Moving, again

It's been two weeks since my last post, and I can't figure out where the time has gone.. it's just zipped by so fast! So, what's been happening?

Let's see, Tuesday 13th March, Husband drove down to SG again, for meetings. On Friday 16th I took the late afternoon bus to SG, (Aeroline, I would recommmend them anytime), arriving late evening. Saturday we went for a friends wedding (Congratulations to Martin Oliver and his truly lovely wife, Jasmine), where, would you believe it, I bumped into someone whom I worked with in 1982 and have never seen since!! In fact, it's kinda scary, the number of people I've been bumping into over the last two weeks, who I have not seen for 20 years or more. though I must say it IS nice that we still recognise each other - obviously we have not changed too much :-)

So, as you can imagine, the last two weeks have been a trip down memory lane! Ex-colleagues from UMBC days, and an ex-colleague from Business Girl days in SG. The world is VERY small indeed.

We left SG very early on 18th morning to head back to KL... and on Tuesday 20th March Husband had to head back to SG again!!! Dual purpose trip this time - he has a whole load of meetings from 20th afternoon all the way through to 31st March AND, on 24th March he had to empty out our water bed in the apartment in SG, in preparation for having everything packed up on 26th March for bringing back to KL. He'll be back in KL hopefully either 30th or 31st March, after handing the keys to the apartment back to the agent, while our stuff from SG will be delivered on Sat 31st March.

In parallel, in KL, on 24th Mar, I got the movers to send me a couple of guys to our house in PJ to help move down the things we want to give away or sell off... My parents have already found a family (mother with two daughters) who will find some of our stuff quite useful, so we are giving them a bunk bed, a queen size bed, a stand mirror, and our 2+2+1+1 black leather sofa set. So, anyway, moved all the stuff from upstairs to downstairs (outside, where it will sit temporarily, waiting to be moved or chucked away) on Sat morning, and then spent most of the rest of the day, until 3.30pm, TIDYING UP the upstairs. Sorting out cupboards, throwing away junk, etc. It was RATHER tiring.

4.30pm set off for a friends house in Melawati, where we were having a surprise birthday party for another friend. Dropped my parents off at their friends house in the same area, so that they could do some visiting while I was stuffing my face at the party. It was a very good evening... lots of talk, noise, laughing, eating, etc. Left around 10.00pm, after picking up my parents, took a night drive through KL city, and got home around 10.35pm.

Now I am back home in MK Pines, doing exciting stuff like the laundry :-) and then going to put my feet up and relax for a while.

To all of you out there, hope you had a good weekend, and hope you have a great week ahead too!

PS: Had to insert this picture, which is just one view from the balcony of our apartment in Armanee. Can you just about see the KLCC towers in the distance? Enjoy!
