Back to hometown

Just when I thought this year's school holiday would be a less eventful time as compared to last year; how wrong am I!!! 

After the passing away of my father-in-law, the house back in Subang was left vacant and we haven't had time to go back since.  Andrew thought of renting out the house though.  As much as we love to visit Subang more often, time is not in our favour.  Hence, it is better to have a good tenant taking care of the house than to leave it as it is.  Besides, the extra income certainly helps.  Just when we were at a loss of how to get a good tenant (well, a good tenant is hard to come by), we found one via Andrew's previous contacts!!!  What's more exciting is: The tenant has requested to move in during the school holiday as she's a school teacher.  She intends to paint the whole house and fix the auto-gate on her own expenses.  See, I told you she's good right?

So, Andrew checked his schedule, made some adjustments and we went back to Subang for 2 weeks.  In between, children and I went back to Melaka for the weekend while Andrew attended a conference in PD for a couple of days.  So, what did we do in Subang?  We looked through every shelves, every drawers and every corner of the house.  This house has a history of 35 years + easily another 50 years of precious memories when my parents-in-law moved their parents' belonging over after their parents' passing.

My mom is so gracious.  Hearing that a huge task was before us, she voluntereed to help us out.  As for my children, they spent most of their time playing with each other whilst the adults were occupied.  How wonderful are they!  We also took some time off to visit a few family friends as we know that it would be months later for us to step foot and breathe the Subang air again.

A visit to Cassandra's house

Children enjoyed the company of this little one

Thank you, Cassandra, for your hospitality

Cookie welcomed me with her kiss

A visit to Vic Cern & Yieng Yin's new home

Didn't realise how big my boy has grown until he stood besides baby Faith

Showing off your muscle, young lady?

She must be wondering why this gor gor is so weird

Until today this guy is still boasting about how baby Faith allowed herself to be carried by him and not me

Ahem.... time to sharpen your camera skill, my dear hubby

Finally the two 'brothers' with the children

Special thanks to Grace for the lovely dinner.  We need to fast for a week to clear off our stomach for the sinful indulgence of a presumptious meal.

Not to forget Aunty Jeannie and Uncle Naden.  With only one-day-notice they managed to prepare wonderful gifts for the kids.

Surrounded by so many wonderful people, don't you think we are loved by many?
