boy oh boy. the only thing i like about my work is that i get to go from house-to-house and see their interior design. but the best thing is still getting to see the families and smell the nostalgic childhood scents.

it's nice to go to a family with the door wide open and lotsa of laughter coming out. reminds me of how chinese new years were like when my ah ma was still alive. boisterious, comfortable and real homey!

all these bring back remembrance of my deceased ah ma. i used to be at her place all the time when i was a kiddo because daddy mummy had to work. but i was ok with it. seriously. i'll be there at 7am to watch disney cartoons before going to kindergarten at around 9.

my cousins used to stay over at ah ma's house too so it was always noisy 24/7. my ah ma always made me sleep with her and my guy cousins would sleep in the living room. but being young and impressionable, i would always sneak out in the middle of the night and sleep beside them.

ah ma was really sweet in the old-fashioned way. she thought it was improper demeanor for me to sleep beside my guy cousins. she would carry me back from the living room to her bedroom and the whole night would be spent playing this game.

oh just to add. plain porridge and caixin was the staple after kindergarten each day. it gets really frustrating to eat the same boring stuff everyday (: these happened for many years until she suffered a stroke nearing Olevels.

ok back to work. i feel ancient when i see the little kiddos in the houses. inexplicable but they would like out of the tie men and say hello. some loudly and some hide behind their mummy's skirts. oh just for info, it's always mummy or grandma who open the door.

haiya shall stop here. my mummy's chasing me to bathe ready. later.
