CNY to KL Day 4: Home Sweet Home

We only had 1 agenda for the day - to go home. That was so important bcos it is no joke getting stuck at the custom. We woke up, had what we got from 7-11 the night before for bfast and were soon out of the house simply bcos we hoped to beat the jam.

初一 was also a PH in Malaysia and we were a little worried to see heavy traffic heading south with us. It didnt make sense that so many Malaysians were going to Singapore; for what lah? Fortunately, the traffic thinned after many hours of drive and as we approached home sweet home. The kids were cooperative, watching the 2nd movie that we had downloaded for them in their phone.

Fingers crossed and toes crossed.
Woohoo! The custom to Singapore was uber smooth but not on the other side of the road.

It was loads of unpacking once we were home and the fun didnt end there. Dinner was planned at my brother's place.
We finally got to 捞 the yusheng that we missed during reunion dinner bcos there wasnt tummy space left. Unfortunately, it was no longer fresh. 捞个意思 lah.

The kids insisted on sleeping over despite being overly tired. Zaky particularly was half dead when Daddy Lim and I were leaving at 10pm. He insisted to sleepover and I was told that he fell asleep by 10.30pm. He literally went to sleep over. Zzzzzz. Only the girls were surviving when I checked at 11.30pm.
With that, our CNY KL holidays had come to an end and we finally got to sleep in our big and comfy bed; I so needed that. Hohoho.

This holiday had been a slower than usual pace. The most tired person had to be Daddy Lim who did so much driving in and even went up to Genting Highlands 2x! Missing Chiling waterfall was a waste but otherwise, the holiday was fine and definitely a good break from every day's life.

Our airbnb experience wasnt too bad. Both airbnb accommodations were decent. The only things that I dislike about airbnb are the chances of bad towels and beds. I should make a mental note to bring our own towels the next time we are staying in an airbnb. In the 1st airbnb, the host gave us felt blankets and I absolutely hate that. In the other airbnb, the host provided towels that were not absorbent. Zzzzzzz. If it wasnt bcos the price of the airbnb was a fraction of the hotel due to the festive season, I would have opted for hotels.

Happy CNY! Huat ah!
