Absent-minded

I had to deliver a handphone from my nephew to his son, ie. my grandnephew, in KL. Of course, it was also an opportunity to jam with my friends.

Months ago, I told them, what is most urgently needed is simply a bass guitar. Yet, after a purchase of a new electric guitar (not bass) and a bass amplifier, I had to bring my own bass guitar! Because of this additional item, and because I had to put out the clothes to dry, I forgot about my overnight bag! I did not realise till I was about to reach Tapah! No way I was going to turn back.

Anyway, it was quite a good session as my friend's brother was around to play the drums and sing. I had a shower in another friend's place and put up with a brother so that we could catch up on news.

Just imagine, after so many days, just because he sent me a message and my phone got lost in KLIA, with no news from me, he thought I was still in UK!

Anyway, I meant to remind our youngsters about the modern amenities which they have taken for granted. BH sent me some interesting facts and one of them was this:

In olden days, baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the house had the privilege of the nice clean water, then all the other sons and men, then the women and finally the children. Last of all the babies. By then the water was so dirty you could actually lose someone in it. Hence the saying, "Don't throw the baby out with the bath water".

With this in mind, what is going to KL without overnight bag?
