Family Matters

Last week was mentally tumultuous for me, as I let myself be drawn into the political developments of the country. It was almost a welcomed relief when Malaysiakini loaded with nothing really exciting today (as at 12.30 pm), save for the ringgit (re)peg suggestion, which personally seems to be a knee-jerk reaction, again!

We had relatives visiting from Brisbane, Bintulu and Melbourne, actually three sisters from different places, on Sunday. True to (family) tradition, food was the dominant theme, with a high-tea themed gathering at Aunty Freda’s, culminating to dinner at “The Heritage”. It’s always heart-warming to meet family, especially when we’ve not seen some for many years. I’ll like to say that the years have been kind to us, and we’ve been blessed.

Unfortunately, I didn’t manage to take many photos, but I am sure the following will send some scurrying to the stalls:

We also had some durian puffs, which was bought from Causeway Bay Dim Sum at Crown Square.

STP may post some pics of the food we had at “The Heritage”, as I was not in a position to be snapping away. (STP was not at dinner, but a diner very kindly snapped away, and emailed him the pics already).

Anyway, before the sisters left Kuching, we managed to bring them out for the infamous kolo-mee at Kim Joo at Carpenter Street. Again, I didn’t take any photos, as I’ve taken some before, so they had something like:

I love it when coffee shops still serve coffee in the traditional coffee and saucer set. I think at least three of us had 2 cups of coffee this morning.

To Teresa, Pauline and Genevie, it was really great seeing you all. Hope you all had a great time, and have a pleasant trip home.
