14th day...HApPy ChiNesE NEw yEaR...

Yes...happy....
has been eating non-stop....since i cannot-remember-when...
which has cause me a certain level of phobia towards food...
The sight of food no longer create immense joy like it used to create joy
when i was in Uk....
And that...in economic term is known as "diminishing marginal utility"...
which means...something is very wrong with my lifestyle now...

It seems that my miserable days in Uk is so much happier than my cosy days at home...

Hmmm....anyway...

Happy Chinese New Year everyone...

4th day....Part 2

I thought the day will just end peacefully....

But....

My mum has been complaining about numbness around her hand and leg...on one side of her body...then her head feels numb....one side of her face....

I seriously suspect she might be suffering from minor stroke....if not...it could be a warning signs....

Went to the hospital....dun like the idea that i cannot speak any thai except for saying "sawadika...." and smile helplessly...with handsigns that dun make sense....
Luckily my brother speak eloquent thai....

In the end....it seems like...she is ok at the moment....but she will need further check up....just to make sure she is alright...

Pray hard everybody....

The 1st day in Chiangmai...

The first person I saw from my family in Chiangmai is my father....followed by my brother then my mum....it was a weird feeling...but was glad that I finally see everybody....EVERYBODY has grown FAT.

I was at the immigration checkpoint collection my baggage as i saw a man at the corner of the entrance...that is my father...then...I waved at him...then...as I look back at that corner again...my brother squeeze in....I saw my mum finally when I walk out of the entrance...

16th of January...after so many days "not at home"...I am back...to this strange place I have to call my home..from now on...

First thing...to the carpark...hopped onto my father's antique Mercs...and head for dinner...

Chiangmai's BEST chinese restaurant for a reunion dinner....it has been more than 4 years since the last time everyone in the family is present...if only my eldest uncle is still alive....it would been a more complete one...
However....seriously...this is good enough....

First time in Thailand....first thing....the chrysanthemum tea....TOO SWEET.....the first thing I sent to my mouth after I touch down...food wise....not bad...

Second thing....toilet...nice and pretty....got class...very impressive...

Then we went to visit my father's god-grandson...cute and blur looking...

Then is the highlight of the day....HOME SWEET HOME....

As my father drive into the lane...I wonder how my "home" is going to look like...saw a gate...and my brother ran out to open it...drive in...it was actually quite a distant...which is something rather unexpected for me....then...after some tormenting seconds....I saw a small little house before me....

Open the door....a dog attack me me..!...a big fat cute and hyper-active one....

Then I step into the home that I have been imaging....

It was the same home.

I mean...every gist of whatever my home is like in Sinagpore...is what I see here...except from the difference in arrangement....nothing too new to cause me any shock...

Too familar...no need at all to get used to anything....

Technicaly, I am no longer "not at home".

I am back home.

HOME SWEET HOME.

*******************************

That very night....was the first time ever I felt so connect to my mum....
we talked like we have never talk before...first time in my life...
We share a giant bed and talked non-stop....until we hear the rooster did it job...

In between...we saw a centipede on the ceiling...and remove it from the ceiling with some sqeak(mainly me)...and my mum release it to the garden...

Finally...at around 5am on the 17th January....I fall asleep....

And that is my first day in Chiangmai....

Nothing too foreign...everything is just the way it is...

Soo familiar....yet....so strange...

16016--170106

Think of him...

I think of him again this morning....
That was when I told Yahui about him...

It was indeed sweet...
Bitter sweet...
And I smiled...

It is not tha bad when I only think of the happy times...

Something Missing...

I went back to read my life during my saddest....between 24th september till 12th October roughly....and realise I did not blog at all...

Not a bad thing...

Life...goes on...

Yes...I am still sad...
I know it is silly...but the sadness never left me...just that I am learning to get used to the pain....and cry lesser each day....

but I am glad that the frequency of sadness is falling as days went by....
at first...I was sooo sad...that i had to run to the toilet to cry every hour...while I was in the office working in the bank....
Then...slowly...it becomes everynight...while I walked home from work from the restaurant...in the cold...
time passes...it becomes once every two /three days....under my blanket in the middle of the night...
then a big cry once a week.....becomes...once every 2 weeks...
Everytime i cry...I told myself I will be ok and that it will be the last time i cry...but it was never the last...

Now...three and a half month passed....
I know I am so much stronger now...
Yet...
occassionally...
I will still cry when i am suddenly reminded of him...

like now...
