my kampung is cooler than yours

I've been spending a lot of time with my family for the past few weeks. Time is flying by way faster than I thought, we're all growing older and we will only get busier from here.

As usual, every Chinese New Year, my dad will try to get away from Singapore... I swear he's just waiting for me to earn enough before the whole family can fly out every long weekend. My "cannot duduk diam kat rumah, must merayap" behaviour definitely comes from him.

I haven't gone back to my kampung for a really long time. Honestly, I have been trying to recall when was the last time I stayed at the kampung but I just couldn't. This time round, I went back to kampung and man, the place is getting cooler than ever.

After attending a wedding there, my whole family straight away went to the mall nearby to catch a movie. I was contemplating between XXX: The Return of Xander Cage and Kungfu Yoga. Because my brothers got annoyed and then rushed me to make my decision, we ended up watching XXX.

The movie is actually not that bad. Nonsensical, with action. I like it, even though people are going mehhhh about it. Seriously, why don't you guys like it? I mean, other than the fact that Vin Diesel tried too hard with his "not so nice body, but still no bulging tummy, but no abs too" body, everything else was not too bad. Donnie Yen actually did the Ip Man trademark move. Deepika tried hard with her English, I mean come on, it's just her accent give her some chances. Kris... no comments, I couldn't really figure out what he's saying. Is it Korean? Is it Chinese? Oh wait, he's speaking English.

Too many stars acted in the movie, but all's good. I like it, overall.

Right after the movie, we walked around a little bit before heading to this "hipster" place nearby.

I wanted some CBTL while the brothers wanted subway. CBTL was full with Chinese families gathering there. Seriously guys, do your gatherings at home. It's really annoying because I couldn't get a place to sit in CBTL because they were all gathering there with their families. In Singapore, I get annoyed when this happens because students are studying there. Sheesh, I just need to sit and consume my food peacefully. GIVE ME A CHANCE PEOPLE.

My kampung used to be sooooooo uncool and boring guys. But now, this place has themed cafes, online shops setting up a REAL shop... it's like wow, I feel like investing some money and actually open my own shop to make this place even cooler. Let's hope it will happen soon. Time to start saving my money HAHA #mykampungiscoolerthanyours

And finally after sooooooo long, I had some time with Sofia Hana. My other niece. She's not that close with my paternal side, but it's okay. I still love her just the same, she's soooooo cute and really easy to take care. She's slowly getting on the Aunty Syafiqah's Favourite Niece Award.

She's now four months old. Time really flies. No joke man. I remembered being all tired, just from your parents' wedding day. And now, you're 4 months?!?! You better be helping out a lot when I get married HEHE 😈

I hope it's still not too late to wish my Chinese friends.... Happy Chinese New Year! 

I'm still single, so yeah I'm just waiting for some ang baos. 🍊🍊
