“Your birthday is a special time to celebrate the gift of ‘you’ to the world.”
We made a short trip to Tangkak from Malacca. Just so Bro D could meet his nephew, Baby Zeeq for the first time.
We had pizza.
I wished we had cake but there was no cake store to be found there.
So I bought some food supplies for Bro D in return.
Happy birthday adik. You’re a big boy now. You are 20.

Selling baby merchandises is a lucrative business. We bought this spring cradle for a price just less than MYR200 -pole and cloth included. Online would cost us roughtly MYR150, maybe less. But shopping OFFLINE is so exhilarating!!
We bought it from Yong Fong, a specialized baby shop on Jln Tun Perak, Bachang. Though the store looked dilapidated, the things they sell were just everything that I needed. Nice. It would be a good place to shop again for Baby No 2. Say, in 2 years time?

I thought it was char koi. But Mr Husband insisted it was Kuih Tulang [=bone cake]. So, Kuih Tulang it is. Its got a nice texture and slight crispiness to it eventhough its been standing out for a while. Nice finger food. And we sure got a lot for MYR 3.

And TESCO Malacca was my love at first sight. I would be perfectly happy and content to shop just in TESCO here. Apart from the house brand, there were lots of eateries like KFC, Secret Recipe, Kluang Station, Ayam Penyet etc..
Here I can get contact lenses for theres a few optical shops, get a new set of baju kurung or scarves from First Lady & such. Furthermore, to a bookworms delight.. there is also POPULAR and mynewstand. Not to mention, my favourite drugstore .. Guardian – for all the supplies I need like my facial wash, sanitary pads, Ayam Brand Chicken Essence!! There’s also that MYR5 store and a little stand selling lots and lots of big, big stuffed toys!!
[hyperventilating …]
And the best part is.. in TESCO itself there’s fresh milk and whip cream. Its like having Cold Storage (Kuching) right at my doorstep!! They may be short of a hair salon
Loving bits of Malacca already. Looking forward to explore this city. Well, Insya-Allah I have my whole life to do that and Mr Husband might as well become my tour guide.

Mr Husband showed me a glimpse of our future. It was a ‘blueprint’ of a 2 storey-house he doodled on his own. Our little crib which we could call our own. A bit of a tweak here and there with some cash at hand, the ball should start rolling any time soon. A family home. Nice.
