Holidays are over :(
I've had a lovely 3 weeks in Malaysia but now I'm back in Melbourne. Time to go back to work and time to settle down to do my HAED. Despite my best intentions, I probably didn't do more than 100 stitches while in Malaysia, my days were just filled with outings and family and friends. Which was really fun, but bad in terms of trying to keep up with Sae!
Since I have so few updates on HAED, I'll blog about my holiday instead. I spent 4 days in Penang (which is one place I love the most in the whole world), 2 days in Melaka and the rest at home in PJ. It was Chinese New Year and all my siblings came to PJ and so we had the whole family together. Here's a pic of the whole lot of us:
Some notable adventures that Chenpo and I embarked on were the Penang Heritage Trail walk, which took us from 9am til 3pm and we got pretty sunburnt from the hot Penang sun. We also walked to the top of the very steep Penang Hill road. That took 1 hour 40 minutes and left my legs absolutely useless the next day.
We also went for this SkyTrex Adventure thingy, which were these series of challenges set up 17m high in the jungle canopy of Bukit Cahaya. That was good fun, and especially entertaining when one of my friends got stuck in the middle of a flying fox challenge and had to be rescued.
My friends and I had out annual BBQ and this year we did a new thing which was a photo shoot. Here's one of my favourite pics from that shoot:
I'll be posting more photos of my trip on my other blog, so please visit :)
But now, my holiday is done and today I finally picked up some HAED again. I'm pretty sure I cleared my daily quota today, but I still have to pick up on my last 3 weeks of non-HAEDing. *sigh*. Here's what my piece looks like so far:
Probably can't notice anything new from the last update huh? I really better speed up!
