Christmas Eve, Family time

It's rare that she got invited by her friend to go yumcha in the morning. I went to market city with her to wait for her long lost friend, who used to work with her in China back in 30 years ago. half an hour later, he came with his wife. They both ate so little, his wife talked so little. I was right beside mum busy playing her iPhone while both of them have been recalling the past all this time...

As mum's been looking for the massage chair, he directed her to level 2 and tried the ones there first. It was too good to let it go, we love how it relieves tension in our back, feet, mostly the whole body, only the price is not affordable for a family like us. 

The quality of Cotton on's pj, undies and bras are so damn good with super low price, so it wasn't strange for her to shop around for nearly 3 hours in such a shop with ideal style and price at the same time. 

The work is done, the shopping is done, time to have some family time in this Christmas Eve. The church is the best and first place I can think of to take mum to. It offered free food and freebies for everyone despite we ain't Christians. For laid-back kind of atmosphere that mum and I enjoyed the most in the church event was the carol, the songs were all musically played with piano that brought us with a sense of belonging to the ones who were Christians there. 

I like how the weather turned to be a bit cooler with rain, but not that heavily pouring. That's how a Christmas should be like. Mum recorded a few videos, though it was rather embarrassing to turn around because I was actually upsetting about something. Looking back to the past years, I was full of all sorts of feelings well up in my minds by thinking about how much I have changed to who I am now, and how there was so much for me to overcome with emotion. Looking at the one that was next to me, my mum, who's been here for me all these 21 years, and I finally get to spend a Christmas Eve with her this year. I was saddened by the carol, which accentuated my isolation from what I got from separation in the past, yet without all these, I might have never known the increasingly deep feeling within me growing stronger and stronger to my forever love one, she's there, for me, and she'll never leave.
