Surprise!!!!

We made a (rather) last minute decision to head to KL to see how you were. We've been checking in on you for your meals and every time, you complain about the food, the price of the food.. 

So last night, daddy checked with Ashley Kor-kor to see if she's ok with us crashing at her place. Turns out Chek Kong and gang are visiting too. But they arranged for the 3 of them to share a room and for the 2 of us to take the other room. We had to leave Mei-mei behind because she had her busy weekend schedule, and also needed to revise for the upcoming exams next week. 

This morning, we dropped Mei-mei in school. But had to make an extra trip to school. She had left her badge at home which would be her third time meaning 1 demerit point. So we rushed back to pick it and battled the jam back to school. Then we headed to Kg. Jawa to eat and tar pau your favourite CKT. We bought 8 packets: 4 for you and 4 for the occupants in Ashley Kor-kor's house. 

Rushed back home to shower then went out again for our dentist appointment. After all was settled, we headed back home to pack and have another shower, and clear some work before starting our journey down south. 

Today's journey took so so so much longer. We were stuck going uphill towards Menora Tunnel. That jam added an extra 40 minutes, resulting in us hitting KL right smack into the office rush hour. But we were too early to head to the dinner location. So we headed to Nu Empire to pick up some sake for dinner. 

Let me rewind back to our planned surprise: I had (cautiously) checked in on your dinner plans. You had told me Jyu Raku. So I asked the time you planned to leave (added a "worry" for high Grab cost and traffic). The Ban clan decided to join us at Jyu Raku. Uncle Dennis was already next door as he had just come back from Singapore. Our table (for 11 pax) was booked and he had told Zen (the captain) to inform you that they were fully booked!

So everyone arrived and we parked further so that you wouldn't notice daddy's car. When Uncle Dennis confirmed that you and Denisse had arrived, we headed to the restaurant and daddy pounced on you with a big hug. The look of surprise on your face was priceless. 

Shortly later, everyone else arrived and we ordered a feast for dinner. This is your favourite.. and after tasting it, I understand why.. it's amazing!

We then dropped you both back to your accommodations and headed to Kor-kor's house to rest for the night. 

We're so glad that we made the plan to visit you. You also looked so happy that evening with family (and your parents.. )
