Again, Sorry for the late posting of these photos For loads more pictures click :- here and here

Early friday morning I woke up and drove Sara’s mum and her sister to the family house where the uncle’s casket was. There was the Taoist rituals being done, and Sara’s sister didn’t want her 3 kids to see them move the coffin, as such, it was my responsibility to entertain the 3 kids. There was Jonathan 8, Anderson 6 and Rikka 4. It was quite a handful, as I tried to walk around with them. I finally decided to take them on a drive around the Park, until it was time to move the coffin. When the funeral home people moved the coffin, I was told to turn away from it, and every body else did the same. This confused me. I asked my Taoist friends and they also didn’t know the reason, but I did it in respect. We then drove to the cremation center in Sungai Tiram, and they had a brief ceremony and then the casket was put into the burner, again, everybody had to look away.

By the time we got back to Sara’s mums place, I was dead tired, it was almost 4pm. I took a short nap and by 6:30 we left the house and headed into Singapore. There was a massive crawl at the checkpoint and it took us 2 hours to finaly cross into Singapore and get to a Sara’s aunties house where we rested for a while, and then it was straight to Changi Airport. The trusty GPS got me there easily and as we parked I was worried I didn’t have enough Singapore Dollars in my Cash-Card.

Sara’s mum and I waited patiently and then after a brief few moments Sara appeared and my heart was overjoyed! Finally my baby was home!! When it was time to leave the Airport, I realized I calculated the parking rate wrongly and I had more than enough cash! Woohoo! We drove back and it took us 3 HOURS!! Yes, 3 HOURS. There was a massive jam at the border because the cops checked each and every car, opening everything! It was a torture. They Singapore police are so embarrassed that they let that terrorist walk out of jail, that they have to look like they were serious to make sure he will be caught, though I think he is in a cave somewhere with Bil Laden drinking coffee. We finally made it home by 1am and we were so tired we all just fell asleep.

And just like that, the 3 weeks in Australia ended before I even realized. To say I didn’t do much wouldn’t be true as Sara and I managed to cram allot of activities in those 3 weeks, and she didn’t skip any classes too! (Well, maybe one or 2 classes), but I digress. The last 2 days in Melbourne was spent mostly at home with Uncle and Aunty, who in all truth didn’t get to see much of us, as we were on the road for the better part of 2 weeks. We had dinner both nights, the first one at this Italian Chain restaurant called “Sophia’s”, which serves great food. The last night, we celebrated my farewell, Sara’s cousin’s Karen’s birthday and Mothers Day as well, at this Chinese Restaurant.

The next morning, early in the morning, Sara and I woke up and we left the house at about 6:30am. Uncle and Aunty woke up just to say goodbye to me, so touched. Then Sara drove me to the International Airport, and I checked in, and said goodbye to my Baby. Miss you soo much Sara!!

The flight back from Melbourne to Singapore was relatively empty and I got the entire row of seats in the middle of the plane to myself, which I really enjoyed. Before I knew it, the plane landed and I had to start my long wait for the next flight, Air Asia back to KL. It took forever, and I finally reached home around 11pm Malaysian time.

We was so blessed by God the entire trip. Everywhere We went, people were nice to Sara and Me. Even on the trip back, both the Singapore Airlines and Air Asia check in counters didn’t charge me for access baggage! God is Good! Its good to be home, but I miss Sara soooo much!!

Last year end, after Christmas Sara and I decided to take the family on a holiday, and since the nephew and nieces have never been to Sentosa Island, we decided it would be a place to go. Now this is not exactly the cheapest of places, especially for a Malaysian, with the exchange rate and the Malaysian ringgit being ever so low! So be prepare to spend! Not including the entrace to the Island, the cost of Underwater world, which comes bundled with the Dolphins show is Singapore Dollar 19.90 for Adult and Singapore Dollar 12.70 for kids! Was it worth it? I think so yes. The place is very well maintained, the fishes and sealife is wonderful, and its much much better than whatever KLCC has to offer. The kids loved the place, and so did I.

This video made me laugh so laud everybody in the office thought i was crazy. My goodness! Please! Singaporeans, don’t EVER Rap! Hahaha.
