Honey I am Homeeeee!!

I am finally home to annoy the family. As of today I have had:

1. One bowl of kolo mee
2. One bowl of yung tau fu.
3. One meal of seafood *yum*
4. One plate of wah-tan-ho

5. Two pieces of kaya on toast.
6. Three pieces of durian.

Which is not bad huh? It is nowhere near the amount of food I consumed when I came back at Chinese New Year and had a 24-hour food tour. I have great plans to eat my way through twenty packets of kolo mee while I am back So far I have negotiated eight packets for my personal consumption from my siblings. I will just have to steal the rest.

The friends who will be around this time are all pretty busy so I will have to entertain myself by reading books and spring cleaning my house. I have done one bathroom so far and will move along to different rooms as the week progresses. Decluttering is very therapeutic. My mother has told me to put all the stuff I want to give away in a big box so that she can dispose of it. I know I have a lot of many things and I guess I have reached a stage of life where I don't want too many bits and pieces. Just one pair of diamond studs, one diamond ring, one purple cocktail ring, one pink bag, one blue bag, one single box of cookies... You know... The cousins are eyeing my shoe collection but I doubt many would move past my sister who has the same size feet as I have *shock horror*. When the baby of the family started to grow I have no idea but I do not like the idea that she may one day tower over me.

It is great to be home. Nothing beats the feeling of being accepted just as you are, warts and all. The endless food supply, free laundry, brilliant punchbags siblings who come back to be entertained again. Home is where your lamest jokes are belly-aching funny, where your sarcasm is known to be harmless and your whining actually gets someone's attention. The moment you arrive home, the tension in your shoulders fade away, the headache you have been nursing somehow disappears and the abdominal pain that has been bugging you the past few weeks magically resolves.

The next two weeks will be heaven sent. I will hopefully be able to rest and reassess my priorities in life and try not to get myself married off.
