My son, oh, my son!

My son has probably broken the Guiness Book of World Records for loosing his pair of spectacles again! The 4th in a year!!

I don't know whether I should scream or cry!!!!!
Papa was speechless when I told him about it.

I don't want to call in to the Suze Orman Show ( to check if I can afford to buy him another pair), I can almost hear her say:
'What the hell is wrong with your son, girlfriend??????'

However, after ransacking the house upside down, I made a feeble attempt to call my mother.

You see, my mother has the ability to 'nujum' (fortell) the whereabout of your lost things, sort of. But she doesn't like to do that often as she claims that she will pray without pahala for 44 days for doing something which is 'kurafat'! he,he,he...
For us, she usually obliged provided we feign utter misery at the lost of our belonging.

After asking the date Imran looses the item, she said, 'kau carik lah, ado , nampak yor!' (you go search, it's still there,I can see it so clearly')....

Last year, Imran lost his I-pod touch during Tasya's wedding. After consulting her, my mother said 'terlampau simpan dek orang, lamo-lamo dapek balik barang ni, tapi tak sonang dor...'(it was kept properly by someone, and Imran will eventually get it back, but not in such an easy manner).It was a long story, but true enough, Imran got it back after about 3 months, reluctantly from someone known to us who came to the house during the wedding.

Then later Imran left his brand new Tissot watch in a public toilet at One Utama after washing his hands!. Mother said 'Dah dapek kek orang'!! (it's already taken by someone!).Like duh! of course it's taken if you foolishly place a gleaming RM2K tissot watch in a public toilet!!!

Have you gotten the trend yet? It's Imran looses this and Imran looses that......If I continuosly consult my mother for every item that he looses, she probably has to pray without any pahala for an entire year!!!!

Haih! The perils of the last son!!!!
