Belated Thanksgiving

I just realised... my life is turning into some factory assembly point of sorts... I'm really taking things for granted too.

When at home, I wake up, eat bread that's baked by my father, spread with mayo tuna that's made by my parents...

Then I'll wash the dishes and slack off at the computer, occasionally glancing to see my mother handwashing the clothes, dunking the others into the washing machine, getting excess water from the washing machine to the bathroom, and hanging out the clothes. Then she'll read a novel or two, before going for work... but after she whipped up a afternoon dish of noodles or kuay teow...

After which, my siblings and I will sweep (rarely, and my mum...), and on certain days, I'll mop the floor.

After coming back from work, Mum will read another chinese novel, before getting ready to cook a five dish dinner... and the day ends like that...

I just got a flu, along with a high fever, and it got me imagining things...

If my parents weren't there for me, what will happen?

It's been at least a year, and parents are still as fit as a fiddle. The last time she cut her finger during cooking, my sister and I had a hard time adapting...

I seem to be taking things for granted.... I can't help but start appreciating my parents, especially my mum, who brought me up to who I am now...

I just seem like an unfilial child until now huh?

People start thinking about returning deeds when the time is right... but I guess I have to think otherwise... my dad's already 55, and my mom's 50 already.... seems like it's time for my sis and I to take over as the supporting pillars in the family....
