Father's Day Dinner

My father-in-law has not been in the greatest of health since the turn of the year. It was quite seldom that he would leave the house - which usually meant a trip to the hospital for check-ups. For a change, we took him out for dinner.

It was Father's Day after all. And he loved some western food. We brought him over to Victoria Station in Jalan Ampang and he ate a lot.

He was very happy that for his coming birthday we would be bringing him over to the same place as well ...

Happy Father's Day

As usual, my boys did not get the memo when it came to Father's Day. I could only console myself with some gifts from the ward staffs when I did my Sunday Morning rounds.

I got some chocolates and cards, enough to make me smile. Ramadhan meant organising dinner was a bit tricky. Maybe we would do the dinner some other time. The next day also happened to be my Dad's 70th Birthday. Again, we could not organise any dinner. Maybe we will do something a bit later in the month instead.

Happy Father's Day to all celebrating!

Around the Corner

Father's Day would be coming in another couple of weeks time. It would be the first weekend after Ramadhan starts.

I was dropping hint that we should get an iftar night out on the evening. Hopefully somebody would be listening.

The main lobby at Bangsar Village todayBangsar Village had started decorating for that. Idlan was asking me earlier, why was is always that sailboats were used as symbol of Father's Day celebrations? I really got no answer to that one. Maybe it had something to do with sailors?

Happy Father's Day

The boys with their cardsIt’s the third Sunday of June again, and Dads everywhere - rejoice for this is your day! Idlan and Irfan brought me a surprise on Friday. They made lovely cards for me, and when I got home from work, they drag me into the room and parade them for me. A nice touch. Puan Anita was away then, to pick up our new maid from Klang. So, I have to make some plans for the weekend. Will needed to take my Dad out for lunch on Sunday. It happened to be his birthday as well! He actually asked me to get him a new desktop PC as his current one was going kaput! Hmmmm! Maybe next month.

From Idlan... and IrfanHappy Father’s Day everyone!

As mentioned, we took my Dad (Dada) for lunch today. As he liked steaks, we brought him to Marche at The Curve. All his five grandchildren were on tow and as expected they created havoc. The good news is there was a 20% discount on meals for Father's Day!

We spend a couple of hours there with the children occupied at the playground. Next, we headed across to the Sunday Market. According to my sister, Julia, the stalls were pretty disappointing today compared to last. That didn't stop here from getting a brand new pair of shoes. Next, we walked across to IKANO. Julia wanted to get her children Crocs shoes.

It took us nearly an hour trying shoes out to keep everyone happy. They then headed for the play area back at The Curve causing more havoc there!

Finally we drove home around 4. It was a long afternoon. Both Idlan and Irfan went to sleep at 8 tonight. Idlan has his school assessment tomorrow, and Anita was up awake worried. Imagine if he was taking A levels or something. I'll probably need to get Anita a pacemaker!
