I'm in Alor Setar now, my mum's 'kampung'.. We're paying a long overdue visit to my grandmother who's not feeling very well.. My mum, my youngest bro A, our maid and I set off yesterday at 3pm with my uncle and aunt, Pak Lang and Mak Lang.. My brother T didn't come because he conveniently had to finish his homework that's due on Monday :P
Apart from a 1-hour pitstop at Sg. Perak, I dozed all the way here.. We arrived around 8.30pm.. We went to Pak Lang's house for a while before going to my aunt Mak Njang's house where my grandmother lives.. We stayed overnight..
My grandmother's starting to forget things.. Namely people.. Particularly me :P She mistook me for another cousin of mine.. Oh well.. She could remember T though, and she asked why he wasn't there.. Unfair :P
Right now I'm at Pak Lang's place, using his phone line to connect my laptop to the Internet.. Ahh, bliss.. At least I can have some quiet solitude while the rest of the kids run around screaming :P
My mom's having a love problem.. Yes, you read correctly.. My mother has a love problem.. You see, that's one of the perks of being a divorcee, I guess.. Not that I'm endorsing divorces :P It's just that life begins at forty.. -three.. In my mum's case :)
I've always been advising my friends on their love lives.. It's kind of refreshing - and definitely surreal - to be advising your own mom.. You would've thought that with you getting born successfully into this world, the last person needing advice would be your own parent.. But it just goes to show that parents are humans too, not drones programmed to make your life miserable.. They're just like me and you.. They have feelings too.. They want the same things you do.. It's just that they happen to have more money, more work, more grey hair and shorter fuses that they tend to be.. misleading :P
I love my mom.. My life won't be the same without her.. I love my dad.. Well, I wouldn't have a life in the first place without him.. I love my two brothers.. No matter how much they drive me up the wall..
To all the special people in my life - friends, family, foes - I love each and every one of you.. Because I wouldn't be the person I am, doing the things I do, feeling the things I feel, without any of you.. Although I've never told any of you how much I love you guys, I want everyone to know how much I appreciate having all of you in my life..
And I doubt that I would be telling you "I love you" in the near future.. I wouldn't want to induce an epidemic of diabetes.. Too much sweet talk is bad for health.. Yours and mine.. Gosh, I feel like puking already.. Did I really type out all those mushy stuff?
