Semi-Hectic Farewells For The Weekend
It is Monday and I still live (Thank God). Had to say farewell to a few people this time:
- Raqib - Left on Sunday. No wisecracks for a long while
- Silas - My bro and best bud. Left on Friday morning.
- Papa - Left for Johor for three days on Sunday evening.
- KK & Grace - Leaving tomorrow for Down Under. Possibly never to return.
Juggling KK & Grace’s farewell dinners with suppers with Kib has been pretty taxing on the stamina and the wallet, but it was worth it.
Sunday was the crowning event in the Marathon of Entertaining Exhaustion. I promised one of my boys, Amos, a treat at Crepe Cottage to crepes, fruit and ice-cream for this Sunday. He brought his best buddy Jon Yeoh, and a young hyperactive fellow, Nick, who decided to just follow along (You would too if you had to choose between following big bro vs. following ma shopping for heels and designer wear). UNFORTUNATELY, Nick didn’t BOTHER to ask his mother for food money. Yours truly had to lend him RM10 and told him that this would be the last time we help him out. And so, dealing with the wrestling/pranking duo (Nick vs. Amos) while dealing with the best buddy, Jon, who was going through an emotional experience while waiting for our dessert at Crepe Cottage was quite a trying experience. (We got there at 7.45. We left at 9.30).
Thank God Ma has declared tonight Pizza night!
