Visit 2nd brother and 2 nieces home
Day 10 into retirement - Flight to home town
Took AirAsia flight AK708 15:40pm to KL with spouse & kid.
Pick up wife and kid and visit 4th sister's home along the way
Went to airport to pick up wife and kid. Fourth brother-in-law was kind enough to provide the transport as I did not drive the car into Malaysia for this trip.
Along the way from the airport, we stopped by 4th brother-in-law house in Bukit Sri Cheeding.
He renting out some of his free space to people for Fish Farming. Mainly for Catfish and they typically will start with few million of tiny baby fishes. An eye opener for my kid who have not seen a Fish Farm.

My running partners while in Malaysia
While in Malaysia, I still try to allocate time to continue to run so as to stay fit and do not slag down. Two of my young brother's children have been keeping me company for most of my runs while in Jenjarom, Malaysia.
My running route typically were several rounds around the 400m running track infront of my younger brother's house, all the way to the north main road, run towards the Chinese Temple (TongZanShi), back along the shop houses, south towards the end of the village, back to home running tracks, spring several rounds and rest. Distance covered approximately 6km.
These two children are really lovely...

Day 8 into retirement - With nephews
Visiting niece ZhaoLing's family
Went to Klang town to visit my niece (daughter of my eldest daugther) ZhouLing's family.
Visited their home and office. They have 2 very lovely sons, look street smart too. Good for them.
Her husband is in Fruits distribution business. His phone was working almost non-stop that day. Looks like a very busy man.
Had a nice lunch together with them. The restaurant is famous for pork ribs. The boss was a man from the same village (Jenjarom) that I came from. He knows my mom and started quite a long chat over lunch. His wife and 2 sons helping him in the restaurant, and a lot of workers ! He is a multi-millionaire now and own several properties in that town. One comment he made is that people need to spend what they earn, no point keep earning and not spending.....

Day 7 into retirement - Visiting 3rd sister, nieces and cousins
MORNING
Slept over night in my niece Jean Chua house near KL last night.
Her daughter is so so cute and adorable. Very lovely and intelligent kid. Spent sometime in the morning playing with her. She does not speak much but understand a lot of things.
My 3rd sister helps take care of her as her parents are both working.
AFTERNOON
Went to Kajang to visit my cousin sister MayKwee at her stationary shop. Have a late lunch (my favorite Wanton mee) there. She and both her children manages the business. Looks very organized and doing well. Forgot to take some pictures there.
Went to visit cousin brother SengSeng whose shop is a few doors away. Shop was also clean and well organized.
After that, went to KL to visit cousin sister MayLan at her stationary shop.
Co-incidentally another cousin ChiewKwee from Seremban was also there at her shop. Was glad to meet her there since I have not seen her for a long long time.
EVENING
Went for dinner with my 3rd sister and all her children with their partners (spouses or fiancees).
Good choice of restaurant with good food.
After dinner drove back to Klang town to my eldest brother son's house to stay over night. Very clean, nice and fairly big house (about 22' x 75' ?). Elder brother and wife and mom was there too. Will visit his daugther place tomorrow at the other side of Klang (cross the river).

Day 5 into retirement
Went for breakfast with eldest sister and her husband, younger brother and his family and mom. 3rd sister came and visit later in the morning.
Spent most of the time reading the book "Jungle".
5pm left Jenjarom with eldest brother-in-law to stay over-night at his house in Klang town. Planning to visit his sibling homes tomorrow, some of whom I have not met for more than 10 years. Was glad that the internet access in Klang is much more stable and faster.
