Family trip....

I called yesterdays trip a family trip because I consider Dr Safaa and Yasmin family. I love Yasmin so much; like a sister. A loving caring sister. When I came back from India recently, Yasmin made breakfast for us. Similarly in the evening that I came back from Kuala Lumpur, she prepared dinner. Of course not just the food, every moment spent at her house is a happy time for me.

Since Yasmin is leaving to Iraq next week (Wednesday), yesterday I took Dr Safaa and her along with princess to a day trip in Bukit Merah Lake town. It was a memorable trip for us. We took a boat ride to the orangutan island and joined in the "community" for a fun day activities. I just simply love the orang utans. They share 99 percent of human genes and actually behave similar to human. I mean that shouldnt be surprising right hehe.

I forgot his name, but he loves to post for a photograph :)



Baby Sarah.

After orangutan island, we went to another island "the ecopark" that houses various interesting animals and reptiles. Here are some:

Then we took a 'chairlift" ride back to the lake park.

And ended the day with a delicious dinner at the lakeview restaurant.

It was really a nice trip. We came back and entered Penang island at night. From the bridge, the island is a painting of various colors reflected in the water. Penang is like a sparkling diamond and stars. I commented to Dr Safaa that this is similar to Juhu Beach we visited earlier in Mumbai. Reminiscence of the "queens necklace" road.

I guess the world is so full of colors and lights! I wonder what God is seeing looking down at earth from up there. Maybe he said opps I made the earth too small, now its all crowded with people and too many bright sparkles hehe.

I will miss these happy moments with Yasmin and Safaa. It will be sad when they leave. This is my life story I guess. I dont have that many people I'm fond of where I am. Okay thats the honest truth. I have a couple of friends that I really like but thats about it. All my good friends, really good friends are outside the country. They come to my life, then leave. Or I go to theirs, then leave.....

I wished I had them all here. My life will be complete.

I promise to meet Yasmin and Safaa again, maybe I will visit them in Iraq. Or we will meet in Turkey. Who knows. Meanwhile life goes on......

Take care all, love always.
