Took 3 days leave to attend my future elder brother-in-law's wedding in Kuching, Sarawak (East Malaysia)... His elder sister-in-law is a Malaysian, which explains the wedding dinner in Kuching and they held a buffet dinner in Singapore last week. First trip overseas with his whole family (minus his eldest sister and family)... I was worried for days before the departure. People may not believe me but it's the fact that I do not really spend a lot of time with his family even though we have been together for more than 8 years.
So on day one, we took a flight from Senai airport to KCH. Ya, the brother arranged for us to travel all the way to that JHB airport to take a budget flight to KCH. But cant complain coz he is paying for everything, including accomodation in KCH. Even though accomodation and flight booked way in advance, no proper planning was done in advance, and the most attrocious part was everything had to be asked before he informed us.
Day 2 was the wedding day with the customary, serving of tea to elders, etc, and then followed by a 8 course dinner in the hotel that we were staying in (Holiday Inn Kuching).
Day 3 was home sweet home for me, James and my future little brother-in-law. His mum and Grandpa stayed one more day and will leave on Saturday with the newly wed couple.
Oh well, anyway through this trip I discovered a lot of things about his Grandpa whom I have grown to like a lot a lot. His Grandpa has always been that type who keeps to himself and seldom talks, but after spending 3 days with him, I find that he is really a very steady person, so independant and knowledgeable, absolutely clear-minded and well aware of the surroundings...
And also, I have come to the conclusion and decision that I CANNOT stay with his mum after marriage or in future. Hahaha... And boy am I glad I will be staying with my parents until my flat is ready!
