Sunday 23rd November 2008

The night before was wrought with tension and surprises as Man United were held 0-0 by a strong Villa side, no thanks to the excellent mastery of Martin O'Neill. Too bad we blew a chance to cut Chelsea's lead at the top of the table. I must have fell asleep around 2am, coz Adriana woke me up at 3am and both of us staggered into the room.

Got up at 630am coz I forgot to reset my alarm clock. It's Sunday morning, dang nabbit!! Anyhow, took a refreshing cold shower and left home for a quick tosai breakfast at our usual joint, before sending Azie to PWTC. On the way back from KL, decided to check out the site at around 9am. Uncle and Ameera showed up around 915am with some brooms, so I made myself useful by sweeping away the pesky leaves from the decking.

I must say that only after the wood decking are up can I now see the full potential of this place. It looks absolutely marvelous, this without the thatched roof, no water in the pond, and no light effects. The view from the deck on the slope was unique, and I just can't wait to see how the room looks like when it's fully installed.

After 30 minutes of sweeping, I was sweating like a happy pig in a mud hole. Helped to start up the water pump, and after my 10th try, the darned engine decided to start pumping water. Left the site at 1030am for a quick shower, and by 1110am, we left home to pick Azie up from PWTC to go to Puchong.

Stopped at a small grocers to buy taugeh, petai, ice cubes etc, and when we arrived, Azie got down to boiling the petai, and served a 6 course meal in 15 minutes, but Mak Puchong cooked a lovely Talapia Masak Lemak dengan Daun Kunyit, which was devoured by us like there's no tomorrow!! 2 large deepfried Talapia's caught my eyes, and quickly disappeared down my throat, with delicious ice cold air sirap.

After lunch, it was nap time for me coz I only got like 3 hours sleep the night before. By the time I woke up, it was 330pm, and we left Puchong by 4pm. On the way, we stopped at the site for Azie to see how gorgeous the decking and bride looked. She was impressed with how it looks now, and surprised at how large it appears.

Got home at 6pm and started to update my family tree, right up will 1030pm. It rained at around 10pm, and with heavy eye0-lids, and the whole household sound asleep, I shut down my trusty laptop at 2235 for some much needed shut-eye.....zzzzzz
