Did a quickie workout at the gym before heading off to Ipoh:
30 min on elliptical machine
Chest press (machine)
Incline chest press (machine)
Lat pull down
Lat pull down (variation)
crunches
Started my journey at 8.15am. Regretted for not buying Starbucks as I was quite sleepy at the wheel but struggled to stay awake with much prayer and munching in between. (Papaya and prunes have now become my staple diet) My dad had wanted to visit his sister who recently had a fall. Met up with some of my cousins whom I haven't seen in many moons. My family used to go back every Chinese New Year, but when my granparents departed, we stopped going. It's amazing how time flies, my cousins are now in their 50's. Some have aged gracefully (very) and some have just aged, period. I still remember them when they were young adults and I was just a little munchkin running around them. I used to think that their children were tiny tots but now that the kids have all grown, the age gap is smaller...they are only a few year younger than me.
Anyway, this is my youngest cousin...Jerry, who is just below 3.
Also drove pass what used to be my grandparent's house: 13 Greenhill Drive.. I still have fond memories of that place and remember vividly what it looked like. It was an ancient house and the toilets were outside the house! I used to feel all spooked up if I had to go to the toilet in the middle of the night......The place used to be shady, with frangipanni trees but now it's a commercialised area. When my grandparents passed on, our family eventually sold the house and this is what it looks like now.
Good grief, they have turned it into a bar. :(

Oh so you finally got to meet Jerry. I haven't seen him for a while and he looks quite different. He has grown to be quite a handsome young man, and more hair now!
ya he doesnt look like a monkey anymore...looks quite like his mom right?
Looks a bit like his mom, but also seem to have a look like our uncle when he was young, but less chubby, from what I remember of old photos.
