This has always been what I wanted. After a long day outside, I just want to come home and enjoy the serenity of solitude, away from the hustle and bustle of the Lion city. Silence. Peace. Tranquility.
Chilling out with my smooth jazzy music. Sipping freshly made orange juice through a straw. Lying on the couch. Enjoying the cool air from the air-conditioner. What more could I ask for?
Usually, I would arrive at home to face my nephew and niece, which my mom is babysitting while my brother and his wife are away at work. A toddler and primary school kid isn't exactly the kind of relaxation I am looking forward to at the end of the day. I personally feel that if you really want to have children, make sure you have time for them. But never mind about that. I shan't spoil the lovely mood tonight.
And when the kids are not around, I will have to face my mom's and dad's endless barrage of well-intentioned questions: "Have you eaten?", "What did you do today?", "Can you help me read this letter?", this and that and yada yada. I am not saying they are irritating but sometimes, I just don't want to be talked to, bothered and just want to be left alone. Plus because I don't have my own room, I cannot 'escape' from them.
They are all now in Malaysia for a short vacation. My parents, my brother, his wife and the kids. And they won't be back till Saturday.
I am going to enjoy this rare period of nirvana!
