Out of town at the moment, seeing family mostly. Sudden change of weather/routine/diet had me feeling slightly unwell especially after accumulated sleep debt in the couple of weeks before travel.
So I've mostly been tagging along with the in-laws like a zombie. Barely told anyone else that I'm in PJ.
I finally felt human yesterday and it was good timing for a visit to the #postnatal confinement centre to see my sister. She was having a late lunch when we arrived.

A belated #MakanApaToday - a local classic though by law of Mall Physics, the versions I get in modern chains may not necessarily be good and definitely not cheap. This one is good though, over at one of Bungkus Kaw Kaw branches. #MYToots#TootSEA#Malaysia#MalaysianFood (non-vegan)

Damn that was good! As a 90s kid, I like #Eraserheads' music and all but I honestly wasn't that excited going into the theater. At the end of the show, I left feeling a lot of... ligaya. 😄
