this drive up to the peranakan n baba civilisation, the Miyashitas will be greatly missed! :(

Mrs Miyashita has been learning peranakan/Nyonya dishes all these while and was always generous in blessing N & I with her dishes.. it was through them that N&I started tasting the Nyonya dishes at local Nyonya restaurants (i even had one opp my ex office where I worked for 4 yrs but i didnt know..) on our last trip to JB, they impromptu-ly told us that they would like to drop off at the bus station to get tix to Melaka. So they did. And stayed for a night.

that's how life should be.

excitement!

I think we get along well with each other because of the similarity in characters. we JUST DO IT. And we don't take agessss to decide if we want to do it.

I was just scrolling through the old yahoo inbox and saw this email exchange we had on 11 August for our TW trip. within 2 hours of correspondence, we had the trip firmed up (ie dates, hotel to stay in...). and by the next working day, Mrs Miyashita had already booked everything for us. If any planning was ever involved, it could just be that casual statement, "let's go on holiday together LEH!" (Mr Miya has fondly adopted Singlish as his mother language after knowing us :) No one can ever say talk cork sing song as funnily as he does!!).

Due to v v heavy work commitments then, no one really plan the itinerary for the trip. All I got was a ROUGH sketch of XMD from Angela one day while I had to clear some work-related issue with her. SO, equipped with that crumpled giam-cai looking rough sketch paper which was our only treasure map to the famous Ah Zong Mian Sian and the bubble tea next door, and which got Mr Miyashita laughing all over due to its giam cai state and CMI map sketch which showed XMD like a flower, we found our way to XMD and the famous Mian Xian + Bubble tea. We ventured a little bit more and found a yummy Xue Bing with heaps of fruits @ one of the entrances to XMD.

Everyday was unplanned.

Everyday was a surprise :)

But we always ended up @ Ah Zong mian xian, even if we are full. Some things just remain the same, like how our friendship will continue to be the same, even if they are now far far away...

You guys are being MISSED!!! :(
