Travelling Alone

After so many years of not travelling alone, I find myself having to do so recently. I didn't like the idea but with an advice fr a fren, (Thank you so much my fren) I know I just have to go through it & it wouldn't be that bad ....

Sunday :-
The bus was suppose to come at 10.00 am .... it came at 10.40 am. And I thot they got over this problem years ago ...... tak reti-reti lagi nak ikut schedule
I also thot that this bus was supposed to go direct Pekan to KL but it went to Kuantan first, to get more passengers. Finally at 11.50am, barulah betul-betul bertolak ke KL
Arrived in KL at 4.00pm, my niece came to pick me up. I could have taken a taxi or bus to my mom's but nope .... my niece insisted she'll pick me up.
When I reached my mom's place, everyone started bombarding me with the "why" question, why are you here, why are you alone etc...etc...etc. Hemm.....
I guess because I'm the smallest of the 4, everyone was extra protective.... all the "what if"s
seemed to be dancing in their brains. The KL horror story kind of "what if"s
But clearly, everyone were excited that I came home alone ...... HeHeHe

Monday :-
My two elder sisters accompanied me to Wisma SSP as my moral supporters. As it turned out the test was Ok. I was given an article and I was supposed to translate it into Malay.
Ok ..Ok .... it was easy. I just don't want to put my hopes high in the sky because I still may not get the job. I am praying hard for it though, so hard like "pliz, pliz, pliz , my life is on the line here."
Err ... ok my life is not on the line but it sure feels like it.
I had a bad headache so my sister treated me to reflexology. Lega sikit .... tapi sikit je la
Of course I didn't tell her that ... kang dia bawak pergi hospital lak kang
Malamnya pergi Jayajusco to find something for Aisyah & Zahra

Tuesday :-
Since we didn't really get to talk much, my mom decided to come along when my sister sent me to the bus station in Puduraya. Bus was supposed to leave KL at 11.00 am, it left at 11.15
Bila sampai di Pekan, I called my mom to tell her, "Ina dah sampai" tapi emak tak sihat ..... I knew she shouldn't be there with all those dust & jalan jauh pulak tu.
Called my sister & told her Mak tak sihat. She said she had reduced her speed 85%, takut emak semput.
But a mother is a mother, it does not matter how old you are ... she wants to be there for you, no matter what. You may be 40, to her you're still 4

Aisyah :-
On Sunday, she called me every one hour since I got on the bus in Pekan til she went to sleep at 10.00 pm. Sometimes, tak sampai satu jam pun dia dah telefon balik.
On Monday, she called me every hour fr the time she came home fr KPAFA, again til she went to sleep. In fact on both nites, I had to talk to her on the phone as she fell asleep.
On Tuesday, she called me when she came back fr sch to check " Ibu kat mana sekarang ??"
So when she came back fr KPAFA, she might as well be flying, tak sabar-sabar nak turun dari kereta utk dapatkan ibu.

Zahra :-
The times she called me were to say, " Ibu, Aisyah nangis" so I had to remind her of her role as elder sister. Tolong pujuk Aisyah, tolong jaga Aisyah & tolong peluk Aisyah.
She didn't like the latter. She does not like to be hug by anyone else but me and she does not like hugging anyone else but me. Lucky me, right ???
I even have the sole right to read her diary. HeHeHe

My other children :- Hajar & Sulaiman didn't know about the trip. Shuib called me just before I left, though he did not say it, it was like he was afraid I wud be leaving for good. I assured him I'd be coming back on Tuesday. :-)

O' Allah who knows me best , who understands me .... who knows my future
and what it brings ... please bless us with the best for this world and the hereafter.
If this job only brings me the best in this world but not in the hereafter then I do not want it.
Ya Allah lindungilah aku dan sahabatku serta kurniakanlah kami taufik dan hidayah
agar kami sentiasa berada di dalam naungan cahaya Mu. Amin
