Ok so i owe u guys a story about my trip to Seremban, Negeri Sembilan. 1 June - 4 June.

Day 1 (1st June)

I went there for my uncle's wedding. My Grandaunt & Granduncle live there so we gotta go there for their son's wedding. Get this i went there together with my GREAT BIG FAMILY. There were 32 of us. Yeah im not kidding u. 32 of us. We went there by train. So my mum & the other 29 family members went for the morning train since they all got nothing for the day but my dad, my bro & me went for the night train since we gotta go for school & work. So we took the train at 10pm.

The Grand Wedding
Day 2 (2nd June)

Reach Seremban at 6.30am in the morning. Imagine how tired i was. Damn Tired. So basically i never sleep that whole night. So bath change and get ready for breakfast with the family, we went to eat at Al-Amin to eat our Roti Canai which is known as Roti Pratha in Singapore. So ate then we pose for sum pics while waiting for the adults to make up their mind where to go. I was like a walking zombie basically. SO we went to take a cab to Pusat Dakwah Islamyiah where the wedding take place. So went there & we found out that the place was darn empty as in no one was there. So i manage to sneak my family into this great room where my greataunt say that the place was for the guards to have the meetings but yikes we crash the place. We took pics n all. I tell ya my family is nuts! But fun!!! Ok so we waited for the ceremony to begin we waited from 10am - 2pm. That's like such a ridiculous time to wait but we waited till the ceremony begin. N it finally begin. Its different from a normal wedding we have in Singapore. Since my uncle is a Navy they did it with their no.1 uniforms with the marching n all. It was grand. But i think it lacked a bit of discpline. But it was alright though. Its like so cool. THey march they sat and we eat. Bwahaha... That was about it. Then my mum ask some of us whether we wanna go to my grandaunt house but as teenagers we decided to get back to the hotel & do some shopping instead. Oh guess what we discovered Starbucks. As the zombie that i was that day i decided that a great cuppa coffee will cure my sleepiness. So we the teenagers head back to the hotel. Took a bath and change. So the five of us went to the nearest shopping mall to shop. So went to the shopping mall. Shop around. I din buy much coz i have no idea what to buy. Then we head to Starbucks and chill there, oh yeah got my Venti Ice Caramel Frappucino. My bro, Faiz had the Banana Java Chip since he is nt a coffee addict nt until now when he discovers coffee. Hahaha... So we chill there bought some cakes and pastries to fill our hungry tummy. WE spent like 100 ringgit there which is quivalent to $50 sing $$$ which is actually quite ok coz 1 person spent like $10 each. Not bad rite. WE chill and talk. It was great that the Starbucks is not as full like the ones we have here in Singapore. Its always jam- packed with ppl. So we went back and our family members are back. And when we came back its their turn to go out so we are stuck in the hotel at night and anyways we were tired. So the adults when for their outing. All of them return at like 12am. Great huh. So we kinda stay up late talking and reminisce about those old times we had when we were young. Its so cool to spent time with ur family sometime.

Coffee Glorious Coffee....
3rd Day (3rd June)

Our last day at Seremban. Woke up at 9am. Ya still early i slept like only 2hrs. Gosh Horrible rite. Lack of sleep. So woke up. Back to Al-Amin to have our breakfast. Then off we went shopping again. Wakakaka!!! This time with all of the family members. Then i change my money yeah but only $50. Then my mum gave me another 50 ringgit. So i have like 150 ringgit to spend. So i bought like 5 tops, a bag and a pair of shades. Cool stuff. Love shopping. Then we had lunch. THen back to shopping. After all the shopping we decided to watch a movie since we got loads of time left on our hands b4 we depart from Seremban. So the 12 adults went home and left the 2o of us to watch movie. So we have like 10 kids & 10 adults. But we watch Shrek 3 there. The tix is like only $4 Singapore. Ain't it cheap. Yeah we had a blast watching it. With all the lil kids and all. Glad they enjoy it too. So back to the hotel. Clean ourselves up and set off to the train station. So while waiting for the train some of us teenagers manage to sneak ourselves from the adults to get us another cup of coffee. It was worth it. Even my aunt join us. Then my dad join us too. It was fun. Sat for a while and it was time to go. But b4 dat the newly weds came to send us off 2gether wif my grandaunt & granduncle. Its was great to see them again after so long. On the train the family got split up into diff cabins but we manage to stay together coz most of us couldn't sleep thanks to the bumping and chugging the train was making. So my aunt, uncle and some of us teens listen and share our ghost stories. Its was cool. We talk till 2am then we get back to our bed compartments. I still can't sleep. I receive constant awakenings by the sounds and bumps the train made. It was awful. Yet another day of me not sleeping.


The Baggage that grew thanks to the non-stop shopping. . .
4th Day (4th June)

Finally we reach Singapore. Both of my uncle family went off at Woodlands checkpoint since they live near the north. The rest of us continue with the train to Tanjong Pagar Train Station. And guess what on this very day i have my very first term test paper. And its Environmental Science. Yes. cool huh. i never even study well for this test. So b4 that we had breakfast at the local restaurant at the train station. Then the rest of my family members went off home while lil old me gotta go to school n sit for a paper i m so not prepared for. I so noe i'm screwed for the term test. I was right. I slept during the paper but i manage to finish it. Hopefully i pass that paper.

The family...At least part of it.




The teens having our last dosage of Starbucks before leaving for our train.

Of course not forgetting the lil kids who brightens up the place!!!
Luckily the nxt day i hv no paper so more rest for me. But still i'm too tired to study for the nxt paper. So my hydraulics paper i m nt prepared. My Structure Design paper i m not that prepared but luckily my maths paper i was dead on. I m prepared for maths coz i so love it. Yeah. That was about it. My great trip that end with bad consequences of my term test unpreparedness.
