tropical fruit farm; tropical/exotic fruits, blended fruit juices, shady trees. 

seafood by the pier; tanjung tokong sunset, jumping over rocks barefooted, discovering an abandoned light house, hanging out on the ledge with the sound of waves down below our feet and the wind in our hair.

straits quay; after dinner strolls, frozen yogurts, wanderings, beautiful lights.

this is a post looong overdue! so, last friday was ahkong's 80th birthday, and we had a small, intimate dinner. relatives came back from the states and singapore and others flew in domestically just for the night. it was warm and touching, especially the part where ahkong gave a special dedication to popo, and made her cry with a bouquet of 12 red roses. everyone was in their highest spirits, even my fever and dizziness and nausea worn away as the evening proceeded with laughter and tears of joy.

hui and me did a presentation, which ended with akhong looking like this! now all his friends call him superman!

we four girls always end up embarrassing ourselves at dinners like these, singing with ahkong on the karaoke to his favourite song which literally translates from chinese as "cute roses".

and we also doubled as candy-giveaway girls at the night's conclusion. our job was to smother shower guests with sweets!

ahkong and popo with her lovely bouquet of roses :)

their three kids all grown up!

the night ended with a frenzy of family photo-taking. and many tired but happy giggles, smiles, and laughters. and snores till the next morning! the next day consisted of a fruit farm outing and a sumptuous seafood dinner!

many thanks to him for being in charge of my camera the entire night as i was so dizzy i could faint, let alone focus and shoot.

to be continued...

blogging lagged recently, preoccupied with so many things to catch up on -- sleep, eat, sleep, eat, watch masterchef reruns, gatherings and meet ups, sleep, eat -- at home. got the results of my last semester at monash back, although was not up to my set goal by 4 marks, but still am quite satisfied :) now to get all my assignments back, my academic transcript, and try typing out a resume and gathering all required certificates for job/further studies/scholarship/study loan applications. and tell u guys about the fantastic weekend that we have just spent as one big family! till then, goodnight(morning)!
