My Little Girl has Grown Up

'Ma, cousin Su said we have to wear red to cousin Ji's wedding in March. Red is the theme colour.. so all cousins must wear red for the occasion.' Adik sounded a little worried over the phone cause she has already spent quite a bit on CNY clothes, put aside money for lodging, petrol subsidy and angpow for the grams. Without a decent red dress to her name means some more spending !

Alas ! I was putting the last touches to the the red dress that I bought over the weekend which needed a little adjustment. Hmmm, isn't that God willing? Adik happily accepted the offer....

' Ma, I have just transferred RM.. in your account, do go for a movie and eat out with dy. Enjoy yourselves, ok ? A pleasant boost to my blue mood ! It is not the money that counts.. Just a while ago, over the phone, I told Adik whether one has 10 children or 2 children, at the end, one ended up with only the spouse or alone !

This thought cropped up after hubby commented that his widowed elder brother is so lonely. He is down with bad case of hernia/angin pasang. All his 6 children are either working or staying on their own. Being an outdoor man, life must be difficult.

So as usual, Adik is the one I turn to for her ears. I told her, I'm preparing myself for the eventuality, being alone, if God willed it. I always pray that God will grant me the health to be independent till the end....... ...Ameen. I also told Adik that her dy is not only feeling sorry for his Abang Long but very much saddened by the passing on of his younger brother last month. It has not been easy on him...

Thank you dearly ,sayang, for trying to cheer us up. God bless you. Ameen.

'Ma, Abang has not messaged me his flight itinerary and has not responded to my sms as well as message through facebook and he expected me to fetch him and his family from the airport! All I know is Jetstar flying in from Singapore will land in KLIA.'

Poor girl, expected to do the brother a service without proper information is tough on her busy schedule today! She has an on-line meeting with an associate around 10 am. She has postponed that meeting before so no can do this time. I told her if I remember it right ,their arrival is around 1 pm, So My suggestion to her is either she be there after her 2 hours meeting, prepared to wait around or leave them to take the RM 80++ teksi!!

'Never mind, I'll try to cut short the meeting and be there. Abang sure pokai already ! Some more got to pay that much...wasting money! '

Told her to ring me when she reaches KLIA. God bless my sayang. Ameen
