Lie in on Xmas Morning

I thought I deserved to get up late. And I didn't even go to bed late last night. 7 hours sleep. That was great although I did wake up for Subuh. It was after then that I decided to get back to bed.

And it was the right decision.

Woke up half an hour later. Hit the Facebook to wish friends and colleagues Merry Xmas, checked the news and a couple of blog entries later, it was time to hit the shower.

Again, for those celebrating, a Very Merry Xmas. I was sure a few other were in bed still chilling. Good on you!

More Kenduri Photos

Anita had been very happy. Everything went according to plan and with the maids helping her out, she was able to take it easy in the evening after all was done.

In fact she was watching Cinderella on TV at the moment. Idlan on the other hand asked it I could take him to 7-Eleven as he ran out of junk food. He could do with some sugar rush after all the excitement of today.

As for the photos, it turned out that Idlan wanted me to be with him during the khatam ceremony as he was anxious with people around. He didn't like to be the centre of attention.

So, the number of photos were less than I expected but Anita wanted plenty of snaps. It was the first time we had any sort of event at the apartment.

Kenduri Done

Alhamdulillah. The event ran smoothly and Idlan did his reading, although he was anxious all through out the event. He was happy to get it over and done with.

He got bored during the Yaseen reading as his feet were aching and he asked to sit beside me. The ceremony was almost done by then. I ended up not being able to take much photos as Idlan asked me to stay near him during the event. He was really nervous.

We spent the rest on the afternoon eating after that and Syahril stayed until after his daughter taken a nap before going home.

All in all, everybody had fun. Idlan was relieved afterwards and asked me to take him to watch Star Wars. That would have to wait until tomorrow I was afraid. I wanted to spent the rest of the day at home with the guests.

Good thing that my Mum's maid would be staying overnight tonight as there were plenty of cleaning needed to be done. I had only about fourth hours sleep last night despite it being post-call and I think I might just doze off early soon.

All Set

Started the ward round really early this morning. It was going to be a big afternoon forward Idlan. We were having a ceremony to celebrate his completion of the Quran, his khatam.

He had been practicing all week and hopefully he wouldn't freak out at the event. Anita had been busy preparing and I did my part in making sure the ward were sorted out early on. Hopefully there wouldn't be many calls coming in.

Another role I would be taking would be being the photographer. So, all the tools were sorted and charged. X-T1 with the 10-24 zoom, X-Pro1 with the 35 f1.4 and the A7R mark II with the 90 macro attached.

Here we go!

A Bit Different

Since getting the furnitures over, the living room appeared a bit more congested. And for the first time, I felt like being the Lord of the Manor when I had my breakfast this morning.

There was still plenty of work needed to be done with the apartment but certainly the move had kick started us into gear. Definitely there would be more decorating to come and the place would start to resemble a full house.

Anita had been kept busy still with paperwork and all. She had an appointment with the lawyers earlier as well as a buyer for the old MPV coming over to have a look. Still waiting for an offer though.
