Everybody's coming back to KL and the roads are gonna be packed with cars. Hopefully there will not be any more fatal accidents. Enough lives lost by now.
We were surprised by the courteous drivers (even Singaporeans!)when we drove back to Batu Pahat last Saturday. We're expecting heavy traffic at the usual spots (Seremban & Senawang)but the roads were pretty clear and thanks to the 'dreadful' threat by our PM, the traffic summons counter was queue-free. Hail to Pak Lah!
Raya was absolute fun - to the kids! As usual, the male marhaban group will visit each and every house right after raya prayers. Tok Mak prepared her famous custard pudding for them. Deli joined the marhaban group with Tok Ayah and Chu Boy and this year he managed to finished the first half of the round. Hail to Deli!
Started our raya trip the next day. As always, our car will be the designated car for kids. There were a lot of 'NOs' this time - no shoes on the seat, no touching the wierd gadgets, no this, no that, etc. Reluctantly, they complied (after several threats to drop them off at the road side). Managed to visit four houses during the day and two more at night. Tiring but glad to see those faces whom we only get to see during these festive season. Kakak had a slight fever after the visit. So did I.
Third raya, we're off to Kota Tinggi and Kluang to visit Tok Ayah's brothers. Slept through the whole journey. The kids played cops and bandits - i had no idea how that works!
Fouth raya - we're off to KL. As usual, kakak will cry her heart out - refusing to leave Natasha behind. This time around, Hani cried too! Breaks my heart to see them crying like that but there's nothing much that I can do. We have to go back to KL and they have to stay. Kakak slept through the whole journey (so did I)while adik played with his toy jet fighter. Stopped at Ayer Keroh for a quick lunch and reached KL at 4.30pm. There goes our raya break.
Deli was supposed to start work on Friday but was forced to take leave by his better half. Kakak and I was down with fever ever since we got back from Batu Pahat. I was coughing like mad (again!) and to make it worse, i'm having my menses. Whatever goes in, went out like half an hour later. Had the appetite but my stomoch refused to accept any food. Deli bought barley drinks and the makes a lot of difference. Our fever's gone but i still can't eat that much. Luckily kakak didn't suffer as much as i did. Hers was just normal fever.
And here I am, at work on a lovely Saturday with my Monsters Inc. The school is still closed and Deli is at work so i had to bring them to work. It's a long way to 1pm. Time seems to crawl like a snail on Saturdays - working Saturdays i mean.
They are playing catch - gotto stop them before they hit something!
