was away for cny at the grand parent's place. thou i was not the driver, the 8 hr squeeze at the back sit with my mum and an elder wasnt gd at all. u know that ur the youngest and have to sit in the middle so that the 2 older folks would have a better time but that also means u resorted yourself to torture for the crawling minutes.
overall it was a great getaway. the peace and serenity was much appreciated in due of life back here. no worries of food, money, acomplishments, aims, watsoever. each day was filled with great kampong food, company and not least the gambling sessions.
one of the main reasons of returning back was because of the grandmother. the grandpa left recently and shes all alone inside. thou she had 8 children, none are by her side during normal days. news had also been said that shes becoming weaker by the day.
somehow due to this, i keep wonder whats the gist of one's life.
her era was to feed the 8 kids and raise them well (thou no easy feat, it still seems kinda common). subsequently the baton was passed on to my dad where most of his brothers settled in sg, so i guess tt was the main part of their life to leave their comfort zone in search for a better life in the little red dot. and now, the baton's on my hands, so wat will i be known for in my life? to parent a kid?
