| Making Dumplings |
So I shall begin this post by talking about yesterday. We didn't do anything very exciting yesterday. I began my morning by Skyping with my parents for the first time. It took them quite a long time to figure out how it works but once we got it going it was really nice to see their faces. After I spoke to my parents Heather and I got ready to go out to another huge mall. My Aunty's friend Pat came to pick us up and we made our way to South East Asia's biggest mall, "Mid Valley/Gardens Mall". The mall is basically split in two but connected through a few bridges. The Gradens Mall side is a very high end shopping mall, much like the one I spoke off in KLCC. Shops like LV, Burberry, and Gucci.The other side, the Mid Valley side is a more affordable and lower end shopping mall with tons and tons of stores, everything you could ever dream of buying could be bought in this mall. When we first got there we decided to go for lunch. We went to a mega cute Dim Sum restaurant. We ordered delicious dumplings, Heather got Sweet and Sour Soup and I ordered these better than life Fried Mango Shrimp rolls. Mango, Shrimp and custard filled sugary batter, I could eat a million and then a million more..

After lunch we did a little bit of shopping. Heather bought a fabulous floppy hat and I bought a pair of shoes. It was a very successful shopping day. By the end of shopping we were shocked to find out that we had spend almost 5 hours and had only made two purchases. I guess that's what travelling on a budget means. When we got back to my Ama's (grandmother) place we had some delicious dinner followed with a nice walk to Baskin Robbins. When we were walking and eating Ice Cream my Aunty Siew Eng told us a story about how my Grandmother and Grandfather met. So here is a short version. My grandfather owned a cafe shop and my grandmother and her friend went to eat there. My grandfather spotted my grandmother and began to talk to her. Afterwards he asked her friend, who frequented the shop, for my grandmother's name, and information??? did they have cell numbers or Facebook back then?? what would he ask for I wonder. Anyways, after following her, giving her rides home and insisting on taking her out she finally gave in. This all seems very Romantic but I'll let you know that at the time my Grandmother was 18 and my Grandfather was 38 and was already married. Sorta reminded me of the movie An Education, if you haven't seen it watch it! So eventually she became his second wife as in multiple wives. After the walk we returned home for some down time before falling fast asleep.
