Cousin Visited London

Leona visited London last month en route to Genoa to present a paper for her PhD research.

I was really happy meeting up with her. The last time we met was when we were "abusing" a big peach bun at a birthday dinner. No sorry, that was Terina, her sister. ;)

Malay food, warung style in Malaysia Hall. Bandung cincau, teh tarik, keropok lekor and rendang. You're not going to believe we never had this "rubbish" together when we were small. Ironically we were having it in London!

I think it's been three years ago since I met her then. Seeing her in London was great. She's still as bubbly as before. We chatted and laughed about our childhood days including those funny antics that we've done whenever we met in my aunt's.

"You better not show this to our mothers! Or tell them it's frothy apple juice! And remember to crop it first!"

It seemed odd at first when she acquired an Aussie accent the first time we spoke but after a while, the Manglish engine started choking black smoke and then it was up and running again!

As it was her first time to the UK, she would have many tourist places to cover. So it was very kind of her to make time to meet up on a few occasions. I hope she liked the roast duck too!

She should be back in Australia by now.
