It is Sailing

It was the day that every body is waiting for. The ship is ready to cruise, the destination is already being set by the captain and the crews were all well briefed on each responsibility on that day. The weather on that 10th of October 2009, 7.30am was perfect. So let God bless our journey as we sail thru the wide and unpredictable roaring seas, with Holy Spirit as our anchor and Jesus himself as the great advisor.

I drove to the clinic around 8.00am to deliver the extra garden chairs for that function and then immediately drove back to Sri Ijah to pick up mom and sent her to the clinic. Mom fell down into the small drain 4 days ago while doing house chores and it made her foot was swollen and she had a minor surgery on her left toe. At his age, minor surgery is truly painful and troublesome. She couldn’t move nor walk with the help of the arm stick. So that morning she had another appointment with the doctor to remove the stitches and to redo her wound.

While she meets the doctor, I went back to fetch my dad and Pithui, get some drinking waters, put the ayam pansoh into the Naza and finally wore attire for that function. Pithui was smartly groomed and she was so excited too. Around 9.30am, I drove back to the clinic and fetch mom.

Meanwhile, at the clinic, Andy need to do a minor surgery to a dog that swallows 3 pieces of fish hooks. It was neither in the schedule nor plan but it is his duty to deal with the situation despite the whole preparations that need to be done for the grand opening. The balloons, ribbons, chairs and foods and beverages were all ready after 9.30am. All crew were at their bests. I arrived with mom, dad and Pithui around 10.00am. Just in time for the launching. I saw so many guests already aboard on the ship. They were as excited as us. Rev Father Trevor was also there chatting with his old mate. Well, everything was so nearly perfect including the weather.
