Distance

It was a super great weekend. Starting with Dad coming home on Friday night followed by a baking / cooking Satur-Day, and a long, relaxed, chilled out dinner with the whole family on Satur-Nite. Really, nothing beats sitting around the dining table, surrounded by good food, but most of all good talk & laughter. Even super active Del was just sitting and laughing away (or rather, being laughed at!)


Should see dad's face when he got this shirt... Thank you again Jane. He loved it, and his cucu forced him to keep it for Christmas! Haha.

My parents consider themselves really extremely blessed coz not only do their daughter has got a bunch of "crazy-never-give-up-i-love-you-till-death" bunch of friends; their grandson's got a mountain of "entertaining-positive influence-you're extraordinary to do extraordinary-things" aunties and uncles but also that they too have a bunch of children whom they hold very dear to their heart [They still have cookies kah that? You should send them seaweed, make more the bun, then send over - me: erm, she not eat chicken - then make beef la... need to send the butter cookies to Sha, bla bla, bla!] (and who gets them stuff even when they go travelling??? - to note, mom's received bag la, baju la, kain la - which are now in her treasure chest!). Honest, it's hard to comprehend!

It was bittersweet to see Dad go off again yesterday. To know that he will need to find his way back to the School via public transport alone; even after poring over maps and photos of the railway - aduh... it was enough to create a nervous wreck out of me! When he called to say that he's back in his apartment, "relief" would not even come close to what I felt.

I guess it's true... distance does indeed make the heart grow fonder.

7 days bet is over. I'm on the losing end. I guess it was not meant to be. Be strong, dear Heart.
