Christmas isn’t Christmas (2)…

As I have said in yesterday’s post, Christmas isn’t Christmas if not spent with loved ones – family or friends. Melissa had a terrific time at last year’s Christmas party, so I decided to hold one again this year… …but a slightly toned-down one at that. Last year, we were planning a western-themed party and [...]

Christmas isn’t Christmas (1)…

Christmas isn’t Christmas…if it is not spent together with one’s loved ones and I sure am glad that my daughter decided to come home for the holidays as it is at such times that we would miss them most of all. We did not have a grand celebration – no open house, like in my [...]

Just passing through…

You will never be able to guess where this is, with all that greenery and even a nice little pool with flowing water… It is actually at the KLIA (Kuala Lumpur International Airport) and unlike before, inside the domestic departure lounge these days, they have placed a lot of chairs for transit passengers to sit [...]

Last flight out…

Well, it was one of the morning MAS flights, in fact, but not the last flight out. Our flight from KLIA home to Sibu was at 7.30 p.m. that evening and I did not dare to take the 5 something flight from Penang in case there was a delay or cancellation and we would not [...]

One last time…

It was on our last night in Penang and I received an sms from Mandy at around 4.00 p.m. saying that she just had a very late lunch and would not be so keen on having dinner, so I told her that we would be perfectly all right on our own and she would not [...]

He’s the man…

…and now, the post that Merryn is waiting for! LOL!!! I met Eugene for the very first time when I was in Penang in August, 2009. He was and still is, a very nice man – so easy to get along with…married to a beautiful wife and blessed with two wonderful sons. He took my [...]

It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas…

It’s Christmas 2010, the season of love and joy…peace and goodwill to all men. *Fam Mun Shun’s photo on Facebook* This is the time when people will send cards to family and friends, near or far and go shopping for gifts for everyone. I got these from my dear friend, Mandy, when I was in Penang… [...]

Bang bang…

On our way back from the Cameron Highlands to Penang island, Mandy took us to this fishing village named Bukit Tambun. There, you can find a lot of seafood restaurants… …something like what we have at Kampung Buntal near Damai Beach, a short drive from Kuching city in Sarawak. We had our dinner there before [...]

Up in the hills…

Other than being a hill resort and tourist attraction, the Cameron Highlands is basically an agricultural region with tea plantations all over… …and beautiful gardens growing all kinds of flowers… …of all shapes and sizes… …and in an myriad of colours… There are also cactus plants with colourful blooms… …and pitcher plants, otherwise known as [...]

Moment by moment…

Believe you me, we were already bursting at the seams after the steamboat lunch but we just could not resist stopping by this place for the irresistable strawberry desserts… They had all the alluring stuff on display in the glass counter like this blackforest cheesecake… …and their strawberry strudel… My daughter had that (RM7.50)… …and [...]
