# CNY TRIP (8th FEB - 10th FEB)
When many families were celebrating cny by house visiting..
My family went to Malaysia for a short EATING trip..
The 1st day of cny was boring..
Brought my mama to watch CJ7..
Normally cny i would have gone back to Penang but this time round, we could not celebrate as we are still mourning for the death of my 2 grandmamas..
Thus, I was so glad to go for the trip..
At least it put my mind off from unhappiness & boredom..
Usually, I do not believe in chinese zodiac reading..
But i believe this time round..
For "OX" they were saying there will be lot of family bonding..
Indeed..the 2nd day of cny..we went for a family trip..
So true!!!
Oh well..
We woke up early to drive into malaysia..
Once we reached jb 1st highway pitstop..we stopped for breakfast at 9..
Then continued till we reached Melaka at around 11plus..
Stopped at Tan Kim Hock Product Center for Durian Chendol & shopping..
I dun feel like eating but my mama love durian so she insisted of eating it...


Famous durian chendol..
Eeek..i think the standard dropped alot lo..
Last time they used real DURIAN now then use durian syrup or smth bah..
Boring~~~!!!!!!!!
Hate Commercialised Tourist Attraction..
We took a stroll after our dessert..
Then we came across this roadside hawker so my parent decided to eat..
