Double, double, toil and trouble; Fire burn, and cauldron bubble




Yesterday Izz and his classmates went to Questacon (http://virtual.questacon.edu.au/). They went by bus at 925am. He already went with us the last time my mom was here but still, he was psyched because he was going by bus with his friends and they were going to have a picnic there... I made him his favourite - toasted tuna sandwich. Bought Izz a maroon polar fleece jacket embroidered with Chapman Preschool for AUD20 to help with the school fundraising activities. They came back from the trip at 1pm. Everyone looked happy and animated. Izz n Faris couldn't stop talking about the trip all the way back home. Ana gave us some chocolate pudding she made for lunch. Rosh called and asked me did anyone from K-Mart called about the camera. In fact, somebody did call and told me the repair cost would be AUD233! I might as well buy a new camera with that amount of money! He practically slammed the phone on me after I told him that. I called him back and said we don't have to repair the camera and just take it back. He grunted something and hung up. I was so pi$$ed off. It has always been like this with him. Silly, simple things will set him off. Later he called me back and told me to wait outside with the camera's repair slip so that he can take it without getting out of the car. The cheek of him! I waited for him - Inside the house and he came home 20 mins later. He was grumbling about a lost receipt and why must I always 'destroy' everything that I touch. Sabar... sabar... Yani.... He checked everywhere - my room, the toilet, the laundry room... everywhere. You see, he lost his house keys 2 days ago and 'hinted' that I took it. Now he couldn't find the receipt for the camera and yes... blame it on me too. He whirlwinds through the house and knock down everything that was in his path, including Izz n Aish. Then he went back to college. Half an hour later he called and asked me n the kids to be ready by 5pm for dinner outside. Typical... after all the $#!t he put us through, he will try to bribe us with something to smooth things over. Never once did he apologized for his actions. Anyway what the hell... there will not be any next time for this kind of behaviour anymore. Good riddance! We were ready when he got home. He took us out to Lemongrass Restaurant. We ordered deep fried fish fillet in basil n peanut sauce, bean curd and vegetables in sweet chilli sauce and tom yam goong. The food was delectable, and Izz enjoyed it very much. We did not talk at all except for an occasional comments on the way Aish 'devoured' his Crispix. After dinner he sent us home and went straight out. He came back around 2am and as the previous nites before this, he slept with us, in the same room. Why...? To save the electricity bills of course! So he doesn't have to switch on the heater in his room. What... do you think he has a sudden change of heart? Yeah... right....
