we've moved!

i am writing this post to commemorate moving into 'new' digs! via maxis broadband connection! (okm is using the digi one) still don't believe how difficult it was getting something as simple as an internet connection. in the end it worked out, but not without sweat and tears which is another blog post in itself. :P

friday was our first night here - decided at the last minute since we had gone to see the macc stand-up comedy show at pjla, around the corner from here. it was only the previous evening that i'd gone on a buying spree at the panashop and got a whole bunch of kitchen appliances. and last night, i had a bunch of gal friends over for a movie and game (satc!). it was a wild - we had cosmo mocktails, chocolate, popcorn and the most delectable carrot cake cupcakes. ;)

this place has been ready for us to move into since we got back from the US but i guess we took our time ... and we finally set the weekend after my inlaw's perth trip for the BIG move but the early arrival of baby niece illyssa precipitated a series of events which led to us leaving the nest earlier. (i have a niece now!)

the house currently is a mess from all the unpacked boxes. (it's hard to believe the amount of stuff people accumulate over the years - even non-shoppers like us!) i think it will be a while before all our stuff find 'homes' in our home. nonetheless, it wonderfully liberating to finally be able to organize - and also do mundane chores like laundry - which i adore. :)

hi there. it's been such a long time. been back almost FOUR months now! what can i say? life in the valley is HECTIC. we've not even caught up with all our old friends yet.

what have i been up to? well ... there's work - yes, i started working. and other stuff that's been keeping us occupied. and one short weekend trip away to an orang asli settlement by tasik bera, the largest natural lake in the peninsula ... actually more of a peat swamp forest than a lake. 

this weekend, we were supposed to go climb mt KK but it was not to be. anyways. .....................

it's been a pretty relaxing weekend. i've enjoyed it. leisurely. very very nice. got to see parents who are visiting from sydney. and we finally unpacked our stuff from the US! registered for digi broadband internet. i bought a washer last week. slowly ticking stuff off the list of things to do before we move. (another locale, but still in the valley)
