Birthday Celebrations

29 already, where did this year go? My first birthday away from family and friends was strange but John did well to keep me distracted.

I was cooked a lovely meal of steamed fish and bok choy with Szechun pepper.

Dessert was a coffee and walnut cake. Yummy.

A bottle of NZ sparkling wine finished off the evening nicely.

Moons, cakes and views

So when John does take pictures he take some good ones. Above is a mooncake which we managed to find in a local Malaysian food shop. The cake contains sweet lotus seed paste and a preserved egg. The egg is sort of an acquired taste. They are only available around the mooncake festival I think.


Below you can find 2 photos from our balcony, both taken around sunset. The lower one is actually the moon and not the sun. 

The moon is sort of upside down in NZ. Unfortunately you can't see it's strange upside down face in the photo. You'll have to take my word for it.
