minggu #13

December has been nothing short of amazing.

So, the family arrived .And from that moment on , there was not a single boring day.

 

“Family is everything” , I remember that during Vinesh’s speech.

And just like that , the 3 weeks flew by.

All that laughter , all that food , and all those photos!!

2 days later , a trip to Penang , where we spent more time in traffic than being on holiday.

Golden Sands , Penang – my  favorite kid-friendly hotel- rooms have been refurbished , too

The highlight of our trip was parasailing for sure. I remember doing this 20 years ago with absolutely no fear . Fast forward 2019 – It was really scary

Mahendra – made us proud

And so did our little Aleeyah.

 

So , the plan was for me to get here the next morning , ALONE .

But Mei Mei insisted on coming along , and clearly wasn’t prepared to wake up early. Dinner was disappointing but ambience was BEAUTIFUL. 100% come back for breakfast , just because it really is pretty in there!

Wasted chance of experiencing hawker food that night.

On our way home , we had lunch at Song River Cafe.

The star dish is the Hokkien Fried Prawn Mee , but at 2 pm it was sold out.The other is the white Bak Kut Teh, I wasn’t impressed , but Mei Mei loved it. The others we ordered were average , but to be fair , all the “highlights” were sold out.

 

December has resulted in my pants getting a whole lot harder to put on!
