So.
I got my chance to visit Shirlee in Kuala Lumpur.
Not the way we had planned, but a visit, nonetheless.
Shir was REALLY sick and in the hospital for a few days and upon returning home realized she could use some help.
That's where I came in.
Talked to her Sunday evening and was on a plane Monday evening!
Yup. Fast and furious.
So, here are a few of the pics I took...
Ethen and Maya trying to get each other wet!
Shir (after she felt better) and Maya at the
infamous food truck.
I wish it came to my house!!
Maya and I stopped to pose on our way to the mall.
(realizing I'm not going to wear that shirt again... not flattering!)
The amazing artist who wrote each of the girls names on a single grain of rice.
Then the rice was put in a charm and made into necklaces for Ken and Kimbel,
a keychain for Madison.
Shout out to Mad - who took her driving test the day after I left and passed with flying colors!!!
Is it wrong that she had to drive herself to the test?
Picture from inside the Chinese Central Market.
What a fun place!
A Buddhist temple that we stopped and visited after the market.
Very interesting.
And very colorful.
Okay. I think Ethen is the "fast" part of this post.
The only time he slows down is when he's asleep...
or Thomas the Train is on. :)
The seaweed aisle at the grocery store.
I brought some home for my family.
It wasn't a hit.
No. really. yuck.
The night view of the Petronas Towers from Shir and Dave's apartment.
It is absolutely breathtaking. Gorgeous city.
I'm so glad I could go and provide a little love and support at least.
Don't know how much I did, really.
I just colored with Maya and played trains with Ethen
and thankfully Shir was on the up and up when my time was done.
Worth the 30 hours of travel time to get there.
Thanks to Niccole for being the heaven-sent auntie
and thanks to Kel and the kids who stepped up and let me go.
And thanks to Dave and Shir for showing me around their latest adventure. :)
