Family Day

My mum always say Sunday is Family Day and no one can escape from that, so we went for another trip today to Malacca, mainly because my sister wanted to shop. So, we shopped in Mahkota Parade and yeah, my sister bought a dream for RM 130, well, my sister begged my mum for so long that my mum finally agreed to buy that as her birthday present.

Then, we walked by the beach, Jonker Street, and Portugese village, ate Cendol, seafood. Today is a nice day anyway.I love spending time with family as they are people i am most comfortable with. As in there is nothing we can't talk about.

Yeah, so tomorrow i am heading to Sabah and totally excited. Guess what? This is the last state before i accomplish my mission of touring the whole Malaysia. Now, done packing, and viewing our trip itinerary. Thousands thanks to my beloved housemate, Nia for settling everything and come out with this wonderful plan
