babysitting job: my last night

we are now at our favourite hangout at Swensen. My boys' good friend Haidar has been having a sleepover at our house. And today is his last night before we send him home. Haidar's dad Habib, is an Indian businessman who has been living here for years and we have become close friends since the day we arrived here. It so happened that Habib went back to India for a businness trip so I told him that I could take care his son Haidar as he goes to the same school as my eldest son syafiq and they too are good buddies.

My maids told me that they had been awake almost everynight playing pingpong, football and the PS3 only to hit the beds at the wee hours of the morning. As usual the little rascals have been pushing me around literally like a headless chicken from one end of the planet to another. I really have no idea where they got their energy from but they really got me so conked out with all the endless activities they wanted me in, from swimming at our lap pool, playing catch up, football as well as cyclin. Last weekend they got me up onto the ferris wheel at the night market down at the city centre. It was not exactly the kind of theraphy I was expecting from my current malaise that is vertigo. and the worst part was the ferris wheel did seem to spin endlessly as the guy handling the wheel looked gingerly happy looking at my misery. It kept on spinning for a good 8 minutes or so. Had I threw up that night I could swear I would have aimed it at him! really cant wait for missus to get back! Thankfully this is the final night I am all alone babysitting them. Otherwise, I dont think I will live through another day! Honestly.
