The Indon ties...

Melaka Water City Resort
Life has been rather hectic and crazy for me lately ever since my mentor or senior at work resigned. He had a better job offer and at the same time my boss is still trying to find a replacement for him. We were informed that his replacement would only be coming in probably in a few months time. That leaves me and the rest with more work load and more additional things to learn. Damn! Work is just too tough to handle nowadays, one of my seniors left in January for another department and now the other one is leaving for another organization. I am sure as hell things are gonna be uphill for me and my other colleagues.

Yikes, I only wish life is so simple and easy eh! Oh well, I am just gonna take one day at a time and finally, weekend is just around the corner. Yess! I am dying to just laze around like a bear rug. I am in need of some quality time alone at home since I was on my toes last weekend.

We were at “Watercity Resort Melaka” on Saturday. We had planned the trip many weeks ahead and Alhamdulillah my dad was strong enough to join in the fun. The trip was in fact a family gathering in anticipation of my dad’s birthday. And it was even more memorable for all of us as we had an unexpected guest from Jakarta, one of the paks (actually granduncle but we prefer to call him pak instead coz he is only in his early 50s..hehehe..) It was lovely to see our uncle again after our December trip to Jakarta. The Indon bonding is getting better through time la..:D. My grand uncle who is a small eater was probably shocked to see us going from mee hoon goreng to Secret Recipe’s Chocolate Indulgence to Kuih Keria coated with some brown sugar syrup to seafood at Muara Sungai Duyong. I just hope he didn’t think that the food binging was a daily affair..muaaahahaha…:D Alamak, to think of it, I do hope that will not deter him from visiting us again..:)

Here is to a relaxing weekend…have fun folks!

mamarock,
I agree the best part of having a family get together is the good food and good laugh. :)

Hi diyana,
Thanks for dropping by. Having all family members in one place can be tough..but once everyone is able to make it and be around..it surely is fun. I love having all my siblings, sis and bro in laws, nieces and nephews, parents and all the extended family around..cos it can be chaotic and extremely fun. :)
