Friends Visiting...

Finally! We have another set of friends visiting us after one year. Yup! The last time we had friends over from Malaysia was one year ago. Somehow...nobody wants to visit us in this 3rd World Country. Even my parents are not visiting as often as when we lived in Bangkok.
Anyway, family of 4 arrived yesterday... Took them 1 1/4 hours from the airport. I thought that was quite good considering it was peak traffic. When I saw them at the door (I didn't go to the airport. Sent the driver only)...they were lik mega-exhausted from the jams. :-)
Took them to a restaurant named Payon. Went there because it was close to our house, and it was local food. Thought we should always bring our guest to try the local food on the first day. Anyway, food was okay lah... but because it had rained before, the grounds were abit soggy. Otherwise, it would be quite a nice place... The restaurant had a landscaped garden, with koi ponds and was lit with torches around the premises. So, on a normal day...the ambience would be better.
Supposed to bring the kids to watch dolphins and sealions perform today.....but it rained soooooo heavily that I took them shopping instead. The kids complained of course... but what to do? (My boys didn't come as they have school).... Went to Long Beach Seafood Restaurant (Yup! The same one as the one in Singapore) for dinner.... H "kik lau" me, so didn't enjoy my dinner that much. :-( Long story...
Gonna go to the Safari Park again tomorrow. Setting off at 7.30 am, as driver says that it will take 1 1/2 hours to reach the place...and it opens at 9 am. Early start, hopefully, early ending and early return home. The guests want to visit the spa in the evening tomorrow.
