Last Journal ------ not exactly!! :P

Day Four:
Okay, I admit that 'setiap pertemuan pasti ada perpisahannya'. Why NOW????!!! :(

This day, I could not wake myself up. Even the rest of us too......'coz it's time to go home. Even Sara slept in a room seperated from us the night before...and dreaded it. At least we woke up at an appropriate time.....more than enough rest for all of us....:)

By the time everything's packed, it's about 10.00 a.m. Uncle Tuck Soon and Aunt Suit Fong took us to an Indian restaurant for brunch at the old Silver Service Clubhouse. (Is that the right name?) We had a waiter who did not understand whatever we said, even when we asked for the bill and some spoons and forks....only to know later that he was newly employed from India. Although that incident happened, well, the food was great. I had pappadams (a kind of Indian crackers) in the fish head curry. One word for it: GREAT!! The best Indian food I've ever tasted!

Right after brunch, Aunt Suet Chin, Mom, Kat, Merie and I went to Borders.....just to end our trip on a high note. (Well, I like bookshops, for a change.) This bookshop has not only books, but also CDs and gifts. In the end, here's the list of what we've bought:
  • Aunt Suet Chin: Books (mainly fiction and cookery), bookmarks
  • Merie: 2 journals (notebooks)
  • Mom: 7 bookmarks. One for me. YAY!!

At about 2.00 p.m., we left Borders for Aunt Suit Fong's house. The feeling of dread came nearer to us. It's just......saddening.

Finally, the time came. We said our goodbyes....and parted. We took the same route back.....just that we didn't take breaks....until we were at Machap. Merie and Aunt Suet Chin bought some snacks......before the latter slept in the car. It took its toll on us, alright.

While we were at Yong Peng (which was about 7.00 p.m.), we got stuck in the jam. Yeah, the traffic blues. We were in the queue for about 1 hour....in which most of us complained that it was too long....but not my mom and I (for your info, it took us two hours out of the jam from Rawang last year). It lasted until Seremban....when we realised that the drivers slowed down to watch an accident at the exit to Seremban. After that, everything went smooth flowing.

(9.00 p.m.) We finally reached Cheras....and took dinner there. Then it was time to head home. Quality rest assured.

Okay.....the trip's done!!

NOTE: We will be leaving for Singapore again on 15-21 December!!! :)
