Before the BIG MOVE ...

Before the Big Move, we had to sieve through countless items, gave away some of them, threw away a lot more and get ready the others for shipment.  I must admit that i was more a sentimentalist at heart than my wife.. she's the practical one and advised me against keeping those that would not serve us over in KSA.

Above picture shows how our holding area looks like in the living room. We converted the playpen area to 'hold' most of our ship-bound stuff .... it was hard work .. gotta thank wify and her 'gang' ... especially with little Abdul Matin playing this antics around the house.

MEN AT WORK:
Here are several pictures of the movers working on our stuff for the sea / air shipment.

Counting the total number of boxes and tallying them

 "Did i forget something?"

Abdul Matin decided to weigh himself ...

The previous abode ...

Ahh those were the days!!
Relaxing on the sofa (wonder who we gave it to) and watching the EPL matches, movies etc etc while eating and munching .... I remembered the place quite fondly as it was near to a lot of amenities .. mosque, MRTS, bus stations, the MALL etc etc ...

Food Glorious Food

This was a gathering of the mosque board members.  Alhamdulillah, it was one of the few moments spent with them before i flew off to KSA.  Serving in a mosque board was an unforgettable experience; the trials and tribulations; the snide remarks; and lots of other stuff that comes with it..... Alhamdulillah, we took it in our stride and persevere; May ALLAH swt reward my board member friends; protect them and give them the patience to face future challenges ....

One of those gathering: Group of us went to Sedap Corner in Bedok. The 'elders' treated me to some very tasty and delicious food, Alhamdulillah. Hopefully one day, God's willing, we'll get the chance to meet up again, insha-ALLAH.


The servings were large .. i had trouble finishing them up all by myself ... Masha-ALLAH.

Here are some pics... YUMMY!! (Big Time)

Getting ready ...

Dateline is approaching pretty fast. Been very busy preparing, putting aside and giving away stuff. Hopefully, we get it all done before the sea shipment date arrives. Its times like this that we found those things that we couldn't find previously.

:)

Kids and wife are all anticipating the move. Anxious and all other feelings rolled up into one. Wife esp. She's been occupying herself in reading up the information available on the web (blogs included).

As for myself, I'm trying to prepare myself mentally and physically. Been in contact with some people over there. Been enquiring about how things are, what to expect .. the works.

However, i guess its when u get there, then the adventure begins.

Till later ... Syukron for reading.
