since Custard's motion-sickness episode after our HK trip, we decided to keep Custard home instead. managed to get MIL to help us feed and attend to her once a day while we're away. turns out that wasn't a very smart choice either. on the morning following our return, we found Custard's "freshly baked" poo-poo right outside the toilet door. and not far from the crime scene, we spotted a puddle of pee / barf-like substance (was hard to identify since we figured Custard must've done it the night before). the best part was, for some reason, that didn't bother our tenant coz he gladly left it as it was. oh bummer!
Custard ended up getting a day-long quarantine in her cage to make sure she does her business proper at the pan. we took the opportunity to finish up our holiday laundry and carry out a thorough spring cleaning from the bedroom to the kitchen. aired the house proper (since we rarely open our doors these days after Custard attempted 2 runaway stunts and scared the sh*t outta me. will talk about that some other time.).
anyhoos, KL was the usual humdrum. we drove in with Linda and her BF, up to Nilai, where they parted and headed to Genting straight. caught up with some sleep right after we touched base at the hotel. got up a couple of hours later, lunched at Jalan Alor, and did some shopping at Pavilion before a quick cuppa and some Uhuhu's at The Loaf. scurried back to the hotel after my new shoes from Hong Kong (got a matchy pair with Mich) gave me terrible blisters plus my relative came to visit (read: 大姨妈). afterwards, got our usual dose of KTV at RedBox in Sungei Wang and headed back for Zzz.
Poppy was apparently more excited about going to Genting anyway, but since we spent most part of the stay in the casino anyway, there's nothing much to write about. we did catch the match between Chelsea and Arsenal over a couple of beers though.
over the years, it seems we have developed a penchant for patronizing pubs/lounges for sports matches whilst on holidays. guess our travel habits have shifted from being hectic-fanatic to slower-paced and relaxing. alas, maybe that's an indication that age has crept upon us. so random and so depressing. hah. (i think i'm getting high on caffeine.)
on another note, i made a teeny weeny bit of fortune from the stock market recently. yay.
and so, Poppy says we're good to go for another trip, on my account though (that bugger), but leave slots for year-end are ALL snapped up. bummer X 2. persistent me strongly suggests that we should try to squeeze in an island getaway on one of the weekends in any case.
while i rack my brains over that, i suppose i'll end here today.
