'Eidul Adha 1445 and Hitam

It has been a week past 'Eidul-Adha which falls on Monday, 17 June. This week saw the whole of my family together. My third son came back on the Saturday and my second son on the Sunday. This time round, we did not go anywhere and stayed at home. So on the day of 'Eid, we took our group photos after the Eid prayers.








We had our simple breakfast of rendang, kari ayam, nasi himpit and peanur sauce.



At noon after Dzuhr, we entertained the request of one of my son to see a Malay comedy movie at the cinema which is supposedly to be based on a true story of a religious preacher. I must say, it is not my kind of movie but it is 'Eid and we wanted just to enjoy the day as we go along. We had a late lunch at Coffee & Dreams, S2, which is a halal eatery. The food was good; they don't serve beef dishes (only chicken  and seafood dishes - I can't take chicken or seafood) but luckily they have vegetarian dishes.



The next day, my youngest son had to go to work after over three weeks of medical leave. He will be using crutches and wear only sandals to work.


From now on, we will be sending him to work early in the morning and then picked him up again at 5pm. This is mainly due to that he can have dinner easily (a bit inconvenient for him to move around at night). 

With most shops closed just after 'Eid, we decided to try out Omak Sey restaurant (was said to have went viralled) for our lunch.



The food was delicious but unfortunately it was too expensive for us. The meal for four (with only two dishes shown above) costs about the same with the meal for the whole family (six of us) at Coffee and Dreams. The restaurant is perhaps be better placed at luxury residences where the people can really afford such meals.

The next part of the post may have pics and videos that are not too pleasant.

To update on the kitten that had severely injured leg posted before, the amputation actually was done two days after we sent it to the clinic in order for the kitten to regain strength after losing too much blood. After the surgery, we were told that its heart stopped for a while and the vet had to do CPR on it. Here is the kitten after the surgery


Here is the pic of the severed leg.


Here is another video when he is still at the clinic.



We will be taking the kitten as a new member of the family and we called him Hitam, a name that was given spontaneously to the vet due to its colour. We have now brought him home but we have to keep him in a cage so that his wounds (stitches) will heal properly. We have yet to toilet train him properly (previously he roamed free in the backyard) and thus additional chores.










Currently, he seems to be having diarrhea. We tried changing food to see if it stops but not very successful. We hope to send him to the vet perhaps tomorrow.
