Got the car on Tuesday. Sent Rosh to college. Took the kids to Hyperdome Tuggeranong. Big sale at K-Mart. Got few stuff for the house, me n the kids. Izz spent 1 hr plus at the toys department. The rule still applies - can see but cannot buy. Poor kid... will compensate him when we go back to Malaysia. Too much hassle to bring back all the toys home. Went for Wallabies jersey hunting. Special request. Finally got it. Bought additional souvenirs for mak. Had lunch at Tuggeranong Park. Izz was so happy that he finally got to go to the park. The weather was chilly and dreary, however the autumn view of the park was... picturesque. Just like what you always see on the postcards or calendars. Went home, Kye and Brandon were already playing in front of the house. Later on both of them were in the house playing computer games. It was Fish Head Curry for dinner that nite. Called Corinne up to watch over the kids for a while because I need to pick up Rosh at his college. The house was a hive of activities. I was feeling a little bit melancholic. Strange how you can have all these noises and people around you and yet you can feel so alone and empty at the same time. The more you try to fill it up the more barren you feel. Sometimes I feel so helpless, like I'm drowning in a fathomless sea of despair. It's just like if I am not careful enough I would be sucked into its depth unknowingly and could not escape... ever. I'm just putting up a brave face to the world so that people would not see how vulnerable I am right now, I just don't want them to worry too much about me. I think I've caused enough distress in the lives of those that I love. Ahhh.. affairs of the heart. Agony and ecstasy are the same intense feelings but for different emotions - hate and love. The person who said "It's better to have love and lost than not to love at all" must have been a Psycho! or a Sadist! Who wants to experience grief, torture, betrayal, anguish, despair...all in one big swoop? OK .. enough! Keep it together girl!! We don't want me to do a Sukey-La la here in Oz.
Today, Ana Ariffin (from Indonesia) asked me to accompany her to do some shopping. We used her car since her husband went for an overseas study tour. Her kid and mine are in the same class in preschool. Sent the kids to preschool. Then we went to the Asian Store in Phillips. The prices are indeed cheaper there and there are more choices. Later we went to the Salvos nearby. I got a leather boots for AUD5! In my size! Finally... it's a miracle! Ana got a few stuff for herself and the kids. 6 items of clothing for AUD 6! Why don't we have this kind of store back home? Later we went to Hyperdome Tuggeranong (again!) and just browsing around when we saw this shop - Jeans West, was having a major sale! 2 dresses for AUD20! 3 tops for AUD10! Well, you know the relationship between women and sales... we're suckers for them! So after trying heaps of stuff, I got a leopard print, halter neck dress and a red shirt dress. Ana got a coco wrap-around dress and the same red shirt dress. It's OK since she'll be back in Indonesia and I'm in Malaysia so the possibility of both of us wearing the same thing at the same place is minute. Went to Woolworth for groceries and guess what? I left my groceries after paying for them! I just realised it halfway to the car park... That shows how much my mind is in disarray. Asked Ana to look after Aish and I rushed back to the store. Phew.. lucky it was still there. Dropped by to the Asian store nearby to look for Kari Cap Burung Nuri. Couldn't get it at the one in Phillip. Pick up the kids from school and went home. Today is Marion's moving day. Went to her house and it's already half empty. Left her after saying hello and passing the key to Corinne's house. Didn't want to disturb her. Izz went to sleep straight away. I started preparing for dinner. Today it's ribs again with mushroom soup, garlic bread and salad. Heard a knock at the door. It was Corrine and she has locked herself out of the house! She wants to get her keys but I told her I already given it to Marion! She panicked because her car keys were in the house and she need to pick up her kids from school in 15 mins! Gave her Marion's phone no. cause I guess she's already in her new house , arranging her stuff. But lo and behold! She's still in the house! Lucky for Corinne! Izz woke up and went to Corinne's house to play with Kye. After cooking, went to Corinne's house to pick up Izz n to borrow an icepack cause my left knee is killing me. Every time I put pressure on it there's a sharp pain and it has been three days since it first started. However, physical pain is something that I can endure and control, nothing like my bleeding heart...
