Our Saturday

Its a working Saturday for Ma, so I had to stay with Pa until afternoon. We did not have to leave home as early as the other working days to send Ma to work. After all, they need not have to drive all the way to Ma's kampung to send me like Mondays to Fridays.

It was just 8.15am when we left the house. Pa decided to take the Ampangan route.

Ma had earlier packed my stuff just in case Pa decided to accompany his friend who was sending his son to register at Kolej Negeri. After some consideration, Pa decided otherwise thinking of the timing and hassle he & I would have to go through...my sleep, my meal, my rest...etc. A phone call to his friend on our way to send Ma to work settled the matter.

We passed by this billboard advertising Visit Terengganu 2008 just before the Bomba traffic junction.

Soon after dropping Ma off at her office, Pa & I went straight home. To keep me occupied along the way, Pa allowed me to hold his handset. I saw my photo on the front screen of the set.

Looking out the door hoping Pa would allow me to play outside but permission denied...it was getting hot.

The next option is to do some reading...looking at pictures is more like it; like this Animal Book.

Finished my morning dose of milk and plain water.

Followed by my morning nap with my "Jumbo" as company.

By noon I was up again. After being changed and fed with porridge prepared by Ma early this morning, it was time for my Alif Ba Ta cd.

We left the house about 12.40pm to fetch Ma from work. She finishes at 1.00pm. The journey should not take long as not many people work on Saturdays including the government servants.

Looking at our aquarium which is void of the fish.

We arrived at Ma's office before 1.00pm. Since there was no vacant parking space in front of her office, Pa had to wait around the corner of the block.

Ma showed up 20 minutes later. We headed for the Hardy Restaurant in Betaria for lunch.

This is what Pa had...Nasi Putih with Ikan Keli Goreng Sambal, some Ulam with Sambal Belacan & Sayur Paku Goreng.

Ma opted for the Mi Soto....and I get to share it with her.

"You want some, Alisya?", asked Ma. Of course I do!

"There you go"

Its fun time at the restaurant after my lunch.

After lunch, Pa sent his car to the tyre shop in Loop Road to get his balding front tyres changed. It was getting unbearably hot. The sound of the hydraulic nut driver gave me a fright of my life. Ma had to console my sobbing.

It's alright...Ma is here

The shop owner got the cue and quickly offered me a cornetto ice cream from his fridge...a trick that worked like charm.

Enjoying the free ice cream in Ma's lap.

Doesn't that look yummy? Hmmm...ice cream on a hot day!

The young man working on Pa's car looking rather serious. He smiled later after this shot was taken.

Now that the new Dunlop tyres have been fitted, the car is worthy of a longer journey. Pa & Ma had decided to drive back to Rembau to see Wan.

We stopped by the Fresco Supermarket to buy some food to bring along to kampung. The kuih stall was already open; so we bought some kuih too.

That story in another post.
