Fun Weekend in Melaka

I just got home from having quite a fun weekend with a friend in Melaka.

We spent just overnight in the tourist trap Jonker Street but it was enough to get our fill of some delicious chicken rice balls and cheap kaya balls! We did some shopping--although one of us more than the other *wink*. The weather was simply gorgeous and was very conducive for walking about looking at all there are to see.

In short, we had fun!

Here are pictures for you to look at.

Happy Birthday Jules!!

Darren and I hope you had a blast during your celebratory dinner, ice cream and cake tonight! Oh, and of course I hope you like your presents! 

Have a happy birthday, dear friend!

Bang 4 Buck

Lasagna, Spaghetti Olio (I think), Chilled Salmon Pasta, Carbonara

I've fallen sick, yet again...mind you with more or less the same thing as before. I seem to fall sick quite often ever since I started working and it's no wonder too, with the minimal air circulation and having multiple (sick) kids cough into your face and all that. Sigh, I really must build up on my antibodies.

Still, I managed to have a last spontaneous dinner before I have to hold off for awhile. Su Lyn and I skipped to Italiannies where we tried their special 4 pastas for RM30 and although as you can see, their portions were quite tiny and only meant for two, the excessive talking helped put a little air in our tummies to not make us order more! Quite suitable for tiny eaters who want a variety of delicious pastas.

I recommend this to everyone who want Italian food and are on a budget. 

Happy Deepavali!

Happy Deepavali, Darren and family! 

Thank you for inviting us over to your home to wreck havoc on your youngest host! :D

Also, the food was awesome and believe me when I say I got my fill of muruku!

"Come eat my food...or I'll smash mutton curry in your mouth!"

Darren's homemade muruku which I absolutely die for!!

Jules and June satisfied with the yummy Indian food.

The well dressed host with his slightly off grin :D

Velkommen!

I got word that my godparents, Linda and Ole had requested my blog address from my dad. I haven't met them since I was 8 years old so here's a BIG shout out to you both! I hoped you have learned more about us while my dad was in Denmark and wished I could have come along to visit! Hopefully, your visit to my blog will bring you more up to speed with what's been happening in our lives (OKOK, mine mostly since this blog is central to it :P).

To make things easier, here's a list of posts containing lots of pictures (so you don't have to wade through tons of posts to get to the juicy bits!)

Great friends having loads of fun trying to beat each other!

And of course, little brothers make good accompanying dancers! XD

Old friends gearing up their "rocker" faces!

Oh, and if you're wondering why these pictures are kinda grainy, that's because I used my new cell phone to take them. That's right, I went out and got myself one last night after my old one kaputed. Which, do you ask? Well, you'll find out tomorrow :D

Not gone yet

Now Playing : "10,000 Promises" - Backstreet Boys

Hi everyone!!

Sorry for the mega long absence, I hope you guys aren't too bored waiting for a new post to come up heh! As you may have guessed, I have been really busy with work--and yes, I'm still enjoying it immensely--and almost always fall unconscious in front of the computer before you can count to ten!

But, as every working drone can rejoice about, it's the WEEKEND!!!

Ahh, bliss!

I am definitely not going to open my eyes until noon tomorrow, I am going to catch up on my shows and I am going to give my vocal chords a good rest from talking very loudly with children! Wheee!

Oh, and how could I forget? Have to catch up on my blogging as well! Although, there isn't that much to say, unless you want to read about my work, work, work and more work. But I can tell you this much though, the children at the center where I work are FREAKING adorable!! One of these days, I am going to give in and pinch some little boy's cheeks! Wahahahah!!

Justina, AWESOME dinner-dessert-coffee combo tonight! I loved it and I can't wait to see you next week! What more could we possibly catch up on I wonder?? Have we covered three years of being apart in one night? ;)

Friends to the End

(Actual conversation that took place last night)

Sue : If I ever had to do that, I'd rather jump off a building.

Darren : Same here. I'll join you on that.

Sue/Darren : You jump first.

My Absence in Pictures

Apparently, my absence of producing new posts have been noticeable. So, I've decided to share with you guys what I've been up to the past 18 days in not so many words becauseimtoolazytowriteanessay. Not too many pictures either but hey, they did say one picture = 1000 words. So I'm good. :P

The *main* distraction. 

Was incredibly happy to have Phil spend his break here from the (too much) sun and sand in Afghanistan!

We went to watch Marie Digby perform in person at 1Utama. Too many people were cramped into just one mall, but it was a nice show. Didn't quite expect Phil to buy her album but I'm glad he did because I'm enjoying it *so* much!

Ran into cousin Kelz while at the showcase too! Love the shirt!

Finally went to experience feeding fishies with our feet at the Fish Spa. 

Can't wait to go back for round two!

Met up with D-Man for movies and dinner. Provider of all things funny, as usual ;)

Celebrated a very significant date; my parents' 25th wedding anniversary. Had a wonderful time and ended up being happy to have Phil drag me on to the dance floor. Woot! Had cake.

Us doing what we spent most of the time doing; spending time together (at too many malls too many times). 

18 days sped by too fast, but that only means so will the arrival of August!

Final Farewell

The final farewell gathering today was truly a spectacular success! I had loads of fun and all the food was exceptionally yummy and we bonded for the very last time before venturing out on to our own roads not trampled. I don't have many pictures this time as my newly bought camera battery died on me, so guys, gimme your pics!! :P

Meanwhile, enjoy ;)

I, Camwhore

Yesterday's camwhore pics are up!! OK, admittedly I'm in almost all of the pictures below, but by goshdarnit, I wanted to camwhore as much as possible because I dressed up! Nyeh! Anyone wanting high-res pictures just email me, if not just head over to Facebook. XD

Enjoy!
