Back in Time: 2011 (January - March)

Yah, yah, I have been missing in action from here for a while but that does not mean I give up blogging lah! Am just bogged down with lots of work and personal matters to attend to before the end of the year and before my next travel date! Hahaha!

The once a month travel is still a ritual this year....till Dec 2012! But if the world does not end then, the ritual will still continue for the rest of my life, I guess!

Hmmm, many bloggers shared their achievements in 2011 and I guess I do not want to be the odd one out! Hahaha! So, let me share with you too lah, what 2011 had given to me!

Here goes!

Where did I go? If you are a follower of my blog, you will find that end of December 2010, I was in Cameron Highlands. As usual I had shared my experiences there and guess what? One reader thought that I can connect her with another reader via the comments and ta-da! They were connected via the Lion Girl Blog! Yippy! Really felt good about that! Hmmm.....

Okay, really, here goes for year 2011!

In January 2011, dear cousin and I joined dear nephew and family including his mother in law to Pantai Remis, Perak. The purpose of the trip was to buy some fishes for the Chinese New Year but we ended up empty handed! Oh, never mind, we had fun company to make up for that! Sad to say, that trip was the last trip we had with dear nephew’s mother in law. She was diagnosed brain tumour and within three months we lost her, peacefully.... May her soul rest in peace....

January 2011 too was the first outing we had joined GFrenz after being accepted as members there! Dear brother TT organised the Teluk Bayu floating chalet 3D2N stay which was codenamed FL1! We had so, so, so much fun!! Really an unforgettable GFrenz Get Together! It got dear cousin and I looking forward to the next get together in April 2011! Big smiles!!

In the same month, dear cousin and I learnt the difference between liquor, wine and beer from dear buddy’s hubby! Sure was timely for dear cousin to pick up the drinking tips, I’d say! Ya lor, she declared herself a social drinker just after the lesson! Hahaha! Yum Seng! Higs!!

February 2011 was a fun month because so much happened; dear cousin and I playing baby sisters to dear nephew’s girls! Hahaha! And then, dear nephew got his nickname as “Siew Yoke Loh” when he showed off his skill in roasting pork the DIY way! Yeay! Simply delicious! In fact, it was better than some roast pork on sale! Bravo! Let’s do it again this CNY 2012?? Huh??

The same month was the month which my dear mah-jong buddy’s twins was announced as top scorers for their STPM results! Their faces were plastered all over the television news and nationwide newspapers! Suddenly, dear buddy became a “sing ma” (star mother)! Wow! It was wonderful to share their family joy! If I have a child, I would need star mother’s secret recipe of her twins’ success! Hahaha!

In Mar 2011, I resumed trekking at the Ketumbar Hills. Yup! Gotta train for the Mount Kinabalu climb in June 2011! Monyet King lor, he invited and I had to say “Yes”! Haizzz....

And I never regretted the revisit to Ketumbar Hills! Dear cousin and I discovered so much beauty within which ended up with dear cousin buying a DSLR camera and I, a “mini” DSLR! Hahaha! We fell in love with photographing the nature! Simply awesome!

After all the fun, Mar 2011 was also a sad month. It was the same month Japan was hit by earthquake and tsunami! What a shock to the world! What a shock indeed! That disaster got me believing the world will definitely end in Dec 2012!  :( 

That disaster got dear cousin and I more adventurous because we made an unplanned drive from Bukit Tinggi to Bentong! Only two of us, mind you, and that was really the most daring thing two of us did alone! But it was fun! And thrilling too! Glad we had done it!

Want to know more?

Watch out for my April to December 2011 happenings!

I had never imagined doing what I had done and I had done it all in 2011!

Hahaha! Suspense kan?? Watch out for them!

Coming soon!!
