Events in the last 48 hours

You never realize somethings' missing until it smacks you in the face days later and you'd be wondering, what the hell happened? Well, this was how i felt when I went to Malaysia a few days back. Oh how I longed for my bed back at home and my fluffy pillows. It was such a pain sleeping on floors cause there weren't any spare beds left. This is mainly due to the sharing of the apartment we were staying in between FOUR families. We went to Malaysia to visit my relatives who live in a village in the rural areas of Malaysia. Just reaching the place was absolute hell cause the passage there was fraught with twists and turns and include an uphill ascent cause the house for some reasons unknown, sits atop a hill. Oh, did I forget to mention there were monkeys living near the house? Hahaha. It was such an interesting sight for us city-dwellers who have never been in close quarters with our primate relatives. Once we reached there, our parents caught up on times with our relatives and us children were supposed to sit there like dolls? Anyway, we started to bring out the pack of decks that my uncle bought and started playing tai-ti. We started to play stakes. We bet using biscuits. Who lost that round had to eat the number of biscuits that were bet upon. Haha. My cousin ended up losing a lot of rounds and felt bloated after the game was over. After that, we went to my auntie's house near that area and it was a welcome change since it was near the city area. We had dinner at her place and I soon fell asleep on the couch. I didn't wake up until it was time to go home. On the journey back, we stop by the Pagoh rest-stop. There, I had my midnight supper and managed to receive a threatening glare from some wannabe gangsters cause I imitated their walk right in front of their faces. My cousin and I started to talk and laugh loudly in front of them just to irritate them further. Hahaha. They couldn't do anything about it cause our parents are near us and it was fun watching them grow ever more irritated with each passing second. Finally, it was time to go and we went our separate ways with me snoring away at the back of the car. And here I am, having just got back from home typing out the days' events and spending my time afterwards playing winning eleven with my bro-in-law on his new unmodified(again) Playstation 2. Anyways, hope you guys enjoyed reading this post.
