The headless chicken syndrome struck again. I’m set to go back on Friday, there are so many things around the house that need to be done before I leave. House to clean, laundry to do, clothes to iron, garden to tidy up, paper works to finish, luggage to pack. Also need to prepare and freeze some food so that K doesn’t starve to death. Come to think of it, actually it might be a good chance for him to loose that extra spare tyre or two. Hehe.
All of the above needed to be done before I leave but what did I choose to do? Sitting in front of this evil evil machine and browsing away. Aren’t we all a little addicted in one way or another? I cannot keep counting how many times I tell myself to just hop on and check mail for a few minutes. But next thing just a few minutes turned into hours and nothing was done (well, not nothing, at least I was entertained). I am now hopelessly and severely sucked into this addiction. I’m not going to write a long essay about how I’m going to find ways to stop etc though, because I enjoy it, so I’m not going to stop. Why fight the losing battle when you can join it, right?
Anyway, as I said before, I am going back on Friday. Yay! It’s been a long time since I was together with my family to celebrate CNY. We will be spending a few days in Singapore, away from all the buzz and chaos at home. This way my dad gets a total rest without having to entertain everyone who comes knocking down our door. The only down side is that K won’t be there with us as he can’t't take such a long leave. So poor K have to spend CNY alone at home. Luckily he has relatives to visit and work to keep him busy. Still,it would be very hard for us as this is the first time we are going to be away from each other ever since we got married. I am going to miss him terribly. I fore-see a huge phone bill coming our way. Telecom is going to suck my blood.
Many of you wondered how I manage to take such long leave to go back to Malaysia. Well, family is my life, my father is my blood. I need to be there for my dad. Plus I have an understanding boss. So unpaid leave it is. No questions asked.
For those of you who’re still reading up to here, please pardon my aimless rambling. I find it a great way to calm my mind. Quite overwhelmed right now.
OK I know I know, now back to cleaning, tidying, cooking, ironing… or am I?!
must. resist. urge. to. surf.

cc,
Me too always sit in front of the pc instead of doing the works that I suppose to do lah. Never mind lah. Sure have time one. hehe.
I’m sure you will enjoy your CNY back home although without your hubby. And I bet your hubby also want you to be back with your family since your dad is not feeling well. I hope your dad will get well soon!
Happy Valentine’s Day to you, CC! Have a safe and enjoyable trip back home. We’ll miss you!:)

Hey CC!
I feel for you. My husband too is all set to travel on Saturday off for 3 weeks, and i will be spending New years all alone!!!:-(( The phone bill is always huge, so we’ve already been there..:-))
And here i am sitting in front of the computer when i too have got to get going on my list of things…*sigh* SO we you see, there are probably millions of us..:-))
Take heart. I have a feeling your dad will be okay, if only because you care for him so much. That he feels it and thinks, “Dang! I can beat this thing for my daughter!” Hugs to you.
And here’s hoping your dad gets the rest he needs and you both enjoy Singapore.
