Hectic School Holidays

What happened for the past 3 weeks?

Mak came back from Peru just for Atam's wedding. Too bad she came back alone, leaving Uncle Jack behind, missing all the bustling fun preparing the wedding.

Atam got married on May 28-27, we felt a bit short-handed though, that we didn't even have the opportunity to pose with the pengantins. I had to cancel my long leave because work is unbelievably demanding.



Aina caught sore-eyes, thanks to Ariff. She was also down with fever that we were not sure if we coud make it for the Perlis reception on June 1. Adam left early with Achoo & Acik just in case Mama & Papa decided not to go. Well, we made it though despite the jam and sleepiness driving up north on Friday night.

June 1- thanks to the nice food Pak Tam's family prepared, we had a good time though. By this time, Adam also caught sore-eyes. After the reception, we went up to Padang Besar, and we just didn't know what to get there. I finally decided to buy a small wok. Other than that, a few kaftans for me & maid. On Sunday, we held lunch for the family at Opah's house.

Coming back from Alor Setar was another frenzy - the traffic was very slow all the way from Taiping right to Rawang. What used to be a five hour journey became a 9 hour slow moving ride. I was worried all the way because I have a negotiation session at 9am in the morning, and I wasn't prepared for it at all. After everybody had settled down at home, I worked from 2:30-4:30am.
Sigh!
