the "tower of power"

there is that one problem about the outlets. good thing we brought adapters otherwise i think we'd all be in computer and iPod withdrawal (which would not be very pretty). mom likes to call our stack of chargers "the tower of power". interesting... anyway i guess here in malaysia they like to switch on everything because there are about 4 switches per little switch thingy (if that makes any sense). there is literally a switch in the bathroom if you want hot water for your shower and a switch in the kitchen so that you can use your oven/stove. it took me a little while to figure out the hot water switch so we've all been taking pretty short cold showers.

breakfast

so me and gabe were dying for breakfast food that wasn't rice or noodles so mom attempted to make pancakes for us. little did we know, instead of a non-stick pan, there only thing here is a "stick pan" which made our pancakes a little bit crumbly. but its ok since we made it all better with a little coffee.

don't judge our morningness. please. just look at the beautiful coffee.

first home

so this is the view from our temporary home right now which is kinda like a hotel/apartment type thingy . its mostly high-rise buildings all around and theres almost no people. soooo were trying to find somewhere else to live but we have no idea how successful we'll be. hopefully we can find somewhere to live by a grocery store where milk doesn't cost 10$ per gallon.

singapore airport

early morning breakfast in singapore airport! after 11 hours from sf, a 6 hour layover in beijing, and a 6 hour flight to singapore we finally found something to eat in the form of rice and noodles :)))))
