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 ...

Movers Were In

Anita certainly has had a busy day. She had to organise the transfer of some of the stuffs from Cemerlang House and parked some of the heavy furniture at the apartment. That took some doing and tonight it was finally done.

She was having some rest at the moment. Deservedly so. The main living area still pooled pretty bare as we left it so for the upcoming kenduri. We put the new and the old dining tables at the same corner while the corridors were almost filled.

Some of the old kitchen utensils and chinas were also brought over, now needing some cleaning. It had to be done this week as we would be away to Fraser's Hill Next week and our maid going on her Xmas break back home.

No rest again for Anita tomorrow while I would be on call.

Getting Them to Bed

‎We had to move some of the stuffs from our Taman Cemerlang house tomorrow. That house was going to be sold soon and we were just finalising the paperwork. The stuffs need to be moved out, some into storage while the rest into the apartment. Now that where the problem came. We didn't know how to arrange those stuffs.

But before we can do all that, I had to get the boys to bed early as they had to travel with Anita to their grandparents place while Anita do the arrangements for the movers. It was going to be a long day for her.

We wanted to get the moving done within this week as our maid would be back to the Philippines for Xmas from next Monday. We also planned to have a small kenduri sometime later in December for Idlan's khatam. And of course, we would be away to Fraser's Hill next week as well.

Time to get moving!

Kenduri Afternoon

One of Anita's cousin hosted the wedding of their son this afternoon and the whole family including my in-laws went with us. It was held at a hall in Bangi.

As my in-laws were the guests of honour, we had to be there early which did not go down well with the boys. They were playing up all lunchtime, refusing to eat. I had to stay with them out side the hall while Anita entertained her cousins and relatives.

The theme was blue and it was clear everybody had a great time while I had to soldier on with the boys outside the hall. We should have left them at the apartment with our maid. The original idea was to take them to see some of their relatives who they have not seen for a while.

On the way ....On the way back, they were complaining because they were hungry. We stopped by at Express Sushi while our driver drove our in-laws home.
