Egg Please

Just came back from a stroll with my mom and dad. Could really feel that they really miss talking to their eldest son. It's really comforting to look back at the past when we were young and laughing about it. Some of you may be doing it right now. Too much of school and work has distanced me from sparing some time to get closer to my parents. I want to feel like their little boy again in all sincerity. I felt warm and realized that the rat race and the whole academic experience was actually a trade off to what was truly valuable, family.

Not many of us take strolls with our parents anymore. Sit down at the dinner table and sharing the daily happenings in our lives. I share more of my personal life with my mom, the girls that I've met, those who were interesting, those who gave me the hot and cold treatment, those who came up to me and said hi during performances. To be honest, I'm shy when I'm off stage. People approaching me gets me nervous at times. I can't put up the same on-stage persona when I'm off stage. It's totally different. Many would beg to differ and would not believe me. Haha. But yeah, close friends would know and sometimes try to knock some senses into me.

My dad, I share work problems and school activities whenever we have time. Being a taxi driver himself renders him to work long hours and sometimes we seldom meet. And now I know that all he wanted, was to see me at home. That's all. Visually seeing me at home. I'm trying to do that more often. And it would not help much that I will be away from Singapore for 4 months soon.

It's been a while since we last ate out together. Tonight, stopping over at a prata shop and just having a prata or two just relived the memories again. A remembrance of how important family is. Please remember guys. School is school. Do not let school take control of your life. It's a big trade off if you do not know how to balance it properly. Your parents may not voice out that they miss your presence at home but don't let them miss you in silence. Do something special perhaps one of these days.
