Just return from Malaysia not too long ago. Done all my stuff before I officially online to check my mails and all the others micelleneous stuffs. Guess who I bump into when I was at the Singapore Custom?? My secondary school DM, Mervin. Wow~ I was so shocked to see him, and what's more, he was the one who called my name. Well, in secondary school, people know me as my chinese name, so he called my chinese name, which I was like "huh, who calling me?" He slim down a lot, and of course, become more charming already. Hee, good for him. Haha. No more the fleshing Mervin I've known. Haha.
Another coincidence. It was with Karen. Yes, Karen from the flute section. What a fate that she see me waiting for bus to Singapore while she was in the jam inside her sister's 'xiao mi feng'. I was quite shocked to see her sms saying the color of the top and bottom I wore. Haha. When I was on board the bus, I look out of the window and I saw a yellow car (really prominent, no wonder your sister say at night can see, really leh.. Haha..) which I'm pretty sure it's their car. The jam was bad adnd they were stucked there. When I was home then just reached Singapore. Well, maybe that's the bad part of having a car, will get caught in a jam.
This year's trip to Malaysia was a fruitful one. Why?? Coz I got to see something so beautiful, that is fireworks. Yes, fireworks.
In Malaysia, one thing good is people there are all easy-going and especially friendly, which makes me feel more natural there compared to me visit houses in Singapore, i.e. my dad's family side. They are all very generous to you, especially when they know that you go once a year, they will offer you the chance to play the fire-crackers without any hesitation.
In Singapore, you will never hear a single 'boom' sound coz putting any fire-crackers in Singapore is illegal. In Malaysia, even when you sleep, you will hear sounds of fire-crackers. Despite the papers mentioning that they will fine people who put fire-crackers, there are still people putting.
What's more? I saw fireworks. really fireworks. Although not those big ones like we see in Singapore during countdowns and special occasions, in Malaysia, they have fire-crackers which shoots into the sky and the outcome is like the fireworks in Singapore. The best thing is, NO ONE BLOCKS YOUR VIEW. You can stand outside the house and watch all you like, with views so clear.
I had quite a few pictures and a video of the burning of fire-crackers. When I have the chance, I'll upload it here for all of you to see. Yeah!!
Tomorrow, might be going out with friends to window shop if I can't get to go to my friend's house to 'bai nian'. This year, like quite no life, no people's house to go. Sadz.
