While I'm Gone

Barely 2 days after Tebby came back from his Europe trip, I left for Langkawi at 10.20 this morning. I am now enjoying free wifi from my hotel room in Langkawi Seaview. Tho the signal is poor, surprisingly, the speed is good.

Anyway.

Like any other mothers out there, I am in charge of many administrative things in the household. Especially when it comes to the children. Kain baju, nursery bag, school bag, bekal and whatnots. I have 3 kids, 8, 5 and 10 months. Since they're separated by at least 3 years between one another (age-wise), they have different needs. Example, I can't feed Adam with what I'm feeding Iman right. The list goes on.

And don't get me wrong. En Tebby is a fine not-so-young man. He helps around but there's still things that we, mothers do best.

So, before I left, I have a list of things to do. The house needed to be in-order as much as possible. In short I slept at about 2.00am and woke up at 5.00am. I manage to do all the things listed.


And sort out of what-to-wear and what-to-bring ...
And even drew a diagram of the kids' closet.
However, at 10.00pm, I got a distress call from Tebby. Kakak, dengan niat suci murni, wanting to be helpful while I'm gone, put away the clothes I prepared as in photo above, and being only 8, had things jumbled-up. I heard Tebby panicking. When all things sorted out, tergelak pulak kami. People raised eye-brows when I mentioned about seluar dalam, baju dalam, telur goreng, susu 4 kotak.

It was really a distress call.
He asked how many susu kotak for Iman each day.
I said 4.
He said only 1 pack left, not enough.
I said, 1 pack has 6 kotaks in it, so we have 2 more left.
He said, oh.
Perplexed with his own miscalculation.

Well, at least in one aspect, I know he needs me..
