AWAY FROM HOME

It is almost 4 months since I have been away from home. I am glad that I manage to visit some places. Spend all my money but at least I get to see some friends. Go back home - have to eat porridge every day. Luckily Wen gave me some pocket money for babysitting.

Today Wen and I did some packing. I came with 2 bags and going home with 5 bags and shipping a big box of mine and baby's old clothings. Bought a lot of clothings for myself and my family and some souveniours for my friends. And I also bought a buggy wheelchair. Sound absurb but I bought it for several reasons. First of all, we might not have the buggy type in Malaysia, secondly, I am the youngest in the family and there are other older brothers, sisters, sis-in-laws and bros-in-laws. As age catches up, a lot of uninvited friends will come finding us. So I think it will come in handy. And most importantly, my legs are failing me. Each time I walk fast or a slight twist, it hurts a lot. So tell me if I am wrong to purchase the wheelchair for future use.

Got two astonishing news just couple of weeks ago. My ex-colleague, very sweet young lady, just had a baby told me that she is getting a divorce. And another of my close friend who is married for the past 30 years, had 3 beautiful kids. Eldest girl - 28, just had a 9 lbs baby, Second boy - 26 and the youngest being only11, broke the news to me that her hubby is involved with a 22 year old china girl. He told her that he cannot leave the woman because she was a virgin before he slept with her. Has given my friend an alternative to either let him keep her or divorce him. Up to date, I still do not believe that he would do such a stupid thing because he adores his kids. I am still praying that he is doing this for a special reason. I know my friend is going thru hell and I regret not being there for her when she needed me most.

These few months have made me realise true love. Well, I must say that it has indeed made me a smarter person.

Sure am looking forward to go home. Especially the food is still the best in Malaysia.

I always say this prayer. May the GOD ALMIGHTY / GODDESS OF MERCY / ALLAH bless and keep harmony in the world.
