Had a near perfect weekend!
The planning for celebration of our beloved paternal grandma’s
90+ birthday started as early as 2 months’ ago, uncle Nang surveyed in our
whatsapp group for expected turn up – everyone (most) responded in favour and
in double time! So he proceeded to book a minsu (which housed us during CNY
2014) and further made restaurant bookings for lunch and dinner.
My dad has 5 siblings who gave me and my siblings many cousins,
nieces and nephews. Alas, we do not stay near each other. The only times we
meet up are during special occasions such as CNY, wedding banquets and grandma’s
birthday! So it was a really rare opportunity that I was super eagerly looking
forward to! Plus it was gonna be babywyx’s first encounter with her paternal
relatives!
The drive to Kluang on Sat afternoon took us 4.5 hours!! 1.5
was spent at customs and another 45 mins of slow traffic along NS highway!
Finally reached the minsu at 5.30pm - The Ng family was the usual boisterous lot,
there was hardly a corner lacking in chatter, laughter and noise. Amazed to see
my nieces and nephews so tall already! Doesn’t seem so long ago that I was
carrying them in my arms / holding their hands to cross the road! Instead, the
teens are now fully independent, noticeably vainer (nieces frequently brushing
their long hair) and… (sad way of growing up) own a smartphone each (not to
mention which keeps plentiful selfies/wefies).
Babywyx was the subject of everyone’s attention. Being at
that age that she is now, she is wary of strangers and the new environment and as
a result, spent more time observing than physically moving about. Finally it
was her bedtime and boy, she unleashed all her unspent energy and must have
scoured every square inch of the king size bed, crawling and rolling all over! Much
thanks to wifey for coping with babywyx for more than an hour before she
finally slept! =D

Of course, wishing grandma good health and long life!! It was
heartening to see her in pretty good shape! A quality weekend spent with my
favourite people and my favourite food (Cin Cin restaurant, RM1 nasi lemak,
local curry puff and soon kueh, tangkak beef noodles).
