Early Bird

Woke up at 4.45a.m. to wash up and to wash clothes. Went downstairs at 5.15a.m. and did not see any light on in Choo’s room. Knocked on the door several times before she woke up.

Dropped her off at the airport. Came home and snoozed for another 20 mins before shower and went to work.

Felt like a zombie the whole day.

Dinner at Food City

After work, Choo wanted to go to Milimewa Supermarket, Inanam to look at the clothes for sale. I ended buying another pair of shorts.

We went to Food City for dinner and there were not many people eating out due to having had gone out the previous night for dinner to celebrate Mother’s Day.

We liked the 'tau miu' veges. (Mum does not like this vege so we seldom eat and therefore whenever I have chance when I eat out, I will try to order this vege)

Choo liked the ‘Ko Lo Yuk’ (pork) as well.

She did not like the ‘ikan bakar’ and therefore I ate most of the one piece and took away another piece.

Mother Day's 2009

Woke up at 6.15a.m. after having about a very good 7.5 hours sleep with the air-conditioner on full blast.

Choo and I went to the corner coffee shop across from our hotel for breakfast.

I had ‘sui kow' (dumplings) and it came with herbal soup. Absolutely yummy. I think they had to be the best dumplings I had ever had, apart from the ones made by mum.

Choo had fish ball and I had one. She said that was the best she had ever eaten.

She had yam cake but I did not try.

Lastly she also had ‘char siew cheong fun’. She said the ‘char siew’ was the best she had ever eaten as well. The cheong fun was ok.

The people at the front table were having beer with their breakfast, something I saw first time in my life.

After breakfast, we went back to Sky Mart Duty Free Shop to buy more chocolates after surveying other shops.

Then I bought one last bar of liquer chocolate before we went back to the hotel to pack and rested for a while before checking out at 10.30a.m.

The receiptionist at the hotel helped us to call the cab company to send a cab to the hotel to take us to the airport.

Our two baggages combined together weighing 16.7kg. We could have brought another double portion of what we had.

Choo rested at the airport while I went to look at the shops. I discovered one of the shops was selling chocolates I did not see in any of the shops in Labuan town. But the prices are more expensive as compared to town.

We flew back on a B737. We were served cups of juices but both of us did not take any. Instead Choo asked the stewardess for a cup of water.

Terminal 2, KK

KKIA

We arrived back at KKIA at 12.45p.m. For the first time in my life, our baggages came out first.

CTY came to fetch us and we went to Damai Phase IV bread shop for lunch. When we were leaving, we saw Peter Chu and Choo talked to him.

We rested in the afternoon and in the evening I made sushi for our dinner. Choo also helped me to make some.

The rest went out to Masakan Sedap to celebrate Mother's Day.
