Day 11

2012-08-02  En overcast day

When I was washing my clothes this morning, Ah Gui was lying in front of me and looked at me. She is not  scared of people that much anymore because since I came back I have been pampered her. I still haven't found a solution to settle her, starting getting worry about her...

I went to my mother's brother's wife's house for lunch. She was glad when I over there. Well, as she said she cooked a lot but no one at home wanted to eat. I was happy though because I felt so lucky to be served with ready cooked meal. Every time I visit her, she always cook my favorite dish - dried fried fish, it's so great! Mum was very good in cooking this dish too..

After I came back from lunch, I started with the packing. Mum always kept telling me to bring back that beautiful dinner set to Sweden but I always put her off. and now I cannot do that anymore...

4p.m. in the evening I was eating Kari Puff alone in the living room. Suddenly I got upset... Mum always watched TV at this time and having her evening refreshment. When I was with her, she would share her refreshment with me. Today nobody shared my refreshment with me. The wicker chair was empty. I could only imagine mum was sitting there, crying and laughing at the TV drama, and then she would tell me the plots of the drama, sharing her delicious refreshment and the sweet taste of her coffee...I once had them...


My skin is getting itching and have been itching for the whole day. I guess it must be the smog. Today whole day the sky was covered with the hazy smog. The sun didn't even get the chance to show off and shine. Poor Malaysian people has been helplessly bullied by the Indonesian. (Every year Indonesians will burn their fields during this period of time and the smog will cross over The Strait of Malacca and reached the air in Malaysia)

Today I sorted out the books in the bookcase (under the stairs). I really liked literature so much then. I would love to bring back all these books to Sweden but I know it is impossible. I hope Dennis will help me to keep some of them.
Only a small part of the books


I have cleaned up mum's favorite dinner set. She asked me many times to bring them back to Sweden but I didn't do it, but this time I will. I want to bring them home and pass down to my girls. This was mum's wish. But I am having a headache how should I pack them... this is going to be a challenge for me.

This packing process is far too slow! My method of packing is watching the TV and packing at the same time. If mum was really here now, she would have scolded me for being sooo slow

Mum was an anxious person and unfortunately she had adopted me who is a slow person. Fortunately when I was young, during my schooling time, and before I got married, because of mum I was never late...So we were fit to each other pretty well.. Pity at her old age her temperament became irritable and people surrounding her was scared of her...

I am going to meet up with Dennis tomorrow, so happy! ^o^
