Of leaving the nest....

Another of our daughter left home to continue her studies yesterday. The location is not that far but it reminds both of us on how time flies (very fast indeed!) as we're approaching our golden years. Alhamdulillah, everything went as planned when we left her at her lodging (for the next one year!). The univ bus was already waiting to take the freshies back to campus to start their orientation week (or Ta'aruf Week as it is called nowadays).
Two weeks before were hectic especially for me. Scouted for pink cloth for her freshie's 'uniform'. Went to Nilai Square and purchased the materials. Not wanting to have both from the same material, we bought two types of cloth. Two mini jubahs were made by our long time tailor in Taman Tenaga, Kak Liah. Alhamdulillah, she agreed to make them.
A medical examination was also part of the requirement. We went to have her x-ray taken and other tests taken at Pusat Rawatan An- Nur, BBBangi. The nurses there donned surgical masks in preparation for any N1H1 eventualities. Good move indeed! Better be prepared then sorry...
Next, the LHDN at Hentian Kajang, Jalan Reko, to get 'setem duti' stamped on one of her forms. Paid RM10 per form, whereby we've three forms to be stamped! The process was ok, needed to feel a form, took a Q-number and waited for the forms to be handed back at one of the counters.
