family and friends

Eezie cafe
lots of happenings this last few weeks...we learnt about the sudden passing of our uncle last week. arwah pak badik was in mekah doing his regular umrah assistance work that he has been doing for quite a few years now. this time he will not return. he succumbed to his heart attack/coma. though it is a sad and shocking event, we felt that he left us at probably the best place on earth, in the holy city. to his family our deepest condolences, we hope they gather the strength to overcome this loss. al fatihah to pak badik. i miss him dearly. on hindsight it all made sense when he was adamant about sending me and my wife to the airport earlier this year. he never came to the airport to send me off, i guess he already knew it was his way of saying his goodbye.
it is also a busy period in our flat this week. my in laws have just returned home to kl today, whilst we welcome my wifes best friend and her family who just arrived from brussels. we did the usual tourist package in holland, volendam, herring with bread, oysters and amsterdam/the hague to come.
