I've always dreaded going back to dad's hometown in Muar, but I find it quite enjoyable these days. I think it's probably because my parents' teaching (maintain tradition, bla bla, who else will do it if not you people, bla bla, respect your elders bla bla).
Anyhow now that I'm 'older', it's less intimidating to drive around roaming the hometown that is still largely strange to me. One midnight we were desperately hungry so drove around and couldn't find anything to eat. San jie said there's a Halo Cafe in Muar. Halo Cafe is a cafe with live performance (Chinese songs) where people sit around drinking tea with mini rosebuds. I said okay cos I like Chinese music and there's free wifi. Got there around 1245 am, was told that they close at 1 am so not taking in new customers, so all we did is sit in car and freeload on their wifi. Haha :P Sometimes I really don't understand why won't these people just serve us. I mean, there are other customers there having beer and all, so it's not like they are gonna chase the customers away. Actually I do understand. They are just working there, so they don't care if they make another extra or less 10 bucks.
Less words, here are some pics from Muar.
Otak-otak is what Muar is famous for. Oh I forgot the Namewee guy.
Sexy lingerie Muar style.
Kaochim (getting one's fortune) at the Kuan Yin temple. Thean Choon Temple. A yearly affair for us.
