My dad used to work in Petronas many years ago, and due to unforeseen circumstances during that time, he stopped working in that company and held the title of "insurance agent" under his belt for many more years to come, and these number of years are still counting.

When my dad was still toiling under Petronas, my family members and relatives from my mother side used to go on a vacation together once iin every year, we used to live in a same old apartment which is called Tanjung Tuan in Port Dickson (there were a few apartment units in Tanjung Tuan belong to Petronas). But after the resignation, the annual PD trip faded in a blink of eyes.

During those older moments, me and my relatives shared very happy moments, we chased around in the apartment, flushing sea water towards each other, building sand castle at the seaside, and even fished a pair of socks from the sea once! Those are gay moments to be cherished back then.

Fortunately, my mother, particularly, and a few of her siblings had a sudden urge weeks ago, the sudden urge they felt, somehow was like remisniscing the memories back in their mind. Consequently, they quickly planned another trip in Port Dickson, hoping to recall the memories, in real-life style.



4 families, fully prepared and well equiped with baggages and luggages, marched toward the journey to Port Dickson on 27th December 2008. Many years back then, some of my older cousin brothers were the ones who somewhat played a major part of my childhood memories in Port Dickson. But this very recent trip, I was like somewhat playing their roles, leading a bunch of kids, fooling around in the pool.

Look at my uncle, isn't he gorgeous? Opps!

Favourite place for the children, the pool in Tiara Beach Resort!

When we arrived the destination, without any hesitation, the kids just pulled out their garments, and SPLASH! Into the water they jumped! Some of us starting to play water polo with a ball which we brought ourselves, some just kept themselves occupied with the water, especially those little ones, they treated the water as though it is their nemesis. It was hilarious looking at the way they dealt with the water.

Me & my cousin sister were riding on a twin-sharing bicycle, it was quite difficult to balance with her riding behind me, heehee :p


After a day long of water immersion and water polo, and under the scorching sun which did not show any mercy by unleashing its powerful sun beam onto our poor skins. Expectedly, our skins turned red, and some of us turned into black. And our skins, unfortunately, are making us feeling extremely uncomfortable... We are sun-burned! In this very moment, when I'm typing down this blog, my entire face is red in colour! Very much similar like pieces of freshly cooked Char Siew. But after some invaluable advices from the elderly (hopefully it is), applying some natural Aloe Vera, and some cream from China would really propel the progress of moisturization on my skin. Otherwise, my face would surely cause some serious aftermaths to my future colleagues in two days time.

These are the moments to be cherished... The most valuable memories not to be forgotten. After 22 years of living, I gradually realize that family bond is the most important thing of all. There's no other relationship which comes first before families.

"There's no home like the one you got, 'cause that home belongs to you." Quoted from Bolt.
