Sleepless in Houston
February 28, 2007 by haziamyperspective
Ad was on the phone with his mum and sister just now. Everybody was back in KL. Of course, the wedding reception! It’s this Saturday.
Suddenly, I felt overwhelmed by sadness; he was supposed to be back for the occasion. We were planning to meet for the first time this weekend.
He then excused himself for a while; he needed to call the bank in KL. It seemed that he had transfered some money into his mum’s account but she hasn’t receive anything.
He was gone for several hours. Typically, they put him on a merry-go-ground. It was 3.30am (Houston time) when he finally got back online with me. Losing sleep, he was already really, really pissed by then.
The money was meant for the wedding. Since he couldn’t come back, he said the least he could do was pay for the reception. What a good son:) And a whole wedding reception for less than a month’s salary too.
Gee…even if I work until I’m 60, don’t think I’ll ever earn that much:( Anyway, 1 thing about money - like my mother said, no matter how much you earn, it would never be enough!
