cameron

Guess what? Family trip this year is to Cameron! Last family trip was to Desaru, which we have went twice.
It is good to have this kind of yearly gathering, with all taking time off and relax among the families. Though most of the time, there will definitely be frustrating times, i.e. on confirming travelling date, when making booking arrangements on accommodation and transport, on deciding where to eat, on keeping track on schedule, on getting the kids ready and etc. Still, this is the only other "full" gathering we will do, once a year.

But sad to say, I have to opt out from this trip, due to an unavoidable appointment which falls exactly in the middle of the trip. I was so devastated, as, this is one of the trip I look forward to, it is among the places I have not been before, I do not need to take any leave for the trip, the appointment is not being well informed much, much earlier. Even though I was informed three weeks prior to the trip, but all things are almost arranged, and because of the late information, I have to bow out from the trip. It is really kind of disappointing, not only on the missed trip, but also because no empathy shown from mike.

Next thing we know, Jayd seems to have ulcers and there's suspicion on having HFMD, but need to further confirm. This news was updated like four days prior to the trip. Luckily there is enough time for the doctor to confirm, because if HFMD, definitely not able to go as it is contagious and easily spread to other kids. But luckily, things seem to be alright, as things are proceeding.

After that is dad, suddenly on suspicion of having dengue, after he went to see the doctor on his headache the night before. And this is known three days prior to the trip. As they are travelling one day earlier to meet up in KL, so he is rushed to the hospital, supposedly to get blood test to confirm. But ended up with normal checking and the doctor mentioned that for dengue case, body temperature will be high, with or without medicine, and also there will be vomiting and red rashes. But luckily, after one day of monitoring, do not see anything unusual.

Then early morning today, it is mum's turn, having hit by car park barrier, right on the head. Maybe her mind is full of thoughts this morning, that cause her not to notice on the barrier. But hopefully the barrier is those light-weight kind and only causes her some pain which will go away soon.

After that is Jam, whom forgot to change currency for the trip and it is too late, as she is also travelling one day earlier prior to the trip. But hopefully, it is still manageable, if the others have more to spare.

Lastly, is a more recent news, Jah got caught up in an accident. Not much details were informed as of now, as they are going to report the case. Hopefully, it is just a minor traffic accident with no much damage and no injuries.

Boy, all five families seem to be taking turn having "issues" that might hinder the trip. Jayr is actually quite worried, as we both noticed these "symptoms" popping out now and then. Well, as the trip is proceeding, we can only pray for the best, and be on our tiptoe.

There will be sunshine after the rain.

Well, luckily the trip proceed without any hiccups. All went quite well, except for Jayr's turn in getting sick during the trip.

It's the last day of the trip, and all will need to get back to routine stuff soon, i.e. kids to school, adults to work, elders with tv.
