Lazy Afternoon

Who could blame us? We would be traveling back to KL tomorrow. Was at the mosque during Zohor prayers and lunch, to sample the Qurban cooking. Hung around for a bit - the weather being almighty hot - before deciding to head home.

Wa contemplating a dip in the pool until I realised that I left my gears in KL. Too lazy to head to the supermarket to buy a pair of new swim pants. So, would be bigging it in the room with Anita and the boys, accompanied by room service.

We planned to head to Sun Two for dinner tonight. We planned to go out early, have dinner there, maybe some shopping and an early night.

We would be leaving after breakfast tomorrow, hopefully reaching KL before 5 pm.

I could always hit the pool at the apartment of I fancy it ......

Back to the Hotel

After the Qurban was done for our part, we left for the hotel. My Dad and I were already starving by then. We went straight to the coffee house only to learn that the boys were yet to wake up!

Anita left the maid with them, and joined me for breakfast. She was hungry as well. The original plan was for them to have breakfast at one of the relative's house.

We would be returning to the Masjid for lunch. It would be part of the Qurban food which would be cooked. Better get the boys ready!

Qurban Ready

Early start as the prayers and Qurban would begin by about 8, and I had to go along with my father-in-law and uncles to the mosque and have a look at the cattle for Qurban later.

It seemed that all had been organised, in terms of cooks and other manpower. We didn't have to do much except to pay for their services.

It all started with the Raya PrayersPrayers done. Most of the folks went home to change.A quick discussion with my father-in-law before the ceremony begunTen cows - not all were ours - would be slaughtered later this morning. It was raining in the early hours but now the sun was out.

We were just done with the prayers and now waiting for the Imam to get things organised. Looked like the children on the kampung was already excited touting the cows. Good fun for them really.

The rounding up process beginThe children were told what to expect, so that there won't be any drama laterThe cows were then tied up and felledAnd the Qurban was doneFor the rest of my friends, colleagues and readers, Selamat Hari Raya Qurban.

Grumpy Raya

Grumpy boys strikes again at Anita's Aunt's place. They were settled already for the day when we dragged them out into town. No wonder they had been up to their old tricks now and driving Anita up the wall. They refused to eat their dinner as well.

It looked like we had to stop for some McDonald's on the way back. Hopefully they were still opened as it's Aidil Adha tomorrow.

As for me, food was nice. I was happy. Selamat Hari Raya.

A Look at the Pool

After breakfast, I decided to walk around the pool. I then realised that the hotel was actually quite small. They had a pool just by the coffee house where I had breakfast. And the pool was pretty big considering the size of the hotel.

From the 9th floor while I was waiting for the liftA long children pool separated from the main

It was just after 8 in the morning and already some family were already coming down to have a quick swim. My boys didn't bring their attire. I wasn't sure if they were keen to get wet later today.

The maximum depth on the adult side was 1.25m. The children area was more of a wading pool but it went the full length of the main pool. I reckon it must be around 25m from one end to the other. I was sure my boys would really appreciate it.

Nice deck chairsMore decks on the sideI doubt that many people were using the showerEven if the boys decided against coming down, I wouldn't mind going in there alone.
