Finally I am in my room, waiting for my brain to send the sleepy signal to my body! Today the day seem to be short and fun! Sales was good and most of the customer are fantastic and not problematic. I was alone at my counter after 6p.m. after Caslyn knock off. 3 person were on morning shift while I am the only person on afternoon shift (3-11) which was the shift most people hate. The only problem was meal time. Had a big miscommunication and in the end I had dinner with Ke jia. Poor Cynthia, who I thought she had someone to eat with her, have to eat alone. Felt very bad, making Cynthia to eat her dinner alone and did not go and have dinner with Jenny despite we arrange it earlier. Minus out this issue, everything was great and my sales was about $2k. It had been sometime since I had this amount of sales and hope I will have it more often.
Receive a phone call from Christine even before I step into centrepoint. She left me a sandwich for me to eat. Despite it was something she was too full to consume it and left at the counter for me, at least she still will call and inform me about the sandwich. The sandwich came in so handy at around 8p.m. when my stomach start to produce the growling sound. No matter what, THANKS CHRISTINE!
Left centrepoint for home with Ke Jia as she live near me. Reach home at around 1130p.m. and went to buy supper at around 12.30a.m. and now I am feeling so full.
My mum had gastric and she ate very little for dinner (almost nothing) and I suggested to have supper as I was hungry as well. My mum does not want to go out so I suggested I will go and pack home the food so that we can have our supper together. She insisted that we have our supper at the place then we buy her a bun for her to eat. Once I board the car, I told my dad that my mum haven't had much for dinner, he was furious. He didn't even allow me to drive the car despite he agreed to it earlier. The initial plan was to go Ang Mo Kio to have porridge as my mum mention that it was above average but my dad decide to change it to Hougang which is near to home. He sped all the way just to buy the supper and sped all the way back, cursing and swearing at cars that is kind of obstructing his way.
It made me realize that love after marriage does exist and love is not just about commenting on his/her feeling and affection but to act it out. Showing love does not mean performing big tasks or buy expensive stuff for each other. Love can be shown by simple action. I thought it is simply just habit that each other use to do but after seeing what my dad did today, it made me realize that it is not habit but the passion of love which still continue burning despite after years.
My dad was angry that my mum did not have her dinner and the change of location from Ang Mo Kio to Hougang (My dad loves to eat the porridge at Ang Mo Kio) and not allowing me to drive was because he wants to let my mum to have her meal in the shortest possible time. On the other hand, my mum wanted me to let my dad to have his supper there (at Ang Mo Kio) instead of packing back because my mum knows that my dad loves to eat food that are freshly served. Sacrificing own comfort for the sake of the comfort of their loves one was indeed admirable. My dad pack a packet of Hokkien mee instead of the bun my mum wanted as he insist that my mum do not sleep with hungry stomach. I wonder in future will I ever be like my dad, sacrifice his own time/comfort for the sake of everyone and will the passion of love be able to last through out my whole marriage life (if i am able to get myself a wife).
it's you and me <3
