First post for 2014! yaye~
It has been a busy week~
My sister and family arrived here 2 days ago and since then we have been really busy.. Getting everyone to one place is a challenge because there are 12 of them.
We are the center of attention wherever we go (although am already used to it since Jane & I always attract a lot of attention when we are together :P) When we get off from 3 big cars, everyone will turn around and look. I bet they must be wondering if something BIG is gonna happen and they probably also wonder who the "Big Brother" (大哥大 i.e. leader)is hahaha...
My nephews and nieces have not been back here for ages. Some are so young that this is their first visit away from home. My sister and brother-in-law said this is an educational trip. They want their kids (and 2 of their kids' angmo best friends) to open their eyes and see beyond Aust. They want them to learn more about lives and out of their comfort zone.
The kids are great so far. They can accept everything from humid weather to languages they don't understand, they can accept eating in kopitiam and having real local food except..... the squat-down toilet hahahaha.. it's funny to see how terrified they are when they see the squat down toilet in public areas.
One of my nephews had a stomach-ache and had to use the toilet. Upon seeing the toilet, he was terrified! He didn't know how to use it so his mum said, "you stand with your feet slightly apart, then you reverse in and squat. Just pretend you are doing stretching'. My nephew tried but he didn't like it. He refused to use it and cried. He said "Mummy, i don't like this Yoga toilet!! I hate Yoga toilet!" We couldn't stop laughing at his remark... He didn't think it was funny at all though...
Hmm.. The kids should have been briefed before visiting. There is even an user manual which gives u steps on how to use a squat down toilet in the internet! So C.O.O.L!
They still have a lot to learn~ hmmm.. i wonder if they will like Durians~
