Oh I am Here

Looking down through the small plane window, ahhh look at the green Malaysia. Such a contrast to the barren arab land. Just smell the air. Freshness! Eh! Wait! Is that haze that is clouding my eyes? Bleearrgghh.

And I must have forgotten how sticky it is here. I am drenched 24 hours. Jack looks like he is being dipped in the pool.

But it is so not hot here, despite everyone is complaining that it is. I was out in the mid afternoon and the heat is like 7 in the morning there. I must say, mid afternoon here is pleasant. ha ha ha.

I have manged to eat satay, otak-otak, mee goreng. koay teow goreng basah, abc, ikan bakar at umbai. And durian, durian, durian. Banguun durian tidur durian. Sampai boleh memilihlah. Kalau tak kucing tidur tak mau. No KFC just yet but I ate A&W with root beer float. Nonah, I was thinking of you.

I'll be going to Melaka next week so I guess I won't be on the net for a long time. Even in KL. Perhaps I should leave my number here. I don't have most of your numbers. So if you have any problem whatsoever, do hesitate to call at +60196570808. Especially famygirl and zan. I need to know your plan.

Hmm what else..oh ok. I have joined the group of most modern parents I know by succumbing myself to get PS2 for my son. Yeah I know, it's not the best move. Insya Allah I will place discipline on him. Not on schooldays for sure. I think I should allow some indulgence of modern stuff on him. He does seem to be rather lost around his friends. I am not afraid to practice my veto power on him anytime. No anti socialising is allowed. We'll see.

Oh by the way, I think being 9 is probably not the best age for a boy. He can't play at certain parks. He is not allowed to enjoy the car ride at Umbai. He needs to look after his brother. He is too young to join the teenagers but getting old to act silly.

Oh oh. You know we were eating together at this restaurant here, noisily. I was looking at this family. The wife quiet blank stare. Husband quiet blank stare. Two kids were also quiet. Food came, mom feeds kids. Father eats quietly. Such table manners. BORING! Most of the time hubby reads papers. We do that too when we are eating without the kids, but we usually share our opinions on topics and soemtimes berebut papers.

I thank God for all of us speak and talk to each other at the dinner table. While waiting for food we can play games or listen to their stories. Or I would talk to lover while the kids quarel. I use to think memekaknya, but now I am thankful because I don't think I can stand if they do not speak to each other.

Other than that, there is nothing to report. The kids are having fun. So far so good. I am definitely not counting days to go back to Qatar.
