my mil will be performing her haj solo this year. she is scheduled to fly off on the 26th of nov. her majlis doa selamat is this weekend in kl on a sunday.
i had purchased return tickets on aeroline, departing on fri and returning on monday morning. wanted to either call in sick on monday or take child care leave. abdullah is going to come with me.
but now everything changes. i received a phonecall just now from m/o/e's teacher work attachment unit informing me that my application for an attachment job during the holidays with apple (the computer technology giant) has been approved! big hooray hooray! for the longest time ever i wanted to go on a TWA but time does not permit or the jobs on offer were not that interesting. this apple job is amayzing because they will be teaching a bunch of teachers how to use their stuff and in turn, we are posted to their orchard-wheelock outlet and be salesperson!! how interesting is that?
for starters, i wanted to learn how to use some of their softwares and use them in classroom context. had the longest dream ever to make instructional videos and editing them using apple technology.. something like cool cooking shows or food experiments demonstrations. best kan? and it would be a wonderful experience to get a chance to work in the service industry!! (i remembered my borders bistro days where serving people 12 hours straight a day and yet still grinning at the end of the day was one of the highlights while i was then 18 years old!)
and so, i start my attachment on monday. i am so looking forward to doing this attachment. gives me a fresh perspective of teaching when i come back to a new term next year. it helps heaps that my yoga place is just a spit away from wheelock. yoga during lunch is so yuppies-lifestyle. LOL!
and so.. my dilemma begins after i ended the phonecall. mil's majlis or TWA? but its not as if i could turn down TWA cuz it has been finalised and afterall m/o/e had approved my application. tried to change my bus ticket back to sunday night but everything has been sold. hmm..
i wonder how pissed my mil will be if i cancel on the weekend trip up. i doubt husband would be in the mood to drive me back after the event. and why sunday? maybe i should get mil to pay my shuttle ticket back on sq?
lol! i have less than one day to decide if i want to come up or not.

umm, balik on sunday night la.. afterall, it's yr MIL. you wdn't want to make her feel less impt than ur job or something. Get yr hubby to sponsor yr plane ticket back to SG? Sungguh tai-tai or MTV VJ, fly here and there, hehehe.
But then my advice might not be good, because I'm at the stage where I'm still trying to impress my future inlaws, so yeah. Heheh =)
