Packing for Kuching

Was out doing field work today. It rained quite a bit too. Bad.

After work I rushed off to Lavender to pick Agnes before heading back to her place. We dropped by the 7-11 to buy some biscuits and sweets. We then crossed over to buy some postage stamps.

We then has some dinner cooked by Agnes mum. Was good as usual. But the thing is she does not speak much english and my mandarin is pretty limited too despite my best efforts, so we do not really get to chat much. She always worries that the food is not to my taste so I have to constantly reassure her it is fine with me. Agnes does not really help to interpret what we say to each other, so I guess something gets inevitably lost in the translation.

After dinner we watched some TV before heading to Agnes's room for the rest of the evening. I watched as Agnes packed her things for her Sarawak trip. She got all (I hope) of it done so we chatted and played around abit with the soft toys in the room (how so very adult). We took some pictures with Agnes's bear soft toy which is falling to bits. It is already 13 years old. No idea how old that is in bear years. So parts of it are already exposed and the colour is mostly faded. Thinking of posting the pictures here for the amusement of all in due time. A rough gauge what a family portrait of us would look like...
