My Journey

It was not easy to visit my hometown since my husband has commit to a new job. He only get one rest day from the weekdays and he need to work on weekends. It's hard for us to "balik kampung" because we don't share the same rest day anymore. Not just "balik kampung" but everything has changed and in some ways it affect our routine/lifestyle that we have before this. Nowadays he need to concentrate on his works and that means his time for our leisure and social activities has been reduced to a small amount. We seldom hang-out with our close friend and relatives anymore because his working environment has taken half of his energy and as a wife I understand that he only want a good rest & good foods to be served after such a long day job.

But everything was paid off when we managed to "balik kampung" last Tuesday. It was such a pleasure journey on the way back to Melaka and I can't help thinking about all the fun and sad memories that kept running in my head. I realized that some of the memories has built me to be a strong person in order to deal with differents matters in this life. Time come and past so quickly and I'm afraid if I will miss something vulnerable. I hope that I'm lucky enough to experience a succesful journey!

But, I also realized that my grandfather is not strong like he used to be. Recently he was admitted in the hospital because his body was so weak since he lost his eating appetites. I was very sad when I realized that he was still lying on the bed when I came to see him. It was not his style to stay up in the bed too long because usually he will find something else to do. I missed my old day with him especially when he brought me and the rest of my cousins to the beach. He loved to see us playing with each other and he never failed to take us to the same beach during our school holidays. I must admitt that one day I will miss him so much!
