Welcome Back To Ipoh

My sister came back for a short holiday to visit us. She will be here for around 2 weeks and I will be taking her to "eat wind" here and there, now and then. Starting from tomorrow, I will be playing tour guide again... maybe taking her to the same places as I did with my Canadian friends last 2 weeks. LOL.. my tour guide job seems to be ongoing....

Besides welcoming my sister back home, we also love to "welcome" the goods she has brought for us. That is the best moment... the goodies and our pressies.... Here are part of the things she gave us...

the foodstuff...

her own grown walnuts in her house in CA
fresh and nice...

  14. CA? California? So you have a sis in the US. Been there before? My missus would buy those nuts but I'm not a fan and I find it tedious having to crack them with a nutcracker. Lazy lah... Hahahahaha!

  17. Hi! Thanks for stopping by my blog (Jellybelly Talks). I'd love to do paid links. My blogs don't have PRs though they get a fair amount of traffic. My other blog on parenting had PR but it disappeared a couple months ago. I can never figure out why this happens.
