As soon as we arrived at Lara's father's home, they made me eat durian fruit. How was it? Pretty nasty. |

Lara and her favourite fruit - durian. |
Eating lunch at a colonial-style cafe. |
 |
 |
|
Those look sterile. |
Enjoying satay with Lara's dad. |
 |
 |
|
Lara and her Malaysian sisters - Jaja and Yus. |
Too much food...it would become a regular occurrence. |
 |
 |

The steering wheel disappeared!!! |
Lara's sisters and their mom. |
 |
 |
|
Lovely ladies about to hit the town. |
It's gotta be tough for a man to have so many beautiful daughters. |
 |
 |
 |
|
Pouring some Malaysian tea. |
The Batu Caves (as seen on The Amazing Race) |
Lara pretends to race to the clue box. |
 |
 |
 |
|
It's not as bad as it looks. |
"You got something for me?" |
I can almost hear the song "It's a Small World" |
 |
 |
|
Finally near the top, a little sweatier than we were at the bottom. |
The Batu caves were huge, and more importantly, much cooler than the outside. |
 |
 |
 |
|
Pretty cool shot. |
"Come, join me for a brandy in the smoking lounge." |
"Are you SURE its my kid?" |
 |
 |
 |
|
Something shiny caught their eye. |
Lara and I and the big gold guy. |
I could take him. |
 |
 |
|
The Petronas Towers |
The unbelievably huge mall at the bottom of the Petronas Towers. Malls don't usually impress me, but this one sure did. |
 |
 |
 |
|
The Petronas Towers again. |
Looking up inside the mall. |
Lara's engagement ring getting resized. |
 |
 |
 |
|
Like a little girl at Christmas. |
The fountains outside the Petronas Towers. |
Lovely Lara. |
 |
 |
|
Pretty cool looking towers, eh? |
Lovely Lara with her favourite flower in her hair - frangipani. |
 |
 |
 |
|
Lara thinks these look like they're right out of Gotham City. |
We had to make a run for the last subway back home. We were both a bit sweaty afterwards. |

Ehsan's girlfriend Aimy |
Strutting through Malaca. |
Your typical Malaca taxi. |
 |
 |
 |
|
Malaca looks more like Portugal than Malaysia. It's not an accident. |
Lovely Lara takes a break. |
Edgy Ehsan also takes a break. |
 |
 |
|
Death awaits! |
"Please, no photo!" |
 |
 |
 |
|
Lara and I. |
Some of Lara's favourite animals - reptiles. |
More delicious food. |

Taking a quick break by the canal. |

On the boat to Pulau Perhentian. |
Lara and some pussies. |
 |
 |
|
A maurauding ray keeps pace with us while walking down the beach. |
This bug was bigger than my face! OK, maybe not that big...but BIG! |
 |
 |
|
A lovely spot. |
One of the nightly thunderstorms that entertained us while we ate dinner. |
