After hearing that my granduncle passed away, I was told to accompany my grandmother to Peneng to attend the wake and funeral. Had to sacrifice some time away to bring her there.
Believe it anot, this is one of the rushing trips I've ever gone on. I just got my tickets at around 1.30am on Friday(14th) and my flight is just afew hours away. Had to come back and pack my bag but I fell asleep. Woke up at 5.45am by my Mom and she told me its 6 already. Shocked and Panicked!, I decided to chuck everything I see into my bag. Thank God I was still early for my flight which happens to be at 7.45am. Thinking I could at least sleep while flying to Peneng but without a notice, the plane was already landing. Stony and sleepy, I had to call afew relatives who were waiting at the airport for us. Just followed the crowd blindly, I ended up walking around looking for my luggage and my grandmother's. After finding the bags, we headed out to look for my grandfather's 3rd brother. He was waiting to pick us up and head towards the wake.
I think this was an experience I'll never forget. I realise that my late grandfather has 12 Siblings including him! And my grandmother has 10 Siblings including her. It was my first time to Peneng visiting this side of the family. The place that we stayed in is called Batu Ferringi. The place there is super beautiful. It has become one of my goals to visit that place while bagpacking. The whole place looks like a relaxing resort where you could take your mind off everything and go Swimming!
We stayed at a relatives place which happens to be my father's cousin. I do not know what to call him so I called him Uncle Andrew. My dad has a brother which is also my uncle and he is also named Andrew. And both of the Andrews have the same surname! Confusing stuff! haha
