Don't be sad, mummy!

For the very first time, I saw my mother crying in front of my father, and me. In the midst of lunch, at a coffee shop. For her to do that, she must have been really sad. And really frustrated.

Her mind must be at the edge these past few days. Being here is not easy, not being welcomed is one thing, but being despised must have rattled her heart. And today's episode must have shattered the last bit of her of her strength to persevere.

I want to talk to her. Be kind to herself, not just to us. Be selfish enough to think of what she wants and do what she wants.

I must remember to control my temper to her too. Life's too short to have regrets, those unnecessary ones. She must not lose hope. She must remember we still support her. I still support her.

Don't be sad, mummy!

Missing in Action

My little brother is missing in action. I have not seen him online and he has not reply the email I dropped earlier this week. Wonder what he is up to.

Normally, whenever he needs to travel, he will inform my parents first. They have weekly standing appointment to chat over the internet, with both being at different ends of the world. So he will thus informed of his travel schedule, whenever he has them, so that my parents will not need to wait for the 'green' colour to appear on his profile.

I don't normally chat-talk with him,but we do chat once in a while, leaving messages to each other. I've been leaving messages to him, but have not got any reply yet. So wonder what is he up now.

I can either continue to leave him messages, or catch his wife for an update. She should have a better idea of his whereabouts, I hope.

All good things happen to those who wait, I hope!

I'm been trying very hard to contact the airline company which I purchased my return ticket to Krung Thep, for the whole day. I was of course, trying very hard using the cheap methods, ie, email, leaving messages on their wall and waiting, very patiently, for my turn in the live chat session. Apart from an acknowledgement of the message posted on their wall, I am still waiting for a real feedback from their customer care.

I could just have called them up, but I don't think I want to rake up so much in telephone bill charges. Yes, calling the sales office and talking to a customer care personnel might be a faster option. I did that once, somewhere about 2 years ago. My phone bill got bombed. At a rate of rm1.95 per minute, which I need to go through recorded answering system first before I can speak to a real customer care personnel, I don't think I want to repeat that, unless there is an absolute necessity.

Hence, my live chat session is now close to 6 hours, come another half an hour. I am still waiting for my turn, down to the 3rd in queue the last time I checked, from number 46th when I logged on. I really hope nothing funny will happen with it gets to my turn, like an error or no one's available because it's a public holiday here. Yes, I pray my turn will be fast and smooth.

I want to know if I need to swim in Krung Thep or grow fat in my historical city, next week. All good things happen to those who wait, they say. I have been patient. I hope I won't get disappointment. I am the 2nd in the queue now.
