Ok, so I've made a deal with myself. Only 15 minutes to come online to blog about today. Nothing else. After that, it's back to work. I've planned my work and gonna work my plan. Yup!
Today was just awesome. Went to Teluk Intan for a short visiting trip. Sort of a small road trip as well. Turned in late last night cos we siblings just couldn't stop talking hehe. A good 'siblings bonding time' that was, until appa came and switched off the lights. Am pretty sure it was past 2am. Had to wake up early.
Left at 9.30am...delays. Took the old road instead of the highway. Still regretting that we forgot the camera :( Beautiful sceneries...paddy fields stretched out as far as the eyes could see, oil palm plantations, friendly people just mingling with each other worrilessly (am not sure if that is even a word :p)..it was just beautiful. Not to mention, it was surprising to see a small town that crowded. Probably cos the school holidays just begun.
We headed for our relative's house. They had no idea we were coming. That's how we like it. So that no one waits for us...expectations...arriving on time...Very impromptu. Oh, the joy on their faces when they saw us...priceless! Especially when they saw appa, since appa had stayed with them for a bit when appa was much younger. They insisted we have lunch. I guess our convincing skills aren't as good as theirs (we had already taken lunch before coming in!).
They were living in the estates previously but had moved out after uncle retired. Appa suggested that we go back to the old place and we did. It was an awesome trip. We drove into the oil palm estate, accompanied by a steady narration of history of the place and the people who used to be there. Apparently, anything left behind by the people who worked there was not removed as it had historical value such as the word 'Registered Office' instead of 'Registration Office'. Pretty cool! Ah, if only I had the camera *sigh*
Then, we stopped at the middle of the estate...it was all quiet, calm, breathtaking. As uncle said, you would never find a life like that anywhere else. After being shown around, we stopped by a bakery where we could see how bread was being made. Saw the huge ovens they use to make so many different types of bread. It was amazing!
We returned shortly after cos we had to rush back for my cousin's engagement. Tiring journey indeed! Plans changed of course. Amma just told me that grandma had made idli for dinner :9 So, amma and appa would be leaving for Sg. Siput in a while. We'll be going to grandma's house as I've still got some unfinished work for college tomorrow.
Got to get ready now. bYe!!
