I had a great time relaxing and eating good food at my in-laws in Kemaman. We endured a massive traffic jam on the way out to East Coast on Thursday night after work. Our Avanza was like a snail crawling from Jln Kuching to Plaza Tol Gombak but suprisingly the journey only took us 3 1/2 hours from Gombak to Kemaman (despite of the usual 5 hours drive) thanks to the new East Coast Highway which ends at Jabor (at the moment). The kids were fast asleep the whole journey which added to our excitement of chatting and sharing office gossip during the drive (just to make sure that my husband is wide awake the whole journey.. hehehe). We arrived around midnight and saw people were busy celebrating Merdeka in town. The whole weekend was spent reading newspaper, playing with the kids, eating various Terengganu style delicacies (my mom-in-law made Nasi Dagang) and also shopping. I had to buy a new Baju Kurung Riau.. yes, Riau indeed.. to attend a family event i.e. my husband's cousin's daughter 'bertunang' ceremony. Three days with no work to attend to and problems to think about. It was really Merdeka celebration to me.
The journey back was not that smooth since it was raining heavily from Karak to KL. We started at half past two in the afternoon and only arrived at our house around 8 pm. I watched two episodes of Ghost Whisperer, which was a bit unusual because the drama was scarry to me, before went to sleep. After 3 days rests, today will be a new week for me.
Happy Merdeka everyone!
