v o g u e ; unabated

My family is not like other families who get to spend quality time every weekend. Hubby has been on shift work eversince forever, even before I knew him. There are times when I won't get to see hubby up to 3-4 days at a stretch due to our different working times. Can be very frustrating I tell ya.

Pity Apit who is on school holidays yet we can't bring him out much. All I did was to buy him workbooks for him to practice on to prepare for his K1 next year and colouring books to occupy his time. He was especially very happy when his cousin slept over for a few days and he played like there was no tomorrow. They ate, played and slept together. Dah mcm belangkas seh.

This week, I took every opportunity to take Apit out when hubby had an off day even if it was on a weekday and I had to rush thru my work to meet them after work.

First it was to NY Pizza to fulfill Apit's cravings of having pizza. I brought them to my usual spot with the girls. We had our delicious dinner and I can see Apit too enjoyed himself.

Then we headed for dinner again last nite . This time Apit really enjoyed himself.There a Christmas display that blew giant bubbles every few minutes. Apit went crazy chasing after the bubbles and popping them and we walked around the shopping centre. Had our dinner and Apit insisted we take some pictures with the displays and his all time fave our lampu lap lip as he calls them .

No more outings for Apit after last nite. He will be staying over at his Nyai's for a week! A whole week I tell ya I am gonna miss him soooooooooooo much. I took leave during the Christmas period so that I can bring both boys out for that long festive weekend. It shall be our lil mini holiday in Singapore. I hope he will enjoy himself and remember these moments as sweet memories.I hope he will remember that even tho I wasn't able to bring him on any overseas trip nor buy him expensive toys or bring him out every weekend like any other kids would do with their family, at least he would know that I still love him and have good memories of his young time with his Ibu n Ayah.

InsyAllah, son, one day, Ibu will be able to do all the things I was unable to do with you. I won't let you feel inferior to your friends. I may not furnish your life with luxuries but I strive to fill it with happines and sweet memories.

On another note, I received 2 good news this morning. Alhamdulillah, our lives will soon change and we will achieve the dreams that we have put on hold for so long now.

Wistful for Love
