School is Out!

While most of the Malaysian school kids are in the throes of exam fever and preparations, the boys and I will be going off for an unexpected bonus holiday to Kota Kinabalu, Sabah! That's because their uncle, my brother the lawyer, had decided to go for a law conference in Seoul and give his 3 return tickets which he had booked earlier to us! There are only 3, so D will be staying back, enjoying a break of peace and quiet from us, which will help him to prepare his next sermon and talk at the Melawati school christian fellowship.

The best thing is that my parents will be coming along, on the same flight on AirAsia to KK. They will be staying on longer at the Chees' while we come back on Sunday the 17th.

I've heard and read about AirAsia delays and rescheduling of flights and we've experienced several, but this takes the cake: my parents' flight from Alor Setar to KL tomorrow has been changed from 10.35 am to 8.35 am! Yes, it's been pushed back, not forward! What on earth? This means that they'll have to wait at the LCCT from the time of arrival, about 10.40 am, till the flight to KK at 5.10 pm, which of course, may also very likely be rescheduled. It also means that the boys and I will have to go to the LCCT earlier to be with them and wait with them. Well, we'll be armed with books, and Ethan with his IPod, and probably Chinese Chess for them to play with their grandpa.

So, KK, here we come!
