I took 10 days off from work and went back to Malaysia for the last two weeks of January. That means I got to celebrate CNY in Malaysia for the first time in four years. No more snow and exams during CNY!!!
The journey back was a long and tiring one. Luckily Voon Seng, Teck Hua and I had the same flight (starting from Minneapolis), so I didn't have to endure the whole journey myself. Upon reaching KLIA, I waited a while and met up with my sister, who was also flying in from Australia on the same day. We then proceeded to the LCCT, which by the way is the worst airport I have seen so far, to take an Air Asia flight to Penang.
Home is good. It's been too long since five of us - my parents, my sisters and I were together. I think we haven't been under one roof since August 2004 when I left for the states. So, my mother was saying that she wasn't quite used to it when the 3 of us (siblings) were busy chatting at the back seat when we were heading back from the airport...Indeed, I felt very happy when I was around with my family. All the good memories came back effortlessly, and they felt so inviting, so familiar, yet there's this hint of sadness as we all knew the good times were fleeting. It won't be long before we had to part ways again to pursue things that we don't even know why we are pursuing in the first place...
Let me break down this Malaysia experience post into a few, or else I don't think I will ever finished blogging about this whole thing. This draft has been sitting in my Windows Live Writer for more than a week. There's too much to talk about, and so much worth posting, yet so little time! (or rather, I'm so lazy!)
Reaching Penang Airport...
Take 2...
More coming next post....
