Pitstop Check: I Haven't Forgotten About Us!

It's been a while since the last pineapple tart was digested in my tummy in line with the Diwali spirit for every excuse under the sun to rejoice, rejuvenate the digestive tract's bottomless ability to house yet another (gasp!) serving of chicken curry, and to indulge in the requisite of post-lunch opium-proportioned snooze hour.

Truth is, we've been much more diligent in our maintenance of steady consumption of all things good and tasty. In fact, we've been up to more than mere feasting. With FIL admitted in the National Heart Institute for an immediate triple bypass operation, we are at today, very thankful for the amazing feat of display by Doktor Rais and his team. What was a routine angiography turned out to be a confirmed detection of arterial blockage that had required urgent intervention. Of course there was the odd joke of taking Old Man out to Sentul Curry House for his inaugural post-op roti canai but at the moment, he's diligently doing his physiotherapy and being a real inspiration to all of us young and old. The wound was not an easy sight even for the healthy and we can only imagine the emotions that went behind his Berlin Wall of expression.

But the silver lining is looming bright despite the harrowing downpour in KL's streets almost at a religious consistency every evening. We as a family are extremely grateful and I look forward to sharing some really "other" good news in the forthcoming entry.

Stay tune!

ps: The big move Down Under is underway and all things are happening in parallel and like anything we've encountered before in the past 18 months, it sure never happens one box at a time! I'm keeping zen although it's temptingly topsy turvy what not with all the exciting breath-taking moments turning up. Heck, I found even accidentally finding my iPhone had become an emotional reunion. Think!
