My trip to K.T- SH's family..

I had a restful 6 days in Kuala Terengganu. The first lesson which started this trip was that Terenggany is spelled as TErengganu and not as Trengganu which Changi Airport spelled wrongly. I heard it has been changed recently..

SH wanted a picture of the small Firefly but was stopped by the staff at Changi. However we managed to get one when we landed at Terengganu.

It was a good trip in several sense..

6days with his parents was a good time for me to be deeply touched by their hospitality and their care for one another. When one member in the family has a problem to be solved, they would all chip in to help. 2 people particularly stuck me this time round, his mother and 2nd sister. His mother works literally non-stop for the family starting from morning to evening. She prepares breakfast, lunch and dinner. She washes and iron the clothes (she irons everything even t-shirt and handkerchives.) She even irons my clothes though I insisted not to. When it rained, she remembers that my clothes are hanging on the balcony and asked SH's 2nd sis to help me take it down. Whoever meets her will just feels that she is considering for you and have you on her heart. When she got to know that my mother went for an operation to remove her gallstones, she bought chinese herbs and taught me to cook for my mother.

As for his 2nd sis, she works in a bank. And though she is busy with work, she would take time off to bring their parents to KL 4times a year for medical check-up. Through they have 2 other brothers staying there with their parents, she took on most of the elder-care. She knows that I loves mangosteens, so she ordered from a colleague who can get fresh mangosteens. I have my daily fix of mangosteens there. =) On our trip back, I realised that I forgot my slingbag which contains my passport. She drove me back immediately to their home to collect it. Thank God we made it in time! When we returned, people were already uploading onto the bus.

As for other pictures, I will upload it once I figure out how to do it. It seems that my ipload images icon disappear. N when I upload it, I will share more on what I did there! =)
