After a long absence
I can't remember when was my last entry. It must about two to three months ago. I have been at home for six weeks today. Gosh, sure time flies. Yes, for those that did not know, I am back in Jakarta now after being away for 14 years (about). Home feels like.... home. I have been easing in living with family again. Surprisingly it is not as difficult as I thought. I share a room with my sister since there's no other spare room in the house. And my sister and I share a king bed! It's not a big room. Just enuff I suppose to be comfortable.
I don't really spend much time in the room anyway except when i want to sleep.
What has been happening for six weeks?
There are a lot a lot of things that have happened.. and it really feels now that I have been home for longer than six weeks. Well events have taken place which are special and which unfortunately or fortunately (for those who knows) I wish to keep in private for now.
I am enjoying home nevertheless... hahha... no need to cook, do washing, ironing, make my own beds... become lazy.... hahaha.. the luxury of having someone to help you do all those things...
It's also good to be home because finally every member of the family is together. My sis is also back, and my brother too. Well, it's been sometime.. and we always can't take for granted this time that has been given.
I enjoy family dinner together. Going to church, watching TV, playing board games... talking about anything...
We recently bought a huge bookshelf. My dream came true! :) We have quite a lot of books at home and they are always so messy, I can't stand it. So I have been cleaning and re arranging all the books in the bookshelf. It feels like having a mini library. Well a mini mini library. Part of the rearranging the bookshelf is also putting together all the photo albums. Most of them have broken apart. So I have to buy new albums and transfer them. It is quite a tiring task but it was so fun to look at baby photos of my sis, my bro and myself! :) And my parents' wedding photos, family trips, silly photos... photos of us growing up... my Dad sinc eyoung till now... photos bring back so much memories... and so many happiness... and sadness too... my Grandma's funeral... and sure time has brought us so far. It really made me feel quite sentimental. Noticed things which I never noticed. Grateful for things that i took for granted.
Being home again. and looking at photos of the past. feels like i was being taken to the past to understand today. who i am. going full circle.
