Facebook

Thanks to the invention of FACEBOOK (www.facebook.com), I spend most of my time checking messages, pictures and chatting with friends/collegemates/schoolmates/relatives/new friends. It is amazing just how many people we can meet on facebook!

Because of that, I have uploaded a whole lot of pictures from our Italian trip and also our family holiday in the UAE in Facebook. If you have an account in Facebook, do check it out. In the future, I will be uploading more pictures in Facebook. It is so much easier to upload photos in Facebook - so much faster that the blogger!

Enjoy the photos!

Happy 2008!

Greetings from Kuala Lumpur!

It has been a while since I last updated my blog. Hmmm, lots of photos to upload, no time to sit and get it done. First, it was the adrenaline rush and worry about taking our little six-month-old to freezing Italy, and then it was packing and fitting everything into a suitcase, but it didn't work, so Dev had his own suitcase, I had mine, and baby has his own, too! Imagine us at the airport in Milan - three huge hardcase suitcases, a stroller and a carseat! Never mind that. It was an enjoyable trip, and baby enjoyed himself and the cold. Dev and I were amazed by his good behaviour. With a baby and a trunk full of stuff, we travelled in our rented car (together with another rented car by the captain and his family) from Milan to Genova, Pisa, Florence and Venice. Dev and I took the risk of travelling with a baby, but it was so worth it!

Less than a week after our trip home to Abu Dhabi from Italy, Thiren and I returned home to Malaysia on a very-full flight! Thank goodness, though on standby basis, both Thiren and I managed to get seats. Three days later, Dev arrived on a jumpseat and spent three days here. We attended our friend's wedding reception at KL Tower. Congrats to you both Joanne & Eu Jin! Happy Honeymooning in New Zealand! ;)

After Dev left for Abu Dhabi, Thiren and I returned to my hometown with my parents. We spent X'mas and New Year back home with friends and relatives, and it was so much fun being able to be with them after not meeting up with the entire family for a long time.

Today, we travelled home to KL with my parents. We will be spending the coming weekend in Malacca (Dev's hometown). My in-laws are awaiting our arrival and looking forward to seeing their grandson again. Thiren and I will be returning to Abu Dhabi on 11 January when Dev comes and goes home with us. Dev has a short trip to Dublin on 12-14 Jan, and it is freezing in Dublin. I think I have made up my mind not to go on this trip to Dublin with Thiren, though I wish I could go, because it is a short trip and a day before Dublin we would have just arrived home in Abu Dhabi. Too much of travelling, waiting at airports, packing and unpacking. Another time perhaps, when Dev has a longer trip there.

That is all the update for now. I will upload pictures soon, as soon as I get a chance to do so ;)

Here's wishing you a wonderful new year and may 2008 bring us more joy, happiness, love and world peace.
