A day in Muar


My mum's hometown is Muar and so it came at no surprise when my mum announced that we would be making a trip down to Muar that weekend. Knowing that baby loved all things old and rustic, I decided to ask baby if he would like to go as well - I needn't have to anyway as my dad already had plans for him to tag along. Hehe!! Already part of the family, he is. 


We decided to make the day trip to Muar on a Sunday as my mum's initial plans were to head there for her school's alumni dinner!!! We took 2-3 hours of drive to get there. I'm sure baby will think three, or may four, ten, a thousand times again before agreeing on a road trip into Malaysia the next time. Haha!! Baby just can't stand long journeys!!'poor baby! Which reminds me.. travelling with him in future is gonna be tricky..

Upon arriving at Muar, it was lunch time! Yummy yummy!! Street food at Muar is as authentic as its gonna get!!


Awesome looking aren't they?? They taste as good as they look!!


:)  Loved the texture of the noodles. It's not that starchy, but yet not the soft either. It had that bit of crunch. What makes those street food all the more delicious was the fact that my mum ate along the exact same street when she as young!! How cool is that?!


That's the group!! Eating street food by the road. I guess hygiene would be a cause of concern, but heck! My mummy ate those food twenty years ago and nothing happened. If anything, it probably boosted her immune system!!


That's us!! :)


Street pictures after lunch!! :) Cool pics! I love the telephone booth as you seldom get to see them in Singapore nowadays. 


More street photos!! :)

Therafter, it's off to my mum's secondsry school. Here's and interesting trivia. Both my mum's school and mine require us to manually pin on 7 metallic buttons in the morning! Both of our uniforms are white in the exact same design and both of our secondary school has the upside down triangle as part of the school badge!! Coincidence or just plain freaky?!

Dinner time is purely for my mummy to socialise with ex classmates. It is terribly, terribly boring for us!!

But before dinner, its time to change to somethng nicer!! I forgot to mention that we attended a funeral of a grand uncle of mine prior to entering Malaysia hence we were wearing rather plain and casual clothing!


And transform!! :)

Mummy's friend had 2 adorable dogs! We couldn't resist taking pictures of them, and maybe partly because we were bored as well, I guess.


But but but . They ARE cute, aren't they?! Dogs drool though, so I will definitely not be keeping them in future. :P


A huge dedication to baby because he took so many pictures of me that day. It's rather rare okies?! Baby is so so so so adorable!! Look at him... XD awwwww.....

And it's off to dinner!!


That's being absolutely bored out of our minds during dinner. All we did was eat, and eat, and eat, and eat, and eat.. Well, you get the point.

Here's the finale!


That's the end of our Muar trip. What awaits us after is a super long ride back to Singapore, and it is work the next day! Monday blues! :(
