What else can go wrong?


There's a time when everything is going against you. It first started last week. Azrai lost his notebook during friday prayers. Not only did they take the notebook, but his two workbags, God knows why. The bigger heartache is the information in the notebook and the important documents in the bags.

Later, over the weekend, Azrai was ill with high fever. I suspected that he has Denggi after clearing the backyard a couple of days back. I tried to help him fight the fever by making him drink lots of water throughout the day. He lost appetite, his temperature was high the whole time and he was feeling lousy. I was at wits end and on Monday, Azrai wanted to go to the hospital. Long story short, he was admitted to Sunway Medical Center for observation.

On Tuesday, after checking in on Azrai at the hospital, I went to Yap Kwan Seng to send a cheque to someone. It was midday and the road was busy as usual. Traffic was slow to a point that the car was crawling instead of moving. Despite all that, some idiot managed to hit my car from behind! Under the heat, with the insufferable traffic and an idiot for a driver behind me. That's just it! My rear bumper was dislodged if nothing else is broken. I took the idiot's details and agreed to get it fixed tomorrow. On top of that, I had to make a police report. The way the police here does it, I have to make the report all the way at cawangan trafik Jalan Bandar when there's a police station nearby at Tun Razak. Can't they make my life more difficult?

So today, I have to send the car to get it fixed. Hung around at Sunway Medical Center in Azrai's ward while waiting for the car to be ready. I hope this is the end of the series of unfortunate events for us. I do hope things would get better from now on. It was nice of Adik to take emergency leave and be there for Danial and me at home. He even fetched Danial from the nursery yesterday when I was late. Can't wait for Azrai to get better and come home. Adik will be flying again tomorrow. It'll be pretty lonely for us to be home alone...
