This is the last week of my elective in Malaysia.. and I have no more motivation to stay in the hospital. After only attending the clinic for one hour this morning, I received a text from Robert who was still battling the "registration war". "Malaysians!" -- said with such frustration. One of his major issues was the university (yes THE university) does not accept credit card as form of payment. Anyways, after I lend him some cash, the registration was finally over by noon. By then, Robert was sweating so much from the sun and the heat, his tie was drenched and stuck to his shirt. After a shower and some lunch, I decided to not go back to hospital for the rest of the afternoon, and go shopping instead! For you guys out there reading this and feeling sorry for Robert who would be dragged out by me.. DONT! Shopping in Malaysia is a heaven for guys too.

We went to the mall next to his house which is of NZ mall size, and then went to a much larger one after that (Mid Valley). Bangsar Shopping Centre had guards carrying real loaded riffles on each floor! This started since a young lady was abducted, raped and murdered when she went to the mall car park alone.

In the evening, we picked up Christine and Karen (Malaysians who live in Christchurch who are having a holiday in Malaysia). Robert's mum cooked Indian dinner for us tonight. It was delicious meal, slightly hot for me but I love it anyways.

Here are some photos from the day.

Robert was very proud of his perfect reverse parking and would like me to show it off to his special girl who hopefully will be reading this.


This is a car I spotted in the car park.. both front tyres are flat.. dont know how long it has been there.. just thought its interesting.. but that's move on....

Photo with Robert's Maid Kaka.. (I think that's how you spell her name, but the point is he has a maid! how luxurious).
Robert eating Indian food in the traditional way.. I was impressed.

While I was waiting at Robert's house, I took some photos of his beautiful home. Below is a little pond inside the house by the entrance.

This is the British styled living room.
Robert took me to a the Chili's restaurant, where he used to work 6 years ago!
