LeoC: Another chapter of life~

Hari Raya Break ^.^

On Thursday whereby once i finished math class, i quickly headed to Taman Bahagia LRT station with Chang Win and Siao Fen. Yeah, going back to Sungai Petani to visit my relatives, seeing i couldn't go back on my grandma death anniversary. There were something embarassing happen on the way heading to Pudu Bus Terminal ( and i think it is verbally indescribable), but everything went fine as i stayed in my aunt's house in Sungai Petani for 2 days. It was until the 3rd day, i went back to kampung in Gurun. It is a very very old house, with noticeably zinc roofs and wooden walls. In front, it was where my granduncle runs his business - selling handmade rattan furniture and handicrafts. There is a small shop beside, recently built, in which my uncle sells computers and accesories and does all sort of repairs. The house was built, dated back before WWII. Anyways, something really big happened the day i was in kampung~

Well, here are some photos i took in my kampung - Nostalgic =)


My little cousins playing computer in the living room.


Something i missed the most - family sitting together to have a lunch. Haven't been doing this with family for years already. Inside the photo are my aunts, granduncle, and a kakak =)


The sunlight peering through the roof that illuminated the old nostalgic rattan furniture.


How these furniture weathered through the time......


My cousin and my uncle inside the shop.

Nostalgic...


Outside the wooden house

Well, as I was inside the shop (for there was air conditioner inside), talking to my aunt. Suddenly, my aunt saw many people rushed outside and my grandaunt looked panic. Well, I followed out the shop and this was what i saw...


in the sky...

and there was a row of houses on fire, not far from where my grandaunt house was. So, everyone ran to the backyard of the wooden house, as the smoke whizzed over the roof from behind, and...

this was where the smokes came from...




It was said that someone left the stove on unnoticed, and the gas tank exploded. The weather was hot and there was strong wind, which my grandaunt worried that the fire would spread (Luckily it didn't), eventually all the wooden houses in that row burnt down to earth.


One interesting thing was the kampung people. Most of them were rushing to help, yet many just came to 'kepo'. All came by motorbikes or bikes just gathered around and looked at the fire scene, and talked loudly about it as if their houses were the one on fire. It was like something exciting that triggered the whole rural area, everyone just stopped by and went to had a look and robustly gossiped about it. Even after the incident, the excitement still never ceased.
I guess, this is what makes kampung always a kampung =)

So, kampung trip was marked with an end as I went back to Puchong today (Sunday, 28/09/08), where I was going to have a class gathering. Not many people came, but it was fun. Especially meeting back Nina and Fati, I just couldn't help feeling happy to chat with them.


Whole gang sitting in the mamak shop and chatting.

Well, i was informed that today was Yee Yan's birthday. So Mun Fai, Y Lup and Sai Hoong secretly bought a cake for her. Tadaa... Happy Birthday, Yee Yan =)




Birthday girl was making wishes =)


It was like a press conference as everyone was snapping Yee Yan cutting her cake.


Isha =)


Two good friends


Group photo =D

So, this concludes everything. The kampung trip was memorable, simply memorable. The gathering was nice, but not many people came (which was a downside). I guess there are always ups and downs in life, but if look brightly, it might just be the same.
Ciaoz =)
