Fun Times 2

Thursday 26^th November 2009

We head to a Japanese restaurant for brunch and then do…more shopping! lol, we can’t get enough,

Tonight is the pre wedding dinner at their house. The main dinner that everyone will attend is tomorrow. The one tonight is smaller.

Dinner is a buffet with noodles, rice, curry and pork and chicken as well as fruit for dessert. Set up in the carport and there are tables and chairs set up in the front yard.

Afternoon:

After the tea ceremony was lunch which was another buffet and also a huge roast pig. It was sooo yummy, wondering if I can acquire something similar in Australia.

Fun Times

Lazy, lazy me. Haven’t updated in ages. Quick rundown of the timeline. We went for 12 days from Nov 24 to Dec 6. Here goes my recount for the first few days...

Monday 23^rd November 2009

Packed and ready to go, we fly from Sydney – Melbourne and wait it out there for over 5 hours before check in even opens, a little shopping was to be had but not much as our luggage was still with us. Being so early meant that we were, near the front of the line so we had time to eat before we boarded

I will say though, the service was SLOW, 10 minutes to do ONE check in, although we were near the front, it still felt like we were waiting a long time cause they were so inefficient. I won’t complain about Qantas lines again.

This is my sister's cat...he's sleeping on my clothes that I just packed.

Cute and annoying at the same time lol

Tuesday 24^th November 2009

Our flight is at 1:30am give or take. Boarded and ready to fly for the next 8 hours! Not much sleep was to be had unfortunately courtesy of a crying baby sitting close by L

7am ish: we arrive in KL, baggage is taken and customs is a breeze. We are greeted by my Aunty, cousin and dad (dad arrived a few days ago) we dump our luggage and then go out for breakfast.

After breakfast we sleep for a few hours then go shopping :) many shoes were bought. Shoes come in my size here! unlike in aus where size 6 women’s rarely fits.

Dinner with the family at home. Last time there were so many people at the dinner table was when a few of them visited us here in Aus :)

Wednesday 25^th November 2009

Everyone is a late sleeper, so breakfast always ends up being brunch XD, we go shopping again!

For dinner tonight, we go out for crab, delicious, I can’t remember the last time I had crab. Yummm, we also had prawn curry served in a coconut, beans and tofu (both deepfried) and mantao.

salted egg crab

Cheese Crab

Later that night we went out with the cousins for a few drinks. Afterwards we go out for some late night roti, I love that some of these shops are open 24/7 .

Tonight, 3 new guests arrive arrive to stay with my cousins. AL's friend from Singapore and Mrs Chiyoko and her daughter, ML's host mother and sister from Japan.

Another blog and photos soon :D

Back

Touched back down in Australia yesterday morning...after a long and uncomfortable flight. Much love and hugs to all my family overseas for giving us a wonderful 2 weeks. Can't wait until I see you all again. ^^

Have been sleeping mostly since we got back. Might start unpacking as well later today.

Photos up soon.
