What almost killed me wasn&#8217;t the many hours of drive from Singapore &#8230; but the mental stress I had to go through during the drive. I picked up my parents from Batu Pahat (Johor) and they were yakking, nagging etc all the way &#8230; in the car. OMG. I couldn&#8217;t really drive peacefully and there were times I almost whipped out my iPod and shove the earbuds into my ears. LOL.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ndroo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/gallery\/kl-trip-2011\/Zayden06.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"399\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Meet my new nephew &#8230; Zayden Kua<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Anyway I made it to KL in one piece and we spent 2 nights there &#8230; with Fitzand having a (big) blast playing with his cousin sister, Zaydeen &#8230; myself having a good time gulping beer with my brother (while babysitting!) &#8230; and met up with some old friends for beer &amp; dinner.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I would have extended my stay there for another day if not for my parents&#8217; constant nagging &#8230; wanting to go back to their home. Zzzzzz.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I do not dare imagine another trip like this for at least another year or so. *sweat* My brother &amp; I got nagged each time we bring the folks to some restaurant for some better meals. They were always complaining that we&#8217;re spending too much money and why not just eat some hawker food. Argh! Even when we were happily enjoying in a German restaurant &#8230; our dad was asking if there is rice served. Rice???!! Oh man &#8230; I know it is so bad to be bitching about it but I guess I need to let it all out. Hahahaha!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ndroo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/gallery\/fitzand-kl-trip-2011\/Fitzand---24-June-2011---06.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"399\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Enough of the rant. Here are some snapshots of the kiddos having big fun in an inflatable pool at my brother&#8217;s house. I burned lots of frames in a roll loaded in my La Sardina on the kiddos but not sure if any will turn out fine. Will run to the lab during lunch later.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ndroo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/gallery\/fitzand-kl-trip-2011\/Fitzand---24-June-2011---07.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"399\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It wasn&#8217;t easy trying to get decent shots as I had to go pretty close and risked getting my camera drowned. The kiddos will start splashing and shooting water at me when I am near. *sweat*<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ndroo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/gallery\/fitzand-kl-trip-2011\/Fitzand---24-June-2011---08.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"399\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Fitzand was complaining that the pool was a bit too small. Hahahaha! He wanted a real swimming pool! Maybe I should get my brother to work super hard and buy a big bungalow with a pool &#8230; ready for our next trip there.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ndroo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/gallery\/fitzand-kl-trip-2011\/Fitzand---24-June-2011---10.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"399\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We took turns to be the &#8216;sacrifice&#8217; &#8230; entertaining the kiddos in the pool.

Oh man &#8230; there were rubber duckies floating all over and we were sure if there was anyone looking down from the block of apartments nearby &#8230; we will both be in the local papers the next day.

If I am not wrong &#8230; it was a Canon 7D. After a while &#8230; I placed my La Sardina on the table and during that few seconds of silence &#8230; I said &#8216;let me show you what a real camera is!&#8217;. Hahahahah!
