Just what I am looking for!!
I had a really really challenging day today.. It all started with my youngest daughter throw up at 1 am this morning and I have to clean up, change the bed sheet etc… then at 5 am Adilah (my eldest) work us up with rashes all over her body… and she was scratching like a monkey! Adlina, my second, refused to wake up for her school after a week school break.
Reach the University late today, I had to drive around looking for parking. Then there was an argument in the morning class… a friend confronted the lecturer, talking about how disorganized he has been…and so we had a very tensed class!
Then come lunch time and I am tired…and hungry and my phone rang… an auntie is asking for help, to book a flight for her son – as if I own MAS! But again, no problem, I tried to help. After asking clarification on when the date is, how many passengers etc, I’ve up a booking complete with arrangement for wheel chair as my cousin is injured after an accident.
And guess what? They gave me wrong info… they want a flight this evening!! What do I get – “bla bla bla… can you get the booking changed?”… and that is when my phone give me the “BATTERY WEAK SIGNAL”… so I had no choice but to rush the conversation – asking them instead to make the changes… and then pop… my phone just died…
I was looking for phone booth and found one, and managed to call them back, and then I run out of coins, and no shop is selling phone cards anymore… I just had it… I knew my auntie is going to blow off any time soon… I had my Zohor prayer, and I tried to look for any friends who will lend me a phone… Kak Sha, you’re a life saver!
By the way, using Kak Sha’s phone, I managed to get through… but my auntie as expected, refused to talk to me. My injured cousin was on the line. I explain my self to him, that I was in uni etc etc… but NAHHHH of course it does not interest them… as I have FAILED TO ASSIST them in their opinion…
What else can I do? How should I feel or react? What about my time wasted… no studying, no library visit, gone all my plan for 3 hours gap between my lectures… I am just so frustrated, I had to write this out… my grammer may not be right.. I just don’t care. I know somehow my mom will get this “cold treatment” as well from her sister becaused I HAVED FAILED this time…. And gone all my good deeds all this while… I will just be remembered as “THAT COUSIN WHO WORK FOR AN AIRLINE WHO CANNOT EVEN ASSIT US WHEN WE NEED HELP”…
The truth is… I tried, honest to GOD… I know 7 habits says, “work with your circle of influence”… I tried and hence my conscience should be free but I still feel bad…WHY? WHY?
Kimi... calm down, it's now 2.30 pm and 2nd lecture is about to start now… focus focus focus!

Kimi,
Your aunt is unreasonable for imposing you to "solve" her problems. You tried.... she should have just be thankful for that.
As for the rest........
it was a Manic Monday.
Bet today is a much better day for you and the kids.
:)
Take a deep breath, exhale and smile. Life is beautiful.
Leilanie dear,
Yup, you are right! today in fact was the first time I managed to leave my office right at 6 pm... it's been weeks since I "can still see the sun" before I leave office! what a blessing, Alhamdulilah
