Today we go out for noodle soup in the morning for brunch with my uncle, auntie, dad, AL, GL, KL, ML, AT and T. You get to pick out of curry or just plain soup and what kind of noodles you want; thin, thick, egg or rice. Every bowl gets a few vegies and fish balls and in a separate bowl, you fill it with your choice of stuffed vegies and they cook them up for you. This bowl gets placed in the middle of the table for everyone to share. Some of the vegies available are; stuffed red chillies (the long ones, so aren't all that hot), stuffed eggplant and okra. There were also some deepfried items.
the vegies. In the back, where you see a silver cylinder, is full of boiling water and is where the fishballs get made.

Later on, my sisters dad and I catch a train to go to one of my uncle’s house for the day. Later, we have dinner with few other uncles and aunties and cousins then head off .
Dad goes home and we meet up with AL, KL, GL, KE, and T at some markets at about 10-ish. I can’t remember the name of them but they are KL’s longest market and we don’t finish them XD instead we stop by a little restaurant for some refreshments. There’s a selection of desserts and fruit juice and soft drinks. I get ais kacang. :)
Baby deepfried crabs from the market. They weren't that good, just really crunchy with not much flavour

After a breakfast of frog congee, noodles and vegies etc. we go to the Batu Caves. There are 272 steps and lots of monkeys lol. My auntie and AL don’t go up cos they’ve done it before and it was also a hot sunny day. My sisters, dad, uncle and GL go up though.

We were going to go to Malacca today, but once we finished with the Batu Caves, it was about 2pm and seeing as driving there would take 2 hours, it wasn’t going to be worth it. So instead we just go home and on the way, we get some fresh coconuts cut up for us at a street stall we drove past.

We have breakfast out…the longest breakfast of ever, it takes a total of 5 hours because the place we are going to is far away and there is also a traffic jam. Malaysia traffic jams are awful!!
In the afternoon, we go to the supermarket with my auntie and AL, they are quite different to the supermarkets in Aus, firstly for poultry and fish, none of it is prepacked so you grab you own instead of asking for them at the deli. There is also a sushi section which is quite popular. They also have several different flavours of Ribena there and a little section of dried fruits and stuff.

After that, we go to the pet shop to find a new toy for AL’s dog and there you can buy sugargliders as pets as well as some other animals I've never heard of like Syrians which look like little rodents and Winter Dwarfs. Speaking of unusual pets, my cousin KL, (same initials as Kuala Lumpar lol) has a pet hedgehog, it’s so cute, it fits in the palm of one of your hands…aww, I didn’t get any photos of it tho :(
Winter dwarf: they look like tiny furry balls. lol

Today, we are doing more shopping with AL and GL, poor GL, so bored being dragged around by girls all day. In the morning we go to some boutiques then head to the shopping centre later on in the afternoon. Here is when GL gets less bored I hope as we are on the lookout for some ties and a belt for him.
afternoon drink, tea in a can...kinda confuses you at first because you think it'll be fizzy but it's not XD
We have dinner at home and head out that night with the cousins. After a late night roti, we go home and sleep :)

Lazy day. We pack and chill at home. We head to the airport at about 6-ish… our flight is at 9:40pm. There is enough time to have dinner at the airport before we have to board. Then it’s off back to Australia.
