Restrengthening The Family Bond

We haven’t done this for a very long time.

Eversince mama got herself promoted, she has become very busy with her work and too tied up with too many activities. At the same time, step-father becomes too involved in the game of golf, that he prefers going to the driving range than going out with us (well, sometimes la). Then, things worsen when I have to follow hubby working in Mumbai, India and younger sister has to go work in Macau.

Everybody seems to be busy with our own interests and activities, that we forget we still have our 15 year old brother (youngest child in this side of family) to care about. However, eventhough there’s hardly any quality time together now, of course the family bond is still there, still strong and unbreakable. Air yang dicincang tak akan putuihhhh…

My brother so badly wanted to check the K-Zone Event out, which was happening at The Curve, Mutiara Damansara yesterday. In a very soft voice, he asked if I could take him there. Gosh, how could I reject! And so, I said to him, “Of course, I’ll take you there!”. As I thought that this would be the right time to restrengthen the weak family bond, I urged everyone in the house to come along with us. Mama and step-father agreed to go and off we went to The Curve! Lagipun dah lama tak spend quality time together. Sister's not around, so it's just the four of us.

When it’s time for lunch, they just could not make up their minds of where to eat! My brother wanted to eat at Bubba Gump Shrimp but step-father disagreed and wanted to eat at Marche Movenpick instead. It was quite a ‘war’ there between my step-father and brother. It’s funny (and fun too) to see a warga emas dengan budak kecik bickering about… FOOD! Mem besar and I jadik orang tengah la! At last, step-father won the ‘fight’ and no need for guessing where we had to have our lunch at la kan!! Pssttt… actually I was on brother’s side cause dah muak makan kat Marche Movenpick, tapi malas nak masuk campur ‘pergaduhan’ yang amat besar itu, so I diam aje la!

After we had our fill, mama wanted to check a few things out at the flea market, just outside the Marche Movenpick Restaurant. I bought her three beautiful shawls and a fancy hair clip. Ye la, kalau dah mem besar dok belek bende-bende tu semua dekat satu jam, tak kan tak belikan plak kannnn… karang mem merajuk, manyak susah wooo! Hee… hee… hee… I, myself, ended up buying a couple of items from the flea market too! Shopping sakan!
