Congratulations Dr Keen & Goodbye Rumah Merah & Rumah Purple

event :: Farewell to Rumah Merah & Rumah Purple :(
date :: 5 January 2013
location :: Filton, Bristol, UK.

Assalamualaikum w.b.t.

Sebagaimana yang para sahabat sedia maklum, isteri saya telah sampai ke penghujung pengajiannya di bumi yang telah banyak memberikan kenangan kepada kita semua. Serentak dengan itu maka berakhir juga penghidupan kami di sini. Dengan izin Tok Pengulu saya memohon jasa baik kepada sahabat yang berkelapangan untuk membantu kami sekeluarga pada 5hb Januari 2013. Kontena akan sampai seperti biasa pada pukul 9.00am. Kepada sesiapa yang ingin menumpang barang, bolehlah menghubungi saya atau isteri saya. Kontena akan turun di Ampang Jaya, Selangor. Pada kesempatan ini saya ingin mengucapkan ribuan terima kasih kepada semua yang telah banyak membatu sepanjang kami berkelana di sini. Kami juga ingin memohon maaf seandainya ada tingkah kami yang tidak disenangi. Halalkan segala makan minum sepanjang kita berkeluarga di sini. Semoga kita berjumpa lagi di Tanah air tercinta.

Air mata sedih terus berlinang,
Meninggalkan sahabat banyak berjasa,
Jasa kalian sentiasa di kenang,
Menjadi ingatan sepanjang masa.

Wassalam.
Abang Zahar dan Kak Kin.


[1] First of all, congratulations to Dr Sakina Sofina and family for surviving and success in PhD endeavor!  Hurray! Days after that, we received a mail from MCB group that it was time for them to plan journey back to beloved Malaysia.





[2] That came with the nightmare of packing all the stuffs you accumulated over the past 4 years or more.. huhu.. scary. I hate this part right here.. lalalala :S




[3] We thought of offering a helping hand to pack the night before the crane was schedule to arrive. However, when we arrived there that Friday night, most everything has already been packed.




[4] There was only some big items such as bicycles that need dismantling left and this unfortunately was not our area of expertise. So the task was left into Abg Zahar and the gang capable hands.




[5] Since there was nothing much to do, we ended up just hanging around and enjoying the delicious dinner :P the menu was ala-Eid style i.e. beef and chicken rendang as well as fish lodeh. Mouth-watering! ;)




[6] We then chatted about almost everything to nothing until late 2am! Huhu. By then, everyone was yawning since it was way off time to head the sack. We reach home around 3am :P




[7] The next morning, the crane arrived at 9am. Hubbykun woke up late though and only arrived there at 10am. I stayed at home because these mostly required heavy-muscled capabilities.




[8] Alhamdulillah, quite a few kind Malaysians also assisted in the morning move. Hubbykun managed to help a bit here and there, but he tried to capture as much photos as possible of the event too, as per special request from Kak Keen.




[9] The job was completed just before 12pm, following the 3 hours window given by the crane company. At that exact time, the crane/lorry moved to it's headed destination.




[10] As a last minute souvenir, hubbykun prepared a photo frame to capture some moments we've spent together with their family through the past years. To Abg Zahar/Kak Keen and family, wishing you all the best in your future undertakings. It was a great honor to know you. Do keep in touch and lots of hugs for us to you both and the kids!
