My daughter left home yesterday on the 11.55 a.m. MAS flight from Sibu to KLIA. Upon arrival just before 2.00 p.m., to her horror, her 3.30 p.m. flight to Penang had been cancelled and thankfully, they were able to put her on the 5.10 p.m. one instead. The only consolation was she was given a lunch voucher, so she had her favourite Swiss Cheese Mushroom burger at Burger King. She arrived safely in Penang at around 6 p.m. and was in the good hands of my dear friend, Eng and his family. She spent the night at his place in Bukit Mertajam and he’ll send her to Sungai Petani this morning. Gosh! I wish she had been given a place in an institute in KL or much nearer to Sibu. Sigh!
This photo was taken prior to her departure at Sibu airport…
…and as you can see, it did not seem like she had put on much weight since she came back in mid-November…
…despite the eating sprees that we had had.
Ah well! Just don’t say we did not feed her! LOL!! On New Year’s Eve, for instance, her mother fried some crabs for dinner…
…and baked some chicken wings with lots of cheese…
…and around Christmas time, she cooked some chicken curry…
and I also cooked a lot of her favourite dishes as well, plus we did get to eat out a lot to enjoy all the things that she loved.
Now, it is back to the old routine…and to close this post, these lines from the lyrics of Beverley Craven’s “Promise Me” somehow keep ringing in my ears:
…When I go away I’ll miss you
And I will be thinking of you
Every night and day just …
Promise me you’ll wait for me
‘cos I’ll be saving all my love for you
And I will be home soon
Promise me you’ll wait for me
I need to know you feel the same way too
And I’ll be home, I’ll be home soon…
...STILL CRAZY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS!
