So, I'm back in Miri now after two weeks of vacation.

In China, we (relatives, mother, myself) went to the Yunnan province: Kunming, Shangri-la, Lijiang, Dali.

It was hectic. One of those vacations where you need a whole other vacation to recuperate from. It was one of those tour bus with full time tour guide and a packed schedule of sightseeing vacation so it was busy-busy with lots of getting on and off the bus.

Lots of family bonding too. I haven't seen my cousins in a few years and they have all grown so much. And then there are the new little cousins that were wee babies and infants when I last saw them and are now are little balls of fiery energy. What is it about me that bring out the roughest side of every cousin that wants to play with me? Oh and there was the new cousin I got through marriage. She's a fun one. Pregnant too so in a couple years when the current batch of younglings have outgrown giving me bruises, there'll be a whole new batch for me to pick on.

Got sick after coming back. It was icky. I'm serious... dried mucus in my nose and phlegm stuck in my throat upon waking up; constant sniffling and nose blowing; coughing (which I'm still doing from time to time though, oddly enough, the cough mostly went away after a night of drinking)

Hmmm... dad just knocked on my door. Will continue this later.
