This holiday is quite weird as I was to spend part of it somewhere else and not at HOME.Summing it all up,the first week was at college and the rest was at my cousin's.My aunt and uncle went to perform their pilgrimage journey and there I was,enjoying myself thoroughly with my dear cousins.It was actually perfect,as I haven't met them for quite some time.So,we spent the days together;cooking,went for movies,shopping,watching different genres of movie-from classic to modern one-hours and hours in front of the TV(I even felt dumber than the idiot box already),glaring and staring at a dead fish in the aquarium;wondering how to get that thing out,watching their cat's girlfriend puke near the kitchen door and so much more.It was nice..really.We had a great deal of good times together.
See,we used to play,sleep,eat and even bathe together when we were young and those good times seems to vanish as we grew older.The feeling of being acquainted is now replaced by this awkwardness,as we're a perfect stranger.It feels like there's a gap?Maybe it is because of the time strain that we have these days.We're in university now.Things are a bit different;more responsibility,more important things to do.Childhood era had long passed.
Back to the scene,I had the pleasure to spend such a marvelous time.Honestly I did learned several useful thing like how to cook 'ikan bakar' using the banana leaves..Oow,my fish looked deadlier than ever.
Indeed I must say,no matter how wonderful and satisfying a place were,there is never a better place than HOME.Yes,I do miss HOME.In fact,I don't seem to believe myself when I was feeling homesick.Even at my cousin's?What the..I gave myself a sardonic smile..I miss HOME,really??So ironic..
Well my mum did came a few times as their youngest sister was staying with us.She's just 9,so more attention needed,and with heaps of work to do,she might go unnoticed,I guess.I kept giving hints to mum,but she seems to be clueless than ever.Not subtle enough?Oh my god!Well,my grandfather was actually staying with them,but he went to this Sarawak trip with my other aunt,so I was to keep my cousin's company until he's back.Its not that I don't like to stay,but the urge to go HOME was irresistible.A day before he's back,I felt like burning already.The scent of HOME has already lingered in me.I made no procrastination and packed.Finally!
Mum and I went to the hospital first to get my dad's stuff.On that same day too,my sister promised to meet mum so they could go and buy her super-duper thick,burdensome nursing books.Its like you put 2 or 3 bricks in the plastic bag and the size was almost as big as this computer screen.My only question:Won't they break her back?So many things happened in the process..I even puked somewhere on the road side,in front of a hotel,near the alley beside the corner lot 7-eleven.It was one of the most unethical thing I've ever done!I almost fainted too.For the next hours,I was in my somber mood.Gosh!I haven't done that for years..XD
Out of this so called adventurous day,the best moment did happened when I got HOME!Yess..I just love the feeling so much.Its like discovering a place where I belong.H.O.M.E
