Of Heart and Mind

Everywhere, people are celebrating Father’s Day. Special dinners for fathers, gifts for fathers… and suddenly I realized that this is going to be the first year I’ll be celebrating Father’s Day without my father. It’s been almost a year now. 16th July 2005… time does fly fast. Felt like it was just yesterday that I helped him to walk, bathed him and administered his insulin injections… I never like hospitals, let alone doctors and their needles. But since he stayed with me, I was the one who did all his insulin injections, 2 times a day. Oh yes, there were days when the injections didn’t go well… Now I have only memories to cherish… This year, my ‘Happy Father’s Day’ wish goes to my husband and my FIL. Nik gets this from me this year… and a pack of assorted chocolates … ( that’s for me to share with him, of course…must pandai pilih present lah, so you get to share some portion heheheh ) And we’ll be going to Cyberview Resort this weekend to relax and unwind. To all fathers out there….

Finally, I’m writing…. The trip to Singapore was fun…. And also, full of crazy moments.. heheh… Clockwise : The Q @ immigration, street performers @ Orchard, moi infront of Far East Plaza, Nik chilling out @ Starbucks Suntec CT & my precious new sandal... I like!! We left KL after Subuh & managed to reach Johor around 10am. The trip was a short one so we decided to leave the kids behind. It was a smooth ride on a cool & very breezy morning with just enough sun all the way (yes, made me sleepy also!). I took some cool pictures along the way and later discovered that I accidently deleted all of the scenery pics from my camera.... *sigh* Sometimes I can be more than the word 'clumsy' could describe... Anyway, we wanted to enter Singapore via TUAS, then I remembered that we didn’t even have a single cent of S$, so we drove down to JB town and looked for money changer. Then I thought…. no harm of taking the Causeway since it was a Sunday and I was so damn sure that traf

Things have been going at a very speedy pace lately. Looking back, my last entry was in May, and it’s now June.... and we have walked half the journey of Year 2006... another half a year to go. Ohhhh!!!… did I tell you that Nik is now back in KL? … for good? Hmm…. I surely hope so. He came back on the 20th last month, and is now based in KL. Yeah, he might travel here and there once in a while, but only for a few days or so. Haahhh… am I glad to hear that. My last trip to Jakarta last month was the last trip indeed. I took the liberty to visit every single malls there (heheh) and in conjunction with the Mother’s Day celebration, we had our last dinner there in one of the restaurants in downtown Jakarta. Two weeks later, Nik came home…. woohoo!!!! Our final moments in Jakarta So for the past 2-3 weeks he’s in town, we have been planning (we still are) some activities with the kids because it’s school holidays...…. all the makan makan, movie watching, jalan jalan, window shopping, jalan
