Time Sure Flies

Fooohh is it Monday already? Oh wow, oh wow!
Aliya had a hard time waking up and Ayisha & Adani, I had to physically piggyback them into the shower. Hope things are better later today. I think we all had a good break this term break. Lotsa trips away from home to faraway places too, with cousins they adore to bicker with.
Yesterday we were at my parents and there were altogether 13 cucu-s of Cikgu Samat & Cikgu Saayah in the house. Foohh! Ramai sungguh and they all get on with one another, at least for a short time before one comes crying with "Annissa tak nak kawan Adani", "Firdaus tunbuk Irfan" or "Arissa pijak tangan Ariz". Ish ish ish!
Anyway we had a feast yesterday cos my mother is accompanying my youngest sis, Eni, to Canberra, Oz-land for 2 weeks on a work-attachment. Eni's taking her only still-nursing son, Hadif along so Mak is the official baby sitter and cook and whatever else that comes inbetween. She's not complaining though. Ha ha! It's just that my father refused to go and now will be left in a house with my brother-in-law. Two grown men in a house by themselves. So, it's definilte men bonding time, at the warung outside. Needless to say, the kicthen ain't smoking for the next 2 weeks. Hence, the feast to clear the freezer.
Anyways. We stopped over at a kedai jual minyak yesterday to fill up the almost empty Wish's tank. And MrGart had a shock and had to stop at RM102.50 about 38 litres, when the tank's not even full yet. Dang! It's gone that far and that much. We shuddered just hinking about it.
Today, we wrote cheques for the Ad-Daris, Adani's kindy, Kum0n, van fares and I hope that next month we won't be writing bigger numbers. But I think for the school van operators, it won't be fair for them to absorb the additional costs but they should increase the fares just enough, and not too much.
Ah well! The signs of modern times then. We are rationing the electricity these days. I bought cheaper and less brand-er stuff for the house like the T-OP detergent for the front loader washing machines than my usual Pers1l.
Was talking to MrGart and it's realy scary when we, the so-called middle class society feel the pinch of the rising costs, what would the lower incomed society feel then? It's really very very scary to think how people would manage on a RM1500 salary with 5 school-going kids. I hope respite could come soon enough for those in need. Insyallah.
Adani at her school's sports day. ORANGE House was all dressed in butterfly costumes. Cute! Though her hair could do with some 'care'!
