Tumbler-ing: Blame it on Taboo

Here's the story:

After church, last Sunday (28/12/2008), we went to my grandmother's house to play some games. We reached there about 12.45 and then started to play Cranium for 1 and a half hours. Then we started playing "Taboo" as in not in groups but altogether. We played a couple of round and then came my turn, and I got this card..

and I said,"Which is the only stop on the way to Fraser's Hill ?" and although Dad and Grandma was quiet, Aunty Jo answered "GAP !!". Dad looked at Aunty Sue.. Both had a sense of excitement in their eyes. Uncle Tjeri was a little confused at what was happening.. and then Aunty Jo caught the excitement from her two siblings (my dad and Aunty Sue) and then, Dad almost shouting excitement, "Aiya, should had gone to Fraser's Hill" and Aunty Jo, Aunty Sue and Grandma couldn't had agreed more. The clock struck 3.

So about fifteen minutes we were all talking about what could we had experienced if we thought of going to Fraser's earlier. We had settled to the fact that we couldn't book a hotel for holiday during Aunty Jo and Uncle Tjeri's stay here since we had asked earlier. So I kind of pushed my dad into calling the hotel in Fraser's instead of just fantasizing about what could've been. Then, dad called a Ms. Nalini from Shahzan Inn. The phone was put to loudspeakers. Ms. Nalini said there were exactly 3 room left for one night and she said she'll keep it for us if we wanted it. We couldn't believe our ears. Dad was almost shivering. Aunty Sue had that"ooooo-it's- going-to-be-exciting" face and Aunty Jo was asking Dad to book it on the spot, while Grandma (the cutest of them all) was crossing her fingers the whole time, hoping that we'll get the rooms.

Dad put down the phone and called Mom who was at home waiting for a meeting which was suppose to start at 4p.m. in our house. Mom said "OK.. I'll have the meeting while you all pack upstairs and after the meeting we'll leave" and Dad proceed to call Ms. Nalini again to book the 3 rooms and that we'll be there in about 4 hours. Dad and I rushed home from Grandma's house, packed our stuff, even had time to go to the bank to withdraw some money while waiting for Mom to finish her meeting.

So at 5 we went back to Grandma's house, picked Aunty Jo, Uncle Tjeri, Aunty Sue AND Grandma and were off to FRASER'S HILL !!!!!!!!!!!! On the way, the whole time I was thinking,"This all happened because of TABBOO !!" It was really refreshing and the whether was so good even if it was only 24 hours. Here are the pics..
