Taiping so we decided to stop by our favorite coffeeshop in Taiping, Prima. I had
kuih pai ti, awesomenesssssss. Satisfied one craving.
While at the coffeeshop, I caught sight of this adorable baby which did not look like a girl nor a boy. The baby looks more like a girl, so I shall call the baby
her/she. Every time I smiled at her, she would start smiling and laughing and gurgling which was oh-so-adorable! But when anybody else from my family smiled at her, she wouldn't show a single reaction.
This picture was taken by me and as you can see, she ain't smiling because I wasn't smiling at her (it was difficult to maintain eye contact with her and smile while I was trying to take her picture)...
... and here's a picture of her smiling when I was smiling at her! The photographer, was of course, my sister, Hannah. Isn't she just the cutest?! And it went on for almost half an hour. Her grandma kept trying to feed her food but she kept on turning around to look at me. Zomfg so adorable

Camwhoring in Taiping.
I actually forgot that my relatives knocked down the old wooden house and started building a new house since last year. When we entered the Green House area, I suddenly remembered that we had a new house to stay in while in Taiping. Boy was I excited!
Tadahhh! Our new house! Not literally ours, but, whatever. My jaw dropped. I didn't expect it to look this modern. That little boy in yellow is my cousin, Gary. And that emo girl in... dark colors is Hannah. Once we entered the house, my eyes started to tear. The incense coming from the prayer altar was stuck in the house because of the low ceiling. We never did have that problem when we were livin' in the old wooden house. I started to miss it.
My first aunt was folding those papers for prayers. Hannah got the hang of it in less than half an hour. I gave up after an hour of trying.
After unpacking everything, I noticed my cousin, Justin, using the laptop.
Yes, internet! I walked back into our room, grabbed the laptop, and started using it :D
Later on, my 9 year-old cousin, Gary appeared, showing me his Gameboy SP.
His younger brother, 7 year-old Darren wasn't as naughty as last year. Nic had to hold him down just to take a picture. Poor Darren is camera shy.
This is Terry the Shih-Tzu. I guess he is getting more attention compared to the past few years when Goldie was around. Goldie is my grandma's hybrid Terrier + Pomeranian and is allowed in the house. I never really did like Goldie because she's a grumpy old bitch. I was quite happy when she died (ho ho). Soon after, Lucky the Pomeranian passed away too. I bet Terry was happy. I always caught Lucky sodomizing poor Terry ):
And at last, the long-awaited reunion dinner! Nic and my other 3 cousins escaped before I could take a picture of them eating together.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First DayIn a blink of an eye, it was already Chinese New Year. I woke up to the sound of Gary's shouts in my room. Gary and Darren were already begging me to wake up.
My dad bought them chewing gum..
CNY calls for red clothing!
Somehow everyone was toying around with this pink ribbon. I don't know where it came from.
And then it was time for the family portraits. I only managed to snap a few though. The only people missing were my first uncle and my cousin, Andrew. They're staying in the US. But at least I managed to talk to them on Skype.
My family!
Grandma's grandchildren. Little, I know ):
Sorry :p
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Second Day
We went to Taiping Sentral. Hannah was eager to check out the indoor rollerblading rink. Mum said going there would be a bad idea. It's like, the only shopping mall in Taiping. Whaddya think?
We went to Oldtown. Like usual, I ordered my mee jawa which didn't taste as good as the ones served in the KL branches. But I guess it's 'cause of the crazy crowd.
Don't ask me why my dad likes to act like a retarded kid.
When we reached home, I took a nap and woke up to see my sister going through some photos. Being the inquisitive me, I headed over to her bed and started going through the photos. They were photos of grandma's grandchildren (basically us okay) when we were younger.
Nic and I. I haven't changed much, I guess.
Justin, Nic and Hannah (awww).
More pictures in my Facebook!Later on, my last uncle's friends came over to gamble.
In half an hour, he won my parents money - RM300.
Look at all that cash!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Third DayI had to wake up early in the morning to follow my second aunt, her boyfriend, and Ah Ma to the Lake Garden. After years of always going back to Taiping, I have never walked around the lake before. So this time, I decided to discover the wonders of Taiping's Lake Garden.
I am still amazed at the sight of these trees which are at least a century old.
We didn't do much after our trip to the lake gardens. I went home, took a nap again, and started to Facebook and watch TV. Later at night we played with fireworks. I was busy trying to do light art.
A few dragon eggs exploding.
Light art isn't easy. I had to try more than ten times just to get one perfect character/alphabet.
Denise.
Loves.
Zekey.
Gary doing some circle in the air.

Fourth DayThe day we left Taiping ):
Gary chasing us. Weeee~
The first time my mum came back with my dad to Taiping, he told her it was a space station. She believed him. It's a cement factory.
That's it for now!
PS: Baby I need you sayang my throat for me ):

At Sakae Sushi!
I have never been to Sakae Sushi before. We order through this! Service is quick and efficient but food quality was not really up to my expectations.
Our first round of sushi.
Baby was emo-ing me this time ):
Time to go home! Hugs and kisses :3 (I look weird, sorry)
