Touchdown at KK airport, in time for family lunch at home. Then it was R&R session in the afternoon, before the feasting began for the reunion dinner.
Movie of the night: Gori Tere Pyaar Mein
Plot summary: Spoilt brat meets social activist heroine who needs rescuing from dangerous situations. Spoilt brat turns into reliable, engaging hero and wins the heart of heroine who tells him her activist role is not finished until she eradicates poverty and hunger. They walk into the sunset knowing this is a long-term plan.
Since it is family tradition by now, it was time for shopping at Suria in the afternoon. In the evening, we went to see the musical fountain as Beh Ling has not seen this tourist attraction.
Movie of the night: Sense & Sensibility

Movie of the night: Pride & Prejudice
Plot summary: The proud and arrogant Mr. Darcy succumbs to the charm of vivacious Elizabeth Bennet. He declares his love for her, and then unromantically informed her that it was despite his better judgement, due to her inferior social standing. Infuriated, she declared she will not marry him even if he was the last man on Earth. Rest assure, there is a happy ending to this classic Jane Austen tale.
Sun 2 Feb
Bikia is not feeling well due to over-active bowel movement. We went for an evening walk and short jogging session at the nearby park.
Movie of the night: Monsters University
The take-away from this movie is this - even if you don’t have the natural born talent to be a Scarer to be employed at Monster Inc., you start at the mail room and work your way up. In other words, perseverance pays off.
Bikia left on the 4 PM flight.
Tues 4 Feb
After a visit to the EPF office in the morning, we were off to the airport for Beh Ling’s 12 PM flight.
Visit to the dentist, followed by a haircut. Then it was back to answering work mails even though technically one was on leave. With an evening flight back to KL, the CNY holiday is officially over.
