Texas, here I come!

KL -> Singapore -> Moscow -> Houston

Sorry guys, I've been wanting to post a blog about our newly, used (2002) car that we purchased last month!

It's small but still has great pick-up, compact, silver, reminds me of a mini, has a tight turning radius , can park anywhere, has A/C plus a cd player. Helaas, no picture of us in it yet, but I added one from the internet! There ya go!

The Final Countdown

10 more days...and I leave KL for a 6 week holiday in Texas! I'm extremely excited, and I try not to mention it too much to David, because he wants to go home as much as me!

It's hard to realize that we've been away from home for a year now. It went by so fast, but we've experienced and learned so much it's unbelievable. Someone asked me if there was anything I really wanted to do while I'm back home. Like, go visit my favorite restaurant or favorite bar, but honestly, what would make me the happiest person in the world would be to see my family and friends and give them a big ol' Texas hug (since I've only had two hugs here, besides David) You really don't appreciate those little things until you're an ocean away.

Besides that, David does have a list of things to do, places to visit, things to eat, and I'll definitely go along for the ride. : )

1. Restaurants

a. Abdallah's "One spicy falafel sandwich, please!"

b. Mario's - "I'll have the same thing I've been ordering for the last ten years straight please"

c. Christian's Totem -Burgers and beers

2. Bars

a. West Alabama IceHouse - "The variety of locals is the only thing that exceeds the variety of beer"

b. La Carafe - "At sunset, it's the best seat in town"

c. The Velvet Melvin - "Some things never change"

3. Beers This one is very important since Malaysia only offers a select number of beers; Tiger, Guinness, Hoegaarden, Carlsberg and Heineken. For beer lovers, it's depressing.

a. Stone I.P.A

b. Bridgeport I.P.A

c. St. Arnold's Octoberfest

4. Homemade Meals

a. Ma's gehakt balletjes

b. Liz's green bean casserole

c. Dad's george foreman chicken

5.Miscellaneous

a. Shoot guns

b. Wrestle Katie

c. Drink coffee on ma and pa's back porch

d. Have burgers at Fitzwillie's in College Station

Let's hope we have enough time to get all of these things out of the way before we have to return to Malaysia!
