My 2 weeks in Palembang, Indonesia can be described in one word: FUN!

The name Palembang might ring a bell to some of you...
Yes! Its the city where they captured the bomb making terrorists 2 weeks ago!
Sounds scary huh? The scarier part is that the house in which the bombs were made and found is in my grandma's neighbourhood (5 min walk away) and I stayed w my grandma for the 2weeks there! The super dramatic me took pics of that house and I'll post it once I have the time to upload pics into my comp.

The trip back this time made me realise that I have super duper crazy cousins! Even crazier than me! haha... in fact they were the catalyst of my craziness.

We did alot of stupid and crazy but at the same time fun things.
1) Egg Fight. This ended up w us having a new ring tone: Jalan Kaki Balek (Walk home) And World War 3 between my 2 aunties (both weren't involved in the egg fight, but alot of things happened in the process which is too troublesome to talk abt)
2) Went cruising to the local red distric area just to view prostitutes and tran-gender ppl. And we did this 3 times within the 2weeks cos we ddnt manage to spot the "bencongs" (transvestites)
3) Had movie marathon in my grandma's hse family room. We bought tonnes of food for the event and didnt have enough money to pay for it. Cos nobody planned to shop for the food, it was impulse buying. So paiseh lar! So we had to put away my bolsters... and aft polling wadever we had, the money we had was just nice. haha!
4) Karaoke sessions. We ended up shouting, screaming, dancing and jumping up and down the sofa. Hopefully the karaoke rooms dun have cameres installed in them. If not the workers wld have had a very good laugh viewing the image coming from our room.
5) Movies. Imagine 15 ppl watching movies together. It was basically 2 rows of seats and 2 SUVs.
6) Acting like my cousin's gf to scare off this super aggressive girl who's chasing aft my cousin. My cousin even told her things like "We (me and him) are super close, my family is close to her and has accpeted her and we even have slept in the same room" Which isnt a lie cos there are events where the whole grp of us wld sleep in a big room during sleepovers and stuff, and my auntie is close to me. haha!

The only sane thing we did was participating in Sejuta Pelita Sejuta Harapan (A Million Lights A Million Hopes) an event held by the Buddhist temple near my grandma's hse. The temple was the one where me togther w my siblings and cousins had our religious lessons from when we were ALOT younger. And some smart alek cousin of mine signed us all up as committee members. The event was a mass prayal kinda thing and aft that there were A Million candles arranged to form shapes and wordings (i'll post the pic soon). We were some of the 200 over committee who were in charge of lighting up the candles. What seemed to be a simple task was proven to be hard cos it rained earlier in the day which wet all the candles. Making them hard to be lit up. But ok la, testing our patience (something i seriously lack). And committee members gt free Tshirts. SO now we have uniforms! haha!

Without me realising it, this holiday was a bonding session for us. I've gt to knw my cousins better and we are now closer to each other. Well we grew up together. WE even bathed together till one of us went to p5, then the bathing sessions stopped. haha!

Everday was filled w shopping, eating, making merry, doing silly crzy things and sleeping like a pig.

I miss them alrdy!
