uh oh i see the beginnings of a history lesson
during the world war
penang and melaka were used as the main harbours
for trading etc etc
my mom's family...
i dunno how long they have been in malaysia..
i really don't..
during the world war
malaysia was first invaded by the dutch
and then along came the portugese who kicked them out
and took over malaysia...
there were alot of ea's during that time period
due to.. hmm unwanted pregnancies and etc
my grandma (mothers side) has photo albums
full of portugese family and chinese...
so i'm not sure how long my mom's family has been in malaysia
but my dad's family has been here... for a long long time..
before.. world war 1.. i think
well long enough to have
whole areas names after his family
those areas are in penang along gurney drive...
