..when a house is bereft of little children and infants, life tends to flow along languidly, with the dust settling silently on shades and tables..and food cooked impulsively remained untouched..although nothing is immaculate, the furniture is seldom trampled upon, and there is no fear of glassware falling and breaking..the monotony is only broken by the cackle of a rooster or the bleating of a wandering lamb unable to find its way out..
until,sometimes, the daughters came a-visiting, along with their children..and a house settled within its own repose and quiet, was once again alive with the shrieks of children and the wails of infants..

Selamat menyambut ramadhan Almubarak to PakMat and his blog's readers..
Salam Pakmat,
...they're pain-in-the-neck when they are around; and pain-in-the-heart when they're not...
I'd rather have that pain in the neck! :)

salam pak mat,
oh dear, sometimes i wish i got some peace in my house. with 2 preschool kids and a baby, i haven't experienced silence for a long time.
heck, i couldn't even hear myself thinking.
no...not complaining, i count my blessing. it's just that sometimes i wondering whether should i go back to work or continue being stay at home mom..hmmm....decision decison..
Selamat menyambut Ramadhan Al Mubarak untuk pak mat dan keluarga.
..then enjoy them whilst you can, curly hair..for their time with you is so brief..enjoy their cries, and cry for attention..for once the silence come, there will be a dull ache in your heart and you'll reminisce like I am now, of the time that was but yesterday, when you held them in your arms, wiped their tears, and do-doi them to sleep..selamat berpuasa, curly hair..for there are many who would envy you...:) cheers
Wow pakmat... this must be how my dad feels when we balik kampung. Are you as obliging to your grandchildren as my dad to his? He put up a basketball net (custom ordered the tiang, no less!) a few years back just because my daughter loves to shoot basketball. I think to date, dah 5 biji bola (or more) he bought for my kids! Yup, that's my dad... my daughter has him wrapped around her little fingers, I must say.
..which granddad is not more that obliging?..:)imagine your offspring having a child of her own..and your children is lucky with a dad like yours..as you are, too..and one day you'll be that gushing grandma, hehehe..cheers..
the best of times pakmat, when the general managers call the shots and we duly oblige...
.yes, lc..it is always the best of times when it comes to gandchildren..just you wait...
