The night before Raya.
This year me and hubby decided to celebrate in Kelana Jaya during the first day of Raya. Hence, we stayed overnight the night before Raya at K.J. Normal custom, there will be lots of cooking (as my mom believe in cooking rather than buying). It’s just her but knowing that she’s not as young as before, we had to give a helping hand.
I had to work on Friday as I have shifted my leave on Thursday and Friday to the following week. That’s when my hubby told me at the last minute of his plan. By lunch hour at the office, all the muslim has left the office as well as the rest! What else, I am not going you stay alone here. But this is what I hate most, whenever I will be on long leave (this time it will be a one long week, a breaking record by me), the work suddenly comes non-stop! Ohhh nooo….please why didn’t this urgent work comes long before. It just came right before I leave. The worse part is all of a sudden, I receive a call from my hubby asking to exchange our cars as he plans to bring his car (which I am currently using) for polish and wash in Mid Valley. Now this has taken 15 minutes of my working time to drive the car out! I desperately need time at this juncture. As a preliminary solution, I send an email to my staff telling them exactly what they require to do while I am away. I am glad I have this new girl who joined the team last month. Well anyway, they could call me anytime in case they are stuck with it.
Soon after settling all the outstanding works, I had to bring three big stuff (my new laptop Dell 1420 and two hampers) from my room to my car. Tell me about it. And at the same time, I had to rush to the bank to change the notes as “angpow” gift.
I reached my parents house at about 1.30pm and noticed that my mom had made the major preparation like marinate the beef for satay, kuah kacang and all the ingredients for the nasi minyak. My task was to cut the cucumber and carrot for the acar. One thing for sure, I will always feel sleepy or tired when I am at my parents. Hehehe…. I guess I knew that there will sufficient assistance from my sis and the maid. I was yawning all the time. Hmmm…what else did I help? Yeah …. Setting up my new laptop! Hahaha….
Later that night, I didn’t help so much as I had to go home to pack all my clothes for the one week stay in Kelantan, my hubby’s hometown. Yaikss… I am still wondering what I should I do there during that long week.
