the wacky wombat weblog

Been bumming around a bit with Au Yong for the past 10+ days. So it’s been a fattening break for the both of us. Especially since he came back with the resolution to “eat every 3 hours” so that he can taste everything on his “to eat” list at least once before he goes back to Japan. :p

Spent a quiet Christmas in Singapore. Avoided the crowd in Orchard Road like the plague, and had Christmas Eve dinner at a mexican place called El Patio in Holland Village. Absolutely yummy (fantastic salmon salad), but servings were so huge i couldn’t finish my burito even though I really really wanted to.

To the unfinished-burito: I’m so sorry I haven’t got more space in my stomach for you.

After that we headed back to KL to visit our families. For some reason, KL looks more and more kampung. Maybe it’s because there were too many potholes and trash around. Hmm..

Besides family dinners, countless shopping trips and plain lazing in front of the television (Cantonese drama on satellite TV! w00t!), we also visited his dad’s new fish pond.

It’s a long drive up to I-dunno-where. It’s on a hill somewhere in uber ulu-ness Rawang. But it’s a nice place. Feels very “back-to-nature” with all the hills and, water from the hills! haha.

It was also the first time I ate rambutan that was plucked straight from the tree (and not from a pre-packed bag in the supermarket)! haha. I’m such jakun city girl. Too bad the durians were all gone by the time we visited.

So of course, I was snapping away with his new Casio Z850 camera. Great camera, and HERE are some (hopefully good) photos of the scenery there. (Alternately, click on ‘Photo Gallery’ on the navigation bar above, and check out the album titled ‘fish pond’.)
