Hello!! Wow! Looking back i had realised that i have not been on here for ages now!!!
Well, have been keeping really well! We had a great trip back home but then again at the end i was ready to come home! I was wishing for my bed! And of course it does not help that i have been busy growing a baby and expanding my bump! Things were just getting that tad bit uncomfortable at some points!
However, here is a rundown of our break back home!
We left Aberdeen quite eventfully! This was coz we had to evacuate the airport about 5 mins before we were supposed to board our flight for bound for London...there was a fire alarm that went off..... humff.....as if that was not enough, they made us wait outside the back of the terminal building and then made us get in line to get back back into the departure hall...the line was massive!!!! People were trying to cut the queue everywhere possible! Not fun!!! But anyhows, we all made it back to the departure hall in good time and the second time we went through security was funny, Miks had gone through it the 1st time uneventfully ie: no beeping of sensors...so she thought she'd be fine the 2nd time, but, she was not that successful that time coz she set off the sensors and had to be searched!!! Imagine the sight of an 8yr old getting searched / body checked by security at the airport! Shame as i did not managed to get a picture of it!!! Rather a funny sight!!! The look on her face was priceless!!! Anyways, all was well in the end! We managed to get on our plane in good time for our transit time in Heathrow! Gosh! Heathrow was another story! There were so many people about that airport, it is easy to lose each other from sight if we are not careful especially when Miks likes to wander about around! But anyways, we managed to get some dinner there before boarding our flight bound for Singapore! It was Miks 1st try at sushi and did she like it? Yup she did!!!
This was her enjoying little bowls of sushi and a bowl of udon noodles!
After that we did some walking around in the airport but i found it hard to maneuver around so many people. So what i did was to have Miks follow her daddy and i went into the duty free shops to have a look at stuff to buy. I ended up buying 2 bots of perfume for gifts. At least it was a successful shop! Soon after it was time for us to go to the departure hall where we were again met with loads of people! And all this ppl were also going to get on the A380 bound for S'pore! All the excitement!!
! Unfortunately i did not manage to take any pix
prior to boarding...was just too tired at that point!!! Flight was great to say the least for a 24 week pregnant woman! Was not too uncomfortable....and was able to walk around a fair bit!! Food on the flight was alright as well! Arriving in Changi was pretty fun! Only thing was we did not have enough time to browse around at the airport due to tight connection time! Finally we arrived in KL at about 9pm that evening. The first thing we all wanted to do was eat!! And the thing we had wanted to eat most was roti canai! And that we did! The moment we arrived a
t mom's place, we went to the 24 hr mamak shop that had roti canai! That was yummy!!!
This picture was take a day or two after arrival in KL. Also, whilst we were there, we had an opportunity to meet up with Pas. lynda and family. too bad Pas. Daniel was out of town. but he was really really kind coz he knew i liked durians, he called all the way from Cameron highlands to someone and had durians delivered to their home so we can enjoy them after dinner! The durians i have to say were absolutely delicious!!!!
Jet lag never seem to have left us, i think it stayed with us almost all throughout our break! So none of us was sleeping early or waking up early! It was always a late nite with late mornings!!!
After a few days of resting we headed for Mike's home! When we arrived in Sibu, the thing we had wanted to eat there was the local kampua noodles! (again forgot pictures, just too hungry to eat it right away!) That was again of course delicious!!!
Was there for a couple of weeks, then we went on and drove to Miri. Miks will say at this point, this is where she was born. At least that is what she can be proud of!!! Hardly lived there much! This trip was an eye opener to Miri coz having not lived there for a good few years, much has changed! They now have a flyover albeit a really short one!! Traffic congestion in Miri has not gotten better but in fact has gotten worse! However, Miri was an eventful trip as well. We managed to meet up with some friends whom we have not seen for a couple of years! And then on top of that the car/taxi (brother in law's taxi) got into an accident! Well, he got hit by a mercedes i hear them say....i was not there at the scene! That was not fun!!! But what was kinda alright was that we got to stay another night in Miri! So got a chance to meet up more people! Then it was back to Sibu for us and thereafter back to KL for a few more days. In the last few days we spent in Malaysia, Mike got sick! We all got quite worried as with the swine flu still rampant, we decided that since he was not getting any better, we would go and see a doctor! So we did and thankfully, it was not the dreaded flu but an upper respiratory infection! So meds did its job. But this was a downer for Mike as he was not able to enjoy all the good food around in KL.....too bad for him! But for me, i still enjoyed all of my eatings!!! YUMMY!!! Thinking about it makes me hungry!!
Then it was time for us to return to Aberdeen! Our return trip was pretty good with all things considered, we had a great trip home!!!
Have to get a picture of her actually enjoying it though. She is quite good at riding it! Having said that however, she did crash into the bushes once and she came running home crying!!! But she recovered soon after...and the next thing we saw...she was off on the scooter again!!!
