FollowMy older brother and his family from Singapore came back to Ipoh, and so did my younger brother from KL. They were all back to have an early Father’s Day celebration with my dad.
Since Thursday, our family has been dining out and spending time together, bonding over good food, endless conversations, and lots of laughter. These family gatherings don’t happen often anymore, so every moment feels extra precious.
My older brother’s 9-year-old twin boy & girl and I have also been bonding over Haru, my cat. They absolutely love cats and have been trying their best to get close to her. But Haru, being the timid little cat that she is, has spent the last few days huffing, puffing, and hissing whenever the twins got near. The twins get so excited and noisy whenever they see her, and poor Haru gets completely overwhelmed by all the attention and fanfare! She hides under my bed most of the time to avoid them 😅
Today is their fourth day in Ipoh, and Haru has finally started to warm up to them. She still won’t let them pet her, though—perhaps that’s a privilege they’ll have to earn on their next visit. 😆
Tomorrow, my brothers and their families will head back to KL and Singapore respectively, and the house will be quiet again. Mum and I will return to our strength training classes, and we’ll be back to eating simple home-cooked meals after four days of eating out three times a day. 😜
As much as I enjoy the peace and routine of everyday life, there is something special about having the people you love gathered under one roof. The laughter, the noise, the shared meals, and even Haru’s dramatic protests are the little moments that become treasured memories.
Family time may be fleeting, but the memories made around the dining table will stay with us long after everyone has gone home.❤️
