Weekend of Weddings

An akad nikah ceremony last night followed by a wedding lunch. And now, I need to chill and enjoy the rest of the weekend. The plus was, it was just me and Puan Anita going for the events, leaving the boys at home. Otherwise it would have been double mayhem.

The akad nikah last night was held at home, complete with a big feast and fireworks. The event started late however, well after nine, and we only managed to return home at around half past ten. The boys were still up then, and it was past midnight when they were asleep.

After the rounds this morning, we were off for a lunch wedding. The wedding was at Templar Park, the first time we attended a wedding there, but I must say that the food was gorgeous. It was not a surprise since the caterer was from Felda D'saji, a well known chain. The highlight was the tapai - fermented rice - for desert. I'm personally not a fan, but Puan Anita really enjoyed that.

So, we plan to take the boys out for the afternoon, to make up for lost times .....

Groceries in Style

Last Monday, after lunch, we managed half an hour or so exploring the newly renamed grocer at Bangsar Shopping Center. It is now called Jasons, and I must say I was mightily impressed.

To start with, they stock plenty of stuff only found abroad. Tatley Tea for instance. We used to asked our friends coming back from England to buy us some before this. Idlan also found his Fruit Loops cereals. He used to find it in Bangsar Village, but lately, they were no longer in stock. Irfan also found his sultanas and his microwave macaroni in cheese. Everybody went home happy.

As for me, I found myself some macaroons .......

A Long Bath

Enough with the toys, now it was time for the bath. And bath they did. They spent more than half an hour already in the tub, and I was hoping they wouldn't end up with an asthma attack. The break allowed Anita to prepare dinner and I spent the time making sure they were not drowning each other. The bathroom however, was a different story. It was drenched.

After a long day they had, and now the long bath and soon after this, dinner, I was expecting them to have an early night. Not a common occurrence at the apartment I was afraid with them running riot most of the time ..... Daddy needed some time to catch up on Downton Abbey!

Lazy Sunday

It had been a long day. We left the concert just before mid day and reached Mid Valley after about 15 minutes, just before the car park was full. Even then, we only managed to find a spot right at the lowest level.

Straight away, we went to the cinema to get some tickets. Unfortunately, Avengers was nearly sold out, and the seats left were separated. Not a good idea with the boys in hyper mode. We decided to go forMen in Black instead. But more about the movie later.

Next stop was Alexis for a spot of lunch. Such a nice peaceful afternoon there, and the boys enjoyed their pizza and I did my rocket salad. After the movie, we left for our apartment, and we spent the action just lazing around. I was in the kids room most f the afternoon, blogging, surfing the net, as well as just looking at them creating the mess. Since they were on holiday tomorrow, we would be spending the evening at the apartment.

Puan Anita was enjoying catching up with some television. I still have a couple of episodes of Downton Abbey to go through tonight, and shall be enjoying them tonight. Maybe after half an hour or so in the gym, before the evening shower.

Off to the Concert

Early start today. Straight off for ward round, and back to the apartment by 8.30, waiting for the boys to get ready. We were off again by 9.30.

Irfan getting ready

Idlan waiting for his turnThe choir. Not as good as the last years.The concert today was at the same venue as the last couple of years, at the HGH Convention Hall in Sentul. It was easy to get to the place but parking was a pain. We were lucky that we managed to get a spot opposite the gall, but the worry was, we may be double parked.

The boys show should finish by eleven, after which we were planning an early exit ....
