Shah Alam House

It's our family tradition to spend Chinese New Year in Kuala Lumpur every year to visit my dad's family. This is the house that I spent most of my childhood Chinese New Year's at. When firecrackers and fireworks were still legal; when my grandfather was still alive; when the house was bustling with constant festive activity. Now it has grown quiet. In recent years, my uncles and aunties have gradually moved out to live with their own families, leaving my grandmother and an aunt alone in a huge house. It might not remain for much longer; I wanted to remember it by.
