M.I.L.L.I.O.N. T.H.A.N.K.S.

So, how’s my life in Singapore? I actually went back last weekend. I left the office at 5:45pm, so that I could try and catch the 8pm bus. I reached the bus station quarter to 8, unfortunately there was no more ticket. I didn’t book it earlier because I was afraid that I might be caught up at work. Anyways, I am grateful enough to get a ticket for the 10pm bus ;).

The trip takes roughly 5 hours. I reached around 3am, I think! I asked to stop at the R&R Serdang. My hubby waited patiently for me at the mamak. Thanks, Babah!

The moment I reached home and saw my kids sleeping at the living room along with my parents, my heart just plummets. My hubby carries them to sleep in the room and my eldest daughter woke up and saw me. She probably could not believe her eyes. She just lies still. I took my bath and get myself cleaned up. She continues on watching me without blinking.

I was already lying on the bed and she still did not move until, the instant I called her to sleep right next to me, she got up and climbed up happily. I missed her so much. Even, when I am writing this entry, it never fails to make my eyes a bit watery.

I try to fully utilize the limited hours that’s being given to me to have some happy moments with my family. We brought the kids out plus our maid, Ayu to Jusco, Equine Park that Saturday night. I was looking for a watch and new slippers for my kids. After the short shopping spree, we had cakes at Secret Recipe. What else, other than my favourite ‘Apple Crumble Cheesecake’ for me, ‘Carrot Cake’ for my hubby, ‘Tiramisu’ for Ayu and ice-creams for the kids.

The next day, we went out again, just to bring my kids jalan-jalan before I took off. We went to Alamanda, Putrajaya. We brought them to play at the playground. They were very happy and did have loads of fun. We end it with lunch at Penang Village. The food was not bad too! But, as usual, when we dine out at ‘these’ kind of places, surely my kids will make lots of mess and poor waiters/waitresses. They will have to do lots of cleaning up ;).

The evening before I left home, my parents already bring my kids out. Reason being, if they were to see me going, they might end up crying non-stop. So, this is the best way to go about it!

You know, when I am away from my family, then I started to realize how I loved them all and how much I cherished the time spent with them. I mean, it is not only to my family as in my hubby and kids, but it goes as well to my parents.

I know that I have been troubling my parents from day 1. I mean I don’t know how I could repay them for looking after ‘MY FAMILY’ for me. I am blessed and grateful to have such parents in this world. I could not imagine myself without them by my side. Thank you so much, Abah and Emak. I love you guys and you guys are the BEST!

As for my hubby, thank you very much for being who you are, being so patient with me, very understanding on my job and also for looking after OUR beautiful, beautiful daughters!

I am totally speechless when it comes to expressing my thoughts of gratefulness. I just do not know how to say it OUT LOUD. May God Bless You All and God Know How Much I Love all of you!!!
