Mumsie and some of her family flew to Penang on 5/5/07 via AIR ASIA to celebrate mumsie's mummy's ? 82 birthday. Why Penang when mumsie's mummy is in Ipoh...Well Ipoh's airport has closed down...no plane can fly there...so gotta to fly to KL then 'taxi' to Ipoh or fly to Penang and mumsie's brother can drive us to IPOH.
Kor Kor (the gallant knight) struggling with his luggage and mumsie's luggage (we didn't sent any luggage up the plane...all hand luggage...wonder whose idea was it???)
