Back in Dhahran....

Back again in Dhahran since 19/8/08....How 6 weeks flew by so fast....Truth be known I do miss this home away from home of mine...hmm...hmm...maybe because I have all the familiarities with me here now....Anyway..I haven't really got to doing much of anything yet coz' I seem to strain my back few days after coming back...so just take it slow...now it seems better and still I am in slow mode...

Especially yesterday was considered as not to do much of anything day bçoz...we are waiting for the results of Permatang Pauh by-election...we know the results now..Subhanallah..May DSAI gets to do what he needs to do for the betterment of Malaysians....insyaállah...and..and...it seems that this Thurs we will have sort of a kenduri menyambut Ramadhan and kejayaan..since Ramadhan will be here soon...

I need to get myself sorted out on the things that needs to be done too...not just the laundry and putting in things in the drawers and closets but totally in 5 years here we have dump up many many things..so its time for Red Tag days and to sort out and donate especially the clothes..Hannah has got hers neatly pile up at the bottom of her cabinet..the boys still a long way to go and so is mom and dad...Would like to apply the rule of : If you put in 5 new clothes You must take out 5 old clothes if not things are gonna jammed up....

What I have done since the last week home...


  • Laundry...tonnes of laundry....Washing at home and send out for ironing.

  • Clear up some of the kitchen cabinets in order to put in more stuffs...

  • Have unpack the clothes from Malaysia thus the laundry and the hangers...

  • Clean the refrigerator and stoves...

That's pretty much it....In total we brought back 220kg of stuffs spread out with sending via ABDA at RM26kg/bag for 78kg....mainly food items..the nasi impit and Milo sure do stack up the kg's....need to ponder if its gonna be a sensible thing to do in future..overhere..Milo for 600gm cost SR22++ in Msia 2kg cost abt RM21 if not mistaken...since Azlan returns a week earlier he carries with him abt 33kg and 7kg was excess to be paid...when I return with my 3 kids I had 106kg...and 6kg excess to be paid...ngam ngam duit Aramco bagi for excess baggage..ingat nak jimat boleh lah dok perbeli benda2 lain...This baggage thing will now be a main consideration before next repat....Will tell more on the stuffs that were brought back among the five of us...


Got to leave Adzrul behind.....this is a first..usually we will be waving him off...now he is waving us off....Well...you got to do what you got to do...Insyaállah he will be joining us here for part of Ramadhan and Eid....How long not sure..it depends when he will be called for his induction prior to housemanship....Still..he got to go and get his driving license soonest possible...kereta ada tapi ada driver but takde license lagi...


Will update more soon....
