It’s Moving Day

Well, actually moving day was almost a month ago. The only problem was work was piling up and worst of all there is no internet connection where we are now. So where are we? Hehe.. nope, Ah Kong’s house renovation is not done yet and yes we have moved.. to a temporary place to stay in. We were supposed to be moving again today, but instead we’ll be here another 2 weeks more.

We moved from what was home for just over a year on the replacement holiday for Deepavali. Most of the things we would (most likely) not be using for a while was packed into boxes and moved to Minden. And for the next month (or so) we were to stay in a temporary accommodation with whatever we brought along with us. In actual fact, as at 5pm that day after everything was moved to Minden, we did not yet have a place to stay in! This was because the landlord of place Ah Ma had picked was not able to be rent out in the last minute. In a way that was a blessing in disguise. Instead of the planned 1 month, it looks like we would be here for a little longer. And that first place was a lot smaller than this house that we are staying in now. So where are we staying?

All tired out.. your last nap on the condo's sofa

Ahh.... it’s still nearby to our condo. It’s in Tanjung Tokong and you’ve learned how to say this place “Tanjoing Tokong” when you’re in a good mood, and “Tanjoing Kong Kong” when you’re in a cheeky mood! All of a sudden we’re living in a house with stairs again and of course you are amused with this. You were told not to climb up the stairs alone and that warning was only heeded the first few days. Just a few days ago Ah Ma caught you climbing upstairs.. and not to the first floor, but to the second floor!

This place is rather different from what we’ve been used to , but having stayed here for a month, we’ve all gotten used to this place. And one thing that we like about this place is the area. It is a gated community and we are staying in one of the terrace houses. This side has a nice pathway where you go riding your bicycle. The playground is just across the main road from our house and there is also a nice pathway along the seaside to cycle along. On top of that you’ve made friends with the little boy staying across the road, Thomas. Most days as we approach the house you’d be outside playing with Thomas while his mummy and his little sister watch and chat with Ah Ma.

One funny thing about this place is that some of the things are made for giants:

Super high rack and super high towel rail

.. while some are made for little people, like you. See.. you can reach the switches easily because it's only waist high (for an adult):

Our room is the bigger room and it’s got an adjoining bathroom with:
...two sinks and a bathtub just for you. The stool that Ee-ee bought for you is just right. When you stand on it, you can just reach the sink and brush your own teeth.

Our room has a view of the airwell outside too:

One thing is for sure, we’ll miss living in the Tanjung Bungah/Tanjung Tokong area when we move back to Minden. Then again, that place also has it’s own charm. After all we’ve been living there for quite a while. Maybe when we’re there, Kelvin and Kaitlyn will visit us more often.
