Never loved Chinese New Year more!

spent a wonderful cny in klang.
the family drove down i-duuno-how-many-kilometres to klang, only i had the priviledge to sit at the passenger sit for the entire journey.
never knew driving through was so much more convenient than taking a bus,
and with siblings driving at 140km/hr, it was waaaayyyyyyy faster!

the family left home at 530am in the morning and drove past gsh at 1030am,
still can remember how excited i was just driving past it.
we took a wrong turn when trying to get to premiere hotel and ended up having bakuteh!


we stayed in premiere hotel. a business hotel, nice, comfortable and a convenient distance from gsh.
(the sofa bed in the background? its at every level, even the lobby! it became the family's point of discussion everytime we waited for the  lift. Q: What or who is the sofa bed for?)


spent a short, but very meaningful two days with the people and children i love most.
surprisingly though a shorter trip compared to the rest, i had more time to talk to the soon-to-be-becoming-youths. saw them folding clothes and taught them what i learnt from eunice. the one step method to folding clothes!
was fulfilling just watching them getting all excited with folding clothes, and through that i even got them believing i fold my own clothes at home HAHAH.

the kids having so much fun in the sun while waiting for visitors. love the second photo, with all their funny faces! look at their cheeky and naughty smiles!

 joy sat with me chewing the last mouthful of food left in her mouth, while i ate my dinner. she was only allowed to drink her vitagen after she finished, so here she is, a happy and satisfied joy sipping on her favoouuriite after meal reward!

after dinner, i got reuben to help me take photo with the girls (that was my original intention)
and i ended up taking SOOOO MANYYY with so many of the children, particularly those who saw and took interest in the film coming out immediately after reuben counted '1,2,3' *flash*
got them to keep the photo and poor me took a photo of it with my digital camera for memories sake :D

reuben is an excellent photographer when it comes to my white fuji instax! but a reminder to myself for the next time is "smile only when he counts 3, cause he actually counts 4,5,6 in his heart before snapping the photo" hahha, cute! :D

we bid the children farewell as they went to bed, gave them hugs, that, as much as i hope would let them know how much i love them and couldnt bare leaving, i was also secretly hoping that these hugs, would last, as my source of strength and encouragement till the next time i visit.

last but never the least, we spent the night with the youths, ilyas and kong hooi at the mamak to have supper!
they had this funny contest on who can eat 4 biscuits the fastest, (sounds easy? you can try it at home!)

followed the guys back to missions home after supper and finally snapped a group photo together! the last one was so lonng agoo, though we're missing anthony and david, eunice and i are so glad we have another group photo with the guys! of course we took individual photos and polaroids as well, reuben took ours on his own, all three in it, and we were all super proud of him and his long hands! :D

missing everyone in klang, and cant wait, for the next time we can go down again.
thank you gsh. like a friend once commented, "since when did klang became such a huge part of your life?"
i dont know, but im glad it is <3 love you all!
