What is it about KL that I can never leave without a heavy heart? Can’t believe it’s been two weeks already and come the weekend I’ll be back in Sydney.
It’s been awesome seeing everyone again. Glad that some things don’t change too much! :)
I have been (not surprisingly) shopping like a mad thing. KL is on sale and who am I to resist? Glad I came back with a suitcase full of beef, there is lots of space to fill and I’ve done said space some justice. Very excited about the ton of books that I’ve procured, and my new camera - there will be lots of pictures to post when I get back to Sydney!
Also not surprisingly been eating a lot. I swear all Malaysians are genetically wired to love food! Discovered some nice new places to eat and drink thanks to my food loving friends. Tonight we went to myelephant, and I was massively surprised that the waiter who served us was amazingly pleasant, patient an accomodating! Good service is common in Sydney but terribly rare in KL. I’ve taken a ton of food pictures to console myself with when Winter comes around..
Had lunch with the family on Carey Island last weekend. It was gorgeous. At the far end of that island was a beach, though a poor excuse of one given the amazing beaches on the East Coast, it was really nice sitting in the light drizzle watching ships sail past on the Straits of Melacca. We also checked out the asli settlement at Kampung Sungai Bumbun, where dad’s carving of the spirit of the chained tiger originated from. It is an amazing piece of work dad picked up many years ago. I’ve always been fascinated by it and it was so interesting to be able to see the asli craftsmen at work on similar carvings. I want one of my own, it’s the year of the tiger!
Was planning to do a day trip with T for some chicken rice in Melaka, but kind of got postponed indefinitely :( Hopefully we will still manage Moussandra, somehow the trip doesn’t feel complete without a sangria session with my girl..
