MEETINGS

Since the school reopened I have been attending six meetings just for the week. I think I am sick of it already. Some were just time wasting.

THE HARI RAYA HOLIDAYS

At this age, Hari Raya is a day to get back together and exchange notes. It is our turn to become the old parents where the kids come home to us. I am accepting this fact of life - just that I don't have any grandchildren yet. None of my kids is married.

This Raya we went to Taiping, Kuala Kangsar, Ipoh and we managed to pass through Cameron Highland before going home. That was our third trip to Cameron this year alone. Second day the two of us went to Semenyeh Selangor to visit his brother. On the third day we went again to Ipoh and later to Taping for his old school reunion.

I went to work on the 6th Shawal and to Rawang and Batang Kali on the 7th. We are going to Ipoh again tomorrow.

MY ACTIVITIES

Today my City recorded 121212 km at 7.52 am. Since I worked in Wangsa Maju the machine does not travel much. Usually my mileage is more than 2K per month but now to beat 1K seems impossible.

Today I went to the Immigration Department and for the first time I was asked whether I am a senior citizen. I felt funny. I admitted that I am not young anymore but to say as a senior citizen I felt different. May be I am not used to it. Well this is my first time. In a way I didn't have to wait for long like the others.
