Melbourne in winter, yet the warmth of Love is in the air.
During the 10 days trip was not just about spending holiday and running around the city or places. But we spent a luxuries time with my relative.
I had a lovely stayed with my cousins who have been migrated to Australia more than 10-15 years. My cousin’s hospitality that made us had a good time and unforgettable moment.
We stood in front of Mei Earn’s house. It located very near to the main shopping complex and some other Asian shop lots. And it’s very near to the train station.

2nd day of the trip, I couldn’t wait and asked my uncle to bring us to visit my aunt who stay in nursery home near Donvale, I missed her since she is the eldest in my mother’s family. It’s emotion when I saw her and she got a shock and surprised while a visitor from Malaysia.

Far from right was my uncle, who took us around markets and Church, although he’s about 70+ but he walked faster than us. God bless him with a healthy physical.

This place was amazingly clean and quiet; definitely a good place for old folks. It has been fully occupied by Chinese where they were mostly from China, Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia.

One more shot of this little cute angel - Emilia; she’s only 4 years old and very playful and active. Just couldn’t stop her…

We did manage to visit my friend - Irene who had migrated and stayed in Melbourne. And this was her newly house that they just moved since last December. Nice place with a small swimming pool behind.

These were my cousin sister (from Lim Family), the one beside me - Sister Ah Yee who use to work in my dad’s restaurant 20 years ago. Their children – Leny and Marcus; her husband - Ah Kok ko (‘ko’ means brother).

They have their own restaurant business in Melbourne, and most and suitable time to look for them was during late evening; they love bringing us to supper at The Pancake Parlour.
For 2 weeks holiday, I’d never missed any chances to go to their Church Service. This was Crossway Church that my uncle go for his Sunday service. In fact, I realized he was active and offering to God too.

There’s English and Chinese service, my uncle took us around to see their praise and worship team while they were preparing their rehearsal in the morning.

This was another hall for Chinese service.

Nevertheless, with their hospitality and generosity, they brought to this famous ‘dim-sum‘ place. They kept the Chinese culture ‘Yam Cha” during every weekend. Most of the Yam-cha restaurants were pack with people, therefore, my cousin has made the booking a day earlier.
When we reached the restaurant and I realized the ‘dim-sum’ was prepared by Hong Kong’s ‘Sifu’. This was the beef tendon. It was soft and taste excellent.

Definitely I won’t find these in Malaysia. Taste so difference and just couldn’t believe all these Chinese food found in Melbourne.



Overall, It was a wonderful and remarkable holiday for me and my wife …
