Meeting up with old friends.........

Tuesday and Wednesday have been a great day for both of us.......

Winnie, Carlene and her parents came to Berlin for a 4 day stay and we managed to meet up with they all for two days...... first was a Hello long time no see dinner which we had on the 2nd day she was in Berlin. We took her to a strictly traditional German restaurant serving strictly German food. Was a great experience for her and her family and they were completely fascinated with the taste and the names of the food served.

Anyways..... Amelia and myself had our 2nd trip to Potsdam today together with Winnie and her family. The decision was kind of last minute..... and Amelia was whisked onto the train together with Winnie and the rest of us to the quaint little town of Potsdam once again..... but this time, we sort of ventured slightly more compared to the other time when we came..... we managed to go into that quaint little street that is filled with shops and had a fun time window shopping through the street...... There was even this small quaint little shop that was selling personalized items with all your names on each and every item, from teas to gummi sweets to candles etc..... But oh well... it stays as window shopping. Afterall, the Christmas Markets aren´t officially up... and there is no way I am gonna waste money shopping like this.

Schloß Sanssousi was indeed a remarkable trip this time.... Amelia was happily running around Winnie and her family and even myself... and acting the miniature Tour guide to Winnie´s parents telling them "you should go here to see this" and etc.... was really cute watching her playing tour guide.... and it was even nicer of Winnie and especially her parents to even entertain my little imp throughout those two days we met her....... They seriously enjoyed playing together with her... running up the stairs and all. *fascinated* xD


We didn´t manage to complete the whole place, as the entire grounds is really huge and that walking around not only made my daughter tired, but everyone in the group was tired.... thankfully the weather was indeed perfect, sunny and windy at the same time..... Not too hot nor too cold..... I really love this kind of weather... ^^ 


My daughter was completely like an Energizer battery that keeps going on and on and on with her endless energy, running all over the place, holding hands with everyone - especially with Winnie´s mum. She just completely clicked with her and kept saying "I want to hold popo´s hands"........ Guess she must be missing her grandparents back in Malaysia alot...... but.... she completely made the day of both Winnie´s parents alot..... Was really nice seeing all of them enjoying themselves thoroughly :)

When we were in the Bus on our way back to the Main station, we stumbled upon the shopping street.... Winnie was extremely curious bout it and we decided to hop off the next stop and to take a 5 min walk to the destination. Was worth the stop as that quaint little street had so many quaint little shops all around it.... Indeed a wonderful and rare sight, especially for me and baby as we barely wander around Germany *yet*.......... 


But with us stopping there, we managed to get a quick bite for lunch... Hotdogs..... before making our way back to the main train station to make our way back to the other side of Berlin........ 


Thankfully, me and Amelia made it back in time.... we had an appointment with Amelia´s doctor for her immunization (again)..... yeap.... Amelia is getting immunized all over again.... its good in a way..... as we are now in a foreign country, we are getting all the immunizations for the disease normally found here instead... :)

We managed to meet Winnie and family one last time for the day. We had dinner together... Asian dinner. Was indeed a very long and nice dinner, simply with chatting and sharing food by passing food all around the table... *ahem* hubby gets culture shock here :P But.... after hours of sitting and eating and chatting, it was time to say goodbye.....


It was indeed great to meet Winnie again after all these years. It´s good to hear she is engaged and getting married by end of the year or so.... and even greater to meet the acquaintance of her parents.


Thanks Winnie for the opportunity to be able to spend time with you :) Hopefully we get to meet one day again when we go back KL for a visit :)
