Settling In

In the end, it took a couple of carful of luggage to complete the move to the apartment. Unpacked and finally settled unfit the night, with a quick trip to the ward to boot.

Dinner was done and now I was sitting in front of the TV watching United away at Villa. The boys had got their toys organised in their rooms and it looked like it would be a long evening. They often get overexcited on the first evening at the apartment, going to bed late and got up even later the next morning. Sure looked like the trend going to continue this time around.

Not sure what Anita got planned for tomorrow. At least she has a car with her should she wanted to go out with the kids. I have my schedule were tied up with clinic at Park City in the morning.

Weekend Too Short

The weekend had come to an end and what a relaxing weekend it was. Only 15 minutes to work, cosy little place and near to all the places we loved to go to in town. That was the feeling like everytime we spent time at the apartment.

Idlan was occupied with his artwork. Irfan causing mayhem in his room and beyond. Anita got some me time watching her DVDs and the TV. Even our maid had her own time to herself and was able to nip to church last Sunday.

I even had a chance of trying out the latest instalment of Diablo. Using Irfan's PS3. Wow! It had been a while ......

We were still waiting to finalise the sale of our other house and would be using the money to do some renovation and redecoration on the apartment. So, in the meantime, we just made do with what we had. Even the master bedroom had no bed. Just a bunch of mattresses.

Mission Beanbags

So, the mission was a success. We went to The Curve for lunch as well as looking around for beanbags. Idlan and Irfan wanted them. A few weeks back, we saw a small vendor at the Ikano foyer selling these but the cat was too full for us to carry the bags home.

Not so that day. Luckily the vendor was still there although we still looked around for better deal. There was none really to be had. Harvey Norman had some on sales but they were expensive and not very comfortable to sit on. So. We skipped that. There were not much in terms of colour and material as well.

Idlan was not impressed with the shopThe second shop won him over

Buy at the vendor - located right in front of Cold Storage on the Ikano's ground floor - they had plenty to choose from and they offered bundled foot stools for free. Deal clinched!

I was carrying the bags to the van soon after. A couple of trips of course, while the boys helped out with the foot stools. Were they happy? Daddy was happy as well!

Another Leak

Unfortunately there was another leak at the apartment. This time it was at the bathroom by the main living area, and the water had seeped through underneath the parquet flooring. It would be another job to get those sorted out.

Informed the management about the problem, and the supervisor had seen in. Next would be the maintenance manager and the flooring company people coming to sort out the insurance part. Tedious.

The repair work might start in a week or so abd would probably last a fortnight. The plumbing would also need replacing the walls repainted. Sigh ..... The problem of living in an apartment .....

Windy Afternoon

The plan this afternoon was to join the boys for their swimming class straight from the apartment after work. Usually on a Saturday afternoon, I would gave lunch at work before taking a breather for a couple of hours at the apartment.

Being Ramadan, there was no lunch today. So, in spent the afternoon just watching TV - watching the fascinating documentary I blogged about earlier.

Right after the documentary, the weather just changed. It was raining heavily outside night this moment. Hopefully, then traffic won't be bad as we planned to have our iftar outside this evening.
