There and back

Source: etsy.com via Amelia on Pinterest

Last week was full of good food, lots of walking + shopping, large doses of family bonding time, and overall enjoying life and all its little moments. Which explains the quiet around here.

I had every good intention to schedule posts before I left. But as it usually goes, my good intentions came to naught as the last-minute packing + pre-trip preparations took over.

But now that I’m home from family vacation, I’m working on catching up with overdue school assignments (!!!) and settling back into reality + routine after a whole week of fun and relaxing. While I (kinda) wish I were still on vacation and miss all the good times from last week, nothing beats coming home. So I’m reveling in the memories and embracing being right here, right now.

And once all the hubbub of school and stress is over, I hope to be back soon enough with some fun blog posts I’ve been wanting to share. Stay tuned!

HOME SWEET HOME

After 9 days away, more than 1000km on the road, and 3 cities later, I can tell you quite resoundingly that it’s good to be home.

Truth be told, I’d actually planned on updating and scheduling posts before I left, but I got too caught up with packing and finishing up last-minute preparations for the trip that I didn’t get the chance to.

Anyhow, I’m back! Albeit, a little heavier on the weighing scale, a little poorer in my pocket, and a little (much) refreshed in my spirit.

God worked out this trip to be a lot better than I expected in so many ways, I couldn’t be more thankful.

We spent two nights in KL, one week at Fraser’s Hill church camp, and one night in Malacca. Here are some of my favorite highlights from the trip!

1. Staying at an amazing, super comfortable apartment, Ascott Somerset Ampang.

2. Shopping in KL and Malacca. (I still can’t believe that I came home with five pairs of shoes!)

3. Seriously authentic char kway teow and pulau hitam from the Little Penang Cafe at the Curve.

4. Perfectly roasted barbecue pork with the best ever marinade, and crispy roast pork belly from the Overseas Restaurant, KL.

5. KRISPY KREMES! (Please bring it to Singapore!)

6. Hanging out with these girls (and all the young people) at Fraser’s Hill. I actually really miss hanging out with them!

7. The BEST putu piring from Malacca – the taste is exactly the same since I had it as a little girl ten years ago.

Add to all that, really great traveling companions.
‘Twas a brilliant trip, indeed!

So, Christmas is only FIVE days away. My Christmas wrapping is (soon to be) underway, and I hope you’ve gotten all your shopping done.

I CAN’T WAIT! (:
