Well, went to Malaysia again last weekend. This time to visit my grandparents, because well, the dowager had gave the instructions for all of us to go back. And well, truth be told I haven't been back to visit them for at least a year...
Well, hard to lah. When my parents go back to Malaysia, it's either I have something on or his has something on and I rather accompany him. We haven't got our own car either, so it's abit inconvenient. And well, if I had to choose between visiting his side and my side, I'll choose his any time.
But seeing kong kong so old now, and having a stroke sometime back, I can't help but wonder... Where has time gone? What have I done or achieved in life? Why haven't I done more to be more active in my grandparents' lives? In my parents' lives? Why aren't I more sociable and caring towards my family?
Sometimes I feel like I have so much regrets in life and yet I don't do anything about it. Perhaps I don't know how. Perhaps I feel it's too late. How to forge a better relationship with my parents and grandparents? I don't know how to speak dialect with the latter, so I can't communicate much with them. And we almost never talk, so I don't know what to say to them. With my parents, well, let's just say we don't communicate as much due to my younger days experiences. We are just not as close as I'd hoped. You know, like how some parents are actually friends with their kids? I want that kind of relationship, but that has been such far off since young. And it's too late now to try and salvage, much less cultivate such a relationship. But I do love my daddy so so much. I'll never forget how much he used to love me and showing it. Not that he doesn't now... But I missed those days when i'm just his little girl and he being my hero. I just want to be his little girl again. But all these are words that won't come out. What comes out are usually curt replies when I'm not in the mood, talking back when I feel that he's being naggy, nonchalant
replies when I'm busy doing mundane stuff, etc. I guess I'm just brought up this way, not expressive towards family.
Well, Monday was Ivory's wedding dinner. Somehow I just feel like crying. Thinking of how we used to be so close at my ex-company. And now finally she's married! Well, by right she was long married lah. Just that she had her wedding dinner like, half a year later? I don't know. Just felt so touched and glad to be at her wedding dinner. I wish them both a blissful marriage and to stay true and loving till the end of time!
Well, I hope this emo phase will blow over soon! I hate feeling so emo! Ok, it's late now, going to sleep and I hope my neck and throat will feel better before this weekend!
