A Bonus Conversation for the Year 2011

Happy New Year...never too late...9 days of the Year 2011. May our Lord grant us happiness,joy,peace and all the blessings and graces to enable us to continue on this life's journey.

The bonus conversation for the year...is between my dad and myself. It was right after the contractor completed the installation of the laminated floor to my kitchen...

SRS: So I guess you are not coming back to Sarawak anymore?

I was stunned...shocked...speechless...and facing him I asked...
Me: Daddy...what do you mean?
SRS: Well...look at this place...its already a home. You have everything here...you made everything fit so nicely.

I wanted to cry listening to what my dad have said...
Me: Daddy...how can you say that? Of course I am still coming home to BINTULU...which is my home and I am still keeping that house in Bintulu. That is home to the children and myself...its just that for now I need to get away from there...away from those memories. This one will be our 2nd home and I need to make it "homely" otherwise I will never get to settle down here...and its a gift to my two girls...a place they can called another home which is away from Bintulu...

SRS: Ok...and he turned away...

That conversation remains and lingers in my mind till today...and daddy has been calling me everyday since he went home last Friday...
