This is by far the most photo-packed “Looking back” post. Continue at your bandwidth’s risk.
1st August 2011, Monday
Kath said to me (while she was closing our front door), “Come and have a look!”
Have you ever seen such a contraption? I don’t even know what it’s called – basically it goes around the tree, opens up like an upside down umbrella and shakes the trees of its dry leaves. Save some time raking them at the side of the street. But hey! Never seen them in operation before. This is a first.

Honey haul from Arataki.
Bumped into HollyD there and whose baby is still unwilling to say “Hello world!” Apparently Arataki is her daughter’s favourite place.

First ACC claim.
My toe looked a bit swollen yesterday and it hurts a little when I put pressure on it. I’ve had this pain before but I never bothered checking my toes because I put the pain down to occupational hazard – being on my feet for too long in closed-toe shoes. It was definitely swollen yesterday (so glad I took a photo) but of course it looked like nothing is wrong with it today when I went to see David. So I showed him the photo I took yesterday…

I’m at week 5. Where did all my time go???
I refuse to accept that I have to go back to work soon. Sad to think of it. I can’t remember how the dispensary looks like.
Yes, yes. I should enjoy my remaining 1.5 weeks of holiday without panicking about it ending yet…but I just can’t ignore the fact I’m flying out next Sunday.
*hyperventilates*
I have not bought any souvenirs or gifts for friends in NZ. I feel a bit stink but truly, for those who know, I didn’t have time because I was busy running personal errands (not like I was sitting around doing nothing and poof! 4.5 weeks were gone…more like I can’t believe I’ve spent all that time “working”).
Hmmm what’s a “worthy” souvenir from Malaysia that reflects my 6 weeks holiday here?
Yup! Great start to my Holiday of 2011!
21st August 2011, Sunday. Not looking forward to the long transit in CHC though.
Breakfast is like a lunch set!
When the newly weds came back home about 11am or so, we were taken to the paddock by the side of their house to see some cows! We city folks don’t get much of that back in Malaysia – especially when it’s JUST beside your house!
From being brought up as a city girl, to loving it as a country woman – what a transformation for MissYap in the past 3 years.
The cows were not impressed with us pointing our “black boxes” at them, but aren’t they cute looking at you??
