breather

Eezie cafe
we're just sorting a few things out before heading out on our first proper hols this year...to egypt, land of pyramids and mummies..thanks to my airmiles points...sekejap only, one week, but we hope to get in cairo and luxor in that time...armed with tips from friends who lived and been there, we hope it will be a breeze navigating thru the people and places....they are quite a character, apparently they are really into tipping they make the yanks look like rank amateurs....lets see how it goes, quite looking forward to it now...
am on my 4th day of puasa 6, banking on the last 2 days of syawal to reach my 6...insya'allah will be healthy enough to do it.

roo mare tear boo car

Eezie cafe
being away from home means that you sometimes try harder at recreating the atmosphere that you normally take for granted back at home....and so we have not missed a weekend day without going over to a friend/colleagues open house so far this syawal. we just had ours last weekend, and i am thankful we managed to do it, started at 1 and the last guests left after the holland italy friendly at around 10.30! alhamdulillah all went well, even our neighbours showed up and enjoyed themselves...one was born in indonesia, the other worked there for 2 yrs, so no shortage of keen supporters of the old spicy food...not to mention the extra pedas masak lomak cili api that the mrs whipped up...it really needed its own warning sign! i even had a guest who happens to be a committe member of my golf club in kl, the krtu...so we caught up a bit on that front...he happened to be visiting attending a chemical weapons conference...and also completing the last of his puasa enam! i was impressed considering he was completely surrounded by people who were stuffing their faces from meehoon goreng down to kek kukus...respek brader...
all in all, a good fun..lets see if we are up to it again next year...but certainly not sure if it will be in holland.....from now its just cruising to other people's open houses...and of course to egypt in less than 10 days...time really is flying...
sir lump mud mare lump all!
