My travel companions......



As my trip to Australia is drawing near, I had better get packing.  Hmmm....it would be nice to have a little picnic  in the park (hope there's one....).  Indeed it would be nice to have lamingtons and coffee and to rest one's feet on Australia soil.  It will be spring. 

I remembered many years back, I was in the The Botanical Park of Singapore.  The authorities had organised classical performances of Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Mozart and a list of others.  People came and sat comfortably on the green grass to enjoy the music.  It was evening and the gentle breeze blew across the park.  Ah....such lovely moments....

I am a dihehard coffee and tea addict.  Coffee is good for you - one or two cuppa a day is fine.  Tea is anti-oxidant and certainly taste better than just plain water.  As such, I decided to take my hot flask, 2 chinese tea cups ( totally against the idea of drinking hot from plastic cups for fear of chemical leaching), serviettes (for spills and cleanups) together with me into Australia.  I will be suffering under the exchange rate (AUD1.00 = Ringgit 2.8++).  These companions will save me a couple of Aussie dollars and I can have my cuppa at any time of the day.  The serviettes and tea cups fits into the plastic container perfectly. (see above pic).  2 tea cups?  Yes, one for me and one for hub!

Got to finish my packing and settle some paperwork before leaving Malaysia.  Now, where did I put my pearl necklace?
