Pandelela Rinong comes home!!

Welcome home Pandelela! She arrived in KLIA this morning. Pagi Rock Crew called Aimi Azizan who was at the airport to meet her for updates. We got to speak to her mama Hartini Lamin. She… is… ADORABAAAALLLS!!

I love the Sarawakian accent. It is so many levels of awesome. Prem asked Aunty Hartini where Pandelela got her super unique name from, and it was because her mama wanted her to be “pandai lah” 🙂 So cool. Hmmm… what else did the boys ask. Aunty Hartini was heartbroken during the 10m platform diving because at the beginning, Pandelela was not doing well, and her points were so far behind her competitors. But of course was super duper happy when she finally won the bronze. Oh yeah, Pandelela’s pet name at home is Nang-nang.
