Well Renee and I made it to and from Malaysia safely. Unfortunately Dad was sick, and then Renee was sick whilst we were there.
We still had lots of Roti, visited the Batu caves, went up the Petronas towers, and held an Iguana each. You can see us here enjoying Teh Tarik, a fresh coconut and just other random photos of us. It was a fleeting visit, but thanks Mum and Dad for having us! I love your condo and that swimming pool.
We did lots of shopping, in the various shopping complexes, and markets around the place. We bought everything from pictures to bikinis which was fun. We also took a trip to Malacca, and visited Mum and Dads favorite bar there, Geographer. We visited one bar in KL, which was the Luna Bar, I highly recommend it, great setting and cocktails. Well Randall and I are moving in 2 weeks so I better go pack! Posted by Picasa

Here they are! Yes they are walking too. Jasmine has pink pants, and Tamika has stripey pants. Aunty Julie (Leannes sister) bought them the wagons, and Aunty Laura and Randall bought them the frog and duck dressing gowns and toys. I had to include the picture of Dad with his wings. Sorry Dad! It was great to see everyone there, we even got to see Thomas and Sarah, and my cousins new triplets (Anthony, Lucy and James) who were only 18 weeks old. Posted by Picasa
Good evening all! I'm just sitting here eating Cambert (thanks Mum and Dad) and dried pear (from the Angas Park factory in Angaston) and thought I'd pop you all a line.

It's an exciting time for me at the moment, as Renee and I are heading up to KL to see Mum and Dad next week! Yes in 8 days time Renee and I (for those who don't know Ren and I went to school together) hit KL for 10 days of shopping, siteseeing, relaxing, eating roti, swimming, hanging out with mum and dad, and shopping. Should be great fun.

Once we get back, Randall and I are moving in together. Yes the big move is happening beginning of October, just as soon as we find a place, minor problem. We're both really looking forward to it. My current housemate is moving in with her partner too.

Last weekend Randall and I went to the Barossa for the Gourmet weekend. Some of Randalls friends were also there, so we had a nice group. Some facepainting, wine drinking, slamming of my thumb in the toilet door (and I was the designated driver!) and sampling of the local produce created a great weekend. I even managed to buy a nice desert wine in Tanunda. Mmmm. Unfortunately I didn't take my camera, and Randall left his in the car back at the hotel, so no piccies for you. One of the guys took a photo of the facepainting, so I'll see if I can track them down for you.

The weekend before was Jasmine and Tamikas first birthday. It was a fairy theme, although I was the only one game enough to wear fairy wings, other than the girls. Dad did for a bit (he was chief fairy) but complained the wings were "too tight". I'll post some photos that Mum and Dad took for you.

Headed to the Royal Adelaide Show tomorrow to do the yellow brick road, sample some king island cheese and generally have a good time. I'm watching the netball tonight, go the Thunderbirds! (they are playing the Sydney Swifts for those who don't know, the swifts are undefeated this season so won't be an easy match!)

So there is a really brief update for you. I hope to get some good photos in KL (as long as I remember the camera) so will post when I can. Love Laura
