Gosh, it has been more than 2 years that I wrote and those missing chapters include moving into my new house at SM, my boy leaving home for further studies in Edinburgh and my brother leaving Malaysia for good on 12.8.17 for Melbourne. Well, time passes real fast and now we are into the new year 2018.
On this new year day, I was clueless of what was in plan for me. Early morning, TH told me that dad called and suggested a trip to Tanjung Karang for seafood. He just didnt want to sit at home and do nothing. So TH invited him to our house instead and suggested to bring him to the new mall nearby, Melawati Mall. Susan drove him and mom over at 1pm. Had a pleasant chat at home before we took him to lunch at Restoran Teo Chew Setapak for a nostalgic feel of the traditional sinful food, heavily laden with pork lard. Dad started to tell his story about that place which he frequent when he was young and that he remembered there was a popular nightclub in the vicinity too. Then took him for a leisure drive around Air Panas that he remembered well too before we made it to Melawati Mall. He enjoyed shopping too. He wanted to buy clothes for CNY. Susan bought some socks for mom. Mom sat down and waited patiently for us. Very soon, it was 6pm and we had chendol at Teo Chew Penang inside the mall before we left for home.
I salute dad and mom for the energy that they have at their age. Dad is 88 this year and mom is 83. Spending a day with them on this new year actually inspires me. I want to do more in life and live with great enthusiasm and energy.
