Memories of the past

Filed under: Randoms — Xion @ 1:10 am

So, I went back to hometown in Alor Setar cuz my folks had some unfinished business to attend to. Stopped by Penang to meet up with my long lost uncle and Aunt which I sort of have a slight clue who they are.

He’s a pet lover, currently he’s breeding angel fish, (I think that’s what you call them) becuz they make lots of babies he sold A LOT of them away. Feed tadpoles to his Big fish (forgot what are they called).

After that went back to Alor Setar to visit me grands. Long time didn’t see them. >.< Arrived my grand’s house at about 6pm.

My aunt loving us so much bought like 3kg of crab. O.O Behold BBQ crabs.

This is only like quarter of what she bought.

Oh look! A completely good looking nice crab!

What the heck happen!?!?! Must be struck by lighting or a bus went over it.. XD

Ate ‘em crabs at night. In the morning went to a very special noodle shop.

This here my friends. Best noodles I have ever tasted! Brings back good memories too.

When I was in standard 6, my best friends and I back then would skip class just to have a plate of noodles than creep back to class.. ;P

Sometimes we would compete against each other, who can finish the big plate of noodles the fastest. hahaha.. but now I lost contact with them and I don’t think they cared anymore, Oh well… :/

The same night went to a hawker center to have dinner. Old memories too. This place used to be near a river, but the authorities decided to build some shitty “monumental’ fking tower on the place and shifted this whole center to and abandon market place. Still people come, chinese people.

More stalls.

The stalls.

Look at the people.. Its always full by the way.

My grandpa works here now, selling ‘pao’. Hahaha.. er.. What’s it called in English? Buns? Those white coloured buns..

That’s that. Now back track a little before dinner. Gonna bring y’all for a tour to where I grew up for the last 13 years of my life.

My old house, there’s someone inside. T.T (Taman Saga, 339)

The streets where I use to cycle around during the evenings.

See that house with the green top? There was a girl there were I used to ask homework ALL the time. XD Wonder where’s she now. O.o? I didn’t dare go and ask..

See that orange house on the left? That drain there, I fell into it while I was cycling. I don’t know how or what got into me, when I decided to look up to the sky and just cycle straight ahead. (O.O) Yup, God was calling.. XD

This used to be a big tree. It was my tree. About 18 years old. When I left, the next owner decided.

“Hmmm, Lets cut in down and make a parking spot here.” Fuck them.

My dad ask my bro and I, “You guys want the mango tree?” “YES!!!” We answered

He than took the fruit that was extraordinary huge back and planted it. The whole family looked after it. Watered it. When it was big enough, I used to climb on top of it and swing around the branches. Later, about 10 years later we ate Mango! but now.. :/

Midnight, since we didn’t bring the ps2 back home. My cousins, sibs and I played cards the whole night. Instead of using money, we drew on our hands.

My hand.

My bro’s hand.

My cousin bro’s hand.

My sis’s hand.

My other cousin bro’s hand.

So, that’s it. Left Alor Setar on Sunday about 3pm and reached my new Subang home around 9.45pm. the traffic was heavy. VERY heavy. Whenever the chance was there, 120-140km/hrs was taken. XD

Now, my grands are planing to move up here to stay with us. That would mean me not being able to see these places I mention to you again. Well, if anyone wants, We could have a joy ride back! It’d be fun!! ;)

Til than.
