How things have changed

It's been a long long time since I've updated this blog. So many things have changed since then. I'm now married and no longer staying in the West, no longer have my favourite daily dinner with soup, with my family, no longer in audit, no longer a little girl in my twenties.

Everyday, I'm still serious at work and may work late half the time. However, I have someone different to go home to.

Everyday, there are friends and/or ex-colleagues I think about, but being the passive (& maybe somewhat socially awkward) me, I don't do anything much about it.

Everyday, I still miss a number of people when my mind is not on work or on my hubby beside me. This number increases, as I no longer stay with my dear family I grew up in. Other than missing Daddy, my sis and bro, I also miss the ones who have left us physically but always live on in our hearts and memories - Mummy, Ah Ma and Ah Gong.

I miss the good old days when my home in the West was bustling with activity; when Mummy was the boss of the house and brings about all the enthusiasm when we go on holidays or simply weekend shopping; when she cooks for us and is proud that it tastes so much better than our helper's cooking even if with the same ingredients; when Mummy banters with me. It is difficult for us, but understandably much worse for Daddy. I dont think I have seen him smile or laugh truly happily like how he used to, when we still had Mummy. Now, I realise that Mummy is really the most "chin-chai", even if we always made a joke out of it. She is our 开心果 and the life of the family.

Now, I can only do my best and come home to the West to keep Daddy company every weekend and keep in touch within the family because as everyone grows up and starts their own families, simple things like these really takes coordination and effort.

There is so much going on via the internet, and I must admit that I don't really (bother to) keep up with the times. All that matters is, we choose to be happy.
