Tokwan's And Maktok's Shortlived Move

They're supposed to move here and live with us back in March but something came up that Tokwan had to postpone their plan.  So anyway, they're here in mid-April.

It was a bit difficult for us to adjust to their lifestyle at first because they're not used to eat home-cooked food for a few years now due to their inability to do so.  So Papa had to go out and buy food for them while I cooked for us.  I don't know why they couldn't treat my cooking like bought food. Hee hee hee... It'd be easier, right?

So, anyway, it's good to be able to see them everyday. We tried to accommodate them so that they wouldn't missed their house too much.

Tokwan was quite comfortable here.  He didn't have to do daily chores.  He didn't have to 'run around' buying food and other stuff.  Maktok was having a little issue with the food here.  Of course they're not the same as the ones in Kedah.

This day Nina was going to the Young Scientist Fair and she's very happy to wear the lab coat.

Couldn't wait for Maktok to finish praying.

One of the weekends we took them to eat Roti Canai.

Enjoying the rare occasion of eating out for breakfast.

Maktok was a very good cook.  She's checking my cooking. Aiyoo... Takuts!

And making sure the Apam batter was the right consistency. Gulp!

During the afternoon, they liked to eat some hors d'oeuvres.  It's Cucur Jagung day today.

The house was a little chaotic because we're in the middle of renovating the upper floor to make way for Papa's studio.

That day too, Aunty Khorsiah and her family came to visit us. They brought some Satar which they bought in Kemaman.
 

We also took Tokwan and Maktok to the famous Ana Ikan Bakar Petai.

 These girls never cease to occupy themselves with something.

Joined in by Zoey.

Checking their selfies.

And became embarassed once realised I was looking.

I think we were listening to Papa saying something.

This girl's hobby is taking pictures of everyone - and of herself. TQ!

She loves Tokwan and Maktok.

Time for another selfie.  Tokwan and Maktok must think we're a crazy bunch. Hahaha...

We also took them to Pantai Sepat.  The keropok lekor there was superb. Sedap!!

Zoey chose ABC.

And Tokwan too.

The food was actually sedap.  We ate Bihun Sup and Bihun Goreng.  Loads of chicken.

Maktok still could not adapt herself to the new situation and wanted to move back to Kedah, much to Tokwan's disappointment. She couldn't adapt to the house, she couldn't adapt to the food, she couldn't adapt to the changed lifestyle.. well, to most of everything.

The morning Papa was to send them home.  We had breakfast together.

Papa bought their favourite Roti Canai here.

It's very sad that they had to leave.

*sigh*

Salam time.

Tokwan and his favourite grandchild.

Yup... It's sad that Maktok really wanted to go home.  If they're here, we get to see them everyday. I don't have to worry about them.  They're only here for 2 weeks.  But I do understand that it's difficult to change especially for old people.  They can come here any time they want.
