I’ve been home since 11/3 but see, now only I managed to find time to sit down and blog peacefully. I’ve been so busy since I came home, it’s not funny.
Although it’s only been day 3 since I came home, I feel as if I never left at all with the exception that I just can’t get enough of hawker food. On Wednesday, we had brekkie at the new market near my place and I had a tosai and a roti canai, with a teh tarik gelas besar, and I still had room for more but I didn’t push it coz we were going to have lunch at *Kofi Haven, my uncle cafe later that day. I couldn’t believe that I was able to eat so much! I guess the portions back in Sydney has conditioned my stomach to be able to increase my portions and you know la, portions here compared to Sydney is simply so small. *lol* Yes, I am a glutton when it comes to food - I love food and I’m not ashamed to admit it. Heh. 
After brekkie, we headed off to visit my aunt who has been under the weather due to some serious health issues. I must say that I could hardly recognize her but I could certainly see her old self in there somewhere. Prayers for her health and to regain some strength is most welcomed. We need all the prayers we can.
Then on Thursday, Mum and I were out half the day hunting and shopping for baby stuff including a bath tub for Arianna coz Lord know how horribly inflexible I am and bathing her kampung style has seriously taken a toll on my back. If you’re not sure what this style is, to me, it was the way my Mum bathe me and her mum used to bathe her. One sits on a stool with legs outstretch and lays baby on those legs, facing upwards. Then pours water over and scrubs soaps baby, in the same manner. Not being flexible is one matter, stomach in the way was another so I was huffing and puffing away trying to bathe her whilst making sure Arianna doesn’t slip from my hands. I’m sure all of you know what soap on skin is like and with a cacing kerawit like Arianna - haiyolar! Damn scary…..
So, bath tub bought and it’s a bright fluorescent pink one - such a sight really but watodo, no choice, then I got her some diapers as well as the clothe ones, a nightime baby lotion - smells SO good coz it’s lavender, and some shampoo. I also plan to get her a walker because seriously, it’s no joke lugging Arianna wherever I go because I can’t really leave her on her own now that she has learned to turn.
Today, my poor baby is down with the cold. 
So she’s asleep after I’ve doped her with some baby Panadol. Hopefully this cold goes away before our flight to JB for Sis’ convo in JB. We got a direct flight from Penang to JB on Air Asia - I hope they don’t screw up! Well, I best get going now…..stupid dogs just barked and they might have woken her up. Bah!
*The has been a huge change in decor and the menu is fantastic!! No joke - go and check it out yourself. It’s really nice and I recommend the Seafood Crepe. YUMMO!
