Its Been A Week

Well actually it's been only 3 days since we left Ipoh. We made a trip back to Ipoh buit since we had to wait for Ah Kong's car to be ready we could not make it back on time for the prayers session. Never mind, maybe we could make it the next time. By the time we stopped by the money changer, picked up the fried oyster and pumped petrol for the car we only arrived in Ipoh close to 6pm.
Actually we have another reason for heading to Ipoh. Remember how we were supposed to attend a special function last week which had to be cancelled? Well it was your Li Min Kor-kor's wedding. She and Kevin Teo-teo had planned for so long to have the wedding in Bali. Too bad, the timing wasn't too good. So now that they're back in Ipoh, we were having a small tea ceremony with the few of us.
We were rudely woken from our sleep this morning. What was the cause of it? Sigh, they were fogging for mosquitoes. This has to be done either during the dawn or dusk, this guy picked dawn! And you got a shock as they actually walked into our compound to fog the area. After that we both could not sleep, so we freshened up and went down to have breakfast.

Headed back up and got ready for the tea ceremony. Dressed you up then I got ready while daddy kept you entertained. It was filled with laughter despite turn out being so small.

Wow! Ang Pows to be given!

.. for you!

After all was done, we headed out to town to Pusing Public Restaurant for lunch. It was the same place we went to on Wednesday after the funeral and to my surprise you could recognise that place. You told me: Mummy, this is the same place we came after we sat the bus. Of course you were happy with the place being and air-cond restaurant!

There was heavy traffic to get to that place, worst still to park as there was a market there which was not closed when we arrived for lunch at 12pm. Then again, that was a small matter. Lunch was fantastic, especially this:
"Big Head" Prawn

We're enjoying the food!

Only 20 of us, but it was a lovely celebration.

Congratulations to Li Min and Kevin!
