Pre-Holiday

Was back in Papa-M's hometown now in the north....

Last Wednesday night Papa-M, Bb-G and myself flew back to Papa-M's hometown. We made an early trip back since we won't be back to in-laws's place for the Chinese New Year. This trip via flight was an experience for Bb-G. In fact, this was her 3rd time flying back to the grandparents' house. Previous 2 times, she was a small baby. This round, she had been telling us that she wants to "SIT AEYOPANE". ..!

Our flight was delayed for an hour, and therefore we reached hometown at 9.15pm. To make Bb-G sit tightly in the airport, we bought her chocolate. And to tame her in the airplane we bribed her again with more chocolate too. She practically talked non-stop in the plane.
After inlaws picked us up, we went to a Thai restaurant for a dinner. We had fried cat fish, sambal petai with prawns and bamboo shoots, a type of thai soup but I could't remember the name, fried kailan with salted fish, kerabu mango and chicken satay. Mother-in-law was thoughtful, thinking that the food may be not suitable for Bb-G, she prepared some fish porridge in advance for her dinner.

Back to inlaw's house by 11.30pm, took our bath and we slept until the next morning.

Yesterday, after breakfast, we went to Tesco to get some fruits and MIL bought CNY clothes for all her grandchildren. Then, took lunch in Papa-M's grandma's house. During tea time, inlaws brought Bb-G and me to visit Aunty Chong, their friend, for dessert and coffee, whereas Papa-M went out to meet his friend. Aunty Chong had made us niangao with salted coconut shreds. In fact this was my first time eating niangao that way. Usually back in my hometown in the south, people will deep fried niangao with yam or sweet potato. The niangao I ate in Aunty Chong's house tasted just like ondeh ondeh but without the gula melaka filling.

After that, we went back to inlaws'house. FIL is a tealover, so I had a Chinese tea session with him. Chinese tea goes well with peanut, and therefore I couldn't stop munching peanuts while enjoying my Pu-er and Oolong tea until 8pm. By then, Bb-G woke up from her late evening nap. She woke up with no appetite for dinner, hence for the very 1st time, she took her dinner (porridge) at 10pm!! Besides the porridge, she also took fruits and kueh kapit. So syok huh....

Dear MIL also prepared us some bedtime dessert - rock sugar birdnest. 3 bowls for Papa-M, Bb-G and me. Went to bed by 11.30pm. I was quite sleepy by then. HOWEVER, Bb-G talked non stop on the bed. She yelled, she sang, she spoke to herself continuously for almost 1 hour. I almost had the urge to feed her flu medicine to make her sleep!! When Papa-M and me asked her to sleep, she replied us this "YOU QUIET"... Walaoeh! I really couldn't tolerate her because I was really tired, but could'nt sleep because she was too noisy singing beside me. I woke up and smack her buttock. She was stunt, immediately quiet down for 10 SECONDS! Then sang, laughed and talkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkked. My tolerance level had reached to the max and I "tiak"her cheek with my fingers and cool stared at her. She quiet down immediately...and yes, quiet down to sleep. I was not too sure what time was that, but believe it should be around 1.30am.

This morning I can blog a little just because, now at 11.40am, Miss Bb-G is still sleeping.........
