A simple outing
A simple outing
Time together with family and friends are always the best part of life, isn't it? ... Where you share bonds that are forged, understanding, common goals and interests, topics under the sun where you can just chatter on and on ...
Sis and I took mum out for a simple seafood lunch at Changi Village with eldest sis, bro-in-law, and 5th sis. Mum always love every opportunity to be able to be out of the house. She's not the adventurous person, neither has she many friends - all because she tied herself to the household ever since she married my dad. Her circle revolves around her husband, her children and all the relatives. Yet she never grumble nor blame anyone. She was content to be a good mother and a disciplinarian to her children. Because of the years she spent at home, she never had chances to venture out on her own to explore places even around this small island - she's largely dependent on us to bring her around. She always felt the trauma of being lost coming back to her when she recounted how she brought my cousin to view our then new flat many years ago ...
On the way to collect our car, we took a short walk around and mum was so happy to see the sea, the ferry point, the boats, Changi park, etc. Since we were never airport, we decided to detour on our way back home to T3 for some more fun, and we're glad we went - mum had such a great time!! The only pity was that none of us brought our camera along coz we thought we were only going out for lunch =(
The short time of bonding together reminded me it's not about the places we go to that matters, but whose company we are in. And family members are people who are always close to our heart, people who are always there for us and who accepts us unconditionally. Thank God for families =)
