The school holiday is about to come
to an end, and as usual I never get enough of it. Well, that’s the way I feel. Every
year.. ahaks.

| at d wedding |
This holiday, the last day of school
actually, we go back to pj coz the next day we intend to attend a wedding in
bangi. Ibi and dora daughter, amira’s wedding. It turns out to be a grand
occasion, what with the posh and spacious banquet hall, mingling with relatives
in between nasi minyak, bubur kacang, cakes and drinks. Worth going, to be
frank.
Then on the way home to pj, we get
into UM, the place where my wife studied back then. Revisited would be the best
word because we stop at her hostel, to let her soaks in the atmosphere, take
pics, stop at DTC before leaving. Nostalgic
moments.

The next day, after breakfast with
bak and mak, we leave for home sweet home as my wife has to be at school on Monday. On Thursday, the
children watch ‘Goosebump’. They enjoy it very much.
In between I paint mural at school. Still
yet to finish. Entitled ‘tree & bird’.

The following weekend, we head to Ipoh
famous pasar karat. Our first time there and it is an enjoyable place for those
who prefer antiques, rare items and the good old days. There is even a medicine
man who uses snakes to pull in the crowd. It’s the first time for the children
to see such an occasion. At 12, we go to Gunung Lang. It turns out to be a peaceful place, especially
so for picnickers, with the lake and limestone hills around, except that we do
not have our picnic basket with us. : )
For lunch we stop at KFC Gopeng. The children
eat to their heart’s content. Then we go to Kellie’s Castle. After many, many
times driving past it, this is everyone’s first time. From the outside, it
looks huge but once you are inside, it is bigger than anticipated. I wonder
what really happened back then with regard to the story behind the castle. We stop
for prayer at Bt Gajah Masjidil Aqsa replica mosque.

On Wednesday the 2nd of
December, which happens to be my birthday, my wife and I leave home and the
children to perform the umrah. It is the best birthday present ever. Can it get
any better? Not now, for sure. Well, this will be another story in another
posting, okay. For now, we concentrate on the school holidays je.. the children
stay at home and tend to themselves, with the help of Dewi, our maid., as well
as Pak Teh and Mak Teh who live just nearby.

When we get home after being away for
15 days, that Saturday we go back to pj to visit my parents. But not before
going to dengkil Uitm to meet Kak Long @ Iliya who has registered for her second
semester about a week earlier. It’s nice to see her again. Stay at pj for a
night, manage to meet Al, abg n kak ezza, ajib and kak as, other than my
parents la, of course..
And now we are home again, enjoying
the final weeks of the holiday to the fullest. The children get online
everyday, watch tv, eat, have fun, enjoy each other company, which to me is a total
pleasure. Let them have the time for soon, they will be away at boarding
schools and colleges. Only nia will be at home with us next year. Sigh.
As for me, school starts next Monday coz
there’ll be meetings to attend.
So? Layankan saje..
