That's what I asked my son. Third week of school only. Seems like I've been back from the sch. hols for so long. Or rather the holidays just didn't come. Its like 2006 just continues into 2007 without a break. Been meeting with loads of deadlines.
I was away for a 2 day course on PDS. It was such a long tiring 2 days-. 9-5 mind you. So mentally exhausting. Came back on Friday. The kitchen aide was supposed to start today. She called early in the morning to say that she wont be coming cos she fell in the toilet. URGH. For real or not or you just think that the work is too much. But only kitchen aide. Clean kitchen like you do at home. Whatever...Then the kitchen also problem..
So Friday was a long day. Supposed to have meeting with the DT ple then the Art ple. But Art meeting cancelled. But still got to make appt. with Veron. That stretches till 3. Then also got Sec 1 campfire. But today is Awal Muharram. I would rather sambut my akhir tahun dan awal tahun which to me lebih bererti daripada terpekik pekik campfire's burning..campfire's burning...Akhir akhirnya siapa yang terbakar pun tahu. Aniwaes.. today is also arwah Fadzali 100 hari. So we have tahlil also. All these at Tampines.
Then before all these I have to collect my new passport from Kallang. My 10 year old passport still has my old photo... without the tudong and everytime I travel the immigration officer will exchange glances between the passport and my face...not once not twice... so leche. So change is good. Lucky my hubby took half day leave so that he can drive me there. Maybe he's worried another incident about a bus ride would happen to his wife again.
I tell you what happen that day. Was supposed to go for a course at Alson hotel near Bras Basah. Must be there by 9am, So I left home at 7.55 thought that I would take a train to Raffles Place then walk abit. But somehow I decide that there must be a direct bus from JE interchange. So took 51 cos the bus inspector said that boleh sampai. I pass by West Coast, Pasir Panjang, then Alexendra Road, Queensway then Queens Close..kampung lama. OMG and that was already 1 hour gone. When the bus turns into Queenstown after Queensway Sec I got down. Cannot take it already. Flag a cab the arrive in half an hour late. I was so frustrated with myself. So angry with my own stupid decision. I cannot take it. Immediately in the cab naturally I just broke down. The cab driver must be wondering what happen to this woman. When Linda SMS asking if I'm lost I cld only say YES. When I finally told her wt happen, she laugh then says dont cry ok. Stress ..
Ok so I didn't go for the campfire and just like I also didn't drop by at the camp. Of course my name will not be published under accolades. Yeah such a big deal.
But alhamdulillah I got to Tampines, got to see Amir and his sisters and after that I went back to Pasir Ris Ustad's house to help with the preparations for Abdil's engagement on Saturday. I enjoy my company with these group. My kumpulan Menaqib. Whilst doing the gubahan, they recall the time that we had Kak Sapiah's engagement function to attend. They asked me to carry a tray of stuff made up of snacks like prawn crackers etc etc.. While walking down at the void deck, suddenly the whole thing drop off from my hand. Seriously on my part I panicked. Barang orang seh. Luckily only snacks. But the tray very flimsy.They were all laughing at me.Then on arrrival while walking up the stairs the whole dulang fall again. Bising nye mak ai.So that night they were laughing at me again.
I'm sure whenever there's a function like this, this same story will come up again.
Went home late. Ustad asked me to sleep there and help. Wah scary nye. No. Of course not. Reached home after midnight. Kids all sleeping already.
Saturday another long day.
