Nice living

Today is the last day of 2018. The year will leave us soon. For me, I managed to build my house and moved in as planned although there was a delay. In the end, its all well that ends well. I love staying in the new house. I enjoy living in the village. Life is at a slow pace. There's no rush and no jam. I try to go to the mosque five times a day, riding my good old Honda bike. The place is quiet and peaceful. Everyday I see people fishing along the monsoon drain by the road side. Things are generally cheaper than in KL. You can still get Nasi Lemak for 50cents. I get my petrol for the motorcycle from the grocery shop. All in all, its a nice living living in the village.

Great win

I didn't see the match between Liverpool and Arsenal a few nights ago but was pleased with the result. An emphatic win for Liverpool 5-1. I was actually asleep by 11pm but woke up at about 1.25am just when the match was about to start. However, I managed to resist the temptation to stay awake to watch the match. Its nice to stay awake but I was more concerned about how I will feel when I wake up the next morning for the Subuh prayer. I know it will be a good feeling. More often than not I will regret staying awake the night before. Anyway, its immaterial now. Liverpool won. I saw the repeat. The second goal by Firmino is really class.

Celebration do

Was in Shah Alam on Saturday to attend a do by my niece whose husband is now a Phd holder. The do was to celebrate the achievement. While on the way there, stopped over at a tailor in Puncak Alam. Akid need to have his school badges sown on to the shirt. Maisarah as well. Then we we went to Econsafe for our grocery needs. After that we wanted to head straight to the event but felt hungry along the way. Decided to stopp at the Elmina R& R for some Satay. Then only we went to the house to attend the event. While there, the kids couldn't resist their temptation to jump into the swimming pool as it is just behind the house.

Schooling time

On Friday, Akid was at school again to attend his orientation day. This time it is the Sekolah Kebangsaan Parit Mahang. He will start his standard one class come Wednesday 2nd January. Wow! We have come a long way since he came into this world three days after we went for the Bersih rally in KL. He will be one busy kid once the school starts as in the morning he will attend his Sek Kebangsaan from seven till one. Then at two he will attend the KAFA school till five thirty. Its great that the schools are only about two minutes drive from the house and of course, living in the village there's no traffic jam.
