Back from Down Under

Yup..back to work. Same ol' routine..had a meeting just now on one of the software license issue which I was called on an impromptu notice. Practically blabbed my way through in front of all the vendors and management. I practically had not much knowledge on the subject..but funny how people listen just because I'm supposed to be the person who knows.

Well..my back still aches. Aching from spending 5 hours in an economy seat, handling two erratic children who constantly in need to 'release' themselves in the impossibly small area they call 'lavatory' and forever bending down to pick stuff that Isya kept throwing everywhere, much to the annoyance all the other passengers.

It was a short trip..a very short trip. Just 2 nights in Perth but enough to realise that we still needed loads and loads of cash to survive. Note: to survive..not to splurge and spend.

A simple kebab by the road-side costed us AU$8.00 each! A short trip on the cab was AU$7.00. And a packet of ciggies was selling at AU$12.00 per pack!

Shopping was definitely a luxury. So we opted to rent a car and went off to Caversham Wildlife Park. Isya went quite feverish with a bad cough that day and Opi was rather moody. He kept on insisting "takde apa pun kat sini..baik Opi ikut Pak Jim pegi Penang". But thank God for the jumping kangaroos! Isya was busy imitating the kangaroos that her fever went away and Opi became fascinated with the wombats...and momentarily forgot about Penang.

So many stories to tell...Isya is too small to remember all the details but I hope all the photos we took will tell.

theres a pro and a cont during your short trip. You must have a deep and abiding desire to comunicate and transfer your feeling to your kids, included your hubby. Don't be always in the rut, but u'll always be there if u don't use ur ability to gets thing done

its me again...., regardless what u're doing. maybe.., sometimes it'll be baffling to your kids as what you saw( 25 years back) on the cinema, a man with the golden gun, battle of the midway, a spy who love me, jaws and so on. On that day, ur guardian feel the same as u now.but... now, the guardian has became a Pharmacy. u got what I mean!
