Continued...
The wedding dinner turned out nice, talked quite abit to my 23 yr old cousin. Haven't seen him for the longest time. His sisters (my cousins) are all grown up and one of them has to serve Malaysia's National Service, how screwed for girls to join the army. Noticed this very pretty lady sitting in the groom's family table. Awwww man. So through marriage, I've gotten a rrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeallllyyy pretty relative, she's my father's sister's daughter's husband's whoever.
Sunday started off with Dim Sum at this really nice Dim Sum place somewhere in KL. Food was good and we had about 15 people in our group. My aunties, aunty's husband, the cousins and the cousin's husband and children. I'm already hating the english way of naming relatives, so general. Then, there was Times Square, lots of shopping and eating. It's amazing how huge the shopping mall was. It took like 5 hours to get through everything. Dinner was Bak Kut Teh, Malaysia's Bak Kut Teh got lots of ingredient's in the soup and it tastes alot better than Singaporean ones.
Walked around the Pasar Malam at night, it's called Chi Chang Jie in Chinese, it's supposed to be Chinatown. All the stalls were selling pirated stuff of some kind. Quite sad, but we did eat Fried Fuk Kin (Hokkien) Noodle that my cousins claim is the top 4 in the whole of KL. Fuk Kin Mee is the Tze Cha stall kind, the black soy sause type. And of course it was great!
On Monday, we had lunch at this Steam Delicacy stall, everything is steamed and their steamed fish is the most popular. I love steamed fish and steamed everything. Then it was the coach ride back home. Well, there was a traffic jam AGAIN! and this time there was a major accident in the other side of the road. There was a coach without the front wind screen that flipped and lay sideways. A pile of scrap metal that looked a bit like a Proton Sega. And a chain of collided cars. And i think i saw something covered with a white cloth, i assume that was the deceased driver of the Proton (???). It was terrible to see such a sight, Malaysian drivers are screwed and their driving damn gangster, haiz...
Home Sweet Home, but wait! The adventure doesn't end, there was no water supply to bathe with and it wasn't only us. With some kaypohing skill and some kaypohs, I discovered that the main water pipe supplying water to the surrounding blocks was punctured when a contractor was doing piling works on top of the pipe. We had to collect water from water rationing trucks with pails and that was not really nice However it was a good experience and got lesson learnt. So the lesson learnt, if you are on the way back from KL, and if you really really think you need a bath, maybe, just maybe, you wouldn't be getting it...
