Start of daylight saving

It's the start of daylight saving again. We lose an hour today but what I love about summer is the longer hours of day time. When we arrive home everyday, it feels like we are home early. It was so liberating and purposeful when you feel you could do so much more when the sun is still out.

I'm starting to miss home, so I have been working hard to keep myself occupied. I am engaging myself with my jewelleries making, house cleaning, washing and cooking. Lately, hubby has been very supportive and encouraging with my cooking. He eats more of my food and gives good comments. That motivates me to cook even more and better. Apart from that, we have been watching heaps of movie which I will post later on.

Back from Malaysia

Time flies.. 2 weeks is over just like that! Well, I can't complain. I should be thankful that I got a cheap flight home and I managed to meet all of my family members. Had a great time eating all the delicious meal I was craving whilst staying in Sydney. It was like heaven! Apart from that, it was so good seeing all my family members. My only regret was that I didn't go back for CNY this year. I promise myself to not save on money but to grab every opportunity I can find to fly home and be with my family.

Some highlights from the trip home this time.

1) Penang trip was fun. Went with in-laws and my family. Did some shopping and of course the laksa and char kuey tiew I missed.

2) Saw dad and uncle's new factory. The company has diversified and we are doing something different and less stress. Although it was less stress for most of the employers, things seemed to remain the same to my Uncle Lawrence. He is still as stress as ever, all the years I've known him managing the company. We all worry for his health.

3) Celebrated mum's birthday. I purposely planned to go home to be with my mum on her birthday. So, that was great!

All in all, I cherish every moment I have with my family. Looking forward to seeing them again this coming CNY in february.

Going back to Malaysia

It's been a while since I went home.  After I got married, this is the first time I went home. That's like 20 months ago! Pretty excited and I am, actually at SYD INTL airport and using the free internet access to just blog while waiting. Will be back in Malaysia for 2 weeks, then hubby will join me the second week before coming back to Sydney together.

The bag allowance is quite strict nowadays and for international flights, check-in luggage has to weigh no more than 20kg per person while hand-carry is about 7kg. We bought some stuffs home, and as usual, we always have alot of stuff to bring home. Check-in luggage was good, only 19kg. I am bringing home a laptop in addition to my normal hand-carry. Praise the lord, at the check-in counter, met a bible study member and won't go into details cause I do not want to ger her into trouble. 
But you can guess, I suppose. She will even help to look out for us when we come back to Sydney so we can get good seats. =)

So, all is good! Hope to catch up with all my close friends and have a jolly good time with families.
Will blog and post pictures (if any) when I come back.
