Let's Pack

We would be moving into the new apartment this weekend, and the lease for the current unit would lapse soon after. Even though we have yet o accumulate much in the apartment, packing took a bit of effort.

Anita started things rolling with getting some cardbox boxes a nearby hypermarket and we begin the packing this afternoon. I have yet to clear my room, but would start tomorrow afternoon after my morning round. Next would be getting the movers sorted out. They were booked for Friday. I would also need to get the satellite technician in to install internet and cable to the new apartment. That would have to wait until Wednesday since the technician were still on CNY holidays.

We were halfway done now, but the heavy lifting would be left to the professionals.

To the Apartment

As planned, we relocated to the apartment for the weekend. But the departure was delayed since we were expecting visitors at my Mother-in-laws. They never turned up. So, it was almost time for the swimming pool when we finally got round to Bangsar. And with the thick cloud, sunburn was not a risk.

Swimming pool it was then, although I decided splashing in since I was expecting calls from the hospital.

The pool at the apartment was actually rather nice. It has three compartments, for toddlers, young children and a 1.5m 50 metre pool form the adults, long enough to swim lanes. Mainly filled with kwai lows and their children, and we couldn't helped but felt being stared upon when we arrived. They might thought that we escaped in.

The boys were in the pool for the best part of an hour, while we surfed the net on the decks - free WiFi here form the residence. Usually there was a cafe opened near the pool and gym, but it was closed today being a public holiday. That also meant that we had to go out tonight to get some food for dinner. I don't think that Anita was in the mood to cook yet after the move. We would be staying until Monday. The boys would be skipping school tomorrow, for an extended weekend.

Julia visits Zehn

The dinner went well. Although the initial plan being just my parents to come along, my sister and her family came along as well which was great. And I was able to hang around for the few hours they were at the apartment while Siti for the admission to come through. And dinner was great.

The children brought their swimming gears along but the moment they got over into the apartment, they just parked themselves in the playroom. No swimming then. And it was havoc.

Anita cooked nasi minyak complete with the condiments. We chatted until it was time for me to start my evening rounds. And even then, the children were still playing. We better get them to pack their clothes next time to spend the night here.

Sunny Sunday

The Gombak house suffered from water shortage all weekend. We decided on waking up this morning to head to the apartment, spend the day there doing the washing and everything. It happened that I had to be at the hospital later in the afternoon, so, it wasn't a bad idea after all.

We had to return early though. United kicks off early this evening. It could be a key weekend as if we beat QPR and Arsenal did us a favour by beating Citeh at home, the title would swing to Old Trafford big time.

Just sorted things out at the apartment and were ready to head out for lunch. Not decided yet in where to go. But Bangsar Village is only 5 minutes away. That may be the destination.

Holiday Week

Until this morning, we spent the whole week at the apartment. Even though the beds would only be delivered next week, we managed to get most things sorted out, and the boys were especially happy. The highlight being the big screen at the living room.

Irfan would select his Astro channel and din the lights down while settling onto the sofa. It was movie night every night as far as he was concerned.

We were also waiting for the gas to be sorted out. I have been calling Gas Malaysia a few times but they were always busy. At least we have the induction hob at the dry kitchen, and we made do with that for the moment.

Unfortunately, we had to return to Gombak today. I'll also be on call tomorrow, and it looks like I'll be staying there alone tomorrow evening.

We would work out a schedule later on as to when we would be coming over again. We were planning weekends there for the time being as the boys would be staying in Gombak during school nights.
