It's not mother's day. Had been having some thoughts about how I survived my degree, master... and hopefully now my doctorate. I realised house work really takes up your time. The cooking, washing and cleaning. Mum took care of all that when I was in school. I will say without her super mum mode, I will not be able to have so much time learning. Now I realised how much hard work it is. Someone told me you only see house work when you do not do it. ha..ha..

Everything is so still. My in-laws, 4th uncle and aunty and 2nd uncle and aunty left for Frankfurt yesterday evening. This morning Sian Lun left for Stockholm.

Everything is so still at home. No more chirpy and merry voices in the morning. No more breakfast together.

Everything is so still. called mum this morning had a little chat, counting the hours my in-laws will check in and fly back to Malaysia.

Everything is so still. Told myself I have to quickly finish my studies and go back to my family where I belong.

Finally weekend. Tomorrow is World Woman's day, I finally understood why sometimes woman are called "shan ba" -38 (march the 8th). I am soo soo soo tired... am typing this while keeping my eyes close. Do not know wy is it that my eyes are so tired lately. Perhaps I work too hard.. ha..ha..Anyhow, a few short notes before i go to bed.

Just came back from "Reunion- Dinner" with friends. Actually I only know two of the four guest (excluding me) but there is always opportunity for strangers to be friend.
