The one thing that made going back extra special this Chinese New Year was that my mother and step father was going as well! The last time I got to see them was for the USA trip and Hawaii, so it's been a good 7 months!
We did a few walk abouts and to escape the new year madness, we escaped to KL for a night.

 |
| Mojitos by the pool? Now THIS is a holiday |
 |
| Also, being in KL means a holiday from the mosquitoes in Seremban! |
 |
| A delicious yum cha at Chynna. |
 |
| UJ's drink of the night, a lemon grass ice tea! |
 |
| My mother, popo and I at Chynna |
 |
| Shopping madness for CNY. Just a bit of light shopping for chinese jerky. |
We spent a lot of time around the house, which is over 60 years old bought before the Japanese occupation.
 |
| Blackie, my popo's dog. It's aptly named, you can't fault her there. |
 |
| A really old mirror given to my great grandfather for when he opened up his lumber mill. The chinese characters are fading. |
 |
| Waterlilies, aka standing water aka mosquitoes! |
 |
| Gong gong's old Austin. |
 |
| Popo as a midwife |
 |
| A photo of big popo with Sabrina. |

| Popo's usual sitting spot. |
 |
| She's pretty proud of her orchids |
 |
| Wash up area |
 |
| Gong gong was meticulous. Where has all his tools gone? |
 |
| UJ and Mum, with UJ's gift to Popo: a candy container shaped like a gold ingot. |
 |
| Popo's ridiculously huge hanger |
 |
| I miss my mum already! |
 |
| Mum and UJ at breakfast, someone's wearing his Xmas present from me! |
 |
| Alas, Blackie strikes again. |

I love your pics of Limbok. I think the washing up peach sink has been there since forever, there are photos of lots of us kids brushing our teeth and all sorts. There is a pic of my Popo cleaning up a chicken (including its head) next to the gutter, and another making little cakes much later on.
We cousins should put our pics together into a photo essay one day, all the generations at Limbok!
That looks like a day-blooming viviparous tropical water lily in the photo.
Its viviparous in that it can grow new plants from aging leaves. Pretty cool!
