Merry Christmas
Not blogging in over a week, means that lots of “away-from-computer” things got to happen. Last week was spent mostly going out to various malls, and getting various shopping done for Christmas. Then Christmas eve came, and it was the usual family reunion dinner thing. Christmas day was a blast, as usual – big party, many guests, generally lots of fun! Some of the myoss folk came too.
So, if you’re ever in the Subang area in Malaysia, there’s a rather nice mamak joint called Gazebo – pay it a visit. Woke up sometime Sunday to find out that we cancelled our Penang trip for Monday morning, since the killer earthquake/tsunami hit, so decided to go out with the girl instead and spend many hours out, including catching the rather hilarious Kung Fu Hustle.
Seems our planned family holidays always have tragic events around them – Penang this year, hit by a tsunami; Langkawi last year, when we took a drive, and then there was a landslide at the highway (closing it for more than 6 months). And going back to ‘94, Northridge earthquake when we visited San Francisco/Los Angeles (my first time outta the country even!). Anyways, thanks to ya’ll that sent thoughtful e-mails asking if I was still around and okay – its much appreciated.
Most of the week has been slow, being around traffic jams, and spending quality time in the car. Caught A Cinderella Story yesterday, after my visit to a pasar malam – show was good, and so was my visit to the night market. Ate lots of food (that I’d normally consider horribly dirty), had a good time walking around with the girl, and I think she was impressed I didn’t fuss at all about the visit… So, my first visit in over a decade, rock.
