I love Fridays....the start of another weekend. I always remember TGIF...thank God it's Friday.....this was what my American lecturer used to say to us students during our English lesson on Fridays. Those days i still have to attend lectures and work on Fridays but these days Friday is the start of a long weekend for me.
Today i shall be visiting my friends in Ipoh. As usual it will be a time of chit chatting and going round the town for some good food. My friends have been telling me the prices of food in Ipoh has gone up tremendouly and it is no longer cheap as in those days. The cost of living has gone up so much......and the income of the people simply cannot cope with the rising cost of living. Yes, there is not much money to spread around but living in this country is much better than many countries in the world. At least the government here does hand out goodies to the lower income group. So, in life we should not complain too much but learn to appreciate the little that we have, then living is so much more pleasant and happier.
One of my cousins called yesterday to invite me to her son's wedding party in two weeks' time. I just can't imagine all my nieces and nephews getting married and having children of their own when my memory of them was they were just kids. Now they are all grown up and ready to face the world on their own. Not too far in the future i would have little kids addressing me as grandaunt........this thought is certainly very daunting. Well, that's life.........
