Bee Bee and Ying Ying reunite!

*Disclaimer: I apologize for not writing sooner as my comp has not had adequate internet in the past week or so....so I will be catching up these next few days!*

Nothing like having a little karaoke to get rid of jetlag!It's been a wild day for sure! I'm sucking on a cough drop b/c my voice is hoarse from laughing and singing so much tonight!

We went to pick YuBee up at the airport this morning and we ran into each others arms per usual b/c we're excited to continue the Adventures of Bee Bee and Ying Ying!!
We all then traversed to a dim sum restaurant to meet up with two of our other cousins for tea (and dim sum of course). It's the first time Jie Jie and I actually have seen each other here in a long time...but never fear b/c we actually live only 2 1/2 hrs away from each other at home. HAH.
Anway, we then went to their house to see their mom and older sister to chit-chat and visit a bit. Then my uncle decided that I should go buy some clothes since my luggage was still on it's way. Bee made me try on a ridiculous dress on...and I did end up finding some clothes to tie me over until my luggage makes its way to my arms again.

We coerced my uncle into taking us girls to get our nails done....bahahaha. He told us he wasn't going to and we ended up at the plaza somehow...lol.

Ok, so I told them to draw an anchor on it...but it looks like a misshaped smile or something...

After being girly for about an hour we went to eat some BOMB soto and ABC. I loveeeee soto.

My yummy soto.

ABC/ais kacang

I got sleepy on the way back but managed to stay awake for the duration of the ride back home. I got my stuff from the house so we could switch over to Auntie Beth's house. We lazed around in Baby's room and I think I fell asleep somewhere in there. Got ready and headed out for dinner with the whole fam bam. We had steamboat/hot pot and had to convince Auntie Belinda to eat her veggies. Hahaha.

Fish ready to be cooked!

Hot pot!

We finally coerced her into coming back home with us to karaoke and even though I was super duper tired we karaoke-d for almost 3 hrs. We belted out songs from Adele, Katy Perry, and Mariah Carey. At the very end I was chasing Bee around in circles and sat on her so she wouldn't delete picture I took of her. Lol. Our throats were so hoarse from singing and laughing our heads off! I was so exhausted.

Auntie Beth has a legit karaoke room in her house!

The next morning we went to get nasi kuning for breakfast and we decided that tuna here just tastes so much better than any where else.
Anyway, we, and by we, I mean Aku Apo, Auntie Beth, YuBee, me, Black, Jef, and Rosalee all went out to dive. I love family outings b/c our family and staff is SO COOL. Thankfully I kept all my dive equipment at the house so I was equipped except I borrowed a swimsuit from Auntie Beth since the one I left here...may or may not have fit. Haha. We took a short boat ride out to Sibuan where we saw a few sea turtles, some awesome nudibranches that I've never seen before, and an eagle ray! After our first dive we nestled ourselves in a small...cove, I guess you could call it, to have lunch. Someone forgot the lighter so the boatman had to go hunting for one at a nearby kampung. Haha. We were cracking jokes and Bee was trying to get some sort of mollusk stuck to the side of the rock off claiming that they eat them in Hawaii...but then she licked it and said it tasted awful. Hahaha. I always enjoy our family "picnics"....haha.
Our second dive was nearby off Bohey Dulang. Usually the coral there is really nice but we were going in the direction of the current and didn't see much except for a huge sea turtle...actually a few of them...but this particular one was huge. And no, I don't have pictures of these beautiful creatures b/c my luggage was still lost and we forgot to ask Auntie Beth to bring hers. Sigh. Oh well.

The islands are so beautiful here.

I <3 her.

Ready to go diving!!

Twin engines...awww yeah!

Favorite boat.

Someone caught a hermit crab!

My sexy schmexy cousin.

Trying to get that stupid mollusk off the rock...haha.

She tried it...and didn't like it...hahaha.

Our little cove.

My cousin is cuter than yours.

Jef being....all bajau and everything...haha.

Some hanky panky is going on over there.....hahahaha.

My dive buddy.

Riding on the back on the truck.

We headed back, quickly showered and headed off yet again. This time to the Proboscis River Cruise. And by river cruise we really mean cruising down the river in a small boat...not a big one. Lol. Oh, before we got far, Auntie Beth stopped to get us some snacks. Amazing kari puffs and pisang goreng at the local stand! Anyway, we cruised down the river...me terrorizing Auntie Belinda by taking pictures of her, hahaha, and trying not to be too loud with Bee. We got to see the two eagles that always come when the boat man revs up his engine and throws bits of chicken to them. Bee asked if they had names and he said no. So she named them YuBee and Keri. Hahahaha. We finally were able to see the elusive proboscis monkeys and another type that I forget the name of when we went down the next river, thanks to our very knowledgeable boat man. Later on, we stopped by this island that has nothing but huge fruit bats (and probably snakes) that only wake up at dusk. Well, it was dusk and they still hadn't stirred and the tide was going out which would mean we could get stuck there, so the boat man started yelling, revving the engine, banging on the top of the boat, and trying to make as much noise as possible. Bee started helping him and eventually the bats woke up. We were teasing her saying that she had a secret talent. Haha. It's a sight to see, all those bats flying around...they're massive!
