WFH (work from home) at Sentral as parents was scheduled to arrive at 5 PM. Flight was delayed and they arrived at 7 PM. We had steam fish (the fish was flown in from KK), chicken soup and vegetable for dinner. The double boiled chicken by Chef Abikia was really tender and the soup was delicious.

Drove over to Subang Parade for Abikia to pick me up for outing to Seri Setia’s pasar malam. We had street food for dinner. Then we headed over to I-City to see the digital lights. Quite impressive.

After having breakfast at Sentral at 9 AM, we headed out to Seremban at 9.30 AM. It was drizzling when we arrive at the train station. We were following the recommendations from a Malaysian Traveller website on places to visit in Seremban. The train station itself was not so impressive. The façade was, but you had to be a distance from it to capture a shot of the building.

Then we headed over to Lake Garden to see the lotus pond. Seems that there are only 2 small patches of lotus left.

We had early lunch at a coffee shop consisting of porridge and yong tau foo. It was an inexpensive lunch. Then walked over to another restaurant to try out the famous beef noodle. After a short stop at an Indian temple, we headed back. 

Back at Sentral, we had a light snack at 3 PM, eating the pastries (curry puff, siew bao) that we had just bought. 

Mon 22 Oct 2018

Dinner at Sentral consisted of fish soup, chicken soup and vegetables. We chatted about current news – Brexit, SST, investments until about 10 PM while having ice-cream for dessert.

Wed 24 Oct 2018

Dinner at Sentral consisting of beef soup, vegetables and siew mai. After dinner, we watched a few short YouTube video on Princess Eugenie’s 12 Oct wedding. For me, the star of the event was the children who were page boys and bridesmaids. As expected, Prince George and Princess Charlotte were super cute.

I was at Sentral Condo by 11.30 AM, then we went to pick up Beh Ling at Federal Hotel and had lunch at Nexus HOF consisting of bah kut teh and fried mee hoon with roasted pork. 

Then we went back to Sentral for tea and snacks as well as trying out the massage chair. After dropping Beh Ling off at KL Sentral for her flight back to SG, we headed over to Klang, for second round of bah kut teh.

Was at Sentral Condo by 9 AM as we had planned to go for early dim sum breakfast at Kuchai Lama. After picking up Kiew Che from Bangsar, we waited in the long queue for the popular dim sum breakfast. 

Then we went for a short visit at Kiew Che’s Bangsar house, where we went upstairs to have a look at the small partitioned room which Beh Ling used to stay at while studying at HELP College.

After the Bangsar visit, we went back to Sentral condo and watched YouTube on the Royal Family and Queen Victoria before having lunch at 1 PM. Then Abikia sent parents to the airport while I headed to the office to clear some work.

Vienna Family Photos

We were on time for the photo shoot at 5 PM at Foto Weinwurm (Burggasse 56, 1070 Wien). Costing 278 Euro for 5 photos and 78 Euro for 2 extra photos, it  wasn’t cheap but the pictures turned out to be really nice. 

It was Beh Ling's idea to have the family photo taken in a studio, with the Chinese dress theme, and Abikia's expertise in Google search to find a place that's not too far away. The result was worth it !
