Lost & Found & Lost Again

It's my birthday week. It's the last year of my 20's life. Nothing significant about this year, except that I just had my beautiful son and enjoying every moment with him and the Binti. Habibi has planned a surprise, which I'm sure takes a lot of effort and 'reminder notes' everywhere so that he could remember he actually had planned one! He said, "Let's not make it a birthday, let's make it a Birthday Week!"..wah.. really? "Let's go out everyday this week until your birthday". Eh, why not! Very gooood. He even offered to have dinner outside everyday..but knowing what little choices we have... I rather we just save that for the Birthday.

I also have this incredible itch to locate my immediate family members. Maybe its the maternal instinct, whatever it is, at least one of us is trying. Daddy doesn't have a number, so I cannot tell him that he now have another grandchild. Actually, 2 more..because my one and only elder sister (from the same parents) has just given birth too. I've been trying all morning to talk to my elder sister, got her once on the line, but it was too noisy, I decided to make the call again using another provider...but till now, I cannot get hold of her again. My family in Singapore informed me that she just gave birth, and after digging into my old emails, alhamdulillah, I found her husband's number that she gave me a long while ago.

Mommy also dissappeared over a year. Numbers are not valid anymore. Why do people change their numbers so often? Alhamdulillah, a kind blogger friend helped me locate someone who might have Mommy's husband's number. (He is kinda known in the Entertainment Industry). I was very excited when I got a reply on the email which includes his mobile number and also email address. I wanted to do both at the same time. I emailed him, updating, summarizing quickly my intentions...but the email was quick to bounce back into my mailbox with a message ' Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently. When I tried calling his mobile I also got a message Nombor yang anda dial, tiada dalam perkhidmatan (The number you called is not in service).

My only consolation today was that my sister has picked up the phone, which means, the number is valid, and I could try again today, everyday, if that is what it takes me to get in touch with her and the rest of the 'family'.

This is the least I could do for myself this birthday.
