More last minute post.
December was a busy month.
Holidays cut short by many things. A week long Baktisiswa at the Kuala Lipis, Pahang was fun! Those never live at 'kampung' before should give it a try! Though most may not adapt to the 'kampung' lifestyle. Rural lifestyle is hard. I'm serious! You may have to forget about having a nice and comfortable shower. The water supply is limited and you may cause your foster family to be stinky all nights by emptying their scarce supply. It's a lifetime experience. My very foster parents are rubber tappers. Their main incomes are mainly from the government aids. I had always be a good listener to grandma's life story. She ever said that being a rubber tapper is tough. I always perceived hard life was a matter of the past in our country. But I was wrong. So wrong after i seen it myself. Many are still working hard to make their end meets. Tapping rubbers is not an easy job. How I wish I can help them. Deep inside, I hope their children are all educated. Education is a very important tool for success. Given their poor status and lack of knowledge, they cant afford to buy reference books or send their children to tuition. It's time to wake up and realize how lucky we are! All in all, this Baksis was fun.

Before I went to Baksis, I was at a wedding. No no no! Not mine! Not yet! It was Piggy's sis wedding. It was fun and joy for once a lifetime event. It is always fun to see the groom and his bestfriend's group encountering several hurdles of 'test' before he can get to the bride. Wonder what types of 'test' i will be engaged with when my turn comes.
That day was the day when I get to see many of piggy's relatives. More during the wedding night. Thanks to Rui Yuan for helping me in the identification process. Wedding is a long process. Needs a proper and romantic proposing before moving to the hustle and bustle of wedding planning. Future weddings might be different from now. But for Chinese, tea drinking ceremony will never be parted from this event. It's part and parcel of the Chinese tradition. A wedding will never be complete without it. The last time I attend a wedding ceremony was.......... I could hardly remember when. *sweat* That was ages. It's a happy moment for a couple. Hereby wish piggy sis and her hubby be happy and blissfull forever!

A dull Christmas this year. Piggy been busy helping to tidy things and preparing to move to her new house which is just a stone throw away from my house. Moving house is not an easy work which can be done in a day. Moreover moving to a new house. Many old things shall and should be discarded. like the saying goes ‘旧的不去，新的不来’. New house, new furniture and new feng shui. The decoration must be carefully planned and designed so that the new house wont look messy. Piggy got a her own room, with striped walls, a new bedroom sets, a chair, 2 book shelves and a table lamp. Simple and tidy, at the moment. Now with only i-U occupying the bed and piggy at Penang. Lucky i-U being spared from doing 'yoga' in the bag. Friends visit during Chinese New Year would be very easy as both of our house are near to each other.
