Tomorrow, will exactly be 2 months since we came back home for 'good' from Japan! Cepatnyer kan masa berlalu! For the past 2 months, it had been a very, very busy time. First, after mama came to visit us for the second time in Japan, we had 7 other visitors that came for a week...My aunt and her son, and Oee, my brother. Next it was Nizam's 3 best friends that came over. Matad, Wafi and Pakcik. Wafi brought his wife, Suria along, and Pakcik, brought his mother over. So after another week of hosting session, it was time for us to pack, clean and scrub the entire house!
The Toyota Smile Life personnel came to check the house twice...to see if everything was in order before and after we cleaned the house. Apart from Umair's little scribble on the wall, (which we had to pay 1500yen=RM50 for that), lucky there wasn't any other major damage that we had to pay for! Itu pun, it was his first scribble on the wall when he was 10months old!
After that, it was cargo pick up, both for sea and air...pack punyer pack, tengok2 tak cukup ruang...there was a 4 boxes=50kg excess plak tu! Geram i! bukan apa tau, actually they didn't fill in the empty spaces properly..,the drawers in the box was left empty! Itu dah berapa dah! and then when they filled in the cargo van, some of their things were taking our space and then cakap that we didn't have enough room dah! But i really thought that the way they do the packing was like nak cepat2 habis tau, and not like to maximise the space utilisation at all! I remember our upstairs Argentina neighbour said theirs was underestimated as well, and then on the pick up day, they actually had an excess, but they insisted to bring back every thing to Argentina...and Nippon Express didn't charge them anything for that! Anyway, we didn't want to fight over it with them, instead we decided to post them through sea mail. That worked out just fine with us, as the post office was just round the corner from our house.
The next day, we were transferred to Toyota Castle Hotel in Toyota Shi, where we stayed for 3 days before our flight home to Malaysia.
On the evening of 26th June '09, we arrived home safely after 2 years of a very colourfull Japanese experience of which we will never forget..!
As soon as we came out from the arrival hall, Mama and Oee was already waiting for us with their smiling faces! The good news was that they had recieved the keys to our new house just an hour before coming to fetch us! We were really elated of course! Tiba tiba tak rasa penat pun after travelling the whole day! Anyway, as it was already late, we decided to go to the house on the next day...sampai-sampai tu, we just went for dinner and straight to bed!
