I live with my grandmother in Bentong, while my parents live and work in Kuala Lumpur. They usually come home to see us once or twice a month. If they manage to get away, it will be on the weekend, usually arriving very late on Friday night. Everyone has a favorite day, and my favorite day happens to be at the end of the week. So, Saturday is my favorite day of the week for that is the day when I get to see my parents.
It is a joyful feeling just to know that my parents are in the house and sleeping in their room. Early in the morning, I wake up cold, feeling my parents warm body across the bed. I know that my father will be very tired, after driving all the way home after a demanding day at work. So, I keep very quiet, allowing them to get all the rest they need. My mother usually wakes up first. “Where is my big girl?” is her usual greeting, followed by warm hugs and kisses. I will make her a cup of black coffee, just the way she likes it, and we will sit on the balcony, sharing our experiences since we last met. This is my favorite part of the day, pouring out my heart to my mum, my closest confidante.
When my father finally wakes up, we go out for breakfast. It is usually dim sum (点心), my father’s favorite breakfast food. This is a joyful family time. My father’s jokes never fail to make us roar with laughter. Sometimes, my grandmother will tell my parents the news concerning our other relatives, including their illnesses or bad behavior. My father will comfort her and try to encourage her to be patient and happy. When my grandmother gets into this mood, I would be upset inside because I wonder whether she will mention my misdeeds. Fortunately, my parents are both understanding, and try to keep our breakfast a light-hearted occasion.
