My weekend getaway trip
Saturday spent with the boyfriend and his family and we decided to pay a respect to his grandmum alter. Also to commemorate his grandmum first year death anniversary.
We woke up pretty early as to avoid the crazy jam and we succeeded as there werent many people in the custom. I guess its because we walked through TUAS checkpoint whereby not many Singaporean will choose to go.'
All our heavy eye bags while on the way to JB. Its not easy to wake up early, moreover on a weekend but we are praying hard that the traffic can be smooth. Prayers enlightened us though because we reached JB at 9,30am which we left the interchange at 8.30am.
Once we reached our bus terminal, we rung up his younger sister to drive us to their relative's house. The sister and his Bf came and drove us safely to the house. As we came a little late, they have already started their praying so both bf and I stood at the back with joss sticks on our hand.
After which, we have to wait for his ancestors to "agreed" on the food that we offered for them. It took a long procedure as we have to burn all the incense paper or rather they will regard it as ''MONEY''.
Something that enlightened me was how comprehensive his aunt was. She folded more than 100 of lotus for their ancestors. Every lotus has its own meaning. One lotus symbolizes purity of the heart and mind and represents long life, humility, honor and tranquility. Its a form of blessings for the descend.
Not only that, all his aunts have a great culinary skills and they whipped up all the dishes on the table for us, ensuring that each of us have enough food to eat.
Just by looking at the food on the table makes my mouth-watering! I'm feeling hungry even while typing.
Some entertainment for that day. Boyfriend's sister bought this cute little flurry flying squirrel and everyone was so addicted to this cute pet. They are so hyper active that they could crawl through you everywhere and anywhere. They grip you so tightly in order not for them to fall but hurt you on the other hand, But looking at the cute face, I don't even care about the pain.
Back to killing some time and the kids are being playful and came out different kind of games for us to participate. One will be TAUPOK whereby everyone lied pile and pile on each other. Poor BF, he was squashed by his cousins.
In the later afternoon, the siblings and I went to sing K at Mount Austin and we only paid RM 98 for 6 person. Not only that, we have all 3 hours for ourselves to go crazy on the microphone.
I was surprised that im not shy to sing infront of them and both his sisters and their bf sang very well.
Although we have 3 mics, we took turn to sing our favourite songs. Some of us even sing out loud without the mic. HAHA, the window pane can crack anytime too.
Happy camwhoring because we need to mark down such a good weekend together. A good bonding session for all of us (":
And last but not least to my precious that I always spend my weekend with. Never regret but thankful for your existence <3 Love you.
Till then.
