I Don't Like Mondays

"I Don't Like Mondays!"

Thats the title of a British song Pa remembered well made popular by this group called "Boomtown Rats".

I guess many employees dislike Mondays...for their own reasons. Its the first day of the week after an enjoyable weekend perhaps. Its the traffic jam and rush to work that everyone seem to have to go through. It could be facing the "Boss" for report. The reasons to dislike Mondays is very individual.

Monday for me is back to the "balik kampung" routine. We left home slightly later than usual. We were on the road only at 7.40am.

Its breakfast on the run for me.

This is one of the reasons people dislike Mondays...traffic jams! Of course, the traffic jam here is nothing compared to KL or the Klang Valley.

As usual, Pa & Ma dropped me at "kampung" and went straight to work. Uncle Li was also home as it is his day off today.

In the evening, Ma got a lift home from Mami. Pa came back later after getting a haircut at his regular barber. He brought home some bananas and "karipap". I was outside with Atuk & Wan enjoying my early dinner outside when Pa arrived.

Dinner time is also playtime which Ma doesn't approve of.

I have a little stool to sit on while Atuk & Wan sat on the cement floor.

Wan would patiently feed me a spoon at a time while I actively move around.

After catching up on the stories in todays The Star Pa brought home, Atuk went in to try the "karipap".

The mango tree has started to bear fruit.

Atuk left for the mosque before Maghrib. There's a scheduled 'ceramah' on by the Ustaz.

Pa and Ma had their early dinner as usual. Ma wanted to leave early as I was getting very tired and sleepy. I only had a short nap earlier in the day. We left kampung after Maghrib...I slept all the way from kampung.

Didn't even realise when Ma changed me.

See Ya.
