Short Trip to Batu Pahat

It was about eight months ago that my wife and I took my MIL for a short driving tour to a few towns in Johor, Seremban and Malacca (Read here). Though aged 92, she was then able to move around unaided.

In early January 2025, news came that my MIL had a fall and broke her hip bone. To facilitate better care and recovery, she was checked into a Care Home soon after.

We flew to JB on 16.02.2025 and proceeded to BP and spent the next five days visiting and spending time with her. She was indeed very pleased to see us.

Her best time was probably to be massaged by her favourite masseuse who happens to be my wife!

Aroma Cafe soon after visiting my MIL.
Joined by my wife's cousin Meng Kwong.
Another surprise during our short stay in BP was meeting my BIL, his wife and my SIL. They came all the way from KL for a 2D1N stay in BP. I guess our presence in BP gave them an incentive to make this special trip.

There was concern whether she is able to sit up again. That day came sooner than we expected. On 01.03.2025, news came that she was able to sit up again. 

My MIL is indeed a strong oldest-old ( a new term given to people aged over 85 years old), a cancer survivor and a widow of 10 years after her husband passed away in February 2015 (Read here).
