And as requested by Megan..
Thoughts from the trip: It was quite a nice trip, I enjoyed travelling to Muar by car. Although we had to squeeze a lil on the car cause there were too many people. Being with his family was quite fun, all of them kept joking around and all. 🙂 It’s mmy first time to Muar, and i would never go there if not to accompany them to celebrate their ah ma’s birthday. So yeah, it was quite an eye-opener for me. I really found that the house at Muar was really interesting!! It’s so traditional- too bad i didn’t take photos at their place. Their bathing area was quite cool cause they can use the pail to bathe & the toilet was not gross as i expected. Muar definately had more things than i expected! I imagined in my head that it would just be a Kampong with mozzies, but unexpectedly there was more.. like shops & all. And for me, I was quite shy since I didn’t know most of the people there.. so yeah there were like 40+ people?! I don’t know really, just too many I was feeling claustrophobic at times.
I liked the short 2 hours when we went shopping around the shopping mall, cause is like i can finally walk around abit with just Bing Xi and I. 🙂 We bought loads of food from the super market- we the piggies, went to this shop called living cabinet which has many cute things so we got some cute contact lens casing, jars & a set of pretty thumbprint designed couple cups.
We spent basically most of the time eating. As you can see from the number of food photos I posted. Haha 🙂 Before we left, we got to eat the famous+must eat Muar Bak ku teh. From what Bing xi told me, Muar is known for their yummy Bak Ku Teh & Otah. His family gave me otah back home for my family to try. 🙂
My favourite time in Muar is probably during the lantern time, when i just hang around the kids playing lanterns to take photos of them with one of bx cousin’s DSLR & eating food. hehe 🙂
I feel better after writing my thoughts down. Thanks for reading & I shall update here again soon. 🙂 ❤
