After the usual vegetarian breakfast::~
We hit the road towards Daddy's hometown::~
Ipoh::~
Yes::~
We're such a couple, no~?
Well, after reaching our hotel::~
My sisters & I were still all drowsy::~
Daddy went down to yum cha with his frend from Aussy::~
And I was lying on the bed::~
and for no utter reason::~
I gave myself a hickey::~
It was a huge step for me k::~
I've never gotten to give Simon or anyone for that matter::~
A real-LONG-lasting-RED Hickey::~
And this one lasted bout 1 week plus::~
I'd be all happy and proud::~
IF
I can do it again::~
=.="""

Then it was Dinner with my Dad's Elder Bro::~
His sons (my cousins) had their new houses
SIDE BY SIDE::~
