DULL DAY

Today, I am alone in this house. AH and Mama are still in KT. They would be only be back tomorrow evening.

I do not water the plants. I don't wish to be outside too long. The "rubella quarantine" next door is quiet. No guards, no patients. Student are going to have their exams starting this 5th November. Hafiz is also going to have his semester exam on the same date. But Jay Jay and Zaquan (my young cousins - sons of La vie en rose) have their exam started since last week.

Hafiz is pursuing his degree in Industrial Computer, Jay Jay is doing his degree in Actuarial Science while Zaquan in his final year Accounting at the Monash University Malaysian campus. All the best to them all. Cik D - AH's youngest aunt, is going to sit for her SPM which is due on the 11th November... it's going to determine her next level of education. This is her major exam.
May all the fifth formers do well and succeed well in this important exam.

The brightly shone sun attracted me to have the cushion covers laundered. So, patiently I took them all out and shoved into the washing machine. Setting the dialer at hot wash for 2 hours, they came out clean and brightly white. I hanged them under the fans...not outside! They did not take long to get dried.

What next to do? I took the ironing board and the iron out. Turning on the switch, checked the water level, line the board with new felt material so that the surface is steady and there I was...ironing cushion covers. Have you ever done this?

I have even ironed pillow cases, children's t-shirts and trousers when they were little. I just love seeing something looking neat and flat.

Looking out of the window few times to check in case prowlers are at work again. None? Back to watching TV...programs after programs...till 12 midnight news. After that? What else, if not reading emails and reading blogs.

Tomorrow I have a class to attend. I get to meet people briefly. Then perhaps, visiting some friends or straight home after. Late evening, shall go to the airport...fetching my beloved daughter and beloved grandson.
