Fam.
We are back in America.
It's been quite a whirlwind of a trip in Malaysia.
I guess I'm glad to be home but I miss Malaysia a lot.
It's mixed feelings, right?
Like all the great stuff there but missing the comforts at home.
Yeah. Yeah.
But one thing I learned from this trip is...
Malaysia was chaotic.
You know, it's constantly on the go.
There was flood.
There was just so many things that happened.
But somehow there was like contentment in that, in a weird way.
When we came back here, this is comfort.
You know, we got our beds.
We got our nice stuff.
We got our Amazon two-day delivery.
All the comforts, but yet I'm not like 100% content.
You know, this is weird.
This is one of my takeaway from this trip.
But anyway I'm excited to be back.
I'm excited to get back into the routine of things.
I miss Malaysia.
I mean I definitely miss Malaysia too.
I think I started making a mental list in my head
to make myself feel better about life in America.
The cold weather is nice.
Usually I don't like the cold but it's a good change from the heat.
I didn't realize that heat makes me really cranky.
Did you notice I got cranky?
You got cranky when you didn't get enough sleep.
Because of this guy.
That too.
He's sleeping better here because we've got his own room all that.
But yeah I think the famous most about Malaysia is like I don't know...
Going places and everyone is so friendly and kind.
I feel like you don't get that here as much. Yeah.
People are kind of just doing their own thing.
I miss that. Of course, the food.
I feel like that goes without saying.
I miss that a lot.
But we do have super exciting things here that we came back to.
Oh, gosh. It's amazing, guys.
Oh, no. No. Not that yet.
Oh. I'm talking about this right here.
I stocked up
Oh!
My Malaysian pantry.
It's fully stocked right now.
It wasn't before.
Right before the trip, I was very generous.
I gave away a lot of my stuff
but now you can see it's all fully stocked again.
With non-expired items.
Correct.
There's another thing that is really exciting to come back to.
Right before we left to Malaysia,
remember I showed you guys the backyard and side yard
and it was like in a horrendous condition.
We removed all the trees
because we were preparing for it to be landscaped.
So, while we were gone...
Oh, I mean while we were in Malaysia, it was all done.
I mean not all done. Most of it.
A large part of it. Yeah.
So, you wanna go show them? Yes. Yes. Yes. Come on!
So basically guys this is new pebbles right here.
This area here is going to be like a barbecue dining area and all that.
We have our turf.
Also known as carpet grass.
that goes here and wraps around.
And this area over here...
This is gonna be like a lounge area.
We're gonna have a fire pit.
We have noisy kids.
Zaden is obsessed with this backyard now, guys.
Yes.
Yeah, we're gonna have a fire pit.
We're gonna have like some couches or something there.
Yeah.
And then over here... We're gonna plant some...
I don't know. Plants? Plants. Bushes. Who knows. Yeah.
So over this area... Honestly, guys this here is because we are trying to cut costs.
It's starting to get really expensive.
We're like no no we can't do. We can't put too much turf.
So we just like pull the turf out here
and then we're gonna plant some stuff here.
It'll look nice though. Yeah.
And then this was intentional to leave this area like this over here
because we want to put planter boxes
and we want to plant like fruits and vegetables and things to cook with
and of course we're gonna try to keep a curry leaf plant alive.
Mm-hmm. Priority. Again.
We've tried many times. We have.
Yeah. Again.
But yeah then keep coming this way more turf
and you get to the beautiful soccer field.
Yeah, so this is gonna be like....
Uhh....
Yeah. So you guys,
here's gonna be the area where I trained Zaden to play soccer... and Kyren.
or football. And Kyren. Yes, eventually.
But yeah this is gonna be a general like play area for the kids.
It wraps... Oh, I mean it goes all the way back here. You can see.
And then back there...
Back here, all the way at the end there,
grandpa is going to be building a shed for himself.
But, yeah. Can you already like tell like the kids, they love it out here.
Like it's so much fun.
You can like just hang out here
because it's like clean grass.
I mean it's not really grass.
It's turf.
Clean fake grass.
So you can like come out here without your shoes and all. Great.
But the honest truth, guys is ever since we came back
I've been really really homesick.
I haven't had Malaysian food.
I mean I've had like my own cooking
but I haven't had like legit Malaysian food.
I've been craving it.
Rach? Yeah.
Wanna go have Malaysian food today? Already?
Yes.
Sure.
All right, let's do it.
Hey, Rach. I got a crazy idea, okay?
I never want to hear your crazy idea.
Okay. We're having Malaysian food.
What if we pretend like we're in Malaysia?
Okay.
So we're gonna like sit in our car with the heat really high?
No. There's no heaters in cars in Malaysia.
No. No. But I'm saying to like stimulate the heat
that would be feeling in Malaysia. That's true.
That's a story for another day.
Yeah.
Anyway, what if we dress up with our Malaysian outfits,
pretend like this is Malaysia,
and go to a Malaysian restaurant
and eat Malaysian food.
We didn't even do that in Malaysia.
That's true. That's true. But we got so many clothes.
We do.
We have so many outfits
that don't really have a lot of places to wear them in America.
I don't know which one you want to wear.
I didn't remember. I don't remember all of them.
Let's go check them out. Okay.
Okay, so what do we got?
This whole thing is just Malaysian clothes.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Is this all that we got in this Malaysia trip?
Yeah.
That's great.
Yup.
So this one we have all four matching.
Uhm-hmm.
This one I just have but it's really fun because there's a matching mask to it.
See.
Oh!
Is that a dress?
It's a baju kurung.
Looks like really pretty green one.
You love that colour. It's my favourite colour.
Not bad, huh? Not bad, huh?
So, like...
Okay, like is this... Is this like batik?
It's known as batik, right?
Like this pattern and design.
How are the kiddos? Are you guys dressed?
Almost.
Look at Ky Ky.
Baju Melayu.
Momma, I'm not dressed.
Oh, look at you.
You like it? Not sure. I mean like I can't see it
while you're standing
because I can't really see anything right now.
Ky Ky is stealing the show right now.
He is pretty stinging cute.
My outfit.
You look beautiful.
Thank you. Thank you.
It's something about you I don't know why even you wear like baju kurung
and like Malaysian outfits like sari and all that, you just look extra beautiful.
Stop it.
I think you're supposed to be Malaysian and not white.
Hello kiddos.
Ky Ky, are you ready? You feeling okay?
We're back in America.
Going to eat some Malaysian food.
Yeah, boy.
We're going to eat some Malaysian food?
How about you, Zae Zae? What do you want to eat?
I don't know what they are going to serve us.
I mean you can order whatever you want.
It's Malaysian food. What Malaysian food do you like?
Croissant.
Croissant is not Malaysian.

Momma, where's my chicken rice?
You can share with daddy.
No. No. No. You don't want to share?
No.
Chicken rice.
I like chicken rice.
Chicken's right here
I want some chicken rice. You want some? You can eat them.
So Nyonya cafe is like one of our go-to places here in the States.
It's in Pleasanton.
Like they have very few items
but all the items is like really good.
Like they nailed it down.
So anyway, today we got chicken rice.
What else did you get?
We ordered some fried chicken.
He loves chicken rice.
A fried chicken with egg for the boys
and then I got nasi lemak
and usually I go with chicken rendang
but today I got it with fried chicken.
And iced coffee for me.
Chicken rice. I mean nasi lemak.
On-house for you.
Oh, thank you.
Thank you so much.
Oh, wow.
Aww, that's so sweet.
It is snacks (kuih) for us.
Yes.
Awww, probably the best.
I know.
I was kind of disappointed because...
initially when I came in there's no snacks (kuih) but I can expect it.
Snack (kuih) gets sold out.
It's the best. Why you didn't save some for me?
Come on, Tommy.
Look at that.
Look at that beauty.
It's so good.
Zae Zae loves papadam, so I'm gonna relinquish mine to him.
Did he get his plate?
Oh, thank you. Thank you.
Got food for the boys. Kids.
Even got a little sauce. Is this fried chicken?
Yeah, it's like chicken strips. Chicken strips.
Americanised Malaysian food for the kiddos.
Here you go.
Got curry laksa?
I love it. That's awesome.
So guys, this is Tommy. He's the owner of Nyonya.
How's the food. Amazing food as always.
Thank you so much.
Thank you for coming
Yeah, of course. Of course.
Guys, Nyonya cafe has never disappointed us. Ever.
Food's always amazing.
So, if you guys in Pleasanton, make sure to visit them.
I'm so thankful that Tommy gave us some snacks (kuih).
But I got a quiz for you.
Can we eat now? Yes, we may.
But, only if you can name it all.
Okay.

Okay, okay.
