called my parents’ home today around 7pm to inform kakak that i’d be late. this was after forgetting my normal call home just before lunch time and a failed attempt to call home @ 6pm++ as my dear brother forgot to unplug the phone line from the modem after using the ‘Net

me: hi kakak, what were you doing just now?

kakak: maaa… kakak sleeping la!

me: (aik? tgh sleep but then can talk?) kenapa? kakak tired sangat ke at school tadi?

kakak: noOoOoo.. you’re very late to come pick me up so kakak feels very sleepyyyyy ….! why are you so late? how much longer til mama comes back?!

terus cancel plan nak stay back .. packed up my stuff and headed home to arrive at the promised time of 7:30pm. and i paid $1.50 at elevated highway supposedly to cut down on travel time – just to be stuck prior to and after the toll collection for no apparent reason?! but then again, if i’d follow the normal roads – it may have been worse.. must be grateful of small blessings!

arrived as promised – by 7:30pm – but was already greeted by the sight of kakak asleep on the sofa whilst waiting for my return.. and anaqi was his usual hyper-self . until he got his much awaited feed and promptly dozed off too!

but now it’s 10:40pm and kakak is wide awake. how to convince her it’s bedtime..
