CONFIRMED!!!!! We will be going to Temerloh Pahang this Thursday nite. (Good Friday hols) We were in two minds about it initially, well.. until my cousin called to say she n her family was going back too. That was the PUSH factor I guess. Nothing makes us all happier than a family gathering...

Perhaps its the Arabic origin of the family that makes us love social get-togethers within the family sooo much. Every chance we get, somebody is sure to organise a trip to somewhere, usually to an uncle or a cousin's place. And the best part is... we would travel together... 3 or 4 cars in convoy like a procession of some sort. Or, if that is not possible then we would meet at the destination, timing our arrivals within minutes of each other. Sleep is never on our list of things as there will be too much of catching up to do. Lucky the houses are all landed with lotsa compound space as the kids are usually banished to the exterior to keep the noise level low. And the number of kids !!!!! One uncle has 5 kids and the other has 6.. my cousin currently has 3 and counting my sis's one (Idris) you can iimagine the decibel level !!!!!
