We had a nice dinner with some friends last night at a Thai Restaurant. I think the dish that Jim and I had contained a little MSG. I need to get a note card with "I cannot consume any MSG" in English, Malay and Chinese. Maybe that would get the point across.
We slept in today and had a late breakfast at our favorite diner, Marilyn's. Marilyn's is named after the actor "Marilyn Monroe", which I think is hilarious! It is almost all western food. I eat there often enough that the ladies know me.
We then went out to see the kitties. They are doing fine. Coco is still getting hot, even though I have trimmed him back some. I trim him a little each day. He really does not enjoy all the grooming. Monday will be two weeks that they have been in quarantine. Two more weeks to go..... We saw some monkeys on the side of the road today, just monkeying around. The workmen throw their trash on the side of the road, and the monkeys open it up and eat what they can and throw the rest on the roadside to blow around the road. We saw a couple of hornbills flying around, but could not get a photo of them.
I took Jim by a house that I looked at the other day that is on the open market. Now, I am trying to convince Jim that we should take this house instead of waiting for 4-6 months for Shell to assign us a permanent house. I hate playing the dance around political game. I just want to move one time. Shell has assigned us a temporary house, but of course it is not ready yet. Usually, it takes about 2-3 weeks for them to get the house ready. Then, after we move into the temporary house, a month or so later, they will assign us a permanent house. The problem is that we don't have any idea of what that will be. This is the game that they play with new arrivals. Whee!
We received our air shipment last night just before we left to go out. Jim has worked at getting his desktop computer set up today. Our bikes were also in the air shipment, which Jim will get to reassemble tomorrow.
