Successful Trip back to Malaysia

I was initially fearful about the babies going back to Malaysia and I suggested to Felin that we should just go early in the morning and leave late at night to celebrate MIW's birthday. Her Birthday is on 7th July. However Felin told me that she can get rejuvenated by staying over the night and having the opportunity to mingle with her family. She felt that there are many hands back home to take care of the kids. Turned out that Felin is right.

Felin woke up at 4:30am to express milk while I rose at 5:30am. We got ourselves prepared and departed at 6:20am. The immigration was slightly jammed already and we queued for nearly 20 minutes in the car lane. Just as we are reaching the immigration counter, Felin unexpectedly passed her old passport to me and I knew trouble is here. Felin tried searching frantically for her passport but obviously she had taken the wrong passport. Our car was stuck at the immigration counter because all the cars suddenly stopped moving probably because all the officers in Malaysia need to pray to start fasting. By the time all ended, we were back at home around 9:30pm. What a day...

We departed again at about 10:30am to brace the traffic jam and eventually reached Malaysia around 1pm. We quickly get all things prepared back at home and I was surprised that the babies seems to remember the place and like the house.

This trip back to Malaysia was successful. The babies slept well throughout the night. With MIW's feeding, both of them managed to drink over 1litre of milk today. Its because MIW woke them up at 11pm for feed when most of the nights, we will not do so. We managed to shop, eat well, sleep well and have great bonding time together, especially over durians. Everyone played with the kids and they seems to enjoy their companionship. MIW had an enjoyable birthday celebration and we must thank her for helping us out through the night so that all of us can rest better.

Jia Xing recently gave a new name to herself "Elisha". So here is Elisha and Joshua. Nice biblical names together...

The full family photo. Wow. The babies are looking at the camera as well..

Wennie playing with Josiah while we had dinner. She is really good with babies and can feed and make Josiah sleep in her arms easily. Something I seldom able to achieve.

Wishing Dad and Mum in laws to be always happy and healthy.

Ann and Felin playing with the babies during the dinner. They really enjoyed the times together.

We eventually left at 1:30am on Monday and with a bit of traffic jam on the causeway, we reached home around 2:50am. We quickly unpack everything but this woke the babies up and we eventually only able to sleep at 4:30am. Felin still have to wake up at 7am to express milk while I woke up at 8:30am.

While typing this, babies are asleep and I have that bit of quiet time to complete this post. Glad that all of us enjoyed the trip back to Malaysia. The next one should be in September for FIW's birthday.
