MOSQUITOE BITES

I don't know how many bites- See his right ear thickened.. and swollen head! My poor poor baby - sorry darling - mummy didn't look after you well enough. I dunno why I can't win the battle with the mosquitoes?

Views from the boat

Penang realestate has become so expensive. Unbelievably expensive.
To think that these expensive dwellings are on reclaimed land... just give me the shivers.. (and the shitters)
Rohan's lower lip was swollen (I think the ant got him). Poor thing, until now he still have a few obvious mosquitoes bites on his face.

Big lip or not I am sure he had a jolly good time there. Yesterday he said to me "Mummy, let's go to the beach" - amboih!

What happened in 6 mths (or so)

The first picture, I took in Nov. last year (2009). Look what it is now... I thought it was going to be a little house on the beach but it is a raised platform with a roof --- perfect for picnic! or just relaxing

"Sedap hingga menjilat jari" (finger licking good??)

Thank Allah for mums we (I) just had fun and ate ate ate..

Th water quality is not the best in the world but kids had fuNNN

My Dad with my kids (I swear that my Dad is 10 times fitter than me!)

We didn't catch any fish that day, we just took a joy ride around Tanjung To'kong area...

My old friend from USM and ex-housemate came ALL the way from KL just to see us.. Thank you Kak Suhaya... (jangan serik datang my mum's house lagi).

BACK HOME

We are back home safe and sound after a short trip to Malaysia..
So many things unachieved... like calling or visiting several friends (this I regret most)
As for things to bring back, I didn't put too much thought into it....

If I think about it - so many things that I could have bought in Malaysia....
..... but do I really need them?

This time the most prized things that I got .. I think..
1. Kapok pillow [can't beat sleeping on traditional kekabu pillow]
2. Batu asah pisau - Grind stone for sharpening knife [I noticed all my mum's knife are very sharp and my knifes all very blunt...]
3. Rose flavour ? colouring - this is Hisham's fav. so far I haven't found it in Tassie.

Things that I regret bringing back.... kids stupid toys - hahahahah

Will post some pictures soon
