What can possibly make one happier when one can be home with one's family, have dinner, chat and even cuddle on one of these coldest days in the history of HK?
The first three days of work have been slowly eaten my morale away once again. Like all other teachers, I have to wake up at 5 or 6 something just to get ready for work. But these days, HK is experiencing its coldest February, with record low temperature of 5 to 6 degree Celsius! As I have been working on this s2 literature module since... forever...(?) a feeling of resistance and disgust has developed inside my system, so much so that, today I fell ill as a result.
Perhaps only partly because of it... I don't know... But I had this acute headache that I couldn't stay at work after 6pm to finish up what I had been working on. So I went home.
In fact, originally, I was supposed to be at my parents' home for my baby niece. She just came back to HK. But i was so sick that before I got any closer to her, I went straight for the toilet and puked the entire history of my day out. Then I went right to the sofa and slept until my mum woke me up for medicine. My parents were so worried about me that they poured out the entire medicine chest to look for the right medicine for me. They even tried the water twice to make sure it was of the right temperature for drinking.
I was touched and even wanted to apologize for not taking good care of myself. But all I could say at that moment, semi-unconsciously, was that they were too loud and were adding up to my headache. How ungrateful I was! But deep down, I appreciated thier care and love. So, after waking up the second time which was just 45 mins ago, I said thank you to my mum, first time, after a long time...
Now, as I am heading back to my own home, I feel this new source of energy inside me, that fuels me to go another mile further, that helps me to remember once again, who I should spend my brightest days and share my brightest stars with.
I love you, mum and dad.
Hugs
