The Day My Mascara Gone Before Reaching Office

My heart sank tis morning listening to the Fly.fm while driving to office...

You see.. to those who don't know, Fly.fm got tis program 'Fix It' where people call the radio to share their problem and Phat Fab and Ruben (the DJ) will try to fix it... all kind of problems.. gaduh wit housemate laa, masalah gemuk laa, kena marah boss la... u get the picture.

But today is different. A mother called up and her problem is her daughter, Lina. U see, Lina is 9 year old and just lost her father 3 months ago. Eversince, she's been very upset and always angry with her mom.

The mom didn't know that dat all this while, Lina and her father always go out spent time together like go to the park and drink teh tarik and stuff. The father was her was bestest friend. How the mother didn't realized this is somewat puzzling me, must be one very 'busy' woman. Anyway, the father made many promises to Lina like bringing the family pegi holiday laa etc etc. And then the father died of heart attack recently at the age of 42.

Since then Lina is constantly acting up at home, especially towards the little sis and mom. Mom couldn't handle the situation and the stress level, so the family went to a psychiatric . Still, Lina is angry. She must be desperate to share her problem over the national radio, but I don't mind listening to tis one coz it's so touching....

Lina have a very cute voice, but very articulate for a 9 year old.

Wen Ruben (the DJ) asked why she's upset with mummy, she said mummy is so busy wit work and she always get scolded by her even if it was her lil' sister yang buat salah. And she told him "I have so many frens at school but in my heart I have none". Tis is where i started crying...

She would love it if mummy can bring her to USA for the school holiday.

Then the mother, listening to the whole conversation at the other side interject...

"But how can we afford to go to US, sayang?"

"But abah promise?"

"Yeah, but things are different now, u know dat rite?"

The rest of the conversation become blurr coz I was busy crying and reaching for the tissue.

We know dat now the family having only single income, it's harder (maybe) impossible to fulfill those promises made by the father.

But, how can you make a 9 year old understand that?

I countinued crying until I reached the office.

Itu laa... my mom said jangan ketawa banyak sangat, nanti nangis...

True enuff, I've been having too much fun (and laughter) this week. U see, my chabie is away on 1 week course so to avoid feeling lonely and emotional I filled my days goin out and shopping. Yesterday itself, while someone was supposed to be on-duty at Parliament and the other one supposed to be in a meeting... they went mall hopping instead rushing for Coach sales!

Pavillion->The Garden->KLCC

Waiting in line in anticipation...

Muka mereka-mereka yang excited!

Muka bahagia....

And on a happy note, I give birth to these lil' babies....

Grow my baby, grow!

I'm taking my veggiemania into another level by planting my own... A bit disorganize tho cos now I dunno which one is tomato, sawi, or cili... main baling ja.

Happy weekends everyone!
