I'm Back !

Haha.. I sound as if I'm just back from overseas.

Truth is, I was extremely busy! I've been helping Ad with his shifting of the house stuff, took leave to help him last week to help him pack his stuff. Shifting of house may seem like a fun and exciting phase in one's life journey but may not be that highly anticipated for some. Guess it was no surprise why there were occassions of grief Ad expressed as he packed the house. This was the house of his parent's matrimonial property; where he grew up as a kid; where he hid into his own world of comfort whenever he seek peace, freedom and refuge; where he finds his true self. It has been sold for a good price and THEY will be staying together under 1 roof somewhere in town - Potong Pasir till they find their ideal home when the 'price is right', hopefully so next year. The memories of Ad's childhood surfaced when his Mum took out the gigantic framed up childhood photographs of baby Ad, his sis and great-grandma; when Ad discovered the old photographs of Ad & his 2 ex gfs; the 'antiques' that were kept since don't-know-when like soap, receivers, super retro handphones, CONDOMS. Ya.. expired dried-out CONDOMS. *dammit!* Anyway, they have all been THROWN away, making its way for NEW things of the present. ^_^

Ad's been uberly busy with this shift too. Having to arrange with the helpers, transportation, warehouse, gotta drive the lorry himself to transport the stuff, bundled up with heavy workload at work, packing, inner stress & pressure of the thought of having a 'family-overload'... he broke down that fateful night after he sent the last load of items to the warehouse. I felt bad really when I witnessed his 1st drop of emotions when I told him off about his f-up timing that I was supposed to pick him up. *long story* Anywayz, later did I realise, he was just too stressed up with all the moving procedures all 'arrowed' at his resources and being emotionally uptight with extreme worry of the conflicts that will arise when his two families live under 1 small roof - Ad, Ad's Mum, Dad, Sis, Bro-in-law, 4yr old nephew + a maid. I can imagine the squeeze. However, it's temporary baby... Everyone of us can face changes in life. Some changes are inevitable u know. Hey life is fair. And if they are out of our control, we'll just have to learn to adapt and make things better, not drown with it na. Yup, easier said than done. We have to try!!!

These will all be kept in memory... in Ad and his family and in mine too. I was first here on 14 Nov 2006. :) Ad's room on the left.
The house felt cold... emptiness in abundance.
The house is just at the back of the Rochester Park. This was how near his house was.
The sheltered multistorey carpark with many SUMMON+Luxurious Vrrooms memories.

The playground

Capitilize & make the best out of this change. Who knows, it might even reap a tighter family bonding. U know, I do envy you guys with a big family... Life's so ironic.
