The last two weeks have been busy for Husband, and not so busy for me. He has been travelling between SG and KL every week, loads of work, but he is enjoying the work, which is really great. It has a lot to do with the people he is working with as well - they are people he has worked with before, and he is enjoying working with them again. Having said that, the travelling is tiring for him.
Husband had been looking for a bbq set for some time and we had gone to the BBQ shop in Bangsar Village 1 - but the only one we liked was toooo big, and was approx RM6K - which was way expensive! So, on Sat 9th June, after some searching, we managed to find the PERFECT barbecue, with the help of Google which pointed us to an ExpatKL ad, which gave us a mobile number, which led us to Carlo and Mabel who stock and sell barbecue sets. We called them that Sat morning, and by the afternoon they had delivered a bbq that was exactly what we had been looking for. On top of that, they are a lovely couple and we ended up going out for drinks and a nice long chat with them that evening!
Last week, Thursday 14th June, was Husbands birthday, and my Mum had cooked a MAJOR meal for him. Totally delicious, but both of us suffered for the meal, as we are just not used to eating so much so late...... so it was pretty much a sleepless night, and an exhausting Friday.
Saturday we had a small party at home to celebrate - a bbq party, of course! My sister made a totally delicious salad for the evening - and it was obviously pretty darn good as it was the first item to disappear! Thanks Sue!!
Another friend (Min) made the birthday cake, and it was totally gorgeous (and delicious). She had made a cake in the shape of a guitar, with a marzipan figure of the birthday boy, in swim shorts and sunglasses, reclining on a beach mat, with a little rubber ducky next to him. It was an excellent likeness of Husband, right down to the white moustache!!
It was a good party....the whole family (13 including Husband and myself) was there, and another 15 friends. A good time was had by all (I hope). We ended up with three distinct groups of people but each group was having fun, so we figured it was all good :-) And now that the bbq set has been thoroughly initiated, we must use it more often.
Last week and this week, for me, will be fairly quiet with just a few scattered meetings here and there. No stress lah! Husband, of course, will be travelling up and down as usual!
Till next time, have a good life everyone... and if anyone wants the contact details for our BBQ Set vendor or for Mama Min and her delicious cakes, just drop me an email, or put a comment on this blog, with your contact details and I'll make sure I send you their contact.
PS: As of June 11th, our unit at Armanee DD has electricity. We have also been promised that all remaining defects (mostly cosmetic) will be rectified within the next two weeks....
