I broke the news to the kids yesterday that I was going to ‘kerja jauh’ for 3 days starting today. Afiq was concerned about the fact that I was going to be away for three days. “THREEEEEE days, Mama? Lamaaaa nya! Kenapa kena pegi kerja jauh2? Kat ofis Mama tak boleh buat kerja ke?”

Mariessa, well.. terbeliak mata dia when I told them I was going to Kuching. Cepat2 saya tambah, Kuching tu nama tempat. For the record, I am terrified of cats. Teramat-amat! Nampak kucing, dada saya ni berdebar debarrrrrrrrr je rasa. No joke. Siapa je yang tak tau pasal takutnya saya pada kucing.

After a few minutes of silence…

Mariessa: Mama, bila Mama sampai kat Kuching nanti, Mama buat macam ni tau….Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (sambil buat badan gaya Incredible Hulk!). Nanti kucing semuaaaaaaa lari. Mama jangan takut k?

Tak cukup nafas saya gelak malam tadi!

So….. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!
