Under one Roof: A Trip Down Memory Lane

Went on a trip back to Kuching, where the 4 of us spend our holidays, with ma ma and cousins. Now most of the cousins are married with kids and so do i. P get to meet her cousins and her zhor zhor. Coming from a peranakan background, i hope P will learn something abt her roots. She spoke zero words of baba hokkien. ATM found it hard to understand wat we are saying. None of us except ma ma wear her kebaya n sarong. Told her tt when she move on, i would wana inherit her kebaya which are all handmade. I wont be able to wear them as i m must bigger frame than ma ma. This trip back home is more like a trip down the memory lane, visiting the places tt we used to visit. It will be great if the 4 of us can go back at the same time. Ma ma is getting old, she dun wan to get her feet out of the country, cos she dun wana to die oversea. We planned to celebrate her bday during this trip but as some relative passed away so we cant. We ended up having dinner at some restaurant. Bought lot of cakes and chocolate for ma ma from Spore, she has sweet tooth. Ma ma will never spend $$ on herself. Good to see that P is spending time with her zhor zhor, ma ma really adores her.

This trip back, seems like everything has goes up in price. Things dont look cheap as b4. A bowl of laksa cost RM5, a bowl of kolo mee cost RM3, a meal will easily cost u RM7-8 per person. Somehow the taste and feeling of the food and places are different.... Wonder will i be able to find back the taste and the feeling of 20 years ago? We have home cook food almost everyday, P seems to eat more than when she in Spore, which is good for us. When she is in Kuching, her mouth basically never stop eating. With the cousins ard almost all the time, she has learnt to share and fight for things that she wan.
