Agonising Wait

After we were done with the Friday prayers, the area around Bangsar was a nightmare. Anita parked at Bangsar Village II and it took us almost half an hour to get the car out of the car park.

Good thing that I rarely do the prayers there. I was sure the fact that Selangor had a public holiday contributed to the jam. I can't imagine how it would be like in the center of KL ....

Xmas at The Gardens

As usual, the decorations at The Gardens, next to Mid Valley Megamall had always been simple but classy. And for this Xmas, they certainly delivered again.

The decorations were mainly lanterns and Xmas tree. There were no stages, no Father Xmas and no stalls. Just decorations and that was about it. Which was a contrast to Mid Valley Megamall next door.

There, they were still building the main stage at the foyer. I saw a chess board, a tall Xmas tree and a few stalls being erected. They should be ready by the weekend. Nothing fancy there.

The Final Morning

The weather was the best on the final morning before we departed as if it knew that we were leaving. Reluctantly, we had to pack. The boys were still asleep and missed breakfast. My father-in-law was at the TV watching the UMNO Meeting.

And I took a stroll around the hotel, this time taking just my iPhone to take videos. We planned to leave just after lunch, and should reach KL by 3 pm. We would be going straight to the apartment after leaving my in-laws since the boys were desperate for wifi and Wii U. Kids this days ....

Nice morning sunBye bye room ...I would be going through the tons of images which I had taken during the stay. Hopefully would have time to update the blog further before I start working this weekend.

Foggy Morning

I have always been fascinating by foggy mornings. It reminding me of mornings I spent trekking up the hills of Phen-y-Ghent in the Yorkshire Dales, being rewarded later with glorious view of the valleys. And also the numerous morning walks on trails leading me into waterfalls, carrying my camera around. Those were glorious mornings.

It was 17 degrees out there when I woke up this morning, and the fog still lingered when I got out of the shower. I was sure that the morning sun would soon clear it up, in time for breakfast. The boys were still fast asleep, and today would be the last full day we would be spending here.

The boys were still complaining about wifi - of the lack of it - last night, but the cold weather soon brought them to sleep. Getting ready for breakfast then .....

Holiday Mode On

So, finally time has come for me to take a bit of respite. The plan was to drive to Fraser's Hill tomorrow, but it looked like I had to make a quick stop at the ward before I set off. And then had to go to the bank for a bit of business. I hope that all that could be sorted out by 11 in the morning.

Anita had done the packing earlier and we planned to take off from Gombak. In fact we were already there tonight to get ready. Our maid would also be flying back for Xmas early tomorrow morning. She would be away for close to a month.

Now that the clothes were packed up, time for me to decide which camera to bring. It looked like the A7R2 with a couple of lenses from the looks of it. And plenty of batteries most definitely. Better have some rest tonight ...
