Grrrrrrrrrr....

GRRrrrrrrr!!!

GERAM-nya!!!

First, I changed H's return date from 4th Jan to 27th December which incurred a penalty of USD 20/-.
Then this fella called me from work yesterday informing me that he has a negotiation at 4 PM today, and another on the morning of Boxing Day. So, he can't come home with us this time.

BUT the ticket cannot be cancelled. The next plan was to change the ticket AGAIN. For him to fly out on New Years day, and return with us on the 4th of Jan, as originally planned. 
BLEAH...
NO MORE ECONOMY SEATS on the 4th of January.
OF course we are not going to pay the extra $$$.
So....changed H's ticket to return to KL at a later date.....without us :-(
And of course, incurring another penalty of USD 20/-
BLEAH!!!!

*sigh* What to do??? 
He officially took on a new position just this Monday.....lots of responsibilities and challenges.
We were just saying "cushy job donwan......." (his last job was quite cushy. Okay. Not exactly lah. But more manageable)

On a different note. Apparently, my maid is still sick. Driver went to see her yesterday. No more dengue but got donno what with her belly, and can't even stand straight. I'll clarify further with the driver later (H was the one that relayed the news. He couldn't really understand what the driver was telling him). Will see what happens when I return in ten days time. I don't want to be cruel, but if she is going to have this long lingering unknown illness, whereby no one knows when she is going to be fully-well, I don't think I can wait for her when the boys start school. 

Okay lah. Got to go finish off some last minute packing and chores (need to have a fairly clean house for H lah...)
