It is Sunday again and everything is now back to normal. Last week was the long holiday for Malaysia. The Indians celebrated their Deepavali on Tuesday and Malays, Hari Raya on Thursday and Friday. Both my sisters and many of my cousins took Monday and Wednesday off and came back for the whole week. It was so fun and so good to have everyone home again. But then again, good times like this always pass on too quickly.
It has been so long since all 4 of us get to be at home together for such a long period of time. It was good and precious. We get to do things together and spent a lot of time at Grandpa's keeping grandpa company, catching up with cousins and playing with the kids and babies there. What did we do for the whole week? Nothing much really. Had a memorial service for my late grandma, ate a lot, laughed a lot, talked a lot, slept a lot, erm... that's about it.
Even though Malaysia is a multi racial society, none of us in the family went home visiting either to the Indians or Malays during this festive season. Actually for all of us, we do not have Indian or Malay friend whom we can visit.. Hahahaha. Quite sad eh? Oh well... that's the reality with most people here anyway. We are still racist to a certain extent.
Now that is is all over, i am now the only child at home again. Not complaining, but it gets a bit lonely at times.
