rambles

and so adding on to the brother dilemma, i found out that my brother's makjan is not a makjan but a single mother instead. and her 6 years old daughter has down syndrome. i had to raise the red flag and do what any sensible sisters have to do when their brothers are approaching dangerous waters.. Rat to my parents.

my parents had a long talk with him and simplified the matter. in my mother's own words, "you are NOT fit to take care of the girl and her sick daughter. you, yourself are sick. your 'supposed gf' deserved someone better than you."

instead of saying that my brother deserves someone better, my mom's approach that the girl deserves someone better seemed to be more magnanimous and diplomatic. i think he sees her point. i dont know whats his decision is going to be but my parents are convinced that he sees what they were trying to convey.

went seoul gardening for dinner last night with the actors and their other halves. as it was a monday, there were not many patrons. we ate tonnes of food and stuffed ourselves silly that we had difficulty walking to the car afterwards.

went to simpang to wash down the food with hot tea. its been ages since abg sani and marliah joined the writer, actor and me on our makan outings so it was good catching up. and as usual, we have our merepek conversations. one of them was the usage of the words "chey deh bah!" and "yo yok oh!" we had fun laughing about how silly they sound and yet they have meanings. and none of us were sure of the right spelling. and i am sure no one has attempted to use these slang into their karangan before. kecoh kan if someone actually did!

came back passed 12 and my father was still awake, waiting for me. got nagged for abit and after that managed to talk to the husband who just returned from a work trip from sabah. he's coming down this weekend again as he has no work and there are a few weddings we were invited to. that would be a welcoming treat.

its the start of the holidays. still have to drag my feet to work but at least theres no more lessons. trying to clear my desk and prepare lessons for my substitute to take over me when school reopen. there isnt much time left and pretty soon i need to push panic buttons. and i always procrastinate.

ok. need to run a few errands. i still feel full from last night's dinner.
