We Are Back!

Back from Ipoh on Thursday. What we did mostly? Well, I have to attend court for trial for 2 days while Sara stayed home with Grandma and Great Grandma and occasionally being whisked away by some relatives for lunch appointments with Grandma.



The only thing peculiar thing we did in Ipoh, was to bathe Sara in a storage box instead of a bath tub. We left in a hurry and both me and my mom have forgotten to pack along Sara’s bathtub. She being a little fussy pot does not like the shower. And since we could not find any bathtub or any sort to bathe her in, we decided to get a storage box along with the wheels and cover. And voila, it fits her perfectly and works just fine. It is now at my home filled with Sara’s toys. But it’s a little strange though to see Sara in a semi transparent ‘bathtub’.


Time was too short for me to enjoy Ipoh food which I really missed. I have not been back to Ipoh since my Grandfather was called home to the Lord in 2005.


The Court, to be precise its the Ipoh Industrial Court, which is only 5 minutes away from my Grandma’s house. Imagine the bliss of waking up at 8.00 a.m. in time for a no-rush-breakfast, greeted everyone in the morning with nice smile and played with Sara a little, instead of the hurry-get-ready-before-the-jam-starts attitude.


I left the house in time before the Court starts it sessions at 9.00 a.m. This is so unlike being in KL, rushing and weaving in and out of the traffic. By the time I got where I am supposed to be, I will either breathe heavily due to all the stress of driving or thank God that I survived the jam without killing someone or something.


I always thought that I am not able to work and live in a small town but after 2 days in Ipoh, I am singing a different tune now. I told Daddy Yeoh that perhaps we can shift to Ipoh and settle there. Perhaps I can keep my sanity till my ripe old age. Hmm…w’ll see

YOu have got 3 of the same posts!! Must be some blogspot problem!!

Anyway, forgetting the bath tub is the least of the issues!!! Last time I forgot hubby and my clothings for CNY !!! And I have a bath tub in my hometown in Ipoh as well as babychair.

As for settling down in Ipoh, I think it is possible too. Then whenever I go back, I can come visit you and Sara!

I bought a small round inflated baby pool for Jonathan for traveling purposes. It's so much easier and less storage place.

I wish more of us could move to a small town. Really less stressful...

We are still uncertain of what will be our "future" as Gadget-daddy's work could demand he be moved somewhere else after this year...
We are delaying as long as we can on our move to Jakarta.

Ann: Oh no! It happened to one of my aunt before and its also during CNY.

Julie: That's a good idea. Maybe I should get one too

Moomykin: I kind of like the idea of a small town like Ipoh. Dont worry kin, God will see you and your family through everything.

My dad-in-law passed away on September 1, 2007 to begin an eternal life with our Lord. He was a man with few words, gentle in his ways and had a generous heart to all. He had led a hard life but he was blessed with a loving and faithful wife and three wonderful sons. He had fought a long hard battle of cancer for years. And throughout his life, he kept his heart closed against the Lord. Due to persistent prayers of those who love him and the brotherly love of Sitiawan Methodist Church members, my dad-in-law accepted the Lord Jesus as his personal Saviour, follow thereafter by my mum-in-law. They were both baptized last month. His sickness took a bad turn last week and the sons were called to return home to see him for the last time. There were a few times that they thought my dad-in-law was not going to make it but he managed to pull through. It came to a point, my brother-in-law prayed for a confirmation from God the time which my dad-in-law will be called home. The day before my dad-...

Anniversay

I couldn’t sleep that night. As much as I wanted to but I was full of excitement that my heart could hardly contained. I looked around me and the room was almost in total darkness. The sun has yet to rise for the day. I turned around to turn off my alarm and lie on my back looking up the ceiling. Train of thoughts was running through my mind like a movie clip. As soon as I heard birds chirping, I turned to my side and got up from my bed to make my way to the bathroom. It was nice taking a warm shower before the start of the day. I slowly made my way to the kitchen to find my mother already awake and was up and about preparing breakfast. I was halfway enjoying my hot piping coffee when I received a call on my cell. “Hi, I am outside your house”. I was expecting him to come but didn’t expect him to be this early. I opened the front door and we made our way to my parents’ room. I sat in front of the mirror relaxing myself while he did his masterpiece of painting my face. After a whole 2 h...
