A pig in a poke for Chinese New Year

It is a culture for the Khoo family to have reunion dinner for Chinese New Year. I was introduced to an aunty whom I was told, owned a 2-bedroom apartment at Bayu Beach Resort and that she can give us a discounted price even for this super peak season.

As this apartment is introduced by A, owned by B and managed by C, aliasing with my husband and I, there were miscommunication. First is the rental rate, which changed from RM180 to RM200, then on the day of arrival, from Bayu Beach Resort to PD World Marina, some budget apartment.

I was so angry and disappointed. I don’t even want to be in Port Dickson celebrating Chinese New Year in the Grandma’s house that can turn into a sauna, plus the annoying Buddhist chanting song playing the whole day and every day, the prayer/chanting session and mock meat in the first place.

I don’t think I can take this anymore. I want to stay as far away as I can from their Buddhist/Chinese/family culture, whatever they call it.

Hopefully I will stay in Admiral Cove, which I planned to reserve for this year actually, and have a happy holiday with my son and only join them for dinner at the Grandma’s house.

And my mother-in-law’s chanting ring tone is killing me.
