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...
