Mom called. Talk about planning WAY ahead of time.
Mom: Girl, I managed to book your ticket back to Bristol for you.
Me: Oh, great. I'm coming home for Christmas!!!!!
Mom: So when should I book your date back to Malaysia in Summer? Is 14th of June ok?
Me: Er....should be I guess. Can't you just book a temporary date and change it another day?
Mom: No. Nowadays the airline charges a certain fee for changing the dates.
Me: Bummer...how am I supposed to know when I'm available in 9 months time? I could have had a baby and decided to stay back.
Mom: Anyway, I'll book on the 14th of June for your first.
Me: Ok.
After the going through 15 minutes of conversation with my mom about my stay in London....
Mom: Ok, So I'll book the ticket for the 14th of June for you to come back to Malaysia. When do you want to go back to Bristol?
Me: I don’t know. Depends if I feel like writing my dissertation back in KL or here.
Mom: You have to tell me soon because all the flights will be full!!
Me: .....but mom, that's like NEXT YEAR. Just book any date you like. I can submit my dissertation via post anyway.
Mom: Ok, I'll book somewhere in August for you. And since your visa is going to expire in January 2009, I better book another ticket for you. What date do you want me to book for you then?
Me: huh?! You have to book ticket for January 2009? I don't even know what am I going to do in London tomorrow and you’re asking me to plan 2 years ahead!
Mom: But you need to book tickets...
Me: I think you're panicking too much.
Mom: I'll book for you 31st of January 2009 as well just in case.
See mom will always be mom. She always gets frustrated when I can't give her exact dates. I don't even know what classes I'm enrolled in for my LLM, let alone know my future plans. I think my mom failed to realise that her daughter can't plan to save her life!
