A DAY TRIP TO TAWAU

On hari raya haji we went for a day trip to Tawau. It was to be a trip for Andrew and me but the girls wanted to come along.
We stayed over at Emas Hotel.... our regular hotel. We didn't get our regular room though. The one we stayed in was a bit smaller....or maybe I somehow underestimated the girls' sizes. We used to 'fit' in perfectly well with only an extra bed added. This trip....Hhmm...I must remember that children do grow.. bigger!

We didn't get to do much with such a short time there.
A trip to the 'big' market for the much famous indonesian goods ( I ended buying a tin oven (he he..can't help myself), a kilo of binjol and the ever popular 'amplang' keropok ).
Sale was around everwhere but I only bought the bigger girls these two lovely white blouses for only RM13 each (70% off). It's for them to use on their caroling nights.




















We did however managed to have dinner that night with Andrew's brother Charles his wife Alma and their children, Aaron and Ally Jane (yeah... my in-laws la ) Chinese sea food dinner that cost over RM200 but worth every mouthful.

Ha ha... we managed to 'lined' ourself up in that king sized bed for a short afternoon nap. Unfortunately sleeping with children is something you have to get used to because I ended up sleeping in the couch that night.



















Lydia and cousin Ally Jane and the girls enjoying the meal.




















That's me with the last minute 'cleaning' of the plate



















Tisha got the tough task of 'disposing' of the head





















That is what's left after we have 'gone through' them









That is how I look after the ten hours 'holiday' drive.... tired and tanned!
