I can see both of us sleeping away our next few hours. AH is already in dreamland, right after waking up from the night sleep at 1 pm! This is what happens when you spend many hours driving early morning & late at night keep AH company in case he catches a wink or two with no chattering once on Malaysian highways. I didn't drive, but I didn't sleep too as I needed to in a while. I guess that means I deserve some naps later on too.

I enjoyed the trip. Many things were cheap & converting whatever price you saw into 2 just makes you feel like you can afford almost everything. There's plenty of space (in & out of the malls) & parking is ridiculously cheap, at only RM$1 even for the biggest malls. And of course, halal food at every corner.

Memorable moments?

Stopping by a road-side stall set up in front of a house & chomping down on pisang goreng & keropok lekor. It was prolly the most sedap & murah keropok lekor I've ever tasted. If the ones in S'pore are thin & expensive (4 pieces for $1, not expensive enough?!), we bought a bag of fat, juicy keropok lekors for only RM$1 - all piping hot, straight from the wok! I brushed off the guilt of having zits, for the momentary pleasure of biting into a keropok lekor.

Kedai kropok lekor sedap :D

The hotel we stayed in, that's another "memorable" event. Let's just say, there are some things money can't buy. But for everything else, like comfort & clean sheets in a hotel, there's mastercard :D

Well at the end of the trip, alhamdulillah everyone's happy & safe. AH is happy coz he got to know how petrol-efficient his SUV is. I'm happy coz I survived a road trip with his family.

For now, it's back to everything mahal & segala benda pun kena keluar $ place - this place we call home. And of course, back to work also laaaa....

the other time, when we went to KL, my dad and my hubby dun want 2 drive, so we've got a good bragain package frm konsortium during the m'sia fair @ suntec! but seriously, i would rather drive up there so that we can 'angkut' all our buys and just dump it in the car. Very leceh when u take the bus and have to alighte at the check point, u know.

and yes, haf to agree! their kropok lekor very chewy, rite!!! I oso likeee!

Glad that u had fun!!

TM sis, nanti kalau tak bawak dorang, windu pulak...then camner nak shop in peace? Hehe!

Anne, I wonder how Amsterdam is like during winter... mesti best kan?

Esra, you brought up a point which didn't cross my mind - storage! Yeah that's an issue...so looks like kalau nak shopping sakan in M'sia..one must drive! Hehe!

my dad doesnt like to drive there.. coz KL nya roads very tonggang terbalik. eventhough we're there once a year. hurhur.

oh and not to mention the jam. *sighs* part tu kalau nak pi toilet.. macam nak lepaskan je dalam kereta. not that i've done it yet. hahaa!

but i do agree on the shopping. gerek kan. so easy to divide everything by half. :)
