Ely is back

...for now.

Its Thursday and I think I have missed my blog friends enough to start blogging again.

I am still not over my beloved cat, Taco. I still feel guilty for not being able to care for him as I had promised him 3 years back. He will still be in my heart and I know that he is in a better place.

Yes, a whole month is almost gone. My parents are going back tomorrow night. And YES, it’s the emotional 24 hour period again. I feel guilty for living far away from my parents and taking the kids away from them. And I feel so sad…that I won't see them for at least another 6 months or so. Mak says that she will try to come here again in December. I don’t want to get too excited yet. But for sure, Ely will balik kampung next summer.

Work is crazy as usual, boss flew to the gulf last night. Dapat jugak berbual dengan dia before he flew off. Hopefully he will come back to work in December as promised. Then working life can go on as usual. In the time being, I will have to endure my 'lovely' lady Assistant Managers yang kekadang aku rasa aku lebih mengetahui perihal ofis ini dari mereka.

The kids have been successfully transferred to a better school in the School District. It was good news to us but bad news to them as they're going to miss their friends and start making friends all over again. But I can promise them that they will be much happier in the new schools. Better environment, happy spirits.

School starts in less than 14 days. Matt will be in 8th grade and Mas in 6th. Yes, they have grown. Since they don’t wear uniforms to school, clothes shopping is another chore that we dread besides food shopping.

That’s it for now. Our last supper with mak and bapak will be at the Thai Restaurant. Ely will be a total wreck again tomorrow. Cos she has to hand her parents back to her sister and nieces who're on the other side of the world…waaaahhhh!!!

*like my new song?
