The weekend that "flew"...

Mon 28th July 2008

Time really flew this last weekend! Yup, KL & fmly were here as planned. Arrived earlier than expected ie @b4 5pm in rain! And the best part was...KL extended her arms to me on reaching our door!! That was a real happy surprise! First time ever...recognition at first sight! You should have seen the great smile on a proud grandpa's face...hehe...

As earlier promised, I have added a no. of pics to "The Many Faces of KL in 2008" slideshow in here on the right of the Blog page. Enjoy the updates...

And a bonus right in here for all KL "fans"....haha!Yup, KL enjoying her fav area @ AS Mall...having as many rides as possible. And this one is 1 of her favourites...the Wild West Wagon ride!

As usual, the weekend was full & hectic with most of our time spent with KL. She is still as lively & full of energy...and she has grown even taller now! Never knew a child could be so much welcomed fun for an ole man. However, this ole mind might be willing but, the ole body it's in, is not that young anymore.

So, after KL left with her fmly on Sun afternoon & quiet returned to Lot 10, it was "recovery" time for this ole body. Dinner time was "refuelling" time. With enthusiastic support from my other half, it was decided to have a special item for supper! One whole sp D-24 local durian!! At RM18, it was a feast! Large succulent & fragrant...hehe...well worth the $$. Had to keep some in the fridge, too. Me believe in the "Eat Less to Eat Longer" philosophy these days...

Well, Cine Nite was postponed from the usual Sat night to Sun but due to both having had our fill for the weekend, it was felt that "Doomsday" the movie could be watched another day...

And so the weekend ended on a quiet restful note, with nice happy memories. Sincerely hope yours was just as enjoyable as ours...TC.

p.s. As you know, I've been persistently being haunted by the question "What is Life all about?". And I've tried to answer that, from time to time, in my entries here. Well, after this last weekend with KL, it has also dawned on me, once more, that Life sort of boils down to truly "Enjoying the moment... " Happy times come along & we enjoy them. Spending such times with family members, even extended ones, bring with it all the joy & happiness one can wish for...making whatever past unhappy events fade even more into oblivion! The idea is to move forward. Life is short.

pps. Just received the sad news that the mother of a former colleague (TKS), passed away yesterday. TKS, I feel sure that your mother left feeling proud that she had a loving & filial son in you. Our sincere & deepest condolences to you & family.
