To eat or not to eat

My son Noel told me that my blog is all about eating,...sad but true. I realized that as well. But then again , what is there to do in Sandakan or KL or Malacca for that matter. Well you see, I am not into extreme sports, like drug taking, body tattooing, or road raging,...I am not into death defying sports, like bungee jumping, smoking, or borrowing money from ah longs,... I am not into Ah Ee type sports, like cooking, gardening or mahjong ,...I am not into Ah Por sports of quilting, babysitting or neighbour watching , so, I spend my leisure time eating....what can I say? Cant apologise for something I do intentionally.....so if anyone is jealous, too bad.....hehehe. If you think I have put on weight, keep it to yourself! Everything in this world is going down except my waistline.

Ok, now let me say that the most memorable thing I have done this trip is....of course, eat!!. We ate all the way from KL to Malacca and back. The food here is simply a delight to the palate, especially the nonya food my mum stirs up. Sorry lah I cant cook like her.

As far as shopping goes, I seemed to have lost the addiction for it, much to the relief of my husband. But this doesnt mean my bags are empty....no,no,...still full of things , but no need to pay for excess baggage. $5 on airasia is enough. Well, if your are at home in sandakan, let me tell you , you have missed nothing. Not many sales here. The things are the same as when I was here in Jan/Feb/Mar and now still selling the same "baju". The shoes are cheap, but , before you buy them, you better make sure you have insurance !....the nice ones are all about 4 to 5 inches high.! Either that or you wear them in your bedroom and never leave the house. Oh! ,or if your husband is Richard Chung and you want to breathe the same air he does way up there....hahaha.

So far I have walked Ikano, l Utama, Mega Mall and the Gardens. Tomorrow We are going to KLCC and Pavilon.....window shopping to exercise the calf muscles ( walking non stop ) exercise the goose bumps ( aircon too cold ) and exercise the bladder ( working overtime due to the cold ) so,....what happens?....eat lah, to keep warm ! cant be hugging in public, incase get caught by the religious affairs people, hahah, also too old for this, might end up in tanjong rambutan...want to look trendy so cannot dress like ah por with woolen shawl.....dont want to look like sampah por from ulu telupid, so, come back with running nose.....all for the sake of looking cool. Next time better stay at home.

After having said all of the above, I actually dont give a dam what people say or think about me when I am travelling. Life is a blast if you enjoy everyday at whatever you are doing with whoever you are with and eat whatever your doctor says you cannot eat!!!! Dont be a worry wart ! For yesterday was the spent money order, tomorrow will be the post dated cheque but today is the cash you have in hand to spend !!...so my dear friends, live life, smile and the world smiles with you. Cry and the you cry alone! Enjoy and good nite.
