Sorry all for not being able to update this blog.. I've been super busy for the past couple of weeks.. no time for blogging, facebooking and even TV.. I can't even remember the last time I watched TV.. The reason being is I was being repatriated back to Malaysia.. we are bidding farewell to Vietnam that has been our home for more than 3 years.. Melati actually refers to Vietnam as home.. she's only 1 1/2 years when we first came here..




On 26th June we pack all our stuff to be shipped to Malaysia..


The next day we decided to spend our last weekend in Vietnam doing the same thing that we have done for all other weekends before.. as if we are not going back to Malaysia the day after that..

We start the day with our usual wrestling and gigling session on the bed..


Nilam is having her last swim with her Japanese friend Aoi..

Later the girls begs to go to their favourite restaurant, The Satay House.. We were actually quite lazy to go there today since it is situated quite far from Ho Chi Minh but the girls keep saying that although there'll be plenty of food in Malaysia but it won't be the same since it is not from Satay House.. pretty smart reasoning huh?

With Uncle Ahmad Foo.. the Satay House towkey..

And finally to the movies.. It's all that we ever do here.. we were watching Night at the Museum II that afternoon..
We stopped by for our favourite Pho noodles stall on the way to the airport.. We are going to miss starting our days slurping those delicious and satisfying broth..

Saying Good Bye to Quy.. our driver for the past three years..
We arrived in Malaysia on Sunday afternoon.. The first place that we go to is the Pasar Malam.. nilam is actually so "jakun" to see the Pasar Malam.. she keep asking whether all the food is halal.. the food I really miss the most here is the Apam Balik and Tau Fu Fa.. once we have to live abroad we will start to appeciate all those little things such as the pasar malam that sometimes define our culture and our country.. Another thing that I miss the most too is waking up in the morning to the sound of azan.. and I can't also wait for Ramadan to come..


Atuk and Nenek from both sides sending the girls off on their first day of school..


Melati's first school day experience and Nilam's first day of School in Malaysia.. Since it is July it is very difficult to find books for Nilam.. we searched the whole KL for certain books.. most store ran out of it but didn't order more because it is already July.. we end up photocopying some of nilam's books..

The girls now.. all settled in Malaysia.. they prefer kaftan now.. "Du Lundi Au Samedi" pyjamas are too hot to be worn here.. Unlike me.. they lose some chubbiness due to the transition... I secretly wished that I could lose some weight during all these but sadly that is not happening.. *sigh*

It's a relief to finally be home.. but Vietnam shall definitely be missed..
