History Repeats

I was raised in a family of five, where i have 2 very bright brothers. My elder brother, KY and my younger brother Win Sern. I was the middle one who always gets into trouble. KY will always bully me and Win Sern being mommy's pet always get me into trouble.


The 3 TEOHs

Back like almost 9 years ago, my elder brother decides to go to US for his degree. I remember we were all there to bid him good bye. It never occure to me that i will feel the missing portion if he's gone. I even feel happy thinking that finally the one who use to bully me is finally going away.

After spending sometime there at the airport he finally went on the plane. Me and the rest of the family went home and then it started to hit me. The house suddenly feels so empty. No one to fight with me for the sofa, no one to debate with me what channel to watch. I then went to the room and cried.

I am always proud to have him as my brother who's now staying in KL working his ass off. Always looking forward for his visits. Even my friends will see it from the look of my face, how happy i will be everytime he's coming back.


My beloved brothers.

Today history repeats itself. My little brother is leaving for Kelantan to join USM there. Being the most obedient of all he's no doubt the most protected among the 3 of us. We went for breakfast this morning before i drop him at the bus station. Spending some alone time with my little brother.

Hoping this day will come later or at least let time pass by a little slower, but it just seems so fast and so soon now that he has to leave. After dropping him at the bus station, as i was turning to head for work, I couldn't help myself but to turn and look at him. Then tears came rolling down. Couldn't help but worried will he able to cope with everything and how soon will he be back for the first visit. I guess I still see him as my little brother and he will always be my little brother.

Sometimes i just wish that we can turn back time, back to the days when we were still kids. Everybody staying under the same roof where we have no worries but being worried by. All the memories remains memories. Wonderful childhood i had with my brothers.


Kids.

I guess we have to accept the fact that everybody is growing up. Now the house seems even more empty, leaving just me and mom. We will always be looking forward for their visits and never stop worrying about their well being.

I love both my brothers and i am very proud of what they have become. They will always hold a special place in my heart, specially made by a sister to brothers.

Pantai Keracut

It has been almost 2 months since our trip to the other side of Penang Island, Pantai Keracut. I have heard of that place many many times but this is the first time i'm there. It's located somewhere at the end of Teluk Bahang. You can get there by taking a boat from the Teluk Bahang jetty or if you are athletic enough, you can hike all the way there. It should take around an hour or so...depends on your physical fitness.

So, our trip started out not as well as we thought. The guys were almost an hour late, our friend brought his pet dog which then later have to be send home by his sister. After all the huru-hara and some breakfast. We then went up the boat and head to Pantai Keracut.


Pantai Keracut...here we come....

As usual we reached there full of excitement. We were supposed to have 2 tents but we ended up with 1 perfect one...for the girls, definately and a cacat one. All because they couldn't find the metal thing which give the tent support. After setting up everything, we went fishing. Me, Yeow, Jimmy decided to go to the spot which we feel there's fish. Kern and Edison then tag along. We were enjoying our fishing when Pang came to crash the party by walking on the edge of the water. We went like...ARGHHHHH...that fella scare away all the fishes. Eventually, i believe in karma...Pang got punished for what he did. He got buried.


Karma...Pang....what goes around...comes around..

With all the playing and the joking under the hot sun. We soon got tired and hungry. So one by one went and get ourselves a good shower and then get ready to cook some food. Edison says he's a 'cong por' (a cook in hokkien) so we let him do all the 'hard' work. He started out by getting the fire started with charcoal and stuff. We waited and waited for the water to get boiled which it didn't. Then Ah Bit came, without even waiting for the water to get boiled, he threw 2 maggie mee inside. WAH.....damn....me and Kern took a look at him.

Then...our saviour came to the rescue. With a switch of the gas....he cook us a decent meal consist of maggie mee and mushroom soup. Pang....we just love you for that....and that only. After eating, Yeow (the fisherman), Jimmy (the amature fisherman), Kern (Mrs. Fisherman), Edison (the troublemaker) and Tong (sleeping beauty) decided to go fishing at the other end of the beach leaving me, Pang and Ah Bit.

Me and Pang decide to take a nap during that time but was unable to do so due to the disturbance Ah Bit was causing. With Edison's HP, he was wearing the ear piece listening to the MP3s and singing to himself. Can you imagine that, he was singing the songs all out of tune, so loud cos he can't hear himself, even the neighbours couldn't tahan and laugh at him. Soon after Pang couldn't handle it anymore and decide to start the fire to prepare for dinner. Ah Bit eventually went close to Pang, with his eyes staring at him and continue singing his lungs out. Damn...was that the highlight of the trip.



Yumm....

As the days turn into night, we have our dinner then group together like all campers do. We chat about the day and joke around. With only one good tent to sleep in, the guys went to the bridge. Leaving me, Kern and Ah Bit. After a nap, me and Kern went to look for them. Wow the bridge was full of people and it was cold too.

Pang and Edison team up to disturbed Jimmy, not wanting him to sleep. They then eventually got tired and want to sleep themselves. The girls beside Edison have this very comfortable blanket, so he...went closer and closer and eventually sleep beside the strangers. Crazy fella.


All the fun....at night....

The trip eventually came to a near end in the morning. We pack out things getting ready to leave the beach. While waiting for the boat to come pick us. Kern brother came and join us for a while. Then it started to rain......

Wouldn't it be more fun if it rained during the night......?

We're looking forward to another trip there. It was hell a lot of fun.

Introducing - Edison

As tomorrow, June 22nd, our friend Edison is celebrating his 24th birthday. I just think i will introduce him to all of you out there.

I recently got to know this fella through the ever famous Stuart Little (see entry STUART lil OR lil STUART). A funny guy who will make a scene anywhere, anytime together with his team mate PANG. The both are simply a fun pair to be with.

By the way, the name Edison Tan sound very much like the famous singer/actor Edison Chan. Apparently they are both as equally famous. This fella knows a lot of people and quite a shopper too. I remember there was once, when we were planning for a camping trip. I accompanied him to buy a new bag. We walked into the shop, and walla....after 5 mins...new bag. Without even asking how much it costs or check to see the bag is all intact, he asked the auntie to wrap it up, paid then leave. After that we went to Giant, he opened up the bag to store some stuff. He realised...ohhhhh so many compartment....ok mer....beh pnai....Damn..he's lucky it turns out good, what if its the other way around.


The funny faces of Edison.....hahahaha

Some say Edison looks a bit like that fella from Sesame Street, Ernie. Well i think they both are equally funny as one can be. And the same hairstyle too.

Yes ....? No..... ?

Well, to all you ladies out there, Edison is VERY much available. A funny guy who will make anyone's day bright just by....erm....acting silly. He's quite good looking too..i would say...cute.

DURIAN BISCUIT

Everybody knows there's peanut butter, cheese and chocolate biscuit. Have you ever come across durian biscuit. Apparently my mom got introduced to this rare flavoured biscuit by some sundry shop owner in Tanjung Bungah. This sundry shop is located nearby the Boon Siew flats in Tanjung Bungah, they have almost 30 over choices of biscuits there.

At first, we felt a little weird when we were introduced to this durian biscuit. Apparently it turned out to be quite good. It has the same durian smell which a lot of people don't like, but the same good taste which most durian lovers like.

They even have durian printed in the biscuit. (Ain't that cute)


The inside is just like all the normal peanut butter biscuits. You can eat the jam and throw the biscuit away, just like i used to do when i was a kid. Hahah

Yum..... 

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY

Last year father's day was a heartbreaking one for me. I remember we went to Tambun for seafood with my inlaws. I was about six months pregnant then. Carrying this huge tummy and having to drive all the way to Tambun just to celebrate Father's Day for my father in law. While I was sitting in the car awaiting for the family to come down. I couldn't help but broke into tears.

The cry became even worse when i saw my sister in law holding her father's hand walking towards the car. It just make me think of all the memories i have with my father. Seeing people who are so close to their father is just wonderful.

My relationship with my dad hasn't been that good all the while. Maybe its because of his hard working nature and also my rebellious attitude which got us emotionally disconnected. We can sit in the hall and watch the TV for hours with no conversation at all. I have no memories of ever being sinked in my fathers arms.

Our father and daughter relationship eventually got closer after he was found to have cancer. Regret being a rebellious daughter i stood by him through the whole process. Though it is only prostate but it hit him hard. Harder than anyone could imagine. The only memory i have, ever to hold my father's hand close to me was when i was begging him not to give up on himself.


Daddy Dearest

As tomorrow is Father's Day, I thought i will dig out some photo's taken of me and my father. To my surprise, I have only two.



My daddy once said to me, 'I have raised you up, and now you can take care of yourself. I have no worries.' 'My responsibility as a father is over.'
