While you were away (Day #5)

Sleep-deprived (ideas for my paper came during the night and I had to absolutely work them out)... BUT what an exciting day!

Some of my good friends were in Penang ~ because of Edmond and Ee Ling's wedding reception (they got married in Ireland in July).

Hung out with Lydia and Ben Tan this afternoon ~ eating Bangkok Lane Mi Goreng and having dessert + coffee at China House.

What a great time of fellowship we had. 

The wedding dinner was fun too ~ because I had the opportunity to meet up with friends I haven't met since 2008. Some couldn't recognize me and when they finally realized who I was, they asked me what I did to my FACE.  

I was so tempted to say, "I did plastic surgery" ~ even though I jolly well know that the smart(er) people would have been likely to tell that it is a fib. The smart(minus -er) people might have secretly thought... "Hmm... are the results really worth all that money?" 


Haha. I should have said that ~ just to see how people react.
 

Had to take pictures with Louise and Wei Nin ~ since they are only going to be in Penang for one night before flying back to Sarawak.

They would have loved to meet you too. Sau Chan and Mellisa took good care of them throughout their stay here. We have such supportive CG members! Thanks for coordinating everything, dear hubs.

And we called Lydia into the picture with us...

She sends you her love ~ :)

I can't wait for you to be back home tomorrow, hubby!
