We all love this chinese new year. If we can have four (three for me) full days of public holiday, i really wish for a chinese new year every month! It was so nice to finally be resting after a gruelling january. A deserved break for most of us aye.
I am really grateful for this break. And the weather had been just nice, rainy cool days. But what i loved most was that i got to spend a bit of time with my family three days straight. Got a massage with my mother and sister at the comfort of home at hougang ave 8. I miss my family, the chitter chatter of my siblings and my parents.
I got to go shopping with my parents, for their prep to umrah end of this month. That…i really am happy for. Its just, we will always feel happy seeing our parents happy. Although honestly, i am quite worried for them. I mean, my parents havent really travelled so far, and like letting them go to a far away foreign land, no doubt in a group, i still feel worried for them. My parents are such honest kind innocent people and i know they will be quite out of place not knowing what to do. Not that i know what to do when i have never gone there before myself, but i feel i can take better care of them when i am there. But anyway, my father surprised us all when he already bought the umrah package. I wasnt prepared for it myself but i would have loved to go. And i worry for my mother because she couldnt read the quran as well and no one to accompany her down there if she needs to go anywhere muslimah based. Oh Lord, i leave them to You, please guide them, accept their umrah, forgive them and take care of them.
Looking at another angle, i am quite relieved also i am here so that i can take care of my siblings. Although they can take care of themselves, still, an adult somewhere near them is important too.
Maybe the next time, we can all go together. Amiin.
I got to do things i love and not a second i thought about work.
I wish it is still holiday tomorrow. If only i am not working…;)
