QUICK! Shut Down KLIA - security breach!
HAHAHAHAHA - you will not believe this:
We arrived in KL at 830 pm Saturday night. While I collected the bags, Dad went to look for where we had to go in order to check our luggage in for the flight to Brisbane on Sunday morning and so the we could access the airport hotel.
I collected the bags and then headed over to where I saw dad speaking with a Policeman. He was digging through his fanny pack for our boarding passes from the flight from Tawau to KL. This is what happened:
Dad left me to collect the luggage. When looking for the lift to floor 5 to re-check-in, he walked through the EXIT. He then turned around and walked back into luggage reclaim area from the outside and was stopped by a female police officer who could not understand English and the only thing she said, that he could understand, in Malay, was, "Where did you come from?"
Then she summoned her partner, a male police officer, who could understand a little bit more English, and he asked Dad where he came from. Dad told him and he wanted to see the boarding passes from Tawau,. It was then that I walked over from collecting the bags, and dad had pulled out a handful of boarding passes from previous trips.......
WTF!!!! These were backdated to February 2011 and 2010.
Finally we found right ones and I suppose because I had our suitcases the police officer let us go, laughing at us.
Now if we were in Brisbane, there probably would have been a security breach and people would have all had to be rescreened!
How funny was that!!!!!!..
Still laughing!

Another ride to another "Icebox" and farewelling Tawau
Our final day arrived and we packed up our gear. Aunty Ho came and picked us up for our final meal of Bau.
Before heading to the Bau Cafe, Aunty Ho took us for a drive to the other "icebox" only this time we did not go in. It is amazing that these people build their scrap metal houses on the shore and into the ocean! Anyway, as I was taking pictures - this time with the window down, I saw a few of these people walking down towards the street and I told Aunty Ho, "Go, go, go!" Just in case they took exception to having their house photographed. LOL
Anyway, we got our bau and I got one to takeaway so that when the first one settled I could eat the second one. By the time we arrived in KL I was glad to have filled up on Bau.

Ice Box
We took a drive through the ICEBOX today. This is the place where illegal immigrants enter Malaysia and they decide to stay and build their homes outward over the water. There are too many for the police to do much about.
While driving through, Dad said, "Would you be game enough to walk through here and through the paths over the water??? If so, you'd probably never come back!"
When Aunty Ho was asked about how dangerous the area was she said she was brave to drive through because there were THREE of us.........not sure how much protection I could provide! LOL

Making 'mochi' (not sure what you call it in Chinese but mochi is Japanese for the same thing)
Dad and I went to the local church cafe for breakfast this morning as we had run out of bau to eat. Aunty Ho came by and picked us up at lunchtime and you guessed it, we went and bought more bau and more Yau Char Kwai and then headed to Aunty Hap's for lunch - I was still full from breakfast so I did not have much to eat but we helped to prepare lunch which included little mochi balls in chicken soup and a brown sugar, ginger and mochi ball dessert.
It was all very very yummy and dad and I are absolutely NOT having dinner tonight. I feel like one does after Christmas dinner when you have stuffed yourself so full that you want to throw up.......way too much food or not enough time between meals I think.
LOL
