Here goes... At first we went to Kemaman where my mother's side of the family gathered... Of course we had lots of food, fizzy drinks, laughs, games and chatting... My cousin Ah Beng who is now working, gave us a ride in his new BMW car... Fuyooo, pickup sipek fast and although at 160 still very stable. No bumpy ride at all... We all got our ang pows on the morning of the 1st day and took family pictures but we were all in for a surprise...
Picture of the whole family
The surprise was a lion dance troupe meant for my grandma's neighbour... Preety entertaining but a bigger one came on back at KT...Then it was off to Kuantan for the first visit of my dad's side of the family... My uncle lives there and we all ate dinner bla bla bla, chit chat and watched TV...
My uncle has a labrador puppy in his house... Only a few months already 3/4 the size of my dog... Still very playful and mouth very itchy...The next morning we went to KL where another of my father's 7 brothers lives... We stayed there breifly but we were due to hit Seremban after dinner... We went to Seremban wher my aunt and grandmother currently lives and spent the night there...
A German shepard my late cousin owned in his Seremban house... But this dog in poor condition because lack of exercise cause a lot of leg problem and lack og grooming so hair not so handome and got flea problem...Next destination would be Tanjung Sepat in Sepang... Another two of my aunts live there, one owned a pig farm so we dropped by...
A young suckling piglet... Eeee soooo cute but he's probably gonna be chopped up and served as a delicious slice of pork... YUM YUM
The juveniles that are due to be slaughtered and butchered soon... The reason why only juveniles face the gallows is because adult pigs have very very very tough meat, some say harder than beef...Then we headed back to KL to spend the night there... We went to KLCC for some shopping and me and my sis went to watch YES MAN, first time go in cinema without Jim.. T.T ... Anyway, it was full of fun and laughter due to the acting of Jim "Rubber-faced" Carrey but it was a little dirty too... Not as good as Bruce Al, Liar Liar or The Mask but at least better than The Number 23... Our last day in KL, we went to Pavillion where my sis and mom did a loooooong lady stuff shopping while me and dad went to the DVD shop to look for older movies on original VCD... My dad bought Top Gun starring Tom Cruise in his 20's, Sum of All Fears which is one of the Jack Ryan adaptations of the Tom Clancy's novels starring Morgan Freeman and Ban Aflleck... Finally I suggested The Untouchables starring Kevin Costner, Robert De Niro and Sean Connery and the movie is about Al Capone... And I went to the bookstore and purchased two of the four novels in Mario Puzo's Godfather series...
The first book "The Sicilian" talks about Michael Corleone(played by Al Pacino in the Godfather movies) in his exile in Sicily, Italy... His father Vito Corleone orders him to bring Salvatore "Turi" Gulliano with him to America where the Sicillian mafia cheif Don Croce attempts to go against Vito Corleone's orders to kill Gulliano... the book also deals with some parts of Christianity and how the mafia rebuke God's word... This one is the less "mafia" type of novel and more on drama. Never finished reading it yet...The second book "The Godfather: The Lost Years" which contain more sexual words, profanity and a lot of "Oh My God, Jesus Christ" type of words... At first I paid more attention to this book because it has my favourite formula of the Godfather movies... Michael Corleone who is now a Don running his affairs against his enemies... But after i got tired of the cursings, the progress slowed... The reason why the style of writing changed is because this is not written by Mario Puzo who is the author of the original "The Godfather" and "The Sicilian" but instead a new author who wanted to extend the saga...
The third which was borrowed from my late grandpa's collection of novels "Fools Die" is also written by Puzo although it is not part of the Godfather series... Haven read that one yet...
That's all folks...
