Some shots taken at Pusat Tamaddun Islam in Kuala Terengganu.

It's a small world after all

Never have I ever imagined in my life that they (my inlaws) would end up staying close to us one day. This morning around 9.30 am, we viewed their "new" house (located just within a shouting distance from ours) with an estate agent and gave our thumbs up for them to go ahead with the purchase.

At first, we thought they would at least take 2 to 3 days to think about the offer. But surprisingly, on my way to the office this morning, right after the house viewing, Ayu called me over my mobile telling me it was a done deal.

Yes, so now, it's gonna be just a matter of time before they could move in their new house. It is great to have close relative staying close to each other.

Let me be the first to congratulate them on the good buy!! We are happy for you.

Gimme back

I can't recall when was the last time Ayu and I went watch movies together (just both of us) ..... it must have been decades ago. Suddently, it all dawn on me that ever since we had kids we have never done things we used to do when we were both single .... together.

So recently, we told the kids - at least once a year, ayah and ibu will go vacation without them. I guess you can expect their spontaneous retort right after that la......

No la.... sometimes I feel I need to be alone with Ayu to do things we both like to do (what are you thinking? I'm talking about HOBBIES like watching movies, travelling, gardening etc) . Sometimes I feel I need a "space". This "space" was taken away by the kids ever since we had Irfan. Now, I want it back, well ..... at least a portion of it.

But anyway, last nite was a good start, watched a good movie together at TGV and later went for a late dinner. Not so much of the movie, but that valuable fun moment means a lot to us.

The quality that counts

No more angkle pain suffered for almost a year of playing badminton ever since I put my feet on this thing. Fully recommended - soft, excellent grip on court, comfortable, light and airy.

Change

The twins have pretty much changed our family life. It seems that our existing house can no more accommodate the size of our family. No choice, hafta go get a bigger house!!

Last weekend, we had a family gotong royong to clear the compound (full of bushes even trees as the house was never been occupied ever since it was bought by the last owner - almost 6 years) . Normally on Sundays, the kids would wake up at 10 am. Suprisingly, on that particular Sunday, they woke up early and had helped us a lot.

Before

After

The last of Haji Manan clans

You too will end your "bujang" life soon .... finally ......

Congrats!!!
