Last week I went to the Hari Raya Bazaar with the family at Geylang. It was just my dad, my little sister, baby niece Aisah and me. It was on a Friday night if I recalled
Started the day meeting my little sister at Causeway Point to pick up the little tyke. These days I just hate traveling, the time it will take and the cost. No matter if it’s the public transport or having your own vehicle, it’s all boils down to one major issue, it’s just costly to move around in Singapore.
I just hope the increase in recent transport hikes is in tally with our pay-rises too. Hope you all get big fat bonuses eh. Well anyway, it took me about an hour from NTU to reach Woodlands, via the train and bus transfers.
When we finally picked up Aisah and she looked truly excited
It was 3 months back when I last saw baby Aisah. She has grown. Less chubbier, taller now and fairer. Looks like my big sister have not been going to the playground much. I don’t really meddle with my big sister family issues and life, for one I’m not in good terms with the brother in law, in fact the whole family isn’t. Well that’s another issue
Kesian pity Aisah … you can tell she has not gone out much
When baby Aisah saw me, she was hesitant to get close to me. I offered her my hand to hold her, but she pushed it away playfully, hiding behind my little sister most of the time. Malu shy lah baby Aisah. But she wasn’t shy when I started to snap photos of her. I think I’ve a vainpot little niece, chet!
Well we hop on-board the train to Paya Lebar where we’ll be meeting my dad after work. It was a crowded Friday evening, so I reckon we won’t get seat but at least baby Aisah would surely right. I was confident of our gahmen courtesy campaign is a sure success … To my dismay, no one offered any seats when they saw baby Aisah
Truly disappointing, truly Singapore … Heh I got the line from the Truly Asia ad, nifty hur :p
The thing is, there was a pregnant lady too in our carriage too. So the MRT users was spoiled for choice on whom they should give up their seats, but noooooo … the pregnant lady had to stand too. Well at the sight of us, it seems people immediately felt sleepy and dozed off. Yeah good acting pal
When it got too crowded in the train, I held on to baby Aisah. Of course she was oblivious to the things around her, always smiling and shrieking in pleasure. I was tickling and kissing her too much during the whole ride
Upon arriving at Paya Lebar, we met dad. He looks much tanner. He’s doing ood-jobs like maintainance these days. It seems he aged every time I met dad. Here I am, still a bum and jobless. I do feel guilty not being able to support him for now. It reassuring to see him again

yes..agreed.. every sane childs wish.. we are forever indebted to our parents.. no matter how small or large their involvement in our lives are or were..
alaaaaaaaaah so cute i rekon! eh.. i just realised.. i been calling your niece baby aishah.. got it wrong.. SORRY.. baby aisah.. i think the reason why is because i have an anak sedara named aisha.. but either way.. they also got birthdays so close.. my niece is 23rd Feb.. ure niece is 20th Feb.. indeed cool girls, coz mines the 26th.. HO HO HO..

Alaaa uncle sha…aisah not a baby anymore..Aisah dah big girl kan?!..dah kakak :-) hehe..no matter how old they get they r always your babies. btw..can see the family resemblance with ur sis.
im always in debt to my parents.. we will forever be… no matter what, they are always there with us… its a never ending contribution from parents to kids, kids to parents…
i can see that really a hardworking man’s look on your dad’s face.
as parent, we cannot expect much from our kids, nowadays..but..
at the end of a day..it is a consolation for us when our kids are not rude,
spoken harsh words, and most important, they acknowledge our present
when we come home after a hard day work.
during my time, we spent min.10 years studying..then we go to work..
but now you guys have to spend at least 20 years in school
b4 you can repay or support your parent.
