Fried Noodles and Cats Whiskers

I have been a bad, bad blogger! I'm here in Kuala Lumpur and I haven't so much as logged into this blog since I touched down here!

It was strange being back home at first (especially since I miss The Engineer who's stuck at work)

I've never been away from Malaysia for more than 6 months. This time I was in Dar for nearly a year and for the first few days it felt weird to be back. Don't get me wrong, it was all I could do not to get down on my knees and kiss the (tar-ed!) roads the minute I set foot in KL but I also felt strangely disconnected - like I was more an observer than a participant.

I think it was due to the fact that I was away for so long because the feeling has since dissipated. I'm now back to my old fantastic-at-weaving-through-traffic-jams, fabulous-at-sniffing-out-clothes-on-sale, fried-noodle-eating, soya-bean-milk-drinking Malaysian self!

The first day I got here, I rushed straight to the hawker centre and got myself a packet of fried noodles(after greeting The Engineer's and my family first of course!). Boy, was it good to get delicious food that didn't cost the earth and since everything here kind of stays open half the night, I didn't have to kill myself to get there before 8pm either!

The very next day, I happened to be passing by my fave boutique called Cats Whiskers (cute name, huh?!) and nearly screamed with joy when I spied the SALE sign! Woo hoo!!! I ended up buying a pair of jeans that fit perfectly for just RM20 - that's right RM20 which is approximately USD6. Can you believe it?

Anyways, I shall be back in good 'ol/bad 'ol Dar shortly. I have been bad with the camera too so no nice shots to post but promise to step it up during my last week here.

Cheerio for now : )
